I am updating my review. I went to NOVO Friday with some friends and I am still dreaming about those carne asada fries. They have broadened their menu and their alcohol selection. I highly recommend this place for sure.

Location is great. There's plenty to do and even farmers market on Tuesday I think. They have a variety of drink from cocktails to kombucha. Service was okay. It was pretty slow when I visited. The menu I was handed was incomplete so I wasn't aware of their happy hour. They have a bunch of tv's and they show ufc fights which is a plus.

Ambiance is nice and family friendly The food was very tasty. I got steak and chicken parm with Alfredo pasta juicy and tasty. My only take is portion size was slightly poor considering the high price. Good kids playground to play, thought some things don't appear to be working. Overall good family friendly restaurant/bar. Will come again.

This place is huge!!! Tons of seating, lots of giant screens playing sports, music playing, monster selection of beers and flavored kombuchas. Food was great as well. Lots of servers and bar hops that keep circling the tables to make sure your glass is full and your tables clean. The place a huge kids play area in the back and a few sections for private parties. It felt half sports bar and half restaurant. It was very loud and lively. They also had a small area outside as well.

4 stars for service, food and ambiance. 3 stars for drinks. Service : all employees are friendly. Open seating when you walk in. Super spacious inside. Plenty of tvs to watch sports and lots of room for activities. There's even a kids section tucked away in the corner with a mini playground and arcade games. Food was pretty good! We ordered the carne asada bowl, Ensenada plate and veggie medley for our daughter. All three meals were cooked fresh and flavorful. I love how tender the mahi mahi was for the Ensenada plate and the veggies were too. Soft enough for my toddler to chew. The rice it came with was buttery but tasty. We'd definitely come back for the food! The drinks were interesting. We ordered the passion fruit mojito (sweet, a lot going on), and Brazilian sake (hellla strong). Drinks are strong but a little too much going on for our liking. Their menu selection is huge. Next time we go, we'll try other drinks. We were so hungry, we didn't take pictures. I'll update my review with pictures next time!

This place is in a shopping center, so parking is plentiful. The brewery is also huge so it's really good for large groups of 10, 20, or even 30+ people. The menus are scanned QR code, lots of beer selections to choose from, and the ones I had were very tasty. My friend and only stayed for 2 drinks a person, so we didn't get food or anything else. When we first got there, many workers came in to check in on us when we weren't quite ready to order, but once we were ready to order, nobody batted an eye towards us. Would recommend this spot and would definitely come back.
