Had cross-contact reaction after dining here. The food was good, but their kitchen seems to be lax on the protocols. Not worth the risk for me to go again.

Great menu that is marked with items that are gf or those that are gfo, meaning they can be modified to be gf. Server was super knowledgeable and I felt safe eating everything. Even had gf lemon cheesecake!

I had a great experience here. Let the server know I was gluten intolerant and my husband and I ordered two small plates gluten free. Then my husband (not gluten intolerant) decided he wanted to try the short ribs which is not GF optional. I didn't want any so it didn't matter to me. We added that to our order when she came back with our drinks. Halfway through our meal the server rushed over to let us know about the soy sauce in the sauce for the short ribs. I told her it was not a problem, I knew that, and wasn't eating it. I really appreciated that attention to detail. The food was amazing with beautiful patio seating and dog friendly. We'll definitely be back.

Novo’s food is excellent and their staff is so knowledgeable about gluten and ingredients on the menu. Items are marked on the menu as GF or GF option. The menu changes seasonally and keeps favorites on there too. The patio is incredible and makes for an amazing dining experience.

Nicer place to eat brunch and lunch. Their options are marked gf or gfo (gluten free option) clearly. Not that much variety but not too bad eitherz

Menu has GF options clearly marked. Our sever was very knowledgeable about preparation and making sure nothing was cross contaminated. I am a very sensitive celiac and didn't get sick! Pricey food but yummy. And great ambiance along the creek.

Great spot! Beautiful, large back patio lined with trees and overlooking creek. GF items listed on menu, and they can accomodate some items to be GF. Had the salmon salad (delicious) and bites of hubby's filet mignon. Roasted potatoes with chipotle ailoli rocked! Service was a bit slow, but well worth visit. Dogs allowed on back patio too!
