"We had a great time and a wonderful service/food experience at Cafe Nuvo with a group of 14 girls for my sister's bachelorette party. The only issue was that they lost our reservatio n and we had to wait for about 45 minutes-however, they comp'd us drinks and tried to make up for it."

"Went for Valentine's Day with my boyfriend. I ordered a steak with truffle fries and arugula salad. It was good, not great though. He ordered shrimp with pasta in a creamy sauce, which I felt lacked enough flavor/salt, and wasn't a large enough portion for the price. My glass of wine took foreeeeverrr to come out, and I don't want to fault them for it having been a busy night, but the service was less than prompt. Also, we sat outside but against the wall, and when it rained it leaked through the awning onto our food, so we were at a loss there."

"First of all, the scallops appetizer is phenomenal. at first i just thought it was small, so as a joke i took tiny bites, but it was so good time slowed down around me. My meal was really good, I got the spicy shrimp pasta. I went on Valentine's day which turned out to be a rainy disaster for everyone, and the server there took really, really, really good care of my table. It also seems like a good girls' night out kind of place with a range of signature mojitos, that I did not get to try that night. I should go back."

"Pleasant, but inattentive service. Careless food prep. First attempt of their signature sea bass dish, the bass was uncooked. Really. Second attempt produced an equally ineatible rubber tire. We really wanted to like this place. Sadly, cannot recommend for any reason."
