| - Based on the positive reviews, I was surprised Nova was not busier. We visited on a Thursday around 5:45 and were the only people there, so we got a great table on the patio, overlooking West 6th St. The best part of it all was that it was happy hour, meaning that all martinis were $6 (normally $7-9) and appetizers were half off. We were planning on getting drinks and appetizers anyway, so it was a great bonus.
My martini and my bf's manhattan were excellent. We started with a sampler of the empanadas, which was one of each kind: spinach, beef, and chicken. Especially at the happy hour price of $3, these were amazing and are a must-have. The bf liked spinach best but I liked the chicken the best. For our main courses, I had a portobella grill sandwich and my bf had a steak. Both were excellent and were served with soft and flavorful pommes frites. The entrees were reasonably priced as well, $12 and $17 I believe.
To say I would return is almost an understatement, as we returned the next day to grab another happy hour martini after having dinner nearby. The happy hour runs until 8, so don't miss that. Service was friendly. This is definitely the kind of place I would insist someone visit when in Cleveland.
