Friendly, while still inexperienced, servers and a modern atmosphere that still manages to feel cozy due to low lighting. The empanada appetizer is a must have and only $6. The pastry is light and crispy and the filling is a tasty mixture of either chicken, spinach or beef with a traditional Argentinean mix of herbs. We tried the chicken and the spinach versions. The chicken was our favorite. Delicious! The Nova Picada appetizer was a disappointment. A handful of bland cheese cubes tasted store-bought, next to OK salami, cured bacon and 3 toasted slices of baguette, was not worth the $10. Skip that one. For entrees, we tried the Florida snapper and the grilled skirt steak entrees, each under $20. Both were cooked perfectly and served with either mashed potatoes (Mmmm garlic) or deliciously seasoned fries and a side of tasty vegetables. Marta, the Argentinean owner-chef came out to greet us. She was as humble and charming as the food itself. Nova is definitely worth trying. The menu could be more bold, in fact we wish they would be more adventurous with the combinations, but the food was overall delicious and the prices very reasonable."^^ .
