Cafe Nova

Café Nova’s staff welcomes patrons through a diner-style façade and passes out a menu of classic American fare. Follow servers across a mosaic stone floor to simple tables waiting to be garnished with towers of silverware Jenga, herb-crusted pork tenderloin ($18), or Nova mac 'n' cheese―a hot helping of penne that the kitchen team douses with toasted breadcrumbs, parmesan, and cheddar ($10). White geometric chandeliers illuminate the frutti di mare, making it easier to untangle the shrimp, tilapia, and crab from the pesto-painted linguine ($18). For early noshing, join the brunch crowd, which basks in the kaleidoscopic light peeking through the stained-glass windows and lines up to build unlimited eggy edifices at the omelet bar or cozies up to a plate of shrimp and cheddar grits ($12 each).
