    Lovely lunch. Service excellent. Birthday of my guest quietly noted plus slice of free delicious cake. I'm never disappointed here.

    The staff made our visit to Nova Bistro absolutely amazing. A big thank you to Masebonge our waiter, who was patient and very attentive to all our needs. He went above and beyond the duty required of him. He gave us excellent service. He is an asset to the restaurant. Luke the manager whom we have known for many years was absolutely outstanding. So pleasant and polite. Thank you to Holly who helped us change our booking time and welcomed us so charmingly. The food was delicious and the artistic ambiance is entertaining. A world class experience coming to The Houghton Hotel and Nova Bistro. You can all be so proud of yourselves.
