“Love most of all is its quiet ,clean , friendly ,cozy ,country ambience . Having early breakfast or brunch there is a big treat for me, every time. It is also a perfect place for intimate get together with friends or family alike to unwind or just relax. It goes without saying , I love their menu offerings.Muy delicioso!!!“

“perfect balance of spice and flavor.

I ordered the medium heat level, which had a great kick but wasn’t overpowering. For those looking for a real challenge, they have hotter options too, but beware – it’s not for the faint of heart! The sides were a nice complement, especially the creamy mac and cheese and tangy coleslaw, which helped cool things down.

The atmosphere was casual and laid-back, making it a great spot for a quick bite with friends or a casual lunch. The staff was friendly and happy to explain the menu for first-timers. One small downside was the wait time during peak hours, but it’s worth it for fresh, made-to-order food.

Overall, if you’re a fan of hot chicken or just looking to spice up your meal, Faces Hot Chicken is the place to be. Just make sure you come prepared for the heat!

“Novato is clearly not done adding wonderful new places for couples and families to spend their time and dollars. Henhouse Record Room is the latest taproom to open up downtown and couldn’t be more welcomed. Great music, food trucks, FFX-only recipes, and plenty of dog friendly room. Right there on Grant street. Get some.“

“This coffee shop is a must-visit in Novato!
Their Tuxedo coffee, a delicious white and black chocolate mocha, is clearly a local favorite. They also boast a great selection of tasty smoothies and a large menu with plenty of breakfast options. Despite a steady line of customers, even on weekdays, service is extremely fast – both food and coffee are ready in no time! While the scrambled eggs were a bit bland and the sandwich was just okay, the exceptional drinks and speedy, yet friendly, service make this a fantastic and relaxing spot.“

“Best Italian food in town“

“Staff were all really nice. Food was excellent. The sushi is a bit on the pricier side and I'm not cool enough to be able to tell the difference between a $15+ roll and a $10 roll. The miso soup was probably the best I've ever had.“

“The delicious go-to place in novato, the food is very fresh and well thought out. The smoothies and shakes are wonderful and my favorite is the Vegetable Bowl - brown rice, a delicious sauce with finally chopped raw and fresh veggies. Updated from previous review on 2024-10-23“

“Good beer, tasty food and live music...what's not to love? Can't wait to get back in!“

“We want to thank the kitchen and wait staff for serving hot meals to the four of us. It is so rare for us that restaurant serve everyone's food hot that we want to make a special notation of thanks. As for our meals, the gluten free calamari fritti appetizer was yummy like always. The Caesar salad sans croutons was tasty and not heavy on the dressing. The special chicken Marsala was delicious. The chicken was juicy and tender. Everyone throughly enjoyed their meals. The evening was topped off with spumoni and a flourless chocolate torte.“

“Very nice restaurant with plenty of room for indoor/outdoor gatherings. The food and service was excellent. I will be returning soon! 😊“

“I’ve eaten at Tommy’s Salsa a handful of times and never been disappointed. You can tell the food is made with fresh ingredients and their salsa selection is awesome. The food always comes out fast and the staff is extremely friendly. I work in Novato twice a week and this has become a staple for my lunch breaks.“

“I had a super steak burrito on three separate occasions and throughly enjoyed the burrito every time. Top 5 burritos I've ever tried and I've tried most of them from the bay, says a lot. The meat has a nice smoky flavor and the hananero salsa was on point“

“Eclectic restaurant in the old part of Hamilton field. Inside and outside seating. Really good and fresh calamari, where you can actually taste the squid. Fish tacos are excellent, fresh fish perfectly cooked and good value. Shrimp tacos were also good. Fettuccine jambalaya had a well developed sauce with a good mix of proteins. Finished with a Snickers cheesecake and strawberry pavlova, both excellent. Service was good with very friendly staff. Only downside was the smell of the deep fat fryer, probably should have sat outside. Recommended and will return.“

“After traveling over 12 hours cross country, this turned out to be a great choice for dinner - the food was superb! I got the flautas plate (chicken version) with rice and beans and loved the lettuce, cheese, guac, tomato, and side of some sort of crunchy/vinegary slaw. The melon agua fresca was a great-tasting and refreshing beverage for this thirsty traveler. Very glad I chose to come here!“

“I had never heard of this restaurant (or been in downtown Novato) and didn't realize it had multiple locations. The entire menu sounded delicious. I got the ahi salad and was so happy with it. Staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was chill. I will absolutely be going back.“

“Great food :) and good service“
