36 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Novato

“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!

I ate 6-7 dishes (try the scallops special off-menu), and everything was fantastic. The owner and her staff are very gracious making the dining experience even more pleasant. Go try it. You won't be disappointed.“

“Yosumi Ramen is a fantastic newer spot that genuinely surprised me in the best way. We originally stopped in for sushi, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The quality definitely exceeded expectations for a newer restaurant in the area.

The staff was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. You can tell they care about what they’re doing. The space itself is clean, modern, and comfortable…perfect for a casual lunch or an easy dinner out.

I didn’t try the ramen this time, but after seeing it come out for other tables, I’m absolutely getting it on my next visit. It looked incredible. All in all, Yosumi Ramen is definitely worth a try, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.

Highly recommend giving them a shot while they’re still a hidden gem.“

Their OG house sauce is honestly one of the best sauces I’ve ever tasted — it ties everything together perfectly. Definitely recommend trying their bowls and tacos, both were amazing. Can’t wait to come back!“

“My favorite Italian restaurant. I love their bolognese sauce. This time I had the veal canneloni and my friend had a fish entree. We split a peach salad and had tiramisu. On different visits I have had the spinach salad and beet salads which were exceptional. The only misses I have had is the flourless chocolate cake slice-way too small for the price and the calamari came out rubbery.“

“A lovely dinner at Beso. It's an unusual location, situated as it is on Hamilton base. The food is delicious, and the service was very attentive. My friend and I sat out on the deck and it was a beautiful evening.

I highly recommend the Pavlova for dessert. It's amazing!“

“Compact setting with comfortable seating at 7-8 tables. Latin soccer and entertainment news on overhead TV. Attentive service. Free salsa. Jamaica, and orchata with usual drinks and Mexican beer. I like the street tacos. Variety of Mexican ingredients to replicate a trip to Yucatan.“

“The food was good. Others looked fantastic. Chili relleno a little thick on the batter. Street tacos. Fabulous! I saw some steak and bacon wrapped prawns which looked fabulous. No full bar. Tight inside but if you can get a seat outside I much prefer it.“
