My friend and I had a fantastic lunch at Nova yesterday. We were given a very friendly welcome and promptly seated at our requested table. While we were considering our menu choices we were given a delicious complimentary amuse bouche which set the scene for our superb lunchtime experience. The food was prepared and presented to a top quality standard and we were particularly impressed with the waitress's enthusiasm and knowledge of the ingredients of each dish we asked about. Value for money at lunchtime cannot be bettered locally. Moya is a very talented and creative chef supported by a superb team at front of house and in the kitchen. Thank you for an excellent meal and experience.
We go to Nova every time they change the menu since the food is always excellent, the service is very friendly and the atmosphere is a pleasure to eat in.
Great place to eat. Exellent staff and food and wine is fabulous. Highly recommended menu is very good and good anounts. Home made bread is some of the best i have eaten
I love Nova, and have done since it opened. It's such a hidden gem with outstanding quality, amazingly crafted dished and a really relaxed ambience, all of this for an incredibly reasonable price. Personally i think it's the best restaurant in Heswall and have recommended many times.
Faultless every time :) Had their lunch menu , they were superb and reasonably priced! Thank you guys and see you again soon! x x
Fantastic food, presented beautifully & tasting delicious. A warm, friendly service & a very different menu. Love the amuse bouche too! We would love the chewy meringues to be added to the menu too, please?

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service. I would definitely go back. Lots of attention to detail. Good wine list. I don't want to write any more
Fantastic food and fantastic service. We will definitely return to enjoy their extensive menu and definitely recommend Nova to friends and family . Thank you Nova
Fantastic dinner at Nova, food exceptional and presented beautifully. Home made bread and chocolates to finish the meal. Service always top notch and Jana is always welcoming. Cant wait yo go back!
We visited Nova mid week for a family meal and as usual everything was lovely. New menu but food remained excellent. Beautifully presently and tasted amazing and served by lovely friendly staff. Always a pleasure to dine at Nova.
Top notch food, excellent service. Enjoyed the canapés and interesting menu choices! Rabbit pie served with fricasse was delightful, great value will visit again, keep up the good work
Fantastic meal. Lovely staff. Not the cheapest, but good value for money. As always, an interesting menu and an excellent wine selection. I would thoroughly recommend it.
Amazing food lovely flavours great value early doors before 7pm Tue/Wed well worth trying. A little gem in Heswall perfect you must go and try it
Super evening. Our second visit to this restaurant. It was a friend's special birthday and the meal was superb and the staff attentive and patient. We would definitely go there again.
Amazing! Always a joy to eat here, the dishes never fail to excite the palette. The ambience, food, wine and the service are all excellent.
Fantastic food and exceptional service. We went for our last meal before baby arrival and had a lovely evening. We will definitely be back when the baby sitter is sorted!!
A fusion of culinary deliciousness and an artistic palette, a perfect combination. This Heswall gem never disappoints always offering a warm welcome in a contemporary and comfortable ambience.
Never disappoints. All the extra (free) touches make it even more special. Probably my fourth visit now and booked for next month too! Good service and friendly staff.
A great restaurant! The food was excellent, beautifully prepared, cooked, and presented. Staff very helpful and capable. Premises nicely laid out and decorated. Everything was timed well, and you weren't rushed for anything. Complimentary bread, lamb burgers, and chocolates went down well too. We'll be going back, definitely.
Nice welcome. Good range of foods well presented and well cooked. Early doors menu available later which was nice. Would visit again. Silly to insist on 25 word minimum review
Good but not great food looks good but lacking flavour which was a shame as we have previously had really good food on past visits
Amazing food, lovely experience and very very well priced. All these things add up to make us want to come back again and again. Perfect dining experience, as usual.
Lovely food, really nice staff. Slightly expensive but worth it. No parking outside but there's a few side roads next to it. Will go again
This restaurant is a big step up above others in the Heswall area. The imaginative cooking and presentation is exceptional. Service also first class.Could only highly recommend.
We had a delicious meal from the festive menu this Tuesday evening. My complaint is that I expected the Early Doors menu would be available as stated on the website -in fact my decision to book was based on the choices on that menu rather than the festive menu. When I asked about the early doors menu , I was told that it being December the festive menu was the only set menu available and that it said so on the website . Well if it is on the website it is very well hidden! - and I do feel it should state clearly that the early doors menu is not available in December if this is the case.
A great evening at Nova,the food and service are excellent and the early doors menu very good value. Nova is by far the best resturant in Heswall.
Excellent food and service throughout the entire meal. Staff were extremely friendly and food was delicious and made us all try new foods. I will definitely recommend Nova to everyone
My wife and I have enjoyed lunch and dinner at Nova on several occasions, sometimes with friends or family. It's a delightful restaurant. Moyo (the chef/owner) is a great chef. His dishes are always imaginative, well prepared, and beautifully presented. Nova is reasonably priced and has an excellent wine list. Service is efficient and friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending Nova.
Wonderful food and wine. Great staff. Attentive, warm and professional. Exceptional value for money for such a high quality experience. Looking forward to returning regularly.
Fantastic food, fantastic service and a lovely restaurant. The ladies working were social and welcoming and we felt like our business was wanted. Really enjoyed the evening.
Excellent food with exquisite flavours, great service, friendly ambience and a nice price too. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys eating and trying new flavours.
Exquisite food, excellent service. Not sure it can be surpassed on the Wirral. The quality and value of set meal is staggeringly good and the service always attentive
The Nova restaurant was absolutely superb, the food and service was brilliant and the canapés were to die for. The whole experience was fantastic I'll be booking again soon... Well done Nova
Just wish all restaurants were this good. The service and food were excellent. For such a high standard it isn't not overly expensive either. Highly recommended!!
A fabulous restaurant. Amazing food. The staff are a real pleasure. We are never disappointed. You must try this place you won't regret it! Can't wait to go again!
As always the meal was good. Everything came with a small twist to enhance the flavour and appearance. One of the party particularly liked the game on offer. An enjoyable evening
Food top quality and presented well. Cheeseboard is one of the best I have had. Staff pleasant and lovely ambiance. We enjoyed it so much we have booked for Christmas Day.
Lovely food well presented, very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient waitress who overheard a mention that it was our friend's birthday treat and the chef wrote a "Happy Birthday" on his sweet plate, he didn't want any fuss but was delighted by this touch. A very pleasant evening recommended to anyone.
excellent food served in an intimate but friendly atmosphere by experienced and knowledgeable staff.Meal was well paced with 'amuse bouche' taster adding a unexpected extra dimension .Good value and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Party of 5 for a quiet weekday birthday lunch celebrataion and fair to say all of use really enjoyed the food. Superb quality as normal supplemented by the 'little extras' both at the start and at the end. We will be back again!
Every dish we chose was beautifully prepared and presented. Staff were welcoming and efficient. We were able to choose a quiet corner for our dinner although the restaurant was absolutely full by the time we left. Thanks very much.
Ther are some very positive features about Nova: the room is a a very intimate one, the service is very friendly and attentive, the wine list has some very good value options and the menu is interesting. The slight negative features for us on our visit was that the gap between the first course and second course was rather too long and the dishes didn't quite live up to the promise of the menu. These are minor points relative to the overall experience, however, and we will definitely return.
This was our first visit and did not live up to its reputation. Starters were lovely but main courses were disappointing. The waitress served the incorrect sauces with the duck and steak which obviously wasn't ideal. The fish was overcooked and the steak wasn't cooked medium rare as requested. Desserts as a rule were lovely but the allspice ice cream was quite unpleasant. We will not write it off without another visit.
Nova has great food and a really nice atmosphere. Staff were very welcoming and didn't have to wait too long between courses. Location is great, right near the centre of Heswall.
Nova where highly recommended by members of my family and friends. From moment we arrived till we left the staff & service was excellent. The food was prepared cooked & served perfectly. we will highly recommend nova to anybody who wish to go for a good Quality meal.
Lovely meal, but you have to remember that the water is charged for and all vegetables are extra. Wine a bit pricey. Would go again but this time I will be aware of the extras.
Beautiful food and warm & friendly service. We stuck to the early doors menu just because it looked as good as a la Carte and it certainly was. Great value.
Excellent staff and service, great food, good value, nice surroundings. We would definitely recommend a visit, for us it was a Heswall hidden gem , even easy parking close by. Thanks for a lovely dining experience.
Slow service. After 10 minutes waiting had to ask a waitress if she would take a drink order. Under seasoned and over priced starter of crab scotch egg. Over cooked rack of lamb.
