Novus at Barnwell

Had a lunch date with my Bride. This restaurant has a pleasant scenic view of the waterfront and a modest interior with what seems to be a friendly and inviting atmosphere. Wait staff were pleasant and amiable as such. We dined on calamari with pesto and a mayo dressing and Spicy Fish Cakes with snow pea shoots for an entrée. For our main Scotch Filet steak with roast pumkin and potato and a lamb shank with Tzatziki dressing and roast pumkin. I highly recommend all dishes. Overall everything was decent, flavors average. Our only complaints were that the «Spicy» Fish Cake wasn’t spicy much less even fishy. The dessert was biscotti with Mascarpone, in which the Mascarpone exceeded expectations… however, the biscotti was a bit too hard. A jackhammer would have outlived its usefulness trying to break it. The second dessert was Banoffiee Pie. Very sickly sweet, but nontheless delicious. Diabetics consider this a warning… Overall, a pleasant experience. Wouldn’t mind eating there again.

Here for lunch on a voucher, daytime view gorgeous on a fine day as is … very courteous service, relaxing, tender tasty shank, had deconstructed berry tart (in a glass), now a cuppacino.. overall lovely, tasty experience here.

We were on a voucher tonight so we thought we had a limited menu. It turned out that we had a full menu and the voucher was good value. The four of us chose different entrée and main. Service and food were good. Not sure that I would pay full price as the «all mains served with potato and vegetables» was really a slice of potato and a slice of carrot. The place was pretty busy too. This restaurant is part of the clubhouse for Barnwell Park Golf Course and this management have been there since September. They have a small carpark but you can park in the street.
