NOVY is a Greek restaurant nestled in San Francisco’s Noe Valley. It was a calm setting, ideal for enjoying a tasty dish.

I decided to order a grilled salmon with mango salsa and horta. I have eaten salmon many times in many restaurants, but I wanted to see if NOVY had something outside of the box.

Once I had my first bite, the steaminess of the salmon immediately engulfed my palate. The crunchy outside immediately gave way to a soft and creamy inside.

When I moved to the sides, the silkiness of the horta transported me to the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and the combination of the silkiness of the horta and the tangy mango salsa was a delightful surprise.

The flavors of the dish were expertly balanced, with the sweetness of the mango salsa perfectly complementing the savory taste of the grilled salmon. The drizzled lemon added a refreshing citrus note that brought the dish to a satisfying close.

All in all, NOVY’s grilled salmon is a dish that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and unique twist on a classic seafood dish.

While it wasn’t quite perfect, earning a 4 out of 5 stars, it is definitely worth a try for any seafood lover.
