Every Gyro I've ever eaten before the Gyro at Cafe Nova was an imposter! That was my wife's…read morecomment after we visited Cafe Nova for the first time. The Salmon Bruschetta appetizer was equally delicious. I first heard of this restaurant after a foodie group I belong to asked where to find the best Gyro, and this name popped up. They were not wrong. The smaller restaurant is nice inside but even nicer when you can dine on their beautiful patio and when the weather is cooperating. I was originally reluctant to try their fries, afraid that the oregano would be too intense, but in fact it was just right to round out the Greek style meal. I dinned there a second time and while I should have tried something different, I had the exact same meal and it was equally memorable. Of course the staff treats you like family which adds to the great experience. One time, the restaurant was so busy, we got turned away because they said the kitchen staff could not handle any more customers. Parking, being limited was also a challenge. While disappointing, I guess it is better to be on top of things than not be able to properly serve your customers. Anyway, Jovick Brothers smash burgers was close by and happy to serve those wonderfully cooked smash burgers to my family. More on that in another review. Again, Cafe Nova, when you can get in, never disappoints. If you love a Gyro, this is the spot in St. Louis!

Everything was amazing and I would love to come back and try some new things like the delicious looking baked goods.

I had the special sandwich which was meatloaf wrapped in bacon with an egg which was tasty. the biscuits and gravy was huge and tasty. The BLATE SANDWICH on grilled sourdough was also good. I enjoy russell's better at dinner. Brunch (or at least today's ) is too noisy and crazy.

For the first time in forever we got there during happy hour so what do we do? Save money? No, we order two appetizers instead of one! We always get the wings, and we got fried pickles that were part of the $5 appetizer choices, you can choose from several and alcohol specials, too. I always do build your own, you fill out the sheet from a pad on the table choosing your ingredients by category. I usually get the beef but last couple times I have ordered chicken but got similar toppings, Spinach, tomato, chipotle aioli, and fried jalapenos on toasted sourdough. Love it! For a small upcharge you can get a salad as a side, I like to do that because I can steal a few of the delicious fries from my companions. The salad is generous, spring mix, red onion, tomato, croutons. It comes with shaved parmesan, but I ask them to leave that off. The champagne vinaigrette is perfect. This is my favorite burger place, but I like that I can get a great chicken sandwich!

The hibachi chicken I ordered was cooked perfectly and tasted alright but I didn't care for the sauce that it came with and the salad I ordered was confusing because it came in two containers one big and one smaller.

Yes... but it wouldn't be my first choice. I wish I could give them 3.5 stars.
