LA｜Novikov

If you're craving a bold, vibrant dining experience, Novikov definitely delivers on ambiance and flavor! We tried a mix of dishes—some absolute hits, and one notable miss. 🐟 Bluefin Tuna Tartare – Highly recommend! Fresh, finely diced tuna with delicate seasoning and a perfect hint of citrus. A refreshing and elegant start. 🐚 Wild Scallops – Sadly, a skip. They were slightly overcooked and lacked the sweet, buttery tenderness we hoped for. 🦐 Charbroiled Langoustines – Pretty good! Smoky, succulent, and paired well with a light herb dressing. 🍝 Spaghetti with Clams – Solid choice. Al dente pasta with plump clams in a savory white wine sauce—simple but satisfying. 🍧 Novikov Cigar Box – A must-try dessert! Dramatically presented in a "cigar box," it’s a rich chocolate creation with surprising textures and a touch of theater. 🍸 Codigo de Pasion – Delicious cocktail! Smooth, floral, and not too sweet—perfectly balanced. The total came to $400+ for two, including tip—definitely a splurge, but the lively atmosphere, attentive service, and standout dishes made it a memorable night. Would return for the tuna tartare and that incredible dessert alone! 💸✨ #FoodDiary #EatPretty #LAEats #NovikovLA #LuxuryDining #FoodAndDrink #FineDiningLA
