It has been thrown in our faces many many times in the past that Novato does not have a soul (usually by our friends from southern Marin - you know who you are). So I am very happy to report... that based on our extensive survey.... Novato does have a soul, or at least there is a hope that it may have one soon.
During the summer months there is nothing better than to head out and enjoy the evening with a nice glass of wine and something at least small to eat. But where to go? Not even southern Marin has many places to sit outside and dine. Well now I think that we got them all beat there are several in Novato and the one most worth mentioning is Rickey's. I have always seen the neon sign from the highway announcing they have jazz by the pool... but I didn't think much of it until this Friday when I actually strolled in and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very nice intimate setting with the tables all around the pool and nice jazz band playing in the corner. We even dipped our feet in the pool to chill out. If you have not been there... you got to try it.
The other one we discovered by strolling around on the first summer evening was Portelli Rossi (used to be Kitchen). We had a nice dinner on the patio in Las Guitarras and then we just walked around and found this Patio area where until recently was an actual building. Very nice atmosphere and a great wine.
There is yet a chance that we may have a nice downtown. Oh and look at this inflatable movie screen every Friday. Go Novato!

Hey we LOVED to eat at the Garden (up the street from jack in the box)
It's Mediterranean food and they have the cutest little patio outback with lovely plants.
The food is awesome (especially the chicken marsala)
We used to eat there every week when we lived in Novato. We have even considered driving up there just for that restaurant.
