Local review: Nova Eatery & Supper Club

Nova Eatery & Supper Club is serving supper-club dinners in downtown Fargo after reopening at 402 Broadway North in April 2025. (inforum.com) (novaeateryfargo.com) The restaurant’s own site lists eatery service Monday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., supper-club dinner Thursday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and brunch Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (novaeateryfargo.com) Nova’s downtown menu leans on the supper-club format with steaks, a relish tray, shrimp cocktail and oysters, while its online ordering page lists dishes including steak frites at $28, a Nova Smashie at $16 and a relish tray at $22. (fargomoorhead.org) (order.toasttab.com) The recent attention landed after a local video review circulated on social media, adding to a run of Fargo-area coverage that has tracked the restaurant’s move and relaunch over the past year. (x.com) (inforum.com) Nova’s return followed a shutdown at its earlier Fargo Brewing Company location. InForum reported on Oct. 21, 2024, that owners Ryan Nitschke and Nikki Berglund said the business in its “current form and location” was no longer sustainable. (inforum.com) By January 2025, Berglund was publicly defending a crowdfunding campaign tied to reopening Nova Eatery & Supper Club in downtown Fargo, describing it as rewards-based prepayment rather than a request for donations. (inforum.com) That sequence helps explain why local reviews now focus on more than plating and portion size. The restaurant is operating in a new downtown space, on a new schedule, under a revived supper-club identity that its owners spent months trying to finance and reopen. (inforum.com) (novaeateryfargo.com) For diners, the practical takeaway is simple: Nova is open now at 402 Broadway North, takes reservations for parties of one to eight on Tock, and is again pitching an “elevated” version of Midwestern comfort food in downtown Fargo.
