Love this place. The food is just amazing. The artichoke dip is so fresh! My favorite is their Chilean Sea Bass. Will definitely be back again and again!

My reservation was mysteriously cancelled as of yesterday via open table. I know that was a false statement because I tried calling Nick's all day, Monday, trying to add an extra guest, going from 8 guests to 9. I never got through to a live person. I also did not make the reservation online via open table because of the total guest count. I called in to make the reservations by phone. I never even received a confirmation for the reservation so I'm not sure how I was able to cancel it yesterday per the hostess without any information. Terrible service.

We ordered the house made veggie burger and kale salad. I felt the food was prepared fresh and the service was good. There's a clean professional ambiance and I would return!

Ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with fries, the baby back ribs with whipped potatoes and side salad, and the shrimp taquitos. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. From the pleasant employee who took the phone order to the deliciousness of the food, no complaints whatsoever and that's pretty rare for us. This was our first time here...the first of many visits I'm sure.
Food is always excellent. The waiter and the service was far below what I have come to expect. Nicks is one of my favorite restaurants. The hostess appeared to be new and unfamiliar with the seating plan in the restaurant. We were seated in a space along the railing on the upper level where we were constantly bumped by passing patrons and wait staff. The waiter talked over me when I attempted to order my entrée in addition to a quinoa salad. Exclaiming that I could not get that with my entrée as a side. Clearly, that was not what I was asking for. Beverage glasses were never refilled. Overall, my dining experience was unpleasant.
Vibe is a 10/10, spicy thai salad was great, same with their shrimp taquitos. But, the absolute must-try is their Margherita pizza, though a bit smaller, it's absolutely amazing.
Always a great experience. The service is impeccable. Servers are accommodating when dishes need to be altered for dietary reasons. The manager came by to make sure we had everything we needed. Such a nice touch. I am in the customer service industry, so it is nice to receive such good service when I go out.

The noise was a real problem! Your review might characterize it as "energetic" but it was hard to hear what your neighbor was saying, much less the person on the other side of the table. Otherwise, it was great.

Nick's is like the Golden Hour, beach front property or listening to Kind Of Blue on a lazy Sunday morning. Feeling the effects of the present state of the world, I needed a life altering culinary experience. We looked at several restaurants in LA but the idea of deviled eggs for dinner was hard to pass. So Nick's was the pick! Walking into Nick's is like walking into a modern hotel/restaurant with a bold statement of Dine, Drink, Escape. We were seated immediately and our waitress welcomed us onboard to our fantastic voyage. The beer selection was better than most places but fell short on Amber Ales and had to settle on a nice blonde ale. We ordered the deviled eggs, the asparagus fries, and the soup of the day that happened to be the lentil soup. The asparagus fries were beautifully different, the lentil soup was deep in flavors and the deviled eggs were wickedly addictive. At this point I was certain I was coming back to Nick's very soon! For our entrees we ordered three butter milk chicken and the Picante pizza. The butter milk chicken a magnificent site and the taste was profoundly fulfilling. The Picante pizza was not the best pizza I've tasted but it was still consistently great! At this point our much needed culinary experience had been met. However, our neighbor at the table next door was celebrating with a giant slice of Lemon cake. This challenge was difficult to ignore so we ordered this 8 layered yellow created a shadow across our table. Both slices were moist, sweet and impressive! Before I left I visited the men's room and walked through an impressive space of visual decadence that added to my grand experience. Nick's most definitely provided a cease fire to all the craziness in the world, even though it only lasted a couple of hours. Nick's deserves five stars, a meteor and a blazing comet!
The service at Nick's is top-notch! We all loved our food and drinks. The service was stellar, with servers checking in with us to make sure everything was perfect. I'm so happy I chose Nick's as the place to celebrate my birthday.

Nick's Pasadena is by far the best in the chain. Ambiance, great staff and delicious food including this location has a pizza oven....you can't go wrong. In addition server Ryan is one of my favorite servers. Yes I am a regular at Nick's Pasadena!

Nick's always delivers great food at reasonable prices. My wife had the seafood cioppino with was good but it didn't have any scallops or crabs in it. The broth had a lot of cooked tomatoes. I had the meatloaf which was very good. Service was great and the sour dow bread is the best.

It was Sunday. We made reservations at 12:45. It was crowded in the restaurant. We sat at second floor. Bit squeezed than lower level. Service was great. Fast and friendly! Bit noisy since it's a full house. This is one of our favorite spots

Absolutely LOVE Nicks! My boyfriend and I often sit at the bar but last night I was meeting a friend so I reserved a booth / table for 5:30. Food and Service was great as usual but the music was so loud we were practically yelling our conversation. I don't know if it was an accident or not but it was louder than I've ever experienced. I will still come back.....but back to sitting at the bar for sure.
