Steakhouses in Cottonwood

“I've been proud to be part of the Nic’s Italian Steak & Crab House family for the past eight years. What makes this place so special? It starts with the incredible food, crafted daily by our talented Chef Gerardo, using recipes created by our visionary founder, Michelle Jurisin.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow in many roles—not only as a server, but also as a trainer and sauté chef. One of my favorite experiences has been collaborating with Chef on desserts for special occasions, including preparing sweet creations for the annual Chocolate Walk in Old Town Cottonwood each December.

During the challenges of the pandemic, our founder Eric Jurisin went above and beyond to ensure that every team member was supported—none of us missed a paycheck or lost health coverage. That kind of leadership speaks volumes.

Restaurant work isn’t always easy, but I still find real joy in it. Now, with our new owners Andrea and Ryan Pedersen, that same family spirit lives on. They genuinely care about both our guests and our team, and they lead with respect and integrity.

I'm excited for what’s ahead and grateful to continue serving with pride at Nic’s.“
