Nick's on State Reviews
My wife and I ate dinner at Nick’s on 12/21. She had the buttermilk fried chicken w/mashed potatoes. She was disappointed that the coated chicken was served on and/or in the mashed potatoes. The chicken coating was no longer crispy as this dish is traditionally served. I had the chopping, good but nothing special. Staff dis a great job. Going back? Not sure.

Nick's on State is a well-regarded restaurant in Carlsbad, known for its delicious food, excellent cocktails, and commendable service. The menu offers a variety of options, including the savory salmon, fried chicken, Thai Chili Salad, and crispy chicken sandwich. Popular cocktails include the Jalapeño watermelon margarita, Spicy passion fruit martini, and Bloody Mary. Guests have praised the attentive service, with staff frequently checking on them and providing extra touches. Many appreciate the upscale casual feeling and the nicely chosen wine list. The prime rib dip is a must-try for returning visitors, and other dishes like cioppino, Seabass, and the panko crusted chicken piccata have also earned praise. Portions are large enough to satisfy appetites, and the restaurant can get busy, so making a reservation is recommended. Customers enjoy a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, making it a great choice for special occasions. However, some diners have suggested that the kitchen should be more mindful of salt levels in the dishes. Despite being short-staffed at times, the restaurant's team works hard to ensure good service for every table.
