About Nick's on State

Nick's on State is a well-regarded restaurant in Carlsbad, known for its delicious food, excellent cocktails, and commendable service.

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.

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.

Amazing food and service. Totally worth the price and pricing was not bad. We had 2 appetizers, two cocktails, two entrees, two desserts for $250 including tip. I had the sea bass and it was the best cooked fish I have ever had in my life!
It was our first time and it didn't disappoint. The food was amazing and the butter cake was divine.
We arrived 15 minutes early to reservation but the staff sat us right away- Thank you. Our server, Alexis, was very friendly, prompt, attentive. I definitely recommend the deviled eggs as an app. The blackened fish sandwich was very good. All of the dishes served to our group were delicious- no complaints. Prices are very reasonable. We'll return!
