Time ago they used to serve bigger portion but now they reduce them

Simple Foods done right. Add the petite Bistro salad and the fried chicken. The buttermilk fried chicken is literally moist crunchy and delicious. Top it off with a buttermilk biscuit I got a just the way it should be dense moist and flaky. A must try one in Long beach.

Went to a reserved dinner tonite w/ husband. Nick's on 2nd is one of my favorite restaurants to go, but tonight (03/18/26) was the worst experience ever!! Sever (Steven) took over 15 minutes to even greet our table, saw him again when it was time to place the order. The food took over 30 minutes to arrive to the table, my center cut filet,( was ordered med/ well) arrived fully cook, bake potatoe was cold( even with all the toppings ordered on the side) San Francisco chopping was served warm. It was so underwhelming and the staff didn't seem to care about the countless mistakes being made. Just because your establishment is full doesn't mean QUALITY is being served. Simply disappointed in a restaurant that I once bragged about. Please bring back the old food and services!!

Took a friend here who was visiting California from out of town, and I'm so pleased by the whole experience. Kasey (I really hope I spelled your name right, forgot to ask), was a fantastic waiter who not only gave great suggestions based on our preferences, but also checked on us just the right amount and was pleasant to talk to. I had what might be the best Moscow mule of my life (they muddled a little blackberry in upon request, and it was the perfect addition of tart flavor). Every dish was delicious and brought to our table with time between to enjoy each one without the next going cold. We enjoyed the downstairs dining area since it was quieter for conversation, but I passed by the upstairs lounge and that space also seemed to have a fantastic atmosphere. No notes, absolutely taking a friend there again in the future.

One word: WOW. I went Nick's for the first time in March 2026 and had a fantastic experience. The service, including our awesome server Garrett who was super friendly and had great recommendations, was impeccable. From appetizers to dessert, the food was sensational- we had the deviled eggs, meatloaf, sirloin, and the bistro plate. I would recommend all of it and can't wait to go back- the food was impressive! The inside of the restaurant was beautiful too- quite a find for 2nd street. Highly recommend!!

Love Nick's great food. We were there on a Saturday night. The only downfall is the restaurant is Extremely Loud but other than that amazing food and beautiful drinks and wonderful service

Excellent service, food and cocktails. Sea bass was great.
Great experience with impressive service and F&B options. Fun twists on classics and a really high standard in what they produce from the kitchen and bar.

Can’t go wrong, best in Long Beach. Great Salmon (ask for spinach raw not sautéed it’s oily) or secret fish off menu, have to get sourdough roll. Every salad pr sandwich or main meal will be amazing.
