Nick's is one of my favorite restaurants! Quality of food, experience and service are amazing. Space can be a little loud, making conversations harder to have. Nonetheless, still consider Nick's a fave!

Nice restaurant. A little on the loud side but not too bad. We had a 1:00 reservation so noisy to start but quieted down as the crowd thinned out. We had a great table near the front as requested and were seated close to our reservation time. We just had appetizers and a bottle of Champagne. Nice price on Billicart Salmon 1818 Inspiration! Fried Deviled Eggs and a nice pizza recommended by our server. Shout out to manager Toni who stopped by to see how we were doing. FYI, they don't accept Apple Pay. Not a problem. Just wanted to share.
Nick's is a personal favorite. It's great for a work lunch, family dinner, special occasion, or event! Every menu item I've had is incredibly tasty and the portions are healthy!! During my most recent experience, I had a virgin mojito and it was delightful. I hope your experience at Nick's is as enjoyable as mine!

We made a reservation for 1 PM asking for a booth adjacent to the bar. By 1:20 PM, none of the six booths facing the bar had opened up. All six of the tables had paid their tabs – but continued to chat. I get this. Nick's is not responsible to shoo people out. But a 1 PM reservation is NOT a reservation at Nick's. You're requesting to start your window for waiting for a table at that time. Just understand – you may end up standing in the entryway for up to 45 minutes waiting for previous diners to give up their table. We sat upstairs instead. The table was small. The seats were uncomfortable. I'll never sit up there again. My only hope for lunch at Nick's down the road is to book something after 2 PM. The food is stellar. The staff is fantastic. But the wait time is seriously challenging.

The food was okay, good but not great. Pork back ribs and fried chicken got great reviews. Maybe good for average Joe's, if you are a connoisseur of these dishes, lower your expectations to 3 stars. Services was on point, atmosphere is okay, good not great. Upstairs sucks, they tried to stick us Upstairs, a no go for me. I would have left than stay and eat Upstairs. Nothing wrong with the space, just not a good choice. My wife likes atmosphere and services over good food. So there are my dilemmas

Nice birthday lunch with friends on Saturday. Their first visit to Nick's. Food was yummy and we shared the butter cake for dessert. Although service was polite and professional, felt rushed by multiple check ins throughout meal to exit. Oh well.

The food is always nicely prepared and delicious. The asparagus fries are a great appetizer and all the main courses are excellent. Reservations are a must. Giovanni is a great server.

Great ambiance, two stories, super cool vibes. The asparagus fries were ok but with the included ranch they were great. My wife loved the California salad, it was super well tossed. I got the fried chicken: a simple straight forward dish but they absolutely nailed it. The butter cake was incredible. Service was attentive, we went for our anniversary and they included a nice little card from all our servers. The value was clipped, for the quality it was reasonably priced. Highly recommended, will be back!

Our server Riki was very attentive. The food from the starters to the dessert was all excellent. Our table had filets, fried chicken, bistro salad, corn chowder, fried zucchini, roasted artichokes and a hot fudge sundae. It's was all fabulous and cooked to perfection. Our only issue was the front desk young man wanted to sit us at the small table next to his desk even though it was 5:00 and all the tables were open in the front section and all the booths except one were open next to the bar. Why not ask us where we want to sit rather than make us feel less than? When I said we'd like a booth he quickly sat us there. Just an observation.

We had to wait for our table since the people ahead of us were enjoying their time (lol) but they took good care of us and comped our appetizers for the wait which was unexpected. Drinks and food as always was wonderful. This place is my go to for sea bass. And their butter cake, yummmm.
Food was terrific, sea bass is always tender and the light crust on one side makes it delicious. The asparagus fries were very hot and almost too many to share with a second person. Baked potato more than enough to share with a second person. Service last night was slow, appeared they were short staff. Waiter disappeared for extended periods, took awhile for a second glass of wine, forgot the hot towels at the end of the meal, not up to the usual standard. Still enjoyed the evening and will return.

This is a beautiful restaurant with not great food but a excellent service. We had a fantastic lunch with new friends from Ireland, and they really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back again.

Enjoyed a very nice dinner. Ordered the Bistro Plate, which for me was just right in the amount of food. Also ordered was the meatloaf, which was also very good. Ordered a black and blue mojito, which was delicious. Had 2 of those. Servers were very friendly and service was pretty fast. Would definitely go back to dry different dishes.

Every time we visit we leave extremely happy. The quality of food, portion size, and flavor is a absolutely the best. I love their salads, soups, and of course their signature dessert the butter cake. Definitely coming back.

Before last night, I had only dined at Nick's once. When I was considering where to take my dear friend for a birthday dinner, I thought Nick's would be a good choice. Since my guests and I had a marvelous time, I felt compelled to post a review. We were greeted with eye contact, a smile, and audible hellos from each and every employee we passed on our way upstairs to our table. Once seated, our server, Adam Trujillo (and everyone assisting him) was warm and engaging at every interaction. The manager on duty, Robert Shipley, came to our table to check in and made us feel like the most important patrons dining at the time - even though I'm confident he made all his guests feel the same. Lastly, the food and beverages were sublime, and far better than the many very "fine dining" restaurants I've patronized previously over the years. The four of us in my party came to the swift realization that Nick's has catapulted to being one of our favorite dining spots. Can't wait to return again!!
