We went to Nicks’s for dinner Saturday night. Food, service, ambiance all great. You can tell they really care about doing things well. We had so much fun. And everyone was so nice. Highly recommend going here. We plan to go back many times.

We celebrated two birthdays at Nick’s and Nick personally made it special. Our food, service, experience, everything was 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️s. Thanks to Nick and crew for a perfect evening. The Proffitts, Odlands and Zellers.

Stopped in for lunch after walking through the Japanese gardens. The club sandwich was perfect in every way. Everything was just done with attention. Thank you for entertaining a hungry tourist!

I've been wanting to go to Nick's since it opened and finally had the chance. Everything was wonderful from the stunning decor to the wine and the food was absolutely perfect in every dimension! Will be adding this to our regular restaurant rotation!

Hit and miss. Very good: Salmon (fresh and perfectly cooked) Good: Shrimp Cocktail, Charcuterie board. Meh: French dip (sooooo greasy ech). Ceasar (indiscernible from a Costco Ceasar). Service is very good and suitably friendly.

Oh yes! Nick's was busy today! Friday, no surprise and I usually go Tuesday- Thursday. But service was very good and the food as excellent as always! And saw many regulars besides me.

Normally I never let this bother me, but I was not impressed with the seating location, really made it feel like we weren't actually in the restaurant and were an afterthought. The food was good. The service was initially way too fast, to the point where they had taken away our entrees within 30 minutes of being sat, making us feel like we were being ushered out of our seats. Then it was way too slow, as it took over an hour to order dessert and pay the bill. Lots of mixed feelings about that place.

I walked in and thought it was going to be unreasonably expensive based on the decor and the location. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the sandwiches were pretty reasonably priced and they were good portions. I'd recommend. I'd come back. I had the French dip and it was tasty tasty.

Very yummy food and feels like a community based restaurant! Atmosphere is great and we always have a great time when we visit! Would recommend to anyone and have options for people with dietary restrictions (some people in our group are vegetarian and vegan). Great restaurant, great people, and great food!!
Wonderful restaurant! Very welcoming, great ambiance, and delicious food! Will be coming back again.

Our company had a celebration at Nick's on Madison. It was perfect for our party of 11. The atmosphere was so warm and inviting. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. I enjoyed my Bee's Knees cocktails, each of the beautifully presented appetizers, my duck breast as my main dish, and the flourless brownie Sunday (to die for). Everyone in the group seemed to love their various main dishes and salads.Dietary restrictions: Delicious options for me on my grain free diet.

This is a sweet special spot. Well run beautiful space. A blend of contemporary but relaxed. Great food. The night we went It was fairly quiet. Being over 50 now I appreciate being able to have a conversation (!) Highly recommend this spot.

Another excellent meal and time at Nick's. I'm a soup fan any the potato leek didn't disappoint. I'm early so get the happy hour Caesar and the duck breast. So tasty! And saw several of the other regulars. Always recommended!
