I had an amazing dinner experience with my friends. Our server, Yasin, was incredibly helpful and friendly as we tried to figure out what to eat! We started with a few appetizers and drinks before the main feast, and everything was absolutely delicious. Yasin frequently checked on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and asked if we needed anything. It's a 10 outta 10! Can't wait to go there again.

The food here is always great. I had the lamb and sea (lamb chops and shrimp) which was one of the specials. The lamb was cooked just as I asked (medium) and was a nice portion, along with 5 or 6 shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. I also had the mussels for an appetizer, some of the best I have had. Everyone at our table was too full for dessert. In fact, 3 out of the 5 of us took home leftovers. Nick’s Bistro remains one of our favorite restaurants both for the food and the value, as well as the friendly, attentive wait staff.
