    It is very difficult to provide a lengthy review because one phrase sums it up. Best restaurant in town!

    Best calamari, Caeser salad bar none! Every lunch or dinner dining experience at Nikos has been a 5 star experience for taste, quality, decent & reasonably priced wine list, warm ambience, impeccable service. Definitely been a fave for years & quality has not diminished at all over time.

    Always great. We tried new items that we never try as our server sold us on it and they were outstanding. Only reason we never did before is that we love our usual so much we just never get around to it.

    Food was not as good as it used to be. Way too much garlic in the risotto, which used to be my favourite dish! Almost inedible tonight. Wonder if they have a new cook/chef. Was charged for refills on iced tea. Not the Niko’s I used to love!!
