    Our first time back to our favorite restaurant since Chef Greg took over, and he did not disappoint. The menu is a very nice balance of some Matisse favorites with some new, wonderful creations. The staff are first rate. We will be back.

    The last time I ate at this location (pre-Nico), it was noisy, and overpriced, with mediocre food and poor service. What a delight to be at Nico’s - lovely soft music, tables placed a comfortable distance from each other to minimize the noise, excellent and pleasant service, and good food at reasonable (by today’s standards) prices. Sorry I avoided coming here before an NJPAC performance for so long!

    We came to visit friends in NJ. There were 7 of us. This restaurant was recommended by a friend. All of us loved it. When we got there we discovered there was music playing. It was fun music but very loud. They were so nice and moved us in the back so we could talk to each other. The food was fantastic. Great portions. Everyone really enjoyed the evening. Service couldn’t have been better
