Sadly does not live up to the other Nick’s locations in terms of ambiance, professionalism and staffing. Service was spotty, ever-changing and slow. The outside area (that makes up most seating) is very blah, overcrowded and loud. Sushi was fine. Eggs and salads were good as ever.

The only problem with Nick’s is that it’s so hard to get in! Beautiful bar, light and airy atmosphere, high energy, wonderful service, superb food at reasonable prices…. Nick’s is a gem. I would rush back tomorrow but it’s probably still got a 3 month wait

Nick's has become our family's favorite restaurant. The food is better than several popular higher priced steak or fish restaurants. The food is priced reasonably. The food is great and the presentation of the food is wonderful. They have the best Caesar salad, fish, and butter cake we have ever had. The service is amazing . It was my birthday and the manager, waiters, etc treated me as if I was a valued customer. That was the first time we had eaten at Nick's. Highly recommend Nick's. We loved the entire experience.

Kevin our server made our experience really great. His recommendations were appreciated and very good. The Kristy rice tuna solo was outstanding. The grilled sea bass was very good, thought it could have used a sauce drizzle, but enjoyed its freshness and wasn’t over cooked. Asparagus fries were also a nice twist.
