    It was a really nice time. I went with my partner for our anniversary and they gave us a little celebration cake, it was super cute. Our server was great and the food came pretty quick for the restaurant to be packed! Overall 10/10 would go again.

    Perfect place for a date night or a spot to hang with a small group of friends. It can get fairly loud and a little crowded due to the popularity of the place but well worth the wait and the price. Their Fried Chicken Dinner is by far my favorite dish and totally a comfort scenario on a long day

    We had a great dinner at Nick's. We always say the food is created by artists for our taste buds. A shout out to Frances our server. We had so many requests. Thank you! We had the deviled eggs. Next, we split the California salad with fried chicken on top. Oh my, the fried chicken was perfect, golden and crispy outside, juicy, and moist on the inside. Yum! My husband had the bistro special. Filet soup and kale salad combo. A family favorite. I ordered salmon with all spinach. They did not bat an eye on swapping out the mashed potatoes, which I so appreciate. I probably had a pound of perfectly sautéed spinach with almonds and garlic. My husband then finished it off with the lemon 7 layer cake, beautiful and moist! Great meal!

    I've been to this restaurant many times and overall it's very good. The last two times I've been there though it's gotten off to a slow start because it's taken an inordinate amount of time to get a cocktail like over 20 minutes from the time we ordered it otherwise it was a very good experience and my food was cooked perfectly. I recommend the Seabass. Not sure why the bar is so slow they have a regular bar and then a bar dedicated to the dining room room and they were plenty of bartenders. They need to figure that out.

    Cioppino is my favorite here - Italian seafood stew with fish, shrimp, clams, mussels, and a tasty light broth. Deliciousness As is the Chilean sea bass & salmon.
