    Great spot, I would recommend for adults. Great drinks and food. The only complaint I have is their menu. They have been selling the same things for a decade- unusual for a restaurant of this level. Everything is good, and they rotate out a few menu items seasonally, but it would be nice to see a few refreshes. I've enjoyed many lunches here since the day they opened and will return.

    Fantastic and will go again. We both had the sea bass which was cooked to perfection. The small menu shows the chef’s effort to yield a master craft (do a few things and do them well). For desert, we had lemon cake which was not too sweet - large slice. The waitress was incredibly pleasant. Only regret is that I didn’t leave a large enough tip (a miscalculation on my part).

    Our experience at Nick’s on second was amazing as always. Our reservation was right on time. Our seating was in the middle of the restaurant we were able to see and engage. Our waitress was amazing. Our food was delicious. The ambience was right on point. Everything was perfect for our after church lunch. Stephen and Dana Gwin
