Wonderful customer service in the phone when I called prior to our arrival and inside the restaurant! We brought family from New York to try Nicks restaurant. Our server Zach was great! Zach had served us before during our prior dinning experience and both occasions provided great service, checked on us often, and gave us an overall wonderful experience! The 4 appetizers that we ordered were so good! The dinner was perfect! Thank you again for another wonderful experience! We will definitely come again!

The food was good overall but the tuna tartare I ordered was not that fresh. Bits of tuna were tough. Our server was wonderful.

My girlfriends and I always sit in one of the long booths on the first floor. It’s such a great environment and we’re never told no, that “they’re reserved for larger parties”. The wait staff is ALWAYS great. Super polite, very attentive, lovely personalities. Our guy yesterday was outstanding. And the food is always superior. Absolutely delicious. As far as I’m concerned, you’re the only place in town. See you soon!! Sincerely, Cheri Ballesteros

We've decided Nick's is our go-to place for special events - anniversaries, birthdays, etc. We love the ambiance and the service is unparalleled. Everyone at Nick's seems determined to provide you with the best dining experience possible. And the food is the absolute best. We both recommend the Bistro Plate.

Food and ambience never disappoints. But no ice served with water - it’s USA not Europe and really annoyed that my friend didn’t get a little birthday attention or ice cream. I specified that on my reservation and told server when we got there. My wine glass was delivered almost immediately; wine 15 minutes later.
