    We are huge Nicola fans. We have booked many special occasions for the last 10 years. On 2/16 we took good friends that had not experienced Nicola and were extremely disappointed. The menu was greatly reduced for Valentine’s Day and we were not made aware when making the reservation. Price was increased per dish and favorites were not available. In fact, I had to order calamari as my entree as server was unable to accommodate my needs with reduced menu. Caesar salad was subpar with the end/core of the lettuce included with dressing glopped on the center. I think Nicola could have done better.
