Nick's always delivers great food at reasonable prices. My wife had the seafood cioppino with was good but it didn't have any scallops or crabs in it. The broth had a lot of cooked tomatoes. I had the meatloaf which was very good. Service was great and the sour dow bread is the best.

This is fine dining but without all of the annoying stuff. There’s plentiful parking behind the restaurant (90mins are free, just a couple dollars after), reservations are easy to get a couple days in advance, nice restaurant but not so fancy that you have to worry about what you’re wearing, food is absolutely delicious and perfectly priced (you don’t have to drop $200 on a tasting menu), and the service was as attentive as most fine dining restaurants. We spent about $75 per person with appetizers and drinks, and we felt it was worth the price. Their butter cake dessert is insane, I could eat it everyday.
Small menu but great food and drinks. This establishment is a place where you know what you’re getting every time you eat here. Highly recommend even if you’re not from Pasadena. The service is decent, the atmosphere has a cool vibe, very casual but could also be a special date night.

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at this restaurant, and there were 10 people guest in my party! Manny, the manager and Nick's team were spectacular! They were extremely nice and accommodating; the service and food was A+, as well as the private room provided to me was the best. Thank you so much Nick's team for making my birthday special, I am as pleased as can be! ?

I love all Nick’s restaurants, and Nick’s Pasadena did not disappoint. Good service, great food and cocktails. I never get dessert when I go out, but it is criminal to pass on the buttercake! It’s a must!
This was my first time at this location. I usually dine at the manhattan beach location. The bar area is bigger here, but the meatloaf must be really popular here because the last couple times I have tried to order they seem to always run out.

Visited Nick's for my birthday dinner. We were a party of 5 so they wouldn't take reservations, however our wait was less than 10 minutes. The ambiance was amazing. Lots of greenery with just the right amount of lighting. While the Menu was smaller, the options were really interesting. I chose the maple glazed meatloaf w/whipped potatoes with pearl onions and asparagus, DELISH. We also had the bacon wrapped deviled eggs for an appetizer. Some of the other dishes that were ordered were, center cut filet, a ribeye melt, and the California salad. Everyone enjoyed their food however my guest who ordered the center cut filet felt it was very small. We also had the butter cake with ice cream which was heavenly! At the end of the meal I was handed an envelope with a birthday card in it which was signed by all the staff members. So thoughtful! All in all a great experience. Prices were reasonable. Parking was ample as there is a parking lot with metered parking until 6:00 pm. Highly recommend.
Tons of choices for the whole family. From grandparents to a 10 year old, everybody was happy.
