Nick's has excellent service, friendly enthusiastic staff, delicious quality food, and reasonable prices for fairly large serving sizes. Very clean sleek modern design with a lively crowd of customers which at times can make it difficult to hear dinner conversations.

The food was incredible, and the service was even better. My server in particular went above and beyond to make sure that not only could I eat there safely, but they made special modifications to make up for what I was missing.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch here today. Had never eaten at this restaurant but we walked by and decided to give it a try. Debbie was our server and she was absolutely fantastic. She helped with our questions and made a couple of suggestions (insanely yummy warm potato salad) but most important, she was a total pro. She ensured that the order was correct and even checked to see if we were happy with the potato salad (YES!). The vibe was exceptional and the food was top shelf. Rest assured, Nick's will be our first stop on our next visit.

Normally our favorite local spot, but our experience last night was so disappointing. We got seats at the bar on a Wednesday night. We sat there for over 10 minutes as the bartenders and managers served those around us, including someone who had arrived after us, but they never acknowledged us. We didn't recognize any of the staff - maybe they're new (not that it should make a difference). We also overheard that the couple next to us had a problem with their meal. Nick's has always been so good about great service... I can't understand how they let this happen.

The soup was a bit salty but my server very kindly took it back and off the bill. The salmon was good and the kale quinoa salad was great. However, the star of the show was the warm butter cake. Best dessert I've had in a while. Overall, good food, great desserts, and great service

I love going to Nicks, but my partner is vegan and it’s upsetting that in 2024 they don’t have a single vegan option on their menu available. Even the veggie burger requires you to remove the bun, cheese and all the sauces to be made vegan. Why can’t you just include one vegan veggie based healthy entre?

Atmosphere was loud and fun with dim lighting.Service was on point. My Sea Bass was delicious, however, my son's fried chicken wasn't good ...not crunchy and very thin. Also, my daughter's $49 filet wasn't great either. Loved the tuna tar tar! Loved the hot wash cloths served after dinner. I'd go back!! Christian was fabulous!Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free bread and a vegetarian option.
