I went there by my friend's recommendation, we waited 40min and sin it was almost like an hour, when I went to check how long was til we could seat, they told me another 45min, and I think the girl saw my face and set something up inmediatly, we waited like 10min til we got a server, then 30min waited for our food, it was busy but... still saw that other people who came after got their food first, when we got our food it was cold...very disappointed, the burguer was blend and cold, my husbands chicken not really good.....I guess the only good thing was the dessert which came out in 5min. Our server barely asked us how was our food... I doubt I would ever come back ...very overpriced too for what we got.

The view is the same, that gets 5 stars. Unfortunately the service and food are the same as the previous owners in their last year there and that gets 1 star. Both a salad with chicken and tuna dinner were extremely salty as if they were trying to hide something, it made no sense. Our server wasn’t into her job at all and the general mood of the other staff showed that the moral is extremely low there. The mediocre attitude of the welcoming staff and server was a reflection of the diner food that we were served. We won’t be coming back again unless it changes hands and its name. Same poor service and food as previous owners. The view is outstanding!Update: Thank you for the same rubber stamp reply that you give all of the customers that you have treated poorly.

Location is beautiful. I ordered the fish and chips and the Portuguese appetizer. I feel the portions and quality wasn't what I expected for the price. The fish and chips I could have bought at McDonald's. 2 drinks, 2 plates about $100.. Not satisfied.

We came to Nicky’s on the bay for years!our kids growing up would pick this place for there birthday dinners, we had countless date nights here, work gatherings, it was our go to spot. This was the first time we came this year. It went completely downhill,like nose dived downhill. the service was so bad our waitress had such an attitude, the food was horrible, the place looks dirty run down. The bathrooms filthy. The only good thing is the view. Don’t waste your money there are so many other restaurants on the water.

Went for Sunday brunch with five friends. We decided on indoor seating but because of the structure of the restaurant, it was the next best thing to being outdoors. Food was delicious; bottomless mimosas were flowing and a good time was had by all! This was my first time eating there and I will definitely go back!

Beautiful view but the food is not edible. The hummus was way too salty and the mussels sandy. Service was excellent.

We took my cousin there for his b'day and we all loved it (AGAIN!). Food was very good and our waitress, Lisa, was an absolute gem. Always a little anxious when we bring “newbies” to a restaurant but Nicky's delivered with 5 stars. Salmon, linguine with clams and the lobster roll were top shelf.

Beware of the broken plastic chairs they have at the tables. Absolutely ruined my limited edition shirt due to a huge crack in the middle on the backrest of the chair. I mentioned it to the waitress, and she giggled. I tried calling the manager several times and left a voice mail to alert them of this, and no call back. I wasn't asking for my shirt to be replaced just to make the manager aware of the situation. $30+ for a breakfast entree..... there shouldn't be broken chairs that can cause your clothes to be pulled and ripped. SMHOther than that, the service & food were excellent.

I haven't been to Nicky's in a few years, but the food was always fantastic. Not so much anymore, now basically no fresh seafood for a place on the water. 1 star is probably to high of a rating. Must have changed owner, will never come here again.

This was our first time at Nicky's and I was very pleased by the food, the ambiance but especially our waitress Bridget. She was excellent and very pleasant. We would definitely go back.
