Even though our table was in the back corner it was very very loud for a couple of 70ish young ladies. Food always awesome, service excellent.

We love going to Nick's! From enjoyable drinks at the bar, to a terrific meal start to finish and never feeling rushed, we had a wonderful dining experience. Our server Chiara was lovely - super nice, just the right amount of attentiveness and her recommendations were spot on. Last night we were celebrating our friends' retirements and she really made it extra special. Can't wait to return!

The experience at Nicks is always wonderful! The service and food are always first class! We tried the ahi appetizer and it was amazing. The chicken piccata was SO good . And I had the bistro plate & that was so good.
