Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Arverne

Our go to for family dinners -crowd pleaser for all. Delicious menu , great service and the eggplant meatballs are the best !

The food here is always great. I had the lamb and sea (lamb chops and shrimp) which was one of the specials. The lamb was cooked just as I asked (medium) and was a nice portion, along with 5 or 6 shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. I also had the mussels for an appetizer, some of the best I have had. Everyone at our table was too full for dessert. In fact, 3 out of the 5 of us took home leftovers. Nick’s Bistro remains one of our favorite restaurants both for the food and the value, as well as the friendly, attentive wait staff.

The place was decorated adorably. Yes it was a bit cold in there but when we walked in it was warm enough and we were comfortable. There is a door in the back near the kitchen that is probably open/close so drafts might be coming from there. We went for dinner. If you’re looking for a rushed, fast-paced dining experience this is not it. My group was happy to sit, look around at the adorable decorations, converse and listen to the great holiday music. We were in no rush. As for food - think simple bar food. It’s not gourmet. Go down the block for that. As for the drinks - remember. It’s a bar … I had the campfire mule and it was a good pour! Beers on tap were all good. Hot chocolate was tasty but nothing fancy. Mrs. Claus was there and she was adorable! Letter to Santa was cute too. It’s lighthearted fun with simple food. Oh and the tater tots - we thought were plain but they came with Cheese and Bacon which was tasty but it wasn’t listed that way on the menu. Apparently that’s how Jack Frost likes them 😉

Everything was perfect and delicious!!! Everyone loved their meal! We don’t know how they prepare their chicken- but it’s grilled to perfection!!!! Love Da Nicola!!!!

Delicious food, but the AC was not working too well.
