   Food is good, obviously. Everything else was bad. Despite showing up on time to a reservation, 30 minute wait. Bad table right by the kitchen, which is open like a diner. And it’s LOUD. Like a diner. Could barely hear the waiter, or each other. If you’re just coming for the food, sure. But if you’re looking for a classy, intimate experience, conversation, relaxation, ambiance, then this is not the place. This place is loud, frantic, and I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

   Overall, everything was good except for the fact that we had a table reservation for 8:30 (we arrived at 8:35) and didn’t get set until after 9:00pm.

   Had 7pm reservation. Had to wait 40 minutes to be seated. 15 minutes to be seated is acceptable… 40 minutes is unacceptable

   We had our first date night at Nick & Sam’s Steakhouse, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance was perfect for a special evening, and the service was exceptional. For our mains, I had the 16oz ribeye (medium) with mushrooms and onions, while my wife enjoyed the 10oz filet mignon (also medium) with the same toppings. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The sides were just as impressive. The Maine Lobster Mac and Cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely amazing, while the King Crab Elote was a delicious and unique twist on a classic dish. We also enjoyed two glasses of wine that paired beautifully with our meal. A huge shoutout to our server, who was a 10/10! He knew the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and made sure our experience was flawless. Overall, it was a fantastic first experience at Nick & Sam’s. The food, service, and atmosphere all made for a memorable date night. We’ll definitely be back!

   Disappointed. This used to be a great place. Dry age Sirloin was terrible. Rib Eye was much better. This was one of my favorites until last night.

   From start to finish everything was outstanding made possible by Ben and Elisabeth. We were amazed there was a live piano player that probably 90% of patrons could not hear because of the very loud noise in the restaurant. That's a waste of money!

    Nick and Sams is the steakhouse you want to take people to to impress them. The steak selection is top notch curated from a true beef purveyor. Options from prime to waygu. The king crab presentation is impressive and if you have a table of 6-7 is absolutel what you should go for as an appetizer. For us as a table of two we opted for the Crab Cake which was delightfully crusted and served with a delicious mustard aioli. The cesar salad is sharable. And honestly could have been shared by up to 4 persons. The dressing is creamy and delightful. The steak presentation made it a tough selection and if I did it again I would opt for a larger sharable cut. However we selected a filet and a center cut ribeye. Both cooked to perfect medium rare requests. Sides: King crab elote... don't skip it. Totally sharable. The potatoes au gratin left a bit to be desired as they seemed to lack a flavorful cheesiness and were just more like potatoes with a cream sauce, cheese and crust. Dessert: Our selection the chocolate molten souffle... Ridiculous. Hats off to the pattiserie... The chocolatey goodness was hard to stop eating. I could have had more rasberry accent and even fresh raspberry with. But still as is... no brainer. If you love chocolate go for it. Alcohol: I'm the only one who drinks so I went with my steakhouse go to... the smoked old fashioned. Honestly I would think a high end steak house like this would have a better selection of whiskey or choice of whiskey option for their old fashioned. There are so many better choices that makers mark. Left a bit to be desired. Might opt for wine instead next time. Overall a really fabulous experience and we definitely will be back again.
