I love the food and overall ambiance, but loud guests in the booth next to our party were just plain nasty. Good luck for trying to having a conversation. The cheeseburger was supreme. Will be back soon and plan ahead for outside seating.

Always excellent food and service. Wish they would use clear ice in their cocktails - would elevate the experience.

It was my husband’s 61st Birthday and first time at Nicks. Our waitress was wonderful, the food amazing and perfectly cooked and presented and we were given a chocolate birthday cake with a candle and a b-day card from the crew! Definitely going back!!!
