    We had a great experience. That kale salad and fish sandwich were to die for. We sat out on the patio. The service was excellent. I wish I remembered our waiters' names—one was training the other. They were fun and efficient and should be complimented. They went above and beyond. Please let them know we appreciated them.

    Love the food quality, non-alcohol drinks and exceptional service. It does get loud when it’s busy—but so worth it! Tonight we had ribs.

    We always have a good meal at Nick’s. The restaurant is very busy but the waitstaff are friendly and accommodating. My husband has a food allergy that makes ordering challenging but they are very conscientious about avoiding his allergens. It is loud but very pleasant.

    Very good service. Prime Rib Sandwich was excellent and friends who had Fried Chicken and Petite Filet were very happy with their meals. Stephen was an excellent server and we enjoyed our meals.

    Arrived and was sat immediately on the patio which was very comfortable and not noisy. Our server Sebastian was excellent! He always approached with a smile on his face, attentive and not pushy to get our dinner order in. The manager came by to see how we were doing as well. The food was really good, had the Spinach Dip, cocktails, 1 fish and 1 filet dish. Celebrated the birthday with a great chocolate mouse cake. Wine corkage and Sebastian confirmed we were ok with that.
