Staff were great and atmosphere was fun. Good place for a birthday or other celebration as there is a dj and live music shows. Food and drinks were good and prices were reasonable - same prices we would’ve paid at the keg for same quality food and a much better atmosphere.

Nothing short of sensational. In the heart of Playa Del Carmen, at Nicolette’s they welcome the energy of the street into the restaurant. The food was delicious, the wait staff was exceptional and experience was memorable. We only wish it had been someone’s birthday so we could experience the sparkling candles. Highly recommend.
