Nick’s is consistently great. However, last night was exceptional. Our waiter, Derek, was amazing. He anticipated our every need, unobtrusively. The food was excellent as usual. I had the meatloaf and it was delicious. My friends had the Petit Plate and loved the variety. It was my birthday so we had butter cake. Yum!!

A very enjoyable experience. Service was superb and food delicious. We were there late afternoon so it was not too crowded. They also have a really nice bar. A little noisy but better than what we usually encounter at restaurants of late.

We enjoyed a wonderful girls lunch to celebrate a couple of birthdays! Our server Eric had incredible energy, knowledge, professionalism and joy! We shared a few dishes and each one was fresh and flavorful! Try the short rib taquitos, halibut tacos and Ceaser salad! We started with the complimentary homemade tortillas served with two delicious salsas and whipped honey butter. Oh and the cocktail program is outstanding. We tried three different drinks and each one was thoughtfully crafted, used fresh ingredients and were refreshing!! It’s a beautiful space and we will definitely be back. Thank you Samantha and Eric!

Was there for an afternoon with three others for a birthday celebration. The lunch price fixe menu was excellent, delicious, and at a good price point. Service was attentive and very friendly. I will return for lunch again.

Came here for a small birthday celebration. Great spot! Outstanding service. Everything we ordered was good, but the biscuits are a must-order. Also personally loved the tempura squash. Our server Amanda was attentive the whole evening and gave us great, thoughtful recommendations.
