    We went before a hockey game and were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. Nicely decorated with a pleasant ambiance. Casey, our incredible server, came over right away and told us about the great happy hour specials, including many menu items at 50% off as well as cocktails and wine. Casey gave us many good suggestions and brought out our food in a timing and logical manner. She checked on us several times and we never felt rushed. Good food at reasonable prices with a great server. Highly recommend!

    We booked a reservation for six people on Christmas Eve. It was our first time dining at Nicola. The special Christmas Eve menu offered a wonderful range of options, and we all found several things to enjoy across the courses. Our server was spectacular - she was helpful, responsive, and kind. The food and drinks came out quickly and at the perfect temperature. Everything was delicious. I had spent a lot of time choosing a restaurant for Christmas Eve. I wanted to go somewhere that took this occasion seriously and would make it feel special for our family. Nicola surpassed my greatest expectations, and I felt like we were truly able to enjoy this dinner together in a restaurant that understood the meaning of the day. There was not a single flaw. We will definitely return!

    Loved everything about our dinner at FYR. Great open fire kitchen with Argentina parrilla. Food was amazing, from starter to dessert. Favorites if the night was skirt steak and the side of grilled carrots. The gnocchi was also delicious. The place is big and spacious with a nice setting of tables around the room making the ambiance super nice for every occasion ( large or small parties). Want to go back to try lunch menu too.
