    Nicks was great. Ribs are the best. Service was prompt but not very talkative. Would recommend it to everyone.

    Normally my review of Nicks is five star plus. Definitely my favorite restaurant however today was a different story. I had the deviled egg and bacon sandwich, which was unique and only served from 11 to 4. The sandwich tasted strange and a lot like fish and burnt bacon. I explain this to my server and her response was to ask me if I wanted them to cook it again. I told her I would just take it to go even though I did not. My sense was it was not cooked correctly or there was fish on the grill because it shouldn’t have had that flavor. Overall, Nic is incredible in every way. This particular experience though was not I’m sorry to say.

    Great place - food was more casual then fine dining but extremely flavorful. Highly recommend the sea bass and steak sandwich. All of the cocktails are excellent as is the energy.

    We love Nick’s! We went to celebrate our marriage since the last time we’ve been in California. Nick’s is always excellent. John, our server, was amazing. They celebrated with us with special touches. Thanks to John and all the staff at Nick’s, we celebrate you : )
