   Christmas Eve this year was quiet for us, so decided to go the Nick's. We thought, "how appropriate"! I had the beef tenderloin special - To die for! Hubby had the pork chop, which he loved. This is truly a special place with wonderful food and people!

   Pleasant and efficient service from Nicky (Nikki?) . We ordered jagerschnitzel and a special - tenderloin stroganoff. Both dishes were excellent as were sides of red cabbage.

   We took my husband's mother from Germany here, and we were all blown away by the food--authentic, and elevated! My mother-in-law so enjoyed speaking her mother tongue with Sam, Devin, and Nick. We came on Thirsty Thursday (half price wine), and really enjoyed a deliciously dry and juicy bottle of Dr. Loosen sparkling riesling from Mosel. Our entrees were jägerschnitzel with spätzle, beef sauerbraten with spätzle, and beef tenderloin medallions with mustard crust, bacon fried potatoes, and bacon green beans, and an additional side of spätzle. We were blown away by the deliciousness of every component of each plate. The sauces were subtle, the meats were prepared beautifully (barely any breading, if any, on my schnitzel, which I love, love, love), everything was perfectly balanced. We all exclaimed over the spätzle, because so often the noodles are too small and too over-sautéed, and you don't get a satisfying bite. Nick's is perfectly prepared and satisfying. Portions were perfectly sized for all three of us to order dessert. We had the chocolate soufflé, apple strudel, and pflaumenkuchen (plum cake--my mother-in-law's favorite). They were all amazing. The soufflé and strudel both had a bit of crispiness on the edges that immediately melted in your mouth. The apples, raisins and cinnamon in the strudel were perfectly balanced and comforting yet exciting. So good! And my mother-in-law adored the pflaumenkuchen--perfectly unctuous and not sweet. Needless to say, this is a new favorite restaurant, and we will be back soon. P.S. Everyone was happy here; the owner, the staf, and the customers. We had fun conversations with everyone. It was just a truly lovely evening.

   We love Nick’s! Authentic / delicious German food served in a cozy family run restaurant. You can tell that they love what they do - all three entrees that we ordered were excellent.

   Tops in every way! Superb first time experience. We shared the potato pancake app and every bite was delicious and reminiscent of our heritage. The schnitzels were amazing! Sad that they are not closer to our location!

    We were disappointed that they only allowed 1 hour for our dinner and the people following us stood next to the table and stared at us. All other dining establishments in Charleston allow 1.5 hours to dine. Our Weiner schnitzel was dry and the menu limited. The bratwurst appetizer was one link for $15. Not what we were anticipating.
