                                                    Been there a couple times before, but last night wasn’t a great experience. I ordered the ribs and for some reason they did not have any flavor at all very bland taste even with the barbecue sauce on top of them. we love there bread basket but they don’t have any last night said there bread machine was broken couldn’t give out any bread. That was a bummer. And it was loud last night first time that it was loud we could barely hear each other talk. Might revisit them in the future in the New Year but for now we’re staying away.

                                                    Nick’s delivers consistent, amazing, California cuisine. Everything is always amazing. It’s my favorite restaurant. Tonight we celebrated a special occasion and was my sisters first visit. And she loved it. Thanks for always making it a wonderful experience!

                                                    The food was amazing. We had the shrimp taquitos, fried deviled eggs, rib eye melt and ribs. Too die for!!! The service was above and beyond. We loved our lunch experience today

                                                    Dinner was really delicious and decently priced. Hubby enjoyed a glass of wine (overpriced) and we enjoyed a shared dessert (overpriced). Benjamin was an attentive and friendly server. We were seated (although we did have a reservation) by the hostess next to traffic and the signal on the enclosed patio near the sidewalk. I was cold due to being sat next to a gap in the plastic windows and about 45 minutes into dining they figured it out as I warmed my hands by the table candle and turned on the overhead heaters (after sunset). Next time we will ask to sit in a different spot and probably skip the overpriced items. I don’t think a basic glass of wine and one dessert should exceed the cost of a dinner entree. But we will return because the food was very good as was the service!
