    We love Nick’s but this was not a good experience. Our server disappeared for over 30 minutes so we didn’t get what we needed. Very disappointing as we were celebrating with our adult kids and had talked up the place so we were quite embarrassed.

    I always have a good experience at Nick’s on 2nd and this visit didn’t disappoint. Our server was friendly despite being teased by my spouse. Our lunch was good as well as our cocktails. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Recommended by a friend this place did not disappoint. Made reservations and thankfully so because it was packed for hours. The food is divine. The non alcoholic beverages were even delicious - try the seasonal drinks and dessert. The whiskey dessert was to die for.

    We had a great experience. That kale salad and fish sandwich were to die for. We sat out on the patio. The service was excellent. I wish I remembered our waiters' names—one was training the other. They were fun and efficient and should be complimented. They went above and beyond. Please let them know we appreciated them.

    We always have a good meal at Nick’s. The restaurant is very busy but the waitstaff are friendly and accommodating. My husband has a food allergy that makes ordering challenging but they are very conscientious about avoiding his allergens. It is loud but very pleasant.

    Love the food quality, non-alcohol drinks and exceptional service. It does get loud when it’s busy—but so worth it! Tonight we had ribs.
