Fantastic experience. The food was amazing and the service was great. Highly recommend. We went with a large party (13) so there was a wait but it was definitely worth it. If I had to pick one negative it would be that you have to go through the cigar bar to get to the restroom and I'm highly allergic to smoke. Got eggplant Parmesan and triple chocolate cheesecake.

WARNING: The bar is NOT smoke free. Be warned when reserving the bar side! We learned this the hard way and the smell of cigars was quite overwhelming. Service was a little bit slow however this may have been due to us sitting in the cigar lounge side. But I’m giving it a 5/5 because the food was SO worth it. We had a feast and tried some of everything including the ahi tuna, lamb lollipops, bone in ribeye, Napoli pasta, beef stroganoff, crab cakes, mashed potatoes and sweet potato fries. Out of all of this food our favorites were the steak and the crab cakes! The crab cakes are a definite must try here and they can be added onto any entree for $12. We enjoyed every last bite here. Trent was an amazing waiter, very friendly and personable! The restaurant manager Tom came by our table and introduced himself to us. The staff here were over the top friendly. Our only complaint was the overwhelming smell of cigar smoke however next time we will be making reservations more than a day in advance. You NEED a reservation to eat here! Call way in advance, it’s a very popular place. Overall this restaurant is pricey but 100% worth it for the unique taste and quality.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and most of the food.’, but service was very slow. The pasta was delicious, but my husband’s scallops were a little overcooked. We had the fried green tomatoes with crab meat on top for an appetizer. The tomatoes were excellent, but there was only a little crab on them, so the crab seemed superfluous. My wedge salad was delicious and they modified it for me since I’m not a fan of bleu cheese. My husband’s caesar salad was average. The presentation of the food was very pretty. The buttery chardonnay paired well with the seafood, but they forgot to bring my husband’s wine and once they realized the oversight, it took about 10 minutes to get it.

My husband & I came here to celebrate my birthday. It was our first time and it did not disappoint. Every table was set with candle light, glassware for: water, white wine, and red wine, linen napkins & table cloths. Glasses that will not be used are removed from the table. I highly recommend making a reservation as many, if not all, of the tables were clearly reserved to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries. The waitstaff has no desire to “turn & burn” tables like you’d see at many other restaurants. At Nick’s you are encouraged to sit back and savor your meal. No part of your meal will be rushed in any way. I had the Veal Parmesan with sun dried tomato risotto. It was a very generous portion. My husband had the Beef Wellington, which was the evening’s special, with grilled asparagus. Everything was delicious. We will certainly be back! A final note, card payments incur a processing fee. If you pay with cash you avoid that fee.

This place is amazing from the ambience to the food! I really enjoy being able to smoke a nice cigar in the bistro and the people I met gave it a community vibe. Can’t wait to visit again!

Came here for the first time for an anniversary dinner and all i can say is Top Tier service and food. The drinks were stout and made right. The ribeye was cooked to perfection. I was so ready to eat it i almost forgot to take a photo! Definitely will be back!

Our family had an excellent dining experience at Nick's. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food and service were definitely at 5-star level. We had the meatballs for appetizers, caprese salad before our meal and we all ordered different cuts of steak for the main course. All aspects were outstanding. We definitely plan to go back.

First time in a long time that I’m eating a restaurant with 5 stars. Laurie was a sweet hostess who escorted us to our table. The water-waiter was very attentive and made sure we always had water. Joey was an excellent server. And the food was great. It was an excellent anniversary dinner and I can’t wait to come back!
