I love this place. The service is always good and the good is delicious. Just make sure you make a reservation or you may not be able to get a table. I made my reservation on OpenTable so it was quick and easy.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nick's, and it was an exceptional experience. The environment inside is warm, comfortable, and friendly, making you feel right at home. The standout feature, however, is the patio. It offers incredible people-watching views, especially with the perfect weather we enjoyed during our visit. The service was remarkable from start to finish. Every staff member we interacted with was attentive and genuinely pleasant. As for the food and drinks, they did not disappoint. The Real Fruit Vodka Strawberry Lemonade was refreshingly delicious, striking just the right balance of flavors. For dinner, I opted for the salmon, and it was impeccably prepared. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen's skill and attention to detail. The entire meal was perfect in every way—I couldn't have made it better myself. Overall, Nick's provided an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere.

This is a great restaurant that offers an eclectic mix of food, from burgers to seafood. I ordered the ribeye sandwich, which was delicious. I also recommend ordering the French Onion soup and butter cake dessert. They have a great bar area with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is a breeze since it’s underground and relatively inexpensive.

This place is great! My family has come here occasionally for years. The staff are great! We just celebrated my sisters fifth birthday here and they were so kind to her! Since she’s pretty familiar with them she gave lots of the employees hugs, and they even all signed a card and brought her a birthday cake! Extra thanks to John for the impeccable service. And thank you to Sarah for being so sweet! The sundaes are legendary, we really ought to spend every special occasion here!

Lovely meal at Nick's, attentive and helpful waiter. Excellent prime rib dip sandwich. The wife had fillet with loaded mashed potatoes which were incredible.

Definitely prepare to wait 30-45 min on the weekends without reservations. The kale and quinoa salad is awesome. Highly recommend. One of the few restaurants in LA that I keep coming back to!

Nick’s has been a go-to spot for us when dining with family and friends, and overall, we’ve had some fantastic experiences here. The food is consistently delicious—highlights like the Fried Chicken and Thai Salad are absolute must-tries! On several visits, the service was top-notch, with waitstaff being attentive and friendly, which really added to the enjoyable atmosphere (especially when eating out with a toddler). However, there have been a few occasions where the experience fell short. During some visits, we noticed delays in taking our orders, difficulty getting the attention of the staff, and an overly loud music selection that didn’t quite fit the vibe (think nightclub vibe that made conversation challenging). These inconsistencies in service and ambiance were disappointing, especially given how much we’ve enjoyed our other visits. We’ll definitely be back to give it another try and hope the positive experiences will outweigh the negative ones.

Delicious dinner with the family. They have added sushi to the menu which my teenage daughters enjoyed. I had the ribs and they were excited. The meat falls off the bone and you get a full rack. Good wine and alcohol selection. A little pricey for dinner...at least for me. We paid $160 including tip. Has underground pay parking.
