Nick's Pasadena

Ambrosia! We ordered the shrimp taquitos and had to get a second order! A very creative & delicious appetizer! The kids ribs were a well balanced combo of veggies & delicious meat. The guys had the sirloin + center cut = BOTH were perfectly seasoned & cooked. The lady had the blacked fish sandwich and she fully satisfied at every bite. The service was super attentive: my water was always full and empty plates were promptly removed.

This is the second time I’ve been to Nick’s, but the first time in over a decade. I came for a Christmas work dinner. We reserved a table on the second floor which was perfect for the dinner as it was more quiet. I started with a season Fig Old Fashioned which was delicious…and strong. Would recommend before it’s off the menu. I got the Center Cut Filet and opted for mashed potatoes instead of the fully loaded baked potato. The mashed potatoes were very, very average but the steak was good (though I’m starting to learn if I’m not at a steakhouse to not order a steak because it’s simply not the same) and the asparagus was good. For dessert, we tried the Lemon Cake and the Warm Butter Cake. Lemon Cake was very refreshing but the Warm Butter Cake stole the show and was easily the best thing I ate all night. I’d come back just for that. Our server was very attentive the entire night and brought out a birthday treat for one of my coworkers which was a nice gesture. All in all, a good food experience and I hope it doesn’t take another decade before I’m back.

Classic American bistro comfort food done really well. Having wanted to eat here for a some time, I oddly ended up eating at Nick’s twice in two weeks. On both occasions the service and food were top notch. The space has the vibe of old Pasadena money, just modernized. The numerous members of the staff that touch your table were all friendly yet unobtrusive. The cocktails delicious (tip, add some vodka to the berry mock-tail) and the food, though not the most exciting menu, deftly executed. Oh, and that Warm Butter Cake… possibly the most scrumptious restaurant dessert I’ve ever had (twice).

Nick’s will not disappoint! Been here several times and always excellent service from the whole staff, from being greeted to the chef and kitchen staff. They have other locations as well. I have visited the Long Beach location with the same experience. Just take a look at the food from our last visit! Stop reading this and make a reservation now. Well, after you look at the pics…lol.

Oh my goodness Renee was our sever and she was on it! Best burger I’ve ever had. Best pasta as well. Perfect for a date night wasn’t crazy expensive either. Great atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back. Also the seasoning on the fries was insane.

Everything was just okay. We were seated with our first server, Cory, he was honestly very rude with answering each of our questions and not accommodating in the slightest. Eventually, he was replaced by another server, Justin, who was very kind and very accommodating, which is one of the few reasons why this review is 3 stars instead of 1. Food was described around the table as “okay”. Center cut filet was cooked correctly, but there was nothing special about it and it honestly tasted quite bland. Another one of our guests ordered the Bistro Plate with the petite filet, which was ordered medium, and was delivered medium well, but so dry we had to ask for extra butter on the side. I will say Justin was willing to get this fixed and replaced but our guest just didn’t want to deal with the hassle of waiting for it again and inconveniencing him. Again, everything was okay, not terribly bad, but most likely won’t come back.

Atmosphere and service were top notch. In my humble opinion, the fried chicken needed some seasoning, maybe a little S&P. The chicken breast was bland, but the buttermilk coating was on point, crunchy. The best part of the meal was the spinach dip and the warm butter cake. The spinach dip was hot, garlicky, and perfectly seasoned,

We enjoyed an amazing lunch! The experience was definitely enhanced by our exceptional servers, Yareli and Kelsea! Both ensured we were well satisfied with our dining experience. Yareli even brought out samples of the soup of the day for us to try prior to ordering. The food was flavorful and delicious. The atmosphere was perfect for a personal or professional dining experience!
