We had a lovely and lively dinner last night. The place was packed and had a vibrant energy level. The appetizers were delicious, the spicy feta, artichokes, tuna carpaccio and mushroom flatbread were so flavorful. We had the lamb and salmon for dinner as well. Will definitely return here!

The food here is always great. I had the lamb and sea (lamb chops and shrimp) which was one of the specials. The lamb was cooked just as I asked (medium) and was a nice portion, along with 5 or 6 shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. I also had the mussels for an appetizer, some of the best I have had. Everyone at our table was too full for dessert. In fact, 3 out of the 5 of us took home leftovers. Nick’s Bistro remains one of our favorite restaurants both for the food and the value, as well as the friendly, attentive wait staff.
