    Incredible Service at Nikki Beach! We had an amazing experience at Nikki Beach, and a huge part of that was thanks to Gabriel! From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, sociable, and genuinely kind. His great sense of humor and friendly personality made our visit even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and his positive energy was truly contagious. Gabriel is the kind of server who makes a lasting impression, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend asking for him if you visit—he’s the best!
