We had the fried asparagus and the tuna tartare, both were FABULOUS. Our entres were the halibut and blacken fish sandwich. Both were amazing! The spinach side with almonds was outstanding.

Had an informal business dinner with excellent food and service. Energy / noise level was just right to have fun and conduct business in a relaxed environment. Asparagus fries, salmon, and brussel sprouts were fan favorites of our table. Well done. I'm sure we'll be back

We have been going to Nick‘s for a long time, and our favorite item on the menu is the Petit bistro salad. I ordered the salad with ribeye steak, which has always been great in the past. However, this time there was nothing in the salad except kale and nuts, no cheese, as if they decided to leave it out. Also, the steak didn’t seem like a ribeye, was not tender, seemed more like sirloin steak. A big disappointment. I voiced our disappointment to our waiter, and he took the charge for my salad off the bill. He also brought extra cheese For the salad. We will go to Nick’s again, but we won’t order this entrée again. Their food has always been good, so this is a real disappointment. Seems like they’re trying to cut costs.
