    We stayed with an appetizer approach for our first time at this restaurant and found the Fried Asparagus exceptional. Also, their Sushi Rolls were a great presentation and had a wonderful flavor. I had a Nick's Mai Tai and my wife (the driver) had a Virgin. Again, great presentation! Overall, the waiter and the energy sold this restaurant and I would strongly recommend Nick's to all. You'll have a great time!

    Nicks is one of our favorite spots. The prime rib dip sandwich and Thai salad are amazing. The cocktails never fail to impress!

    Impressive array of attractive options. Friendly professional servers who really know their menu and can speak about ingredients & preparation. The fried asparagus appetizer is not too be missed. Portions are large and beautifully presented. Great addition to the local food scene.

    Nick's at Newport Beach was just the perfect restaurant for a girls night out. The food was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The drinks were delicious and well mixed. Our server was superb, always anticipated our needs. Since it was my bestie's birthday, the staff were kind enough to celebrate her with a complimentary chocolate cake for dessert. I simply love this location.
