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.
