    Made the reservation approx two weeks prior to our dinner. The reservation was for 2 at 5:00 PM. We arrived shortly before 5:00, checked in and were seated several minutes past 5:00. Our server showed up at our table shortly after we were seated. Very friendly! Placed our order, food arrived hot and very tasty! Can't think of anything that would have been needed to make our experience any better than it was. Great restaurant, great food, great people! We are very happy to have a "Nick's" in our neighborhood finally1 Keep up the outstanding work!

    Our server, Kirby, was incredible! Great sense of humor and a wonderful personality. We’d come back again just for the service! Lunch and dessert were amazing as well.

    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!

    Had a great time. Felt a little rushed though by our waiter, even though he was a very good waiter. Jordan.

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