The menu is consistently praised, with standout dishes like the "macadamia nut crusted halibut" and the "butter cake." Though occasionally noted for being "loud," the lively ambiance is part of its charm.

    Enjoyed lunch here today and celebrated the birthday of my guest. The server Sebastian was great and attentive but let us pace our meal for conversation and celebration. The food was very good - we enjoyed the Asparagus fries - mmmm, and we both enjoyed the California salad. Two great cappuccinos and birthday cake 🎂 including a sweet birthday card wish from the staff. What a nice touch!! Will definitely return!!

    I have eaten at Nick's on Second three times in the past 3 weeks. They Never disappoint! The service is always spot on. They honor my reservation with the time I requested. The cocktails are always great and the food is top notch. Our server was terrific, as were the previous two servers. They are all trained well, and it shows.

    Nick’s is a favorite lunch spot - customers & friends alike take delight in its menu -and Sebastian does a fine job as server. The shrimp taquitos are a show-stopper, and so good. My favorite is The Bistro Plate with a Wednesday soup-special of lentil vegetable & of course, the kale salad. Nutritious and delicious. I love their lemon cake -& l- always one to go to make another’s day.

    The food was fabulous and so was the service. I have never been disappointed. When my friends come in from out of town, they always want to go to Nicks to have the roast beef sandwiches with the horseradish / sour cream sauce. The grilled red onions and the grilled Parmesan bread is stunningly good. Thank you for the great servers. We can tell this is a well run restaurant. Laguna, Dana Point, Newport Beach and Long Beach are all very consistent.

    Was recommended by my mom to try their food and it lived up to its expectations. 10/10 will be back most likely to go on a date there!! I loved the candlelight dinner vibes.

    Sunday spurge - asparagus fries & fried deviled eggs - amazingly delicious. The server, Oscar was attentive and personable. A great day and a very decadent but citrusy lemon cake. A foodie’s favorite spot.
