   Great food (Scottish salmon & maple meatloaf dinners) and super service on the covered patio area. Exuberant ambiance, so it's a bit noisy, but hasn't disappointed after several visits. Highly recommend!

   I love Nicks! Great service nice servers. Disappointed in my go to Chippino . It was so watered down that is lacked the usual flavor! Are they trying to cut costs??

   Our server, Caroline, made the dining experience so much better. She’s delightful.

   It was great as usual. We are regulars. We love the Bistro Plate for weekend lunch.

   Nick’s consistently delivers delicious food and excellent service. My only complaint is that it’s very difficult to secure a reservation at a desirable time. We live locally & frequent this establishment and often attempt to secure a reservation a week in advance but the only available times are 3:30 or 8:30. We’ve been told they hold tables for walk ins. It seems to me they should release the tables to people who want to plan their visit and let the walk ins wait for a seat at the bar. This doesn’t deter us from coming but we do find it annoying since we’re frequently there and would prefer a reserved seat. Some of our favorite dishes are the chicken piccata, French onion soup (amazing), and the butter cake! I would love the wedge salad to be returned to the menu 😋 We also love the asparagus fries! Great food and great service just be prepared to wait if you don’t have a reservation.

   The food and service are always exceptional. The bar is a fun place to sit for a casual meal and the tables are lively, but set aside enough to be able to talk. I have loved everything I have ordered.

   Made reservations 2 weeks ago and requested INSIDE …. But had to be outside …tables were full inside !!!!! What is the point of notes and reservations if they are adhered to. Bit upsetting …not the first time this has happened …..

    When checking in on opentable I specified there will be more than 2 diners and that it was my husband and I 6 year wedding anniversary celebration along with a birthday celebration for my MIL. When I got the the restaurant 15 minutes later a rude guy greeted us with a next time call if you are bringing more than 2 people. I tried to call and no one answered. He then canceled my open table reservation even though we were all there. This is the only negative thing I have about this place. The greeted was terrible rude. The food my grandpa in law got a chicken pot pie and he said it was the best he ever had and he actually finished it. My MIL got the meatloaf and she also said it was the best meatloaf she's ever had. My husband for the steak and I had a piece. Cooked to perfect temp my husband request and it was full of flavor. My kids had 4 sides of fried they couldn't get enough. I had the spicy thai noodle salad. It was one of the best salads I've ever had. So much flavor it actually had alot of noodles in it. Drinks espresso martini was OK. The melie tai is the best drink on the menu. So good I had to go make it at home. Towards the end still no one said anything about our celebrations not sure if this place helps you celebrate with a free dessert or champagne for anniversary or birthday but none was offered. I will be back as I really enjoyed the food drinks and vibes. The patio is warm and beautiful. The entire place is clean. My MIL and husband used the bathroom and they both said it was extremely clean.
