   Excellent ambiance, attentive service, food is a bit on the expensive side. But good quality and fresh ingredients including a fairly good cocktail menu make the experience well worth it!

   I really enjoyed my dinner at Nicolas - because I was alone. First the good stuff. I had the esquites appetizer, which was excellent, and the black mole chicken, both of which were excellent. They need to come up with a new way of plating the esquites - basically there were two scoops - one of esquites and one og guacamole, dumped on the plate, which looked unappetizing. Portions were extremely generous, the chicken was well-cooked, and the mole was excellent. Service was very pleasant, and the room was lovely and decorated for the holiday. The big drawback was the noise. I eat out often and am used to noisy restaurants. Nicolas was beyond. I was okay because I was there alone, but had I been there with anyone with whom I wanted to converse, it would have been completely impossible.

   We had a great birthday dinner! The Paraiso martini was wonderfully flavorful with a kick of subtle heat on the salted rim. I had the halibut mole. The mole had amazing depth of flavor and a gentle heat. The fish was a bit overcooked and dry, but with so much delicious mole it hardly mattered. All of the sides were thoughtfully prepared and paired nicely with the entrée. My husband had the chicken enchiladas and he said they were the best that he has ever had. Since it was my birthday, they gave me a free scoop of ice cream and we also ordered a slice of the tres leches cake to share. Both were very good. Our server (Guillermo?) was attentive and friendly. We will definitively be back.

   The Halibut Tacos were outstanding along with the Shortrib Quesabirria. Loved the chips and three types of salsa and the Mexican Cobb Salad was fresh and delicious. Definitely will be back on our next trip come Spring.

   Traditional Mexican food elevated to the next level incorporating a wide range of customary ingredients in creative ways. A lot of effort was put into the decor and it shows, stunning set up. Will return when in town again.

    Ambiance is delightful and the restaurant has a very clean look. Food selections were delicious; sphere potatoes were yummy. The only suggestion I have for the restaurant is to ensure that the food is hot. My chicken enchiladas were warm at best and the sphere potato appetizer needed to be hot as well. Other selections we tired needed to be hotter as well. Overall, the food taste was delicious.
