Nica's 320Food was great! Service wasFood was great! Service was slow and it was a weekday so they weren't very busy. Fortunately we weren't in a hurry. Would have loved to sit on the patio but preferred inside to looking at the urban blight. :). The patio could be dressed up a bit to make it nicer than a slab of concrete between two buildings. However the food is good and interesting, we keep coming back. If you are there for breakfast, have a beignet!5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMyum yumLove this place - great food, great service, great environment5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMKC BrunchGreat food (varied menu), friendly service staff, décor just so so... had an unfortunate "last night's bar" smell when I first walked in; no one else noticed. Lattes and hot chocolate delicious. Omelets too. Thought the beignets were kind of dry - sister had the chocolate filled one which looked better (and she said good). Others enjoyed the Bloody Mary's. Had a good time. Not rushed.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe visited Nica's early forWe visited Nica's early for dinner due to a 7:30 curtain up the hill at the performing arts center. The menu is rather exotic, New Orleans influence in many of the dishes. Our wait person was terrific at making recommendations, explaining what things were, etc. They have a great beer list, and the appetizers were spectacular, especially the hummus. Dr. John's Risotto was quite spicy, a soft-textured jambalaya. Beignets for dessert, not as great as those in the Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter, but certainly not shabby. I look forward to returning later in the evening sometime when I imagine there's a nice ambience of relaxed people and fascinating food to explore.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWe made a reservation andWe made a reservation and our table was all set up when we arrived. The food was delicious and comforting , perfect for a cold, misty evening. One of my friends said it was the coolest atmosphere she'd seen in a restaurant in Kansas City.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time visit, great experience.First time visit, great experience. We had been advised to get the hummus small plate, and it was fantastic. Also recommend the sliders off the small plate section of the menu. Good bar options, and the salmon salad was also great. Would recommend highly!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMnever disappointedWe love having Sunday brunch here. We try something new everytime we have gone. Looking foward to trying dinner menu.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe visited Nica's on doubleWe visited Nica's on double date with friends. The food was phenomenal. I love big flavors and Nica's provided that. It was a combination of spice and sweet that wasn't overpowering, but complimented the food and let the food speak for itself. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding and a tiramisu beignet. We were not disappointed. Both were among the best of either dessert that we had collectively eaten in our lifetimes.
The service was really good. The pace was relaxed, which allowed us to slowly enjoy the experience. We highly recommend Nica's as a great spot for a date night or a night out with friends who love food in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We will be back.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFusion twistThe food was very tasty and had a bit of an unexpected twist.

And not to mention the food was and is always phenomenal! We originally had a party of 10 for that evening but quickly changed when another couple decided they could join us after all. We thought adding to our reservation could be a bit of a problem, wasn't at all. That's just the type of restaurant they are. Very accommodating! Also, as we all finished dinner my wife and i happen to notice that all the dinner plates were practically licked clean. Amazing! That says a lot right there. We will absolutely go back again and again. We've recommended Nica's to friends and family. Overall great establishment!3/9/2013 12:00:00 AM
