    Perfect as always. Started with the asparagus fries, which are amazing, then had soup and the fillet. Steaks are always cooked to perfection here. We had banana cream pie to end the meal. The food is always fantastic here. The service is also spot on. Francisco took great care of us, as did Diane. Two stellar servers! Summer is here, so get your reservations in early.

    We weren’t super hungry so we just got salads, but they were so fresh and delicious—I wish we would have been hungrier. Great service too.

    We dine there on a reg basis. We had a reservation and yet still waited an hour and a half. Spoke to the manager and he didn’t attempt to comp a drink, an app. Nothing

    I LOVE celebrating at Nick's! I messed up my reservation time and thought it was later than it was booked for. They were still able to seat me upon arrival. Service and food, as always, was phenomenal!
