    We Had delicious jumbo shrimp with Vodka sauce and Caesar salad and a wedge salad. All food was great. The assistant Manager, Anita and our servers catered to our every whim. We LOVED the live music from singer Tiffy Jane and Bobby Cressey on the keys. Perfect evening all around.

    My overall experience way beyond what I expected especially my reservation is at 9 and I was running late. The host and server accommodate our needs and the food was amazing especially the chicken parmigiana.  They had a live dj who set the ambience for a more low key intimate experience. We are surely to come by for happy hour and a live jazz band.

    My husband and I went to Nick & G's last night to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Our waiter, Andrew, was amazing, engaging, and made our entire celebration so incredible in every way. The food was delicious and the staff was over the top attentive and warm. The atmosphere is so romantic inside. We have recently walked through the tragedy of losing our 26 year old son in a car accident, so it's been difficult to celebrate any occasion. The manager at Nick & G's and Andrew went out of their way to take care of us in every, single way. Over the top, wonderful experience and we feel so blessed to have celebrated our 30th at Nick & G's. Thank you for treating us in a way that was truly above and beyond special.

    We would have rated more stars for service but there was one thing that we all noticed was a result of lack of training especially for a high end restaurant. Our server began clearing dishes when one of us was still very much enjoying her meal. That left this person the only one eating at the table. Should always wait to clear until all diners have finished.

    a reliably nice restaurant with many excellent dishes and very good service. it's usually a romantic feel although the lights were too bright on the last visit. the playlist is excellent with a good selection of straight ahead jazz. the shrimp pasta vodka sauce is not to be missed

    My husband and I chose Nick & G's to celebrate our anniversary. We dined on the outdoor patio (with heaters) and had wonderful food (salads, chilean sea bass, braised short rib) and wine. And it was topped off by a good jazz duo that plays there two nights a week. We will return.

    This was our first time eating at Nick & G's. The food was outstanding. I had scallops and my wife had chicken parmigiana. The desserts were amazing. I had red velvet cake with raspberry cheesecake ice cream and my wife had a gluten free chocolate cake. Our server, Diana, was excellent and attentive. We loved the ambience; they played nice jazz music in the background. It had just the right energy to set an upbeat mood, and we didn't have to raise our voices to converse over it. The price was good value for the money, too. We strongly recommend Nick & G's and will come back in the future.

    Arriving to a half full restaurant is never a good sign. Food was ok but the lamb and filet steak both came with the same sauce which seems a bit strange. Salads were good. Service was very good. Not overly impressed at that price point. You live and learn

I payed by Master Card. My reservation was for 6:30 for 4. Bill was $336.49. I would appreciate the discount being credited. Thank you…Jerry Hemme.

    Our waitress was attentive without hovering and assisted in pacing our dinner so we could enjoy a leisurely anniversary celebration. The calamari appetizer was more than plenty for us both and VERY tasty. My husband and I both ordered the filet, which was prepared perfectly. Live music and a the fireplace added to the ambience. I highly recommend Nick & G's for date night, celebration. or just a lovely evening!

    The food was excellent, and the ambience nice. I was annoyed with how the server tried to upsell everything from the wine to the bread to the desert. Also tried to upsell the water. I would like to go to a restaurant and relax and not feel like I’m trying to be sold.
