    Had a reservation. There were three available table for my party of 2. Didn’t like where he sat us and asked for another table. Since the 2 other tables of two were side by side he said he needed those for a party of 4 he had coming in. Not 10 minutes later he sat a party of two at one of the tables. Didn’t matter how good the food was. I hated the table and it was cold because you felt the wind every time the door opened. I HATED the guy lied (and I knew he was from the get go). I wouldn’t return.

    Excellent food and service. Food was hot and nicely seasoned. Shrimp stuffed with crabmeat was outstanding. Portion size was plentiful. Red sangria was delicious. My wife and I have dined here before. Quality of both food and service remains consistent. For a satisfying dining experience, I highly recommend Nick's Bistro.

    nick's has gone down in quality. the service was amazing, and the chef even came out to ask if we liked the food. however, the food was not up to par. I got the squid ink linguini and it was just so bland and not good at all. I hope this was a one off situation but even my dad's food was just so bland, he got the lamb special. would likely not come back here again, so sad, used to be one of our favorites.

    The staff is lovely, very accommodating and cheerful. Menu was a little limited, and the food was very good quality but not excellent spanakopita which two of us had as an entrée was dense with soft pastry shell, we felt the pastry should’ve been light crispy and flaky, which it was not. It tasted as if it was reheated from frozen because the wait staff was so nice and the atmosphere was lovely. We will go back and try it again could’ve just been a hot summer day and the kitchen was a little off.

    Yes, I would definitely recommend Nick's. This visit, and the many others I've had, have all been great. Food is delicious, and it is served in an attractive manner. Service is efficient and polite. For the first time this Sunday, a very busy day at Nick's, I got to see the owner/manager in action. He was dynamic and efficient. People got seated; food got served; the place got cleaned up! It was a pleasure to take my family here for the first time. In the past, I've gone with friends, so I was confident things would be fine!

    Wonderful experience at Nicks Bistro. Was able to make a reservation for 12 people on Sunday AM for Sunday afternoon brunch. Restaurant was full and we were accommodated perfectly for our group in their beautiful outdoor area. Service was excellent. Food was ordered off of the regular menu and brunch menu. Everything from traditional Greek specialties to omelets were fantastic. Would highly recommend.

    The owners are the heart and soul of this place. They know their customers, and obviously have a faithful following. They were friendly, welcoming, accomodating and fun. But none of us thought anything much of the food (and we each had something different), which was a big disappointment after reading the reviews, and the 4.9 rating on Yelp.

    Service was excellent. Beet salad was delicious and large enough for the two of us. Branzino was very good, though they only had the large sizes. Lamb shank was good, though they were out of Orzo. Really? It was good with rice pilaf, though. Prices are a bit high, but most portions were large. We will return.
