Overall a good experience. However, appetizers came out fast and furious. We were feeling rushed until we asked them to slow things down for us (it wasn't that crowded). The orders were brought out incomplete or entirely wrong. Changes were handled quickly and without drama. After the chaos cleared dinner was tasty and the evening was fun.

Great food selection, but the prices went up, though to be expected during these times. Although it took longer than expected for our food to come, our drinks were always refilled and we were always checked on. Great service.

Beautiful warm evening required a late dinner outside, and Nick's Bistro is a regular fallback; we have eaten here countless times. Dishes are always well prepared, service attentive but not overbearing, allowing leisurely dining. And their outside space is large and allows for diners to be spread out for a little more privacy. If you want good Mediterranean dishes, you should stop by.
