    We celebrated our friends' birthday and it couldn't have been nicer. Our excellent waitress, Natalie, was so patient while we caught up on each others' lives and was there when we needed her to be. Our food was delicious, and we're definitely going back! (We did get a complimentary piece of cake, as well. And Natalie wouldn't sing. Another bonus! )

    The wait staff and their service is exceptional. It was a busy day. Even though she were not seated in her section Sarah made sure to take our drink and food order to keep things running smoothly. Cannot say enough GREAT things about her!!

    As always, everything was great! We had deviled eggs and chicken sandwich both were delicious. (I still don’t understand why they wouldn’t cut it in half instead of in thirds.) But, other than that, we will continue to go to Nick’s for a great meal.

    Excellent ! We went with a couple of friends , who had never been in the restaurant. They were thinking of taking the leftovers home when we finished , but we all of us were so pleased with each of our entrees, we had no food to take home ! Prime rib dip was delicious! The best in San Diego. My pork chop , perfectly cooked and moist. I will come back soon to order again . Also a friend ordered the ribs , only bones were left! Service was perfect I give five stars to a perfect day at Nick’s

    Liked the ambiance and service. Food was more like a high end Applebees versus a quality restaurant. Menu selection was good, however, most food tasted like frozen and pre-made versus individual prepared. Sorry, we like better quality food.
