    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.

    The meal was delicious. The staff were very accommodating when we needed to change our beverage. We were there for dinner- I have the cioppino and my husband had the French dip. They were equally delicious. Highly recommend

    JP was our server and provided excellent service. The food was on point. We decided to try something new; the Chilean Sea Bass was cooked to perfection and the Prime Rib Dip is always a favorite. For us, Nick’s is always a great place to relax, enjoy an exquisite meal, and be able enjoy time with family and friends

    Rich always gives us the best service! Still sad that the selection of gin’s does not include Tanqueray… That means no martinis for us. Also, still miss the warm potato salad…
