    We had a great dinner at Nick's. We always say the food is created by artists for our taste buds. A shout out to Frances our server. We had so many requests. Thank you! We had the deviled eggs. Next, we split the California salad with fried chicken on top. Oh my, the fried chicken was perfect, golden and crispy outside, juicy, and moist on the inside. Yum! My husband had the bistro special. Filet soup and kale salad combo. A family favorite. I ordered salmon with all spinach. They did not bat an eye on swapping out the mashed potatoes, which I so appreciate. I probably had a pound of perfectly sautéed spinach with almonds and garlic. My husband then finished it off with the lemon 7 layer cake, beautiful and moist! Great meal!

    Cioppino is my favorite here - Italian seafood stew with fish, shrimp, clams, mussels, and a tasty light broth. Deliciousness As is the Chilean sea bass & salmon.

    Nick’s is one of my favorites spots in Long Beach. Brought some golfing buddies and they absolutely loved it. Food is always great and very good service, would recommend to everyone.

    The first time there had a reservation for 4 at 8:00 pm on Easter Sunday and was promptly seated. The server was great and attentive. We started with the shrimp taquitos, and they were delicious. We had the fried chicken sandwich, cheeseburger, steak with baked potatoes, and French dip. Everything was so good. The food was cooked perfectly. Again, the server was very attentive and suggested dessert. We finished with the warm butter cake and it was really good. Topped with vanilla ice cream and berry compote. I highly recommend this restaurant. 5 stars all the way!

    Food was fabulous excellent quality and cooked to perfection - my compliments to the Kitchen! Wait staff was also 10+ made a few suggestions was helpful and on point with her recommendations attentive but not intrusive! The manager greeted us - and was very aware of the staff- definitely a great attitude that was carried out to all the staff members. But now the bummer - it was really noisy - a lot of activity with a lot of patrons. We were a party of 4 and it was a struggle to have conversation. Do t know how you remedy that one. I Will definitely return hopefully at a less busy noisy time.

    The food was excellent. The service was top notch and obviously a team approach to keep things moving. As the restaurant got a little busier, that part slowed down a bit but still within normal limits. We didn't realize that a reservation was recommended for lunch the first time we tried to go there, but made one the second try and we were seated promptly. Definitely will go back again!
