    Hi, I took the family for my daughter’s 20th bday. It was magnificent! All was fabulous! Garrett was super sweet & attentive to detail. We all were so impressed with our dishes. Beautiful & delicious. Thank you! My daughter was gifted a precious chocolate cake and we got to sing to her AND she was presented with a bday card signed by the staff! Like 20 signatures! Whoa! That was over the top! Thanks again!! You guys are The Best!

    Nick's never disappoints. Food and service were great, and the price was actually quite reasonable. It has been a week of celebrations, so I had other experiences to compare it to. 5 days prior a friend and I had a half price happy hour cocktail, 2 appetizers and a dessert at a different restaurant. and the bill was $130!! 3 days prior I had dinner for 3 at yet another restaurant, 3 cocktails, 3 entrees, 1 salad (we shared) and 1 dessert... the bill was $300! Imagine my delight when I received the bill at Nick's for my family of 4 adults for only $160. It was my birthday so we shared the free dessert, and they gave me a birthday card. Parking is a little tricky in Belmont Shore, but we got lucky so the evening was a total success.
