Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jay Flatley

From the OpenTable editors: Lyon-born chef Nico Romo is the youngest-ever US member of The French Culinary Academy, and his flair for French cuisine shows in the top-notch dishes at this cheery indoor-outdoor seafood bistro. Think wood-fired escargots with Provençal butter and flounder meunière. Of course, it being an oyster destination, raw-bar fanatics have plenty of platters and preparations to choose from, as well. Round it out with a glass of sparkling, white, or rosé from the French-leaning wine list.

    As always, Nico's food was superb, especially the oysters and other seafood. Service on the patio was great. We keep coming back, because the experience is always good.

    Haven’t been to Nico for a while, but used to come to CHS a few times a summer and ate here often. Started out very nice. It wasn’t very busy on this Tues. night and our waiter (Mike?) was very nice and accommodating. The apps were BY FAR the best part of the meal and had we known, would have ordered a few more of those and skipped the entrees altogether. Salad Lyonnaise was excellent & plenty for 3 of us. The mussels were next best with curried broth and cooked perfectly. Last was the roasted oysters napoleon. Tasty, but not bc of the oyster! Topped w so much spinach, bacon and cheese that it drowned out the oyster altogether. Stick to the raw bar for oysters. 2 entrees for 3 of us. The bouillabaisse and the baked scallops. Bouillabaisse had nothing but shellfish and a few pieces of chopped octopus. There was literally no broth so we asked for more since bouillabaisse is a SOUP. This was def not soup. It was a shellfish medley. Mike brought more broth & it was better but still so bland.The baguette w/rouille was helped but it lacked a flavorful concentrated fish broth and well…fish! NO fish at all (even tho the menu said local fish was included). For $32 it was a total disappointment. Also a disappointment was the $36 Burgundy sea scallops. There were about 6 medium scallops, wood fired and completely dry. The little bit of sauce was on the bottom of the skillet and again had no flavor at all (rice was the best part.). Would def not order that again either. Dessert: Ordered baked apple tart & it came out in a pretty rectangular baking dish with ice cream. Baked apples were great but it was topped with a piece of puff pastry that was undercooked and very chewy. Pushed it aside and enjoyed the warm apples. TO THE MANAGER: We were the only table left inside at 8:40pm & the entire staff was wiping the tables & cleaning up frantically. They wanted to go home!! It felt awful! Maybe it explains the food issues we had but at these prices it’s just NOT acceptable.

    Thank you for your feedback Terri, it is most helpful. It is our firm belief that the last table in our restaurant should enjoy the same experience as the first and I apologize this was not the case. I have relayed your kitchen details to our executive chef and he will be speaking to the team scheduled that day to ensure these issues do not happen again. I have also advised the host and management team against seating the table you were sat at last, as it is unfortunately next to where we polish glassware and in earshot of the kitchen. This is usually not an issue as the dining room is buzzy enough, however at the end of the night I can see how it would be obtrusive. I am following this response with a private email to the one provided on your Open Table account.

    The service was professional, friendly and experienced. The food was served in cast iron skillets and was loaded w so much butter & grease, we couldn’t taste the food.
