Wonderful atmosphere and ambiance. Excellent food and service. Portion sizes were on the smaller side, but made up for it in taste. The complimentary truffles for dessert were a lovely bonus.

Great outing for Mothers Day! First time getting a chance to experience Nicolas. Had a 1pm reservation that seemed to be a bit overbooked today. Got there 15 minutes early but wasn't sat until over 20 after 1pm. Besides that, after being sat in the secondary dining room, everything else was fantastic. The food was incredible, honestly surprisingly so, especially for a special event dinner. Experienced the crab cakes, oysters, salmon and quiche entrees. All of which were top notch. Cocktails were also on point including and especially the Smile and Wave. Our server was extremely attentive, constantly running up and down the stairs to serve us. All in all, will definitely come back. Would love to give the standard, evening menu a try here soon.

I dined here with my wife, mom, mother-in-law, and four sons to celebrate Mother's Day. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was fantastic and the service was excellent. The only "negative" was the length of time it took to get seated and served, despite having a reservation; however, as it was Mother's Day, that was not totally unexpected. And Alex, our server, was so funny, knowledgeable and attentive, that we barely noticed how long we were there. Would definitely recommend!

Pretty good food, way overpriced, with mediocre service. The filet came with four four-inch spears of asparagus and maybe two ounces of potato for $72. The Caesar salad was six or seven leaves of baby Romaine for $14. I don’t mind paying for quality, at all, but the portions here are absurdly small. How much would three times as much lettuce and vegetables eat into the profits? The outdoor space is nice until the frequent loud sounds of downtown interfere. I won’t be returning.

Our visit was spectacular. Corey chose a wine that was fantastic, as we were looking for something special and he was very knowledgeable about the wine choices. Austin was our server and we couldn’t have had a better experience with him taking care of our requests. Great job and thanks to everyone involved.
