Better food than last time, a year ago. Good value. Service good minus a too-long period after we finished the main 20minutes was longer than ideal. We will return. Booths a little better than table we had, which was near an exit door.

My family and I have loved this place since our first meal. We just went for Valentine's and something was off. The service and some of the food we ordered wasn't as good as usual.

The restaurant is good for a special occasion. The portions are generous , served in a nice manner. Everything tastes good. The price is somewhat higher than you would expect from a local place. Overall - good

The location/vibe is excellent. The staff/servers were friendly and attentive. The food was a great disappointment. We all ordered different plates and nobody was happy with anything. Even the desert was subpar... how do you make a bad cheesecake? My wife thought her scallops had been frozen for a long time, and they sat on but a dollop of risotto... at around $30 it was a total rip-off. My chicken was hard and dry and the wine sauce just weird. I awoke in the middle not the night with a terrible stomach ache. The salad was like spring mix tossed on a plate... nothing special about it at all. Then the bill came... and for four people (only one person had a drink that wasn't called tap water) the tab was over $220. Which for what we had, hurt.

True the 49 ers we’re playing on the bar TV and everyone was preoccupied except our table. Twice we had to get up and seek out the friendly waitstaff. We all had burgers and fries, and they were great. We sat next to the bathroom and the smell of sanitizer wasn’t too bad, but the place looked shabby. That said I would go back for a burger but not expect much in terms of atmosphere or service.

The server gave great service, the food was good but the restaurant needed a good cleaning; this made us hurry up and finish our meal.

Had no idea Nico's was even in Berkeley! The food was consistently good - crispy brussels sprouts in a not-overpowering garlic/balsamic glaze, freshly made rolls, delicious and large Caesar salad, tasty seared scallops with a pea risotto, New York steak perfectly cooked and delicious. We were surprised but happy. However, the prices are not low, by any means. Service started out quite good and then the server didn't come by for a long time, and forgot to ask us if we wanted dessert. Only a few choices were available and none were appealing, so we didn't, but would definitely be inclined to come again. The restaurant isn't beautiful, but it is comfortable enough (although we were chilly inside the night we were there). Try it out!

The wait staff could not have been nicer nor better in any respect. The restaurant had no detectable central heat and the two space heaters were entirely inadequate. The pea and saffron risotto had great flavor but was served luke warm and even reheated was still luke warm. The ambiance (except for the temperature) was lovely and the food is deserving of a second chance. Here’s to a “better next time “ possibility.

Waitress was super lovely as well as the neighborhood. Sort of underwhelmed by the quality of food, Especially given the prices.

Five us shared the ahi tuna appetiser, and we all but fought over the last pieces. It was that good. Three of us ate steak with two side dishes of our choice....squash and asparagus. The steak was cooked to perfection (as were the sides) and very large. One member of our group took the leftovers home. The other two members had scallops and lamb, and they finished everything. Our one regret: we had no room for dessert.
