I absolutely LOVED my experience at Nick's. We were late for our reservation and had to sit at the bar, but that was actually cooler since we could see into the kitchen. The wine list is excellent, and the food was even better. The gave us a complitmentary cup of soup, which was to-die-for. I wish I could've tasted their... more

We arrived at the restaurant around 9:30 on a Sunday (I admit, probably not the best time to go...) and they told us a 45 minute wait. That wasn't a problem because we meandered up and down the street, visiting a charming church and a traditional bread bakery. However, 45 minutes came and went, and we weren't seated until around... more

The concierge at the Renaissance hotel recommended Nick's to us this morning for breakfast. He said there would be a wait but that the breakfast would be worth it. He was right! We sat at the counter and enjoyed watching the cooks at work. I ordered black beans with eggs. It was topped with fresh salsa and avocado-cilantro sour cream.... more

If you are posh, and think very highly of yourself, you'll fit in great here! If you're an average Joe, then you'll be treated like you're noone. Be prepared for poshes off the street to be seated before you, and when they say the wait is 25 minutes, it's actually an hour and 15 minutes. Be prepared to sit on... more

Nice, very small if you like that type of atmosphere. Was a little pricey for a diner. Was expecting more based on the reviews. more

While we couldn't complain about the quality of the food at Nick's, the quantity was something else. The three diners who ate here recently were shocked at the bill considering we left still somewhat hungry, When we asked for some bread for the table we were told we could order some (for a price). The four rather small sea scallops... more

Had wanted to try Nick's for some time. A friend came into town, and we went for brunch. There was a wait, but it wasn't that long. Unfortunately, there's not really any place to stand, as the restaurant is pretty small. But the wait was worth it. The brunch menu was amazing, and the Bloody Mary's were excellent! I had... more
