Great place to dine before going to NJPAC for a show, or even if you’re in the area for a visit. Food is very good d as well as the staff hospitality. Be sure to reserve on line far in advance of your show time.

The last time I ate at this location (pre-Nico), it was noisy, and overpriced, with mediocre food and poor service. What a delight to be at Nico’s - lovely soft music, tables placed a comfortable distance from each other to minimize the noise, excellent and pleasant service, and good food at reasonable (by today’s standards) prices. Sorry I avoided coming here before an NJPAC performance for so long!
