    Great food and service….. we did not love our choice of banana flambé dessert so they quickly remedied that with a new selection at no charge. Very considerate.

    We love Niko’s. Everything; food, service, ambiance is great and the noise level is such that we are able to have a conversation. Highly recommended.

    We were celebrating a major milestone and hadn't been to Nikos in years. Sadly after last night I can no longer call this place a favorite. Our calamari was very chewy and had way too much lemon. The Caesar salad was extremely basic and disappointing. The dressing has no flavour and the lettuce was all the white end bits. Our gnocchi had excellent flavour but was extremely oily. We ordered bread with oil and vinegar and it was honestly the worst bread I've ever been served in an Italian restaurant. We opted to only have the one main as nothing was hitting the mark.We left feeling unsatisfied and won't return.
