    Had a wonderful 30th Valentine experience with my beautiful Beloved wife. The only thing we would have improved was my Beloved’s steak. We had ordered well done, and it came out medium done, not well done - although it was of course delicious - as we have come to expect from Nick’s. Thank you for a wonderful 30th Valentine dinner.

    I took my wife for an early Valentine Day meal to Nicks. It was very busy and our original seats were right next to the bar where we could not hear each other. Thankfully our hostess Chloe relocated us to the Dining Area where the noise level was better. Our server Mark was excellent, however, there were long delays to receive our initial drinks and in between courses. They appeared to be either short staffed in the kitchen or servers. Our fish & steak were excellent and Butter Cake dessert was the bomb! We will return again but hopefully on a day a bit less busy and request the backside of the Dining Area!
