    Had an excellent BD celebration for my daughter at Nick’s NB today. The service was outstanding. The food, salads & filet mignon were delicious. I think the menu is very good! Steak, salads, chicken, appetizers & gratis choc cake for dessert was a crowning touch! I’ll be back!

    A trip to Nick’s is like a trip to the finest white tablecloth restaurant in Orange County except that it is much more casual with a menu that is full of reliable items like meatloaf, fried chicken, and ribs. In addition, it has fun items like sushi, salads that are quite out of the ordinary(I do wish they would have a more normal Romain salad). The innovation is in the quality of the food, the quality of the service and quite frankly the beautiful atmosphere. Our visit last night was positively impacted when our waiter noticed us giving a birthday card to our son. He asked him his name, wished him a happy birthday and later, bro Small chocolate cake with a candle on top and a note signed by all the staff. That’s above and beyond. The people of Orange County have noticed how great Nick is making it the number one restaurant consistently. Do not even attempt to go without a reservation! Kudos to the staff and management For making Nick’s Newport Beach stellar.

    Service and food were so good! The ribs were tender, filling and I loved the sides. The steak was cooked perfectly. The butter cake is to-die-for. Definitely will be dining again. Was sat at an awesome table on the patio which has a great atmosphere. The spicy margarita is a must.

    First time at Newport Beach location. The location is beautiful with a relaxed atmosphere. We went for lunch on a Saturdat and it was busy but not overcrowded or too noisy. Service was impeccable. The perfect blend of being attentive but not hovering or pushing. The food was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend
