    This was my first visit to Nikos. Our table was ready for us and we were seated immediately. The server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and wine. The small plates were some of the best I have ever had. So fresh and flavorful. The Branzino fish entree was to die for. I would certainly go back back to Nikos to sample all the offerings. I had a difficult time deciding on what to try. It was all terrific. Restaurant got a little loud with large parties there but quieted down after they left. Parking can be challenging, although there is a small pay lot close by.

    We went to Nikos and it was perfect. The food was outstanding and the drinks were so good. But I want to give a special thanks to our waitress Lauren who was more than perfect. I have intolerance to spice and she made sure to guide me very well through the menu. So the service was amazing.

    We entered the restaurant and a mat was not properly in place and my wife tumbled. After they helped her up and made sure she was ok and we were seated the manager denied snows out of place with the mat and said they have 5 witnesses. This was not what he said to me when she fell and he said I saw the whole thing and I am sorry about the mat. Then a second manager came over and argued with us about the fall. Normally we would have left but we were going to a show. Ultimately they comped the meal and became more agreeable after I asked for an accident report to file Male manager was awful the woman did become more agreeable and sympathetic

    As usual the food is good at Nikos and the evening started off promising. Until entrees arrived. It was a "drop and run" which is very irritating within itself but made more so because one entree was not correct. No one ever came back to the table to check on us, a table of 6, until we had basically finished our entrees. The diner whose entree was incorrect managed to push aside the parts that were wrong and eat the main protein. I just expect better attention to detail at one of Giorgio's restaurants.

    Love the ambience. Potion sizes are very small for the price, but the taste was great.
