    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.

    I had a fantastic experience at Nikos! The zucchini cakes were incredibly tasty, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The roasted cauliflower was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The falafel was packed with flavor and cooked just right, and the chicken shawarma was absolutely delicious. Our server, Lauren, was amazing—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is charming and beautifully decorated, making for a lovely dining atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for a wonderful meal!
