   Our dinner at Nikos was a fabulous experience that we will remember and cherish. We felt so lucky to have Lauren as our server. Upon learning it was our first visit, she took great care to explain the menu and had a lovely way of describing the flavors and dishes. The three of us shared everything and each item was not only scrumptious, but a work of art. Tzatziki topped with a creamy lemon reduction. Crispy potato pave looked simple and tasted like a dream. The lettuce boats exploded with flavor. The dishes kept impressing . . . a non-traditional spankopita, ravioli with flavors of mint - wow! All the desserts are made in-house and our favorites were the Dubai chocolate bar and the banana baklava. It's clear that Chef Douglas Rodriguez and his team take great care in all that they do.

   The food was very good. The service was spotty. We watched while our server chatted with a coworker for several minutes while our beers sat at the bar getting warm.

   Gorgeous spot, food was fine, wine was great, service was fine, were sat at a table that should never have been placed where it was and told we couldn’t sit at the bar even though it never filled up through out our dinning experience. Probably won’t go back

   Food was amazing as always, just waited like 15 minutes for a server to come to us and food took a while.

   We love Greek food and were excited to make it to Nikos. Some of the dishes were very good! The bronzino for example, was truly great. However, several of the dishes were just bad. The Horta was so salty it was inedible. The zucchini cakes were inconsistent - the edges were good but the center of each was undercooked. The grapefruit salad that came with the bronzino had so many pink peppercorns that I had to spit them out. It felt like we just happened to go on a bad night. The menu is really promising and we might try it again another time, but unfortunately it missed the mark in a few place this time around.

   This was our first wine dinner here and all I can say is WOW - we were totally blown away by chefs take on difficult proteins to menu. The mackerel brought us in (and was incredible!), but the halloumi ravioli and, omg, the LAMB BELLY, were out of this world. If any of those items, especially the lamb belly, were a more permanent menu staple, we'd be back in a heartbeat. In the meantime, we will keep an eye out for more dinners like this! (Please consider keeping it affordable, too!!)

    A fun spot in Brightleaf Square. Food was good and the ambience was lively. Recommend the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower!
