    Fabulous food. Had a party of 5 and shared the meze platter, which was delicious. Between the 5 of us, we had shwarma, Athenian chicken, falafel, and pancakes. Everything was wonderful. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful. Will definitely be back!

    Best Brunch ever!! Every small plate was delicious - roasted cauliflower and zucchini cakes were fabulous! Chicken horitiki salad was amazing and short rib sandwich outstanding. Can’t wait to return!

    The food was not balanced. It was either bland or too spicy. Overrated and over valued

    This is my second time visiting Nikos. The second experience was far worse than the first. Our server only checked in once and we were left with empty water glasses. The food was “fair” and VERY overpriced for what we got. For three appetizers and a glass of wine, we spent over $80. This place has gone downhill and it’ll likely be the last time I visit.

    This was a GREAT experience! We decided to go there for my first meal after surgery. Ending up booking the bar as they were pretty full but still a great experience. The staff was attentive, kind and accommodating. They offered suggestions when we asked. Service was just terrific. We had the happy hour appetizers and the steak. Well prepared and so tasty! I am so glad we made the decision to celebrate a medical success there. Could not have asked for better treatment. Five stars all the way!
