    Windy, covered outside eating area with insufficient heaters on a cold evening. Detracted from enjoyment of the meal, since we hurried through dinner and were chilled by the end.

    I’ve been to this establishment several times over the years. This was the first time that the staff tried to “handle” me and my party. We set up a reservation for a business dinner and they wanted to put us in the bar at a round table. I told them no less than four times that I would rather wait for my table, but they still sat us there. Eventually, I told the manager that we were not going to have dinner there unless we got our table per our reservation. We had to wait and eventually got a booth. The strangest part about all this is that everyone that spoke to us was in on this attempt to try and get us to a round table for walk-ins. Not cool as I’ve been to Nick‘s several times in many different locations. It disrupted the business dinner meeting quite a bit. Not a good night for Nick’s.

    Food and service exceptional. Design decor very blah like a basic hotel. Not a lot of ambiance, but the meatloaf and deviled eggs are worth the trip.
