Our server Grace D was phenomenal. Her honesty in suggesting an app over a main dish based on the portion size and similar flavors was already a great start. From the minute we got our apps to main dishes, there was no gap in how efficient the staff was. We practically didn’t have to wait for the food once it started coming. The flavors were great. I highly recommend the MAKANEK as starter. It wasn’t what I had expected, but it’s already going to be must when we come again. At the end of the meal, she surprised us with a small treat, making the entire experience great. I hope we get Grace again!

The food here is always great. I had the lamb and sea (lamb chops and shrimp) which was one of the specials. The lamb was cooked just as I asked (medium) and was a nice portion, along with 5 or 6 shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. I also had the mussels for an appetizer, some of the best I have had. Everyone at our table was too full for dessert. In fact, 3 out of the 5 of us took home leftovers. Nick’s Bistro remains one of our favorite restaurants both for the food and the value, as well as the friendly, attentive wait staff.
