    The food at Nick’s was fabulous and tonight did not disappoint! We had the sirloin special, Black Forest schnitzel, Weiner schnitzel and chicken spatzle. All so yummy! The red cabbage is also delish. And we split a chocolate soufflé that was perfect. Michelle was our server and she was informative and charming. Such a great experience!

    Our server, Morgan, was first rate. Just the right balance of attentiveness mixed with professionalism! Definitely will be back. Cassandra from pastries was truly a special experience. She gifted us with some appetizer samples and carefully explained the ingredients. She was truly the gift. Thank you Morgan & Cassandra!❤️ The entire night reminded us of Le Grand Colbert. Awesome!

    Our table was ready when we arrived. Hostess very polite. Our server was attentive and friendly to us. We enjoyed a Chianti while munching on a delicious bread with housemade dipping olive oil and herbs. We could have made a meal of that! We enjoyed the well seasoned short ribs with roasted Brussel Sprouts, served on creamy mashed potatoes. If we had room, we would have had dessert. Choices were wonderful! This was our first dining experience at Vincent's, but definitely not the last!

    Best dining experience of our lives. We closed the menus and trusted the Head Waiter, Donnie. We ate things we would have never ordered and loved every one of them! This is a quaint little place - Brandon, Hunter and Donnie are forever intertwined in our lives. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be eating here every time we get to Charleston. Cheers!
