    We went to Nick's to celebrate my friends Bitthday. Our server, April, was so attentive and pleasant. She made our experience so delightful. The food was amazing! So delicious. We had a chocolate cake given to my friend for her birthday and a card signed by all the servers. Highly recommend!

    For some reason, cabbage is being added to several of their salads. The market salad that I had last night tasted like it was 90 percent cabbage. It used to be iceberg or mixed greens. They are also adding cabbage to a couple of their other kale salads. Not sure why they are doing that, but I’m not a fan.
