   The food was very good. The service was spotty. We watched while our server chatted with a coworker for several minutes while our beers sat at the bar getting warm.

   Gorgeous spot, food was fine, wine was great, service was fine, were sat at a table that should never have been placed where it was and told we couldn’t sit at the bar even though it never filled up through out our dinning experience. Probably won’t go back

   Food was amazing as always, just waited like 15 minutes for a server to come to us and food took a while.

   We love Greek food and were excited to make it to Nikos. Some of the dishes were very good! The bronzino for example, was truly great. However, several of the dishes were just bad. The Horta was so salty it was inedible. The zucchini cakes were inconsistent - the edges were good but the center of each was undercooked. The grapefruit salad that came with the bronzino had so many pink peppercorns that I had to spit them out. It felt like we just happened to go on a bad night. The menu is really promising and we might try it again another time, but unfortunately it missed the mark in a few place this time around.

   This was our first wine dinner here and all I can say is WOW - we were totally blown away by chefs take on difficult proteins to menu. The mackerel brought us in (and was incredible!), but the halloumi ravioli and, omg, the LAMB BELLY, were out of this world. If any of those items, especially the lamb belly, were a more permanent menu staple, we'd be back in a heartbeat. In the meantime, we will keep an eye out for more dinners like this! (Please consider keeping it affordable, too!!)

   A fun spot in Brightleaf Square. Food was good and the ambience was lively. Recommend the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower!

   We arrived on time and table was waiting for us. A large table was next to us so we were trapped in place but it was fine. Wait staff could get through the maze and it was nice to see the place crowded. We started with mezze platter- taziki was amazing with a lemon reduction and tons of fresh dill. We got the eggplant and carrot salad too. Both amazing and try carrot salad - it was better than imagined. Nothing was overly garlic and everything was balanced and dressed perfectly. Amazing “pita” was warm thin and more like naan meets warm bread. We split cauliflower and the amazing Mac and cheese side. Place looked bright, casual and comfortable. The staff was attentive and the food was amazing so run to nikos. They take reservations too!
