Our family had been excited to try Nick's, as it received strong reviews. Alas, we found our experience lacking on many levels. The space is tiny, crowded, and sparsely decorated with rudimentary tables and chairs. The service was tepid. After waiting 30 minutes, our food hadn't arrived, and they still hadn't even brought a bread basket. They had run out of rolls. When the bread did arrive, it was the spitting image of grocery store French bread. Disappointing. When the food finally arrived, it was merely mediocre: globby messes of pasta and sauce where everything tasted the same. All that being said, I think we must have caught them on a particularly busy night. However, if you want to keep up with the chain restaurants such as Maggiano's and Carraba's, you need to do better than this, Nick.
