"Recently went with a group of friends and was SHOCKED that I was eating on the island. Everything we ordered and shared was just so darn delish! Eggplant something that tasted like oatmeal..mmmm. Strawberry salad..mmm and I had the BEST tiramasu martini ever! I dont even like martinis. Friendly staff and so attentive. Will go again! cant wait."

"I went there Wednesday night, the last night that the Groupon covered. Even though they had a very busy night, they were still preparing excellent food. The salad and steak were both fantastic, and Joe and Dominick couldn't have been nicer. Will definitely come back. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially given what such items would cost in Manhattan."

"for her bday. Want the review? Here goes... Food was very good. Thank god. Service? AWFUL! The waitress sat us and for about 10 minutes, we sat there without… even water. We finally get the menus and decide to order an appetizer! We chose the marinated octopus which was very good! However, there was an orangey, salty, substance that we asked what it was. The waitress replies, "I don't know. I don't like octopus! But, I'll find out". You think she ever found out? Negative. I had the meatloaf with chipotle ketchup which I really liked. Christine had the gnocchi which was good but swimming in oil. When we were done the waitress asked if we were done and wanted the check. At which time Christine asked if we were allowed to have dessert. After about a minute of the girl fumbling thru her pockets, she found the looooong list of the 3 items offered. We chose the marshmallow creme brûlée. Again, very good. Now, the check comes. The girl brings it over on a plate and walks away. 2 minutes later she comes back and asks if we are paying by check or credt card because she needs to know if she should be swiping the card. What does it matter? Then the manager comes over and offers us after dinner drinks on the house and things are lookig up! He never returns with them after waiting for 10 minutes AND after watching him bring drinks to another table on the house. He returns when we are getting ready to leave and tries to say the waitress was supposed to brig them which is obviously untrue. If he took the order and served the other table, he should've brought he drinks to us. Don't offer something and then not bring it! If there is one thing I cannot stand its bad service and although he food at nicks was pretty good the service was awful so I will not be returning. And I would encourage anyone else who believes service is important to NOT go there either."

I have read your review and I humbly apologize for your unpleasant experience, especially since it was your girlfriendwife's birthday. You must have been there on our 1st weekend, specifically our 1st Saturday night. We were short two waitresses due to the flu, and pink eye. Secondly, we had a young lady who was hired as a hostess try and fill in to accommodate the completely unexpected large crowd we had that night. Needless to say , there were some unhappy guests due to the shortage in service and the nearly 100 guests who visited that night. On top of the large # of guests, there was a table of 12, 10, and two tables of 8 at virtually the same time which made matters more difficult for teh wait staff, and the kitchen. The Goocchi, which is normally an extremely well loved dish was probably oily because it sat too long in the kitchen before being served after some time sitting, the oils from the cheese and cream tend to separate , and I apologize for that. The item in the Grilled Octopus salad you are referring to is fried green tomatoes. Unfortunately, you chose the worst possible night to visit us which is totally not your fault, and again I apologize for that. I would like to offer you and Christine a complimentary dinner on me to compensate for your unpleasant experience, and I hope that you will accept... I assure you that the next experience will be a pleasant one.
