  • Nico has a lot going for it and when it first opened I was concerned they might be in the wrong place to pull off a higher end dining experience. I waited a while I come here admittedly because the menu just didn't call to me. The menu has been changing and evolving and so we finally decided to give it a try. We decided to do a bunch of smaller dishes because there were so many that really appealed to us. We zeroed in on three dishes: - Grilled asparagus with bacon candy, duck egg, and foie gras hollandaise - Burrata with prosciutto and balsamic grape jam - Octopus with arugula Everything was exceptionally prepared, flavored and presented. High end ingredients and careful preparation really stands out at Nico. It's true you do pay for it but when I put that burrara in my mouth my care for the price went out the window. Oh my Lord that dish is sooooo good. The duck egg on the asparagus was perfectly prepared and oozed golden richness that blended perfectly with the Hollandaise that made the dish so decadent. The Octopus was as tender as I've ever had and later learned they use the old Italian trick of soaking in wine corks prior to preparation. If you've ever home cooked Octopus and tried to make it tender you will really appreciate their skills here. The service is exceptional and the bartender is right on the money. He was fun to talk to, stayed close but never too far and always had our glasses filled. He knew a lot about the food and drink and educated us on the menu and preparation. What kicked my review from a tempting 4 star to a 5 star was while sitting at the bar we were admiring the prosciutto that was on the hand cranked slicer. Every once and a while the chef would crank out an order and I am such a sucker for cured swine. The chef or bartender must have overheard us and just dropped off a pile on a plate for us to enjoy while we finished our drinks. On the house prosciutto ?!?!?! Whoo Hooo Last up are their prices which are a little high but they are worth it. This is a nice "treat yourself" place for sure and we got out of there with dinner and a bottle of wine and several beers for less that $100. Considering the quality, service, and beautiful restaurant, i'd say that is not bad. At many places just the bottle of wine would cost you half of that. hey do have some great wine prices on select bottles and even bottle prices and don't be afraid to go there - we tried two (Malbec and a Cab) and they are both solid. They also have Fresh Squeezed IPA which is one of my favorite beers on the planet so nice job there. Will be back for sure!
