| - Always drove past this place but never came in. So it was my bf's birthday last Friday so I decided to give it a try. We had 15 people at this place and the service was quite good (even though it took 3.5 hours to eat dinner). Before I made a reservation for this place, I went online to check out the menu and the prices just so that it's affordable for the guests. With Nick's being a steakhouse, my bf and I wanted steak. The prices were very reasonable ($25-$40) for steak entrees. Came with veggies, potatoes and bread.
Here was where I was a bit disappointed. I was a waitress for 10 years and I understand that the servers need to upsell however, with being a server, there needs to be some smarts and some common sense. You would by far get a better tip when you put your customers needs first and give good suggestions. I know for one that if a server is very helpful, I would give them a better tip. For appetizers, I ordered 4 baskets of garlic cheese toast, 2 orders of garlic shrimp and calimari. The appetizers came out to $80. It was VERY steep but for 15 people, I shrugged it off. But what I was disappointed about was the server failed to mention that ALL the meals come with a side of garlic bread. Had she told me AT THE TIME when I ordered 4 baskets of garlic cheese toast, i wouldn't have spent $40 on cheese toast! So we all ate this bread, filled ourselves up and when the entrees came,they brought 6 ADDITIONAL baskets of garlic toast we were shocked. What happened to all that bread? Ended up going in the garbage! Had she told us ahead of time, there wouldn't be so much waste.
Then we ordered our entrees. We all know there are additional charges to add ons (like chicken, prawns, extra cheese etc). 3 people at our table (including my bf) ordered a $25 steak entree meal with a lobster tail add on and prawns add on. To me, I figured a lobster tail add on would be $10 and prawns would be about $6 or $7. The server didn't tell us how much the add ons were. Mind you....I guess that was our own fault for not asking her but we didn't think it would be THAT expensive. We got the bill and my bf's entree came out to $68!!! Mine came out to $40. Our other friend's entree came out to $92! We were all in shock. We couldn't believe that they charged $30 for a lobster tail add on and $12.99 for 6 prawns!! We were not impressed by this. We understand an additional charge but $30 for a lobster tail? I can order a FULL lobster from Halifax, shipped in over night for $20. And $12.99 for 6 prawns??? They weren't even big.
Overall.....we enjoyed the food however the price was a little too extreme for our liking. We would certainly go back for steak however no add ons.
