| - I had a groupon I had to use up by the end of the month and finally went last night. after reading the reviews I was not anticipating a great dining experience. On the positive side I have to give kudos to the hostess, unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but she has long blond hair. Very friendly, after she sat us she came back a few minutes later and said the waitress was busy and took our drink order, later in the evening I saw her walk past a table and grabbed some empty dishes. If their waitstaff worked as hard as this young lady they would be successful. Our waitress was friendly but inept. Had to be constantly reminded to do something. Ordered a sweet tea but received unsweet told her right away but had to remind her that I never got it had similar experience at end of dinner when I requested a tea to go.
I ordered the ribeye with a baked potato and my wife ordered the prime rib sandwich
with mac n cheese. The ribeye was cooked perfectly. Tasted great it could have used better grill marks but still was very good. My baked potato was cold, I sent it back and asked the waitress not to reheat it in the microwave. She brings me back a different potato about as cold and hard as the first. I switch to fires. Unfortunately, the fries didn't come till I was almost done with my steak. I wife thought the sandwich and mac n cheese was very good.
I found the combination of the décor, the music, and tvs all over the walls didn't match.
The music was like something I hear when I take my kids to Hollister, the tvs cheapened the place making it more a sports bar, The décor made it look like a nice to upscale restaurant. I have not been to the other Nick's so I have to compare this to.

I was surprised but not surprised that a manager never came to our table to ask how was everything. The restaurant was slow and with the lack of stellar reviews I would of thought they would be uber sensitive to guest feedback.
Unless ownership does some drastic changes I don't see Nick;s surviving much longer
It costs a lot of money to open a restaurant, but money doesn't make you a restauranteur.
