Took my boyfriend to Nicks for the first time and bought his friends as a surprise. Safe to say, we all were VERY pleased with the food and yummy drinks. I thought the birthday dessert would be free but it isn't lol it's okay though. Service was good and ambiance was nice and dark, I wish it was a bit lighter but it wasn't terrible! Everyone had a good time

Just had the best Tuesday night dinner at Nick's! Nick's never disappoints but I felt the need to pop on here and give a special shout out to our server, Omar. Omar was such a gem- he gave us the best food recommendations and made our experience that much better. We will definitely be back & will be asking for Omar's section. :)

Love this place for a quick lunch on 2nd street. Cocktails are great, food is always consistent. We always sit at the bar and the bartenders always take great care of us. The restaurant is open air and always lively. Be back soon!

Always our go-to spot to celebrate birthdays and special times. The food, drinks, ambience and service is amazing as always! And that's why Nick's is our favorite place to be in Belmont shore!

Make sure you make reservations early since this place gets packed on a Friday night. I came here for a group dinner with some friends who thankfully got 8pm reservations the night before (since that was the earliest they had available). Our server was very attentive and gave us the run-down on specials they had on the menu. My husband got a beer and I had a gin and tonic (which was made very well). We shared the clam chowder which was one of their soups of the day that they said was made from scratch. The chowder was super creamy and delicious. We also shared the prime rib dip sandwich with fries. My husband said that it was one of the best prime rib sandwiches he's ever had. It came with some creamy horseradish and an au jus broth to dip in. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the bread was soft and warm. I definitely would recommend this restaurant for high quality american dishes with a night-out or date-night vibe.

Be prepared to find parking because it is packed mid day but i got lucky with residential nearby Appetizer: Moms said the lemon drop was strongggg. Shrimp Taquitos are extra crunchy. About 4 of them i was ready to order a second round and make it my entree All the food came out so hot you'd have to wait a few seconds to take a bite Entrees: Petite bistro salad, great dressing but not too much. I tried the halibut the waiter mentioned wasn't on the menu. My mom said I'm not use to "seared" because it was delicious to her. Spinach and asparagus were great sides with it. Classic cheeseburger was patty was thick thick, i liked it more than my halibut obviously The desserts are all verbally given to u. Jessica was great

Make sure you make reservations in advanced or be ready to wait an hour at least during dinner times. Great area to walk around and plenty of bars to grab a drink while you wait. Parking will be tough so make sure you give yourself extra time and may the odds be ever in your favor... If it's your first time get the bacon deviled eggs, prime rib dip with mac & cheese and finish it off with their butter cake. Trust. Dinner here comes to around $40-$50/person but well worth for any special occasion. Shoutout to Christian who provided awesome service during our dinner.

Nicks on 2nd has come with great service. I usually come to eat at around 3 pm on a weekend and the restaurant is quite busy so I recommend making a reservation. To be honest, I have personally have other food preferences at this price point. However, some family members like to dine here for celebrations. The plate portion sizes have shrunk over time but the quality is still superb, especially for the seafood based dishes I have tried. I'm a hot soup kinda gal and the Ciopinno is a fan favorite for us. The variety of seafood is typically cooked very well and the soup is flavorful. I had concerns about a lot of pieces being overlooked, but that is not the case. The bread it comes with is always warm with herbs and garlic; and I love me some garlic! The ambience itself is relatively casual since the location is close to the beach. Bar seating and booth/table seating are available.

Nick's on 2nd has quickly become my favorite place to eat in the LBC! Every visit so far has been good - excellent service and well executed/delicious food. I enjoy dining on their open air patio (they have great heaters above when it's cold so you can still dine al fresco) which provides great people watching whole you enjoy your meal. My favorite dish by far is the cioppino. Best I've had outside of San Francisco. It's a generous portion with salmon, cod, clams, mussels, shrimp, and some aromatics in a light but very flavorful tomato based seafood broth. If that wasn't enough they serve it with the best mini sourdough garlic loaf - perfect to dip into the hot, savory broth. I also enjoy their fish as their chefs really know how to perfectly cook a filet of fish without over cooking. Other standouts are the shrimp taquito and fried deviled eggs appetizers. I find it easy and convenient to book a reso in advance via their website through OpenTable. Parking is what it is in Belmont Shore, but we've always been able to find an open metered spot. I've taken several friends here to celebrate birthdays and they make it special with a complimentary dessert and sometimes a card from staff. Minor quibble- my last visit I took a friend to celebrate her bday and indicated it was a special bday occasion on the reservation, but staff failed to recognize it. I probably should have said something to the wait staff, but ended up not wanting to make a fuss. That one service blip aside, Nick's is a lovely restaurant to enjoy special occasions or just to dine for a nice lunch or dinner.
