Sensational!! I just got back from Greece and this restaurant is the most authentic Greek food I’ve ever had in the states. Absolutely delicious and incredible. The service was exceptional. Cannot recommend more. The baked feta with spicy honey is to die for! The salmon and lamb chops are chefs kiss!

    We had a wonderful dinner for 4 at Nicola’s. The food was superb. Get the goat cheese salad- it is special. The lamb pasta, eggplant, and gnocchi were also hits. Drinks and dessert topped a lovely evening. Always a great experience at Nicola’s. Jackson was a great server.

    Amazing experience! Madison was our server and she was wonderful (friendly, happy, and didn’t linger). Service was exceptional! They KNOW what hospitality means and HOW to carry it out! Food was great and just the right amount. The GM and chef both visited our table which gave it a personal and genuine touch. The Restaraunt was super busy but everything flowed smoothly. FOH was trained well and BOH was organized as each course came out in perfect time and was elegantly plated! Highly recommend the vanilla risotto for dessert (ask for extra mango!)

    We had an early dinner so it was not crowded and very quiet. Our server Rachel was amazing and very friendly. The food was incredible, I ordered 2 sides, which were incredible, but very large/shareable portions. The restaurant and decor is quaint, cozy and comfortable. We will definitely return!
