I always love Nick‘s. A friend was visiting from Chicago area. We had a beautiful lunch outside on the patio. I particularly love their prime rib, beef dip. But we also got their deviled eggs, which are very special. She got the little petite steak and salad and soup. We enjoyed virgin Mojitos and catching up. It was fantastic. The service is amazing. The food is delicious.

Had a wonderful dinner at Javier's Crystal Cove. Our table was seated right as the sun was setting, and the ocean view from the patio is hard to beat. The service was attentive without ever feeling rushed, and the whole place has a warm, upscale energy. The food was excellent across the board, and it's the kind of spot that turns an ordinary evening out into something memorable. Already looking forward to going back.
