An enjoyable lunch experience. I had the center cut filet, wedge salad and deviled eggs. Steak was tender, lettuce was crisp and fresh. Nice take on deviled eggs, as the whites were fried.
Nick’s in Pasadena is definitely a hot spot for a reason. From the moment we arrived, the energy was great, busy but not overwhelming, and the vibe was lively without being too loud. Even with how popular it was, our wait time was minimal and we were seated fairly quickly, which was a great start to the experience. Customer service …
It was our anniversary, we didn't make reservations and walked in. There was some seats at bar area. Server/bartender was really nice and professional. Food was good too. I will come back.
Lunch with my ladies today, this place is always outstanding! From the food to the service, atmosphere and decor everything is gets an A+ everyone in our party loved their food 👍 I had the Veggie burger 🍔 this time which was good but now I must return to have my favorite dish there which is the salmon 😋 yum!!!
Food was very well prepared and flavored. Center cut fillet was cooked properly medium rare. Excellent food overall - including drinks and appetizers. Service was attentive without being overbearing like some higher end restaurants have. May be a bit noisy at times but they tried to keep some distance, including a bit of a barrier from the waiting area at …
Nick’s in Pasadena was the perfect spot for a special night out. I went with five of my sorority sisters to celebrate sisterhood, and the evening was wonderful from start to finish. Everyone ordered something different — salmon, salads, and various meat dishes — and every meal was flavorful and well seasoned. The appetizers (fried zucchini, shrimp, nachos, and spinach …

We were initially seated deeper inside the restaurant near the kitchen, as the upper floor hadn’t opened yet for dinner. While I can imagine that seat being perfect for anyone who loves watching chefs work their magic, it wasn’t …
Today was our 41st wedding anniversary dinner and it was such a great experience at Nick’s Pasadena… everything was great: Food, drinks, service, parking, restaurant and overall everything was close to perfection. The only disappointment was the “Rock Ice” for old fashioned & Oaxaca drinks; this ice cube was sub-par… very cloudy. Looking for improvement for our next visit. Overall …
Today we came to your restaurant to celebrate, and we truly had a wonderful experience. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, and everything was prepared with such great quality. We were also very fortunate to meet such an amazing server who took excellent care of us throughout the meal. The service was warm, attentive, and professional, which made our …
My friend and I had a resy for dinner, our first time at Nick's. The hostess was knowledgeable ans happy to answer our questions about the food as we were deciding what we wanted to order. Our app was spinach dip and chips, the best we've ever had! It was sooo good. I ordered the meatloaf and potatoes, the meat …
