Food: food was very good. Portions were abundant and quality was way above average Service: exceptional Ambiance: manhattan beach- what more can I say!!! Great restaurant and a big part of a great day!!!
I love the vibe here. It's located at the mall so there's plenty of free parking. It's next to a cute little court yard so if you're waiting to be seated it quite relaxing outside. When you arrive you get a complimentary glass of champagne while you wait to be seated. If you have reservations which i recommend but are not required, the wait is never long. The ambiance is indoor yet outdoor with its open floor plan. They have seats off in the cut, which means slightly away from others...... if you're feeling romantic. The steaks are fabulous and they have a nice variety. The quality, flavor, and cut of their steaks, will leave you wanting more. They have great service. The people there do their best to make your dining experience a memorable one. Always excellent service. . A must try if you're a steak lover.
I went to Nick's on a Tuesday night and it wasn't too crowded! The only thing is parking which can be tricky. There are a couple of parking structures and street parking nearby. The server was very kind and helpful. I got the sea bass which came with whipped potatoes and spinach. The potatoes were so buttery and probably my favorite part art of the dish. We also got the calamari and asparagus fries to share. Both were great appetizers. My boyfriend got the original ribeye melt which was also really good! Definitely recommend both those dishes.
Very attentive and quick service. Food was also very fresh and came out promptly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to simply dine on a whim in Manhattan beach.
Love Nick's restaurants. Pasadena is the first one I ever went to and loved everything about it. First time here at Manhattan Beach and won't be the last for sure. I enjoyed my dining experience here with my family earlier tonight The service was impeccable. From the moment we walked in til we left everyone was friendly and attentive. The cocktails were delicious so was the food. The asparagus fries were amazing and we devoured it. The Thai chicken salad was my absolute favorite and the bistro salad was amazing.y kids loved their meals and my mom was thrilled with her steak and baked potato dish. The cioppino was ok a bit too soupy for my husband, not like the ones he's used to. The flavors were good he said but not the consistency. The ambience here is great. Both indoor and outdoor seating is beautiful and pleasant. There is a parking lot right next to it so it's easy to park and walk to the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurants to everyone.
Enjoyed dining here. Had reservations. Chose to sit outdoors. Started with a cocktail, a jalapeño watermelon margarita. Delicious. I ordered the Cioppino. I knew it came with a round loaf of garlic, butter sourdough on the side. One of the best Cioppinos I've eaten in a long time. The bread was so good, I had to eat the entire thing. Even though I was full, I ordered the butter cake for dessert. So yummy. It comes topped with fruit and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The service was exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant.
We were in the neighborhood, and it was our first time, we ordered steak and seafood soup. The steak came with baked potato, the decoration was really nice, it tasted good. The soup was also good, it came with a bread. We enjoyed our food, definitely try again.
Nick's is one of the best restaurants in Manhattan Beach. This restaurant offers a very nice selection of high-quality dishes. My favorite, and the one I have pretty much every time I come in, is their cioppino. It is really-really good. Nick's has both indoor dining as well as patio dining. Personally, I always enjoy sitting out on the patio. Rain or shine, it's always a great place to enjoy a meal. This being said, they also do have a very nice interior dinning space for those who want to be more enclosed. Plus, they also have a good bar area. The design of this restaurant verges on the old school leading to a very nice and classic dining experience. The staff are always very friendly and helpful for anything you may need. Overall, if you're looking a great meal in Manhattan Beach, this restaurant is a great choice.
Nick's is located in the Metlox plaza and is a very nice place for brunch. I walked in with a friend and couldn't decide between their Bistro Plate and Blackened Fish Sandwich. Thankfully, our server Kyla was well-versed in the menu, and I went with her recommendation of the Bistro Plate. When the Bistro Plate arrived, I was nervous to dig in because of a previous bad experience with filet mignon. I'm not quite the meat enthusiast and went with medium-rare, and oh did it not disappoint! The filet mignon was seasoned well with salt and pepper as well as additional ingredients that provided a hint of sweet. Their unique mix of ingredients was perfect for a petite afternoon meal. Moving on from the filet mignon, I enjoyed their bistro salad, a light toss of greens in a sweet vinaigrette. The soup of the day was a creamy textured lentil which exceeded any expectations that I ever had of lentil soup - can't quite call it cream of tomato, but it was delicious! What was most outstanding was Kyla's impeccable service and attention in keeping our waters topped off at all times. For reference, I cleared maybe 5 cups in the 45 minutes that I was there. Thank you for an amazing brunch!
One of our favorite spots! The service is always on point, and you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Some of our favorites include the Tuna Tartare for starters--sashimi-grade tuna, avocado, crispy wonton chips, and a delicious aioli sauce. The Cioppino with shrimp, clams, mussels, and salmon in their delightful broth with sourdough bread is amazing. The Pan-Seared Chilean Sea Bass just melts in your mouth. If they have any more medium-rare prime rib sandwiches on a brioche bun served with au jus, it's a must-try! Also, the classic cheeseburger, medium-rare, is juicy and delicious! And make sure you save room for the warm butter cake served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! It's one of the best I've ever tried! We also used to love their charcuterie board, with a variety of meats, cheeses, nuts, and fruits, as well as their delectable complimentary warm bar nuts. Unfortunately, both are no longer available on the menu.
