The service was excellent, they were very attentive and gave great food recommendations. The atmosphere is very warm, chic and friendly and the prices are reasonable, great value. I have recommended this place and will definitely be going back often.Vanessa B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-53430633335673567692010-01-16T12:20:27.213-05:002010-01-16T12:20:27.213-05:00Glad to help.

The menu does not look so interesting to me but I noted a few classic Greek dishes so will give it a try. BTW, Katsuno across the street is a gem, pricey, yes, but high quality food, artfully presented, an exciting Japanese menu with more than the usual basic sushi - I really look forward to your review once you get there. Thanks for your reviews, I find them fun to read and very informative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-33876937809602719662010-01-03T01:27:46.245-05:002010-01-03T01:27:46.245-05:00I hope somebody from Nick's Bistro reads this ...I hope somebody from Nick's Bistro reads this review...if nothing else, they could do something to improve the various elements of service that were turnoffs!

And besides, this is supposed to be a Greek restaurant. Burgers and fries shouldn't even be on the menu. But hey, if they're great then great, I only recommend that focus on those dishes and thin down the menu by weeding out the "fancy" dishes.Jon Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728136630493588196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-28757662029653159932010-01-02T21:14:52.470-05:002010-01-02T21:14:52.470-05:00I've been to Nicks a couple of times and found...I've been to Nicks a couple of times and found it to be one of the better places in FOHI. Bro shouldn't be ordering lobster ravioli. Try the burgers which are real ground meat and not patties. The french fries are fresh cut too, which you don't get in many places. The souvlaki is great too.<br /><br />Stick to the basics next time. As you said, Le Cirque, or Astoria for that matter, this is not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-27085315424430438072010-01-02T12:45:05.364-05:002010-01-02T12:45:05.364-05:00Katsuno's on the list but they're not chea...Katsuno's on the list but they're not cheap.
