Great service! Great food! Great atmosphere! I like that the cigar bar is separate from non-smoking dining but I just wish they had a bathroom on the non-smoking side. That’s my only complaint! Everything else is wonderful.
Nick Will Fix it. Thought I would share this with others who wirte reviews on various sites. As a periodic diner at Nick’s we visited recently and had another fine dining experience. Everything was prepared as desired however my steak had a bit of gristle in it so I wrote on the comment card that is provided in the final bill folder. About two days later I received a personal call from Nick himself asking for more details about the steak. He told me that he reads every comment card submitted and responds to many, especially if he finds an area of concern. He also said that he appreciates diners who provide him immediate feedback directly or via the comment card so he can fix any issues that may come up on the spot. He says he reads the review sites periodically but that he believes if a diner can’t talk with him directly through his own process (direct communication or comment card) he can’t really respond or fix the issue on a personal basis. I know he reads them because I noticed that he has arranged for a separate entry for non smokers and that appears to have been the biggest item raised by submitters. I will use the comment card from now on…….I know it works and he personally called me………..Nick is obvisouly an owner who cares about his guests and we will go back often because that is a breath of fresh air.28 Oct, 2013What a great Ristorante. If you havent been to Nicks Ristorante in a while you are really missing out. Of course they have the best steaks in town as always and now they have a new Chef trained in Classical Italian Fare and he is creating magic in the kitchen. Nick has also brought back the 20th Diner program on weekdays so if you are the 20th ticket name to go through the kitchen you receive you entre at 12 off…….this is a great way to get out on the weekdays and what a surprise when I found out I was # 20 Tuesday night! They have also just about completed the direct access entry into the dining room so non-smokers wont have to go through the lounge to get to the dining room. Nicks Ristorante is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business(SDVOSB) Nick being a Service Disable Vet he does all he can to accommodate folks from all walks of life…..still my favorite spot in Huntsville and now they also have live entertainment on occasion as background dining music!!!!
Changed CHEF!!. We have been to Nicks on many occasions to eat dinner and have great drinks. The other night was a total failure!It seems that everything that was successful at this restaurant has changed for the worst.4 of us went the other night, and the food tasted cold, and undercooked. My steak was so raw, I just asked for a to go box, and the creamy mashed potatoes, were coarse and lumpy. When we used to go when they first opened, the atmosphere was something out of a movie you wanted to be in. The cute blonde short haired bartender was the best in town and could light up a sky, the chef could cook a steak like no one else, and the servers were fantastick. the other night, we just wanted to leave, The great chef was no longer there, nor was the best bar staff,Wish it was like it was when they first opened with A plus service and cuisine.
Best in Huntsville!. We had our best meal and restaurant experience to date in Huntsville at Nicks. The service was impeccable- even offered a black napkin when they noticed I was wearing black pants. They pay perfect attention to detail and took the time to get to know us, give excellent recommendations, and make sure we were never low on drinks or in need of a thing. We enjoyed a conversation with the owner, who is clearly passionate about what he does, and that shines through in the food- fabulous steaks, delicious drinks, wonderful asparagus, and dessert that is worth the calories! Though the bar area is smokey, you can get a table in the back of the restaurant side and barely even know you are next door to it. Worth the money! What a great evening.
100% dissatisfied! The smoke is overwhelming. To pretend the non-smoking section is truly isolated as the web site suggests is laughable. We waited almost 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order, 35 minutes for salads and then received slightly warm chicken parm. With the price of the food, that of a top notch restaurant, I expect service and quality to match–we received neither.We went for my wife’s birthday and were sorely disappointed. I don’t expect to go to what purports to be a fancy restaurant and come home smelling like I’ve spent the evening in a bar. I will not recommend this restaurant and will certainly not return.
Okay, I actually have not eaten here. I tried-really! We got dressed up, drove and drove down Bailey Cove… When we hit the door there was NO WAY I could go in. I heard the food was good, but even that couldn’t get me past the overwhelming smell of cigar smoke. Maybe we could look into take out??? If you can’t tolerate smoke, don’t bother!
We have been several times and the quality is always excellent. If you are a Steak lover, the filet is noteworthy.
