The gravy that came with this chicken was honestly like heaven. There was more than enough food on the plate to take some home. The server, Andres, was absolutely amazing.

Nick’s Manhattan Beach was a perfect choice for our grown ups only lunch with my husband’s family. Parking was crazy during the time we went around 2pm. We were driving around for 15 minutes trying to find parking. Funny enough, we finally snagged a space in the parking lot across from Nick’s. 2 hour metered parking limit. Ugh. We had a reservation for 10 guests. They sat us at a big round table on the patio. Adeli was our lovely server and she was very sweet and attentive for the duration of our dining experience. Amazing service. The menu looked so good. Everything was pricey, especially considering it was only lunch time. But this is a nice restaurant too so the prices don’t really shock me either. I opted for the Chicken Katsu Salad. The salad had Chicken Katsu, mango, heirloom tomatoes, red peppers, crispy carrots, serrano peppers, peanuts, napa cabbage, arugula, asian cilantro dressing. Yummy! I was super happy with my choice because the presentation was on point but more importantly, all the flavors complimented each other. The textures of this salad were on point. Chicken Katsu was fresh and crispy and was a nice touch to the salad all in all. The Blackened Fish Sandwich was a popular item. I almost ordered that too but all the salads looked unique and tasty. Prime Rib Dip Sandwich looked appealing too as I’m a big fan of French Dip sandwiches all in all. It was a nice day out with the grown ups and no kids. Nick’s was the perfect spot with delicious food, good drinks, great service and the whole vibe/ambiance. I would highly recommend this spot for a nice meal. DO IT!!!

Had lunch today & as good as advertised. Gin and Collin’s very refreshing. Appetizer crispy rice tuna was good, chicken sandwich very good and big enough to share. And the kale salad was the star of the show. We will be back

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nick's, and it was an exceptional experience. The environment inside is warm, comfortable, and friendly, making you feel right at home. The standout feature, however, is the patio. It offers incredible people-watching views, especially with the perfect weather we enjoyed during our visit. The service was remarkable from start to finish. Every staff member we interacted with was attentive and genuinely pleasant. As for the food and drinks, they did not disappoint. The Real Fruit Vodka Strawberry Lemonade was refreshingly delicious, striking just the right balance of flavors. For dinner, I opted for the salmon, and it was impeccably prepared. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen's skill and attention to detail. The entire meal was perfect in every way—I couldn't have made it better myself. Overall, Nick's provided an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere.

This was my first time eating at this establishment. I will say it was Wonderful. From the host to our waiter. I loved it so much it’ll be in my top 10. We tried a little bit of everything. I never had to ask for my water to be refilled. I will be Celebrating my Birthday at Nick’s. Everything was first class/top tier. I’m am so grateful that I attended my nieces birthday dinner. Thanks Nick’s for a wonderful dinner. You guy’s Rock!!!! 💜

We came for a casual dinner and accidentally bought the Austin Hope experience — aka the most regretful bottle on the wine list. I can’t believe they still serve it; it tastes like grapes that went through an identity crisis. That said, the bar was lively, the crowd was local, and the food was solid — not “write-home-about-it” amazing, but good enough to make you forget (almost) about the wine. Definitely feels like a neighborhood go-to spot for an easy night out… just maybe stick to cocktails. 🍸

We had an enjoyable lunch at Nick’s in manhattan beach on a Saturday morning. Service was great. Coffee was cold, so the had to brew a new batch for us. I tried the fish sandwich. It was ok 3.5/5. Nothing to write home about. I also tried a bit a the chicken katsu salad. 4/5. To much going on in it. Way too many mangoes. The spicy tuna crispy rice appy was decent but not sure if it was worth $19. All in all not bad but I think there are better options in the area.

Wonderful Evening! We had such a lovely evening at Nick Manhattan Beach! The food was delicious, and the portions were generous – exactly what we were hoping for. From starters to dessert, everything was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The location is fantastic – close to the beach with a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. On top of that, the staff were incredibly hardworking, friendly, and attentive. Their warm energy really added to the whole experience. We’re definitely coming back and will recommend this place to friends and family. Thank you, Nick Manhattan Beach!

Family friendly and consistent ! The menu has a ton of variety and can accommodate most. The ambiance is nice but not too showy. The sushi is a nice new addition to the menu.

Salmon was fresh but was dry and overcooked. The sea bass however was cooked perfectly. The California salad and Mai Tai were also excellent. Service was good.

We were seated at a booth at the bar more than half an hour after our reservation time for a booth inside. The younger people at the reception desk must be trained properly to understand that sometimes a booth/table needs to stay unoccupied (if necessary) to ensure a guest with reservation can be seated within the specified grace period.
