Really good (but don't be late!)
We got caught in traffic en route to our early dinner so called them. "As long as you are here within 15 minutes of your reservation you will be fine, but we cannot hold the table any longer than that". Got there 13 minutes late, I jumped out of the car while the others parked and luckily they gave us our table. Service was very good, water glasses kept full. Salads, Rib eye sandwich (with yummie horseradish sauce) and fried chicken were devoured. Everyone was quite pleased. Make your reservations well in advance. We were coming from an event and needed a 5PM table for a Sunday, booking a week ahead of time and were lucky to get a 4:30 seating.

We loved it here. We visited while staying at Newport Beach. It was a recommendation and didn't disappoint. We sat at the brand the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. The bar tenders pleasant but not intrusive. The cocktails were very nice, and the food we both had was perfect. Chilean sea bass for me and pork ribs for my hubby. We also had some superb appetisers and a nice bottle of wine. we didn't book but arrived just before 5pm. It really filled up by half 5/6 so I reckon you would need to book to go later. We are on holiday from the UK, so won't be regular visitors but will definitely go back next time we visit orange county as we loved it.

The people are very nice and atmosphere buzzing but I found my meal to be oily and overcooked. The Chilean sea bass was practically soaked through in oil to where I would press my fork on it and you could see the oil deep through. It had no flavor. The sautéed vegetables also very oily and broccoli over cooked. The tuna tartare appetizer was very tasty and I had some of my friend’s filet and it was cooked perfectly. One of my friends had the salmon and loved it. For me, this just isn’t a return experience.

We first came in after making a reservation and hearing good things about this restaurant. We got greeted with a rude waiter and the service was terrible and even the next table apologized for her home state on how the waiter treated us . I will never refer them or come again. The worst restaurant I have ever been to
Be the first to ReplyBest food and service in Laguna
Stayed in Laguna Beach with another couple for three days last month. We all agree that Nick’s was the stand-out treat. Everything (appetizers, fish sandwich, seafood “stew”) was excellent. The sea bass was outstanding. And the butter cake was AWESOME! The service at Nick’s is top notch too…professional, knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, the vibe is great. Initially, we felt it was a bit pricey but after dining at other restaurants in the area, felt it was also the best value for a nice night out.

My sister, her boyfriend and I had lunch at Nick's Laguna Beach. The restaurant is located across the street from the ocean - how can you go wrong. It was our first visit and it will not be the last. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich w/fries ....probably the best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had. My sister and her boyfriend ordered the blackened fish sandwich w/fries and they loved it. Great ambience. Service was great. Prices are reasonable. If you are ever in Laguna Beach and are looking for a great restaurant, then I would suggest a visit to Nick's!

We were visiting Laguna Beach from Florida and Las Vegas and we all were happy with our food. Good and fast service! Thai spicy salad is a bomb!! My husband really enjoyed Chicken fried chicken 🐔 Chicken tortillas soup was very good as well.

Came to the area on a business trip and wanted to find a place for dinner. As always, did a quick look on TripAdvisor to see if any nearby good restaurants….and found this gem. Service was five star, along with the food. Highly recommend the quinoa kale salad (so good I will do my best to make something similar at home). Prices totally reasonable. A must if in the area. Great location/place for a dinner with your special someone. I am already planning my trip back!

We stopped in here for lunch and it was a great dining experience.The Chilean Sea Bass was amazing.The service was excellent as well.
Be the first to Replyfantastic meal, even with gluten and dairy allergies
Met a friend for lunch, and we both ordered salads. I have gluten and dairy allergies, but got the basic salad, which was chopped, and added slices of steak and avocado to it, and ditched the cheese. Dressing was great, salad very nicely presented. My friend got the chinese salad with chidken, which was cute and served with chopsticks. Really lovely plating in the dishes, nice server, everything perfect. I will return.
Be the first to ReplyDreaming of their warm butter cake -- so so good......
We discovered Nick's by doing research online. Went there for lunch while vacationing in Laguna in Feb. This is a popular place! Had a bit of a wait, but the staff were very attentive and kept us informed of when our table would be available. Restaurant has a great vibe, very cool interior design but it's their food and staff that really make the place. Our server was Ruth and she was amazing! She had great suggestions for our meal, and checked in just the right amount. Outstanding service! Food came out relatively quickly for such a busy place. I had the house-made veggie burger and wow! We also had the prime rib dip and bistro plate which has a small filet mignon, small bowl of soup and a small salad. All were delicious. Nick's also has a fabulous drinks list but it was an early lunch so maybe a little too early for cocktails for us. (smile) We topped off our lunch with their warm butter cake -- I am still thinking about it. Holy deliciousness!
Highly, highly recommend this restaurant for dining for your trip to Laguna. It's on the main drag so easy to walk to if you're staying in town. Reservations a good idea but not required.
Good for Lunch@!
Always enjoy this friendly restaurant with appreciative management and good service.
Really enjoyed the Prime Rib Melt with a side of Au Jus. Good fries as well.
The letdown was two-fold involving the cocktails. How in the world do you not have any Tanqueray or Bombay. Henderson’s or Beefeater is your go to? Kind of ridiculous. Secondary is the price $14 plus tax and gratuity is the most ridiculous pricing ever. You’re a good restaurant, why rip off on the drinks? Disappointed.
Great burger in Laguna Beach
Just had lunch here. We were looking for a great hamburger for lunch. Read good reviews about Nick’s. My wife and I shared the burger and we’ll, Nick’s did not disappoint. It was great. We had them do ours on a brioche bun, med-rare. Perfect.
I also had to try their mai tai, and it was also truly great. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.
100% YES
We enjoyed a completely impressive meal at Nick’s! We started with yummy cocktails then tried the deviled eggs and asparagus appetizers. Both were fabulous! The prime rib sandwich was amazing as was the butter cake and cappuccino. Seriously…try them all, you won’t be sorry!
Be the first to ReplyAs good as it gets.
While staying in Newport Coast we did a short drive to Laguna Beach and lunched here at Nicks. The service was outstanding, with both our wait staff as well as management checking on us to confirm all was well, and it was. My Prime Rib sandwich was excellent. My wife’s chicken sandwich was huge and equally good. As is typical of the area, the prices were high, but in this case, worth the extra expense.
Be the first to ReplyNothing notable Nick’s
There were 4 of us and we had 4 different entrees. Each of us liked our food but no raves about it. The service was excellent and attentive to our needs. The prices were average for the area. It was noisy inside so we chose to sit outside and it was quite comfortable. There are a lot of restaurants in the area and we would probably try others before returning.
Be the first to ReplyOH MY GOD…THE NOISE!!…WHAT?!?!…I SAID, THE NOISE!!!!
The food was good. The service was good. The noise level was off the charts! My ears were ringing for an hour after. We could barely communicate with the wait staff and forget about any conversation at the table. There are noisy, festive restaurants, but this was nuts! It was not enjoyable. I’d only eat there again if I knew I was sitting on the patio out front.
Be the first to ReplyLove the food and ambience, but our Server was Surly
I’ve been to Nick’s several times and always enjoy the experience. The food is excellent and the wine is incredibly low priced.
Bad service is rare in any nice restaurant, and especially rare iaT Nick!s. Our server appeared very unhappy to be there and took it out on us. When we asked for water and didn’t get it, she scolded us that they were out of glasses and she would get to it when they got more glasses. When the steak on one of the meals with undercooked and I said “excuse me” to get her attention, she turned around angrily and responded back to me with an irritated “What?” Same as you might say to a small child that keeps asking a lot of questions. I can go on… But you get the drift. Her service the entire evening was unfriendly and unprofessional. In essence, she was not nice and it shows. Worse, though, she was training a new server. The few interactions we had with the new server were excellent. So I am hoping that the new server recognizes bad service and does not emulate her mentor.
In retrospect, we should’ve mentioned her service, or lack there of, to the manager. It was the only negative in an otherwise wonderful evening.
Fantastic Dinner for 4!
Such a great restaurant! We have been here 10 days and this one tops the list for us! The food was great, the staff was awesome and the drinks were spot on! It was a little hot inside but otherwise a great experience!
Be the first to ReplyNice location
Music is a bit high, quite a loud restaurant
Beautiful view, mountain from one side and beach from the other. The salty nachos they serve is really good, It took the food more than 30 minutes to be served. Meat was a bit hard the food was ok not that good.
Waitresses r very friendly
There is a bar in the middle of the place
You can go after to a walk
Don’t recommend it for meetings and for families with babies
