Just WOW. We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary here last night with a dinner for 2. I researched a ton of restaurants before choosing Nicks for our special evening. They did not disappoint in the slightest. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and then the manager, Anthony, came out to personally welcome us and seat us at our table. Luckily, it wasn't too busy at the time so they were able to accommodate our request for a booth. We had David as our waiter and he was equally kind and attentive. They let us know that my sister had called in and paid for a gift card to treat us for dinner and we are so grateful they allowed her to do that. It made the night all the more special. Not to mention, the staff signed a card for our anniversary. Yes, I cried. lol. It's so rare to receive that level of service these days, just above and beyond. The food and drinks were PHENOMENAL. We started with the deviled eggs and asparagus fries which were to die for. I had the cucumber Collin's and berry mojito to drink and they were the best cocktails I've had in a long time. For dinner my husband had the filet with a salad and asparagus. He said it was the best steak he's had in years, done just right. I had the chicken piccata and it was absolutely incredible to the last bite. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience and will remember it forever. Thank you to the staff for a job very well done!

We basically drove all the way up here to North County to try their famous butter cake.Verdict: Butter cake *slightly* over hyped. The service, ambiance, and the rest of the food pretty good.The flavor of the butter cake was very rich and flavorful, and complimented by the ice cream really well. The only downside is that the cake is a little bit on the dry side.We also got the tuna tartare (great), the fried chicken with mashed potatoes (amazing), and prime rib dip sandwich (average).

We had a really nice intimate dinner here. The food was delicious, the ambiance was elegant, and the service was excellent! We ordered the cioppino, halibut, Thai chicken salad, loaded potato skins with caviar, and spinach dip. Everything was delish!

Here again! Always a great place to go for quality food that you know will be amazing every time. We love to eat inside at the booth tables. Parking can be full at times, but we always like to go to the top floor, where there's plenty of parking, then take the elevator down a few floors and we're at Nick's. I wish I remembered our waitress's name but we've had her before. She's amazing and very kind with a soft voice. She knows we always want ranch with our fries.

I'd been suspicious of this place (very pricey, loud One Paseo) and liked it more than I expected to. The portions are huge, the food is tasty. With $42-ish entrees, though, it's not really fine dining - it's like a very noisy bistro. I decided the right way to describe it is: upscale LA/Orange County chain restaurant with steak, seafood and cocktails. It's people-pleasing in an upscale comfort food way but still very tasty. And it's noisier and with a more casual vibe than Seasons 52 though it's pricier. PATIO: This was not my favorite patio. It's not a true patio; part of one wall is open to the walkway in One Paseo, but the other parts are covered with plastic window treatments. So if you're trying to be COVID-safe this is more like indoor dining with some air. It's also super noisy, but we still had a nice time.SERVICE: Extremely nice and professional, from the hostesses to the bussers. Natalya took our water orders and was really nice. Our server seemed sweet but had the quietest voice - which was hard on this very noisy patio. If I had heard her name, I could encourage the manager to tell her to not whisper!COCKTAIL: Got the BLACK AND BLUE MOJITO. Tasty drink, fruit muddled well, super weak, I think. (I enjoyed it very much but felt no buzz!). They topped me off with some complimentary club soda since I had lots of the muddled fruit left once the lime juice/"rum" in the drink was gone.APPETIZERS: We were both very happy with our apps. SO got the soup of the day, which was a puréed French onion soup (so a different texture, with no onion pieces, but apparently very delicious. He was very happy. I got the PETITE BISTRO SALAD, with champagne vinaigrette (usually it comes with a mustard bacon dressing). HUGE and delicious. Since I'd been wary of this place, that told me why people like it here. Only $9 too. You could meet a friend here for lunch with that & maybe add on some fish or chicken and be very happy.ENTREES: SO got chicken piccata ($27). I got the sea bass ($42). (SO had been given a gift card - why not use it up?). Both portions were *huge* and came with mashed potatoes. I really liked the sauteed spinach and the seabass itself (which had a nice carmelized crust). And they were both *hot* which I appreciate (lukewarm food is annoying). The mashed potatoes, though, were hella salty. #StillIAteThem, but now I feel bloated. My SO said "those mashed potatoes were so salty" was one of my most repeated sentences after the meal LOL. SO loved his chicken piccata. DESSERT: I was already full (did I mention there were a lot of mashed potatoes and they were salty?). But SO decided to get the famous butter cake. The butter cake is HUGE and warm - but also SO sweet. Way too sweet even for my SO who likes less-subtle desserts than I do... #StillIAteTooMuchOfIt (are you noticing a theme?). Like the mashed potatoes, it was nice warm comfort food and with a good texture, even if we both kept saying "this is way too sweet."I noticed that other people got sourdough bread, which looked very beautiful. It wasn't listed on the menu to order & no one brought us any. It's just as well (did I mention the mashed potatoes were SALTY & I'm bloated). But just a note that maybe someone forgot ours.Overall, my SO was crazier about this place than I was. Not a big fan of the patio, and the giant portions made it too easy to eat past being full. But I liked my cocktail; loved my salad; and the seabass itself was excellent. Staff is nice too. I wish the patio was more open-air! I am not positive if I'll come back but SO will definitely do business or friend lunches here - and I'm glad to see if it was better than I was expecting!

We sat at the bar for this visit. The kitchen has an open concept so we got to watch all the different dishes come out. We had the Tuna Tartar, which was fresh and delicious! An espresso martini and an IPA. Food and drinks came out quick. Lots of people around us ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken or the Belmont Club so those may be good choices to try. Can't wait to come back for dinner and try more of the menu. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but they do have a patio, indoor seating, and indoor/outdoor bar seating.

Came here to celebrate a family member's birthday. I had the mahi mahi sandwich and was blown away by the portion size! It tasted fresh and flavorful. Th fish was cooked perfectly. We had the asparagus fries which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. For dessert we tried the butter cake, it was decadent, but not overpowering because the ice cream balanced it out. I'd recommend trying the butter cake if you like the blend of warm and cool textures! The restaurant has a pretty atmosphere, perfect for a nice dinner out or date night! The server was attentive and the food came out quickly.

Everything was great. We had reservations and sat us down pretty much when we got there on a Saturday night. We celebrated a birthday. Everyone's entree looked great. We sat near the bar which is in the middle of the restaurant. I had the special which was the crusted Mahi. The wife said the Chilean Sea Bass was great. I had the old fashioned and it was strong. Can't wait to go again

Had an amazing dinner at Nicks Del Mar. Started off with a Jalapeño watermelon margarita that was super fresh and tasty. Had the spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer. I've never had it sever before with sour cream and salsa- but mixed the three and it was pretty tasty! We happened to sit near the kitchen and had the opportunity of checking out what many of the dishes looked like before we ordered. Right off the bat I saw the chicken piccata and was sold! I contemplated the fried chicken and the bistro plate but decided to stick with my initial thought and order the chicken piccata. I'm glad I did. Not only was the dish flavorful and delicious it was a lot of food! The chicken was super tender and the mashed potatoes perfectly whipped! My husband got the seafood cioppino and we shared! Oh my goodness! That was an awesome bowl of seafood. It had quite a few mussels, a couple clams, white fish, shrimp, and salmon. The sauce was really good! Relaxed and enjoyed a Spicy Passion Fruit Martini while digesting my plentiful dinner! The service was great, the restaurant clean and good at atmosphere! I'll definitely be back and most likely try the fried chicken or bistro plate! We came around 4:30
