Nick's Riverside Grill

Visited Nick's as part of a DC/White House tour group. Our group of 37 was quickly greeted, seated and served. We were seated in the glass enclosure patio facing the Harbor. Even though the December day we visited was gloomy, it was picturesque. Our meals were preselected as part of our tour, however, several of us ordered cocktails and other food items from the menu. Everything was served timely and at the appropriate temperature. Hot food was hot, salads were chilled, desserts room temp to cool. I found the staff to be the highlight. Really cordial and respectful while hustling! The kept glasses full and returned with additional items requested quickly. We had three main servers and several others assisted with serving and clearing dishes between courses. I'd love to visit again during warmer weather.

Just stopped for happy hour drinks on a beautiful October weekday. Great setting and for DC great drink prices during happy hour. The other big plus is the bartender was pouring strong drinks. One of my favorite places to enjoy the view of the Potomac and the planes coming and going at Reagan Airport.

I wish we'd read the reviews before going here. Just like it of the patrons mentioned, you're really only paying for the view. So if you want to satisfy a craving with tasty food, you might need to look elsewhere. They have a limited menu, and the food/drinks were mediocre at best. The double cheeseburger burger is comparable to fast food. I would say though that the wings were decent and a good portion. The cocktail was mediocre too, nothing special. Dilute lemonade, not freshly squeezed. Our server was polite and well informed. Beware of the bees outside, though. Apart from that you can enjoy the boats passing by and people watching too - 2.5.

The DJ said "they don't want us to play hip hop like that" and that was after I asked him why they kept cutting off every hip hop song before the female rap / hip hop artist verses came on.Mind you I was the main one getting the party started and spent $$$$! NEVER AGAIN! Bc does this mean you don't want MINORITIES or just WOMEN? I need help in understanding and want a refund!

Came here with my husband for a working lunch! I love coming here for it's proximity to the water and it's my favorite place to go during a weekday when it's not packed and the waterfront is the most serene. The lunch and service is always good. I highly recommend this place for a nice weekday lunch - it's exactly what you expect.

Outdoor bar in the summer can be mighty hot! The cement/concrete bar top retains heat and melts your iced beverage or warms your beer. In the winter this is a great idea! Try the price Edward mussels, which are sautéed in a classic wine and butter sauce. The nachos are obnoxiously huge and messy and great for a party of 4-6. The bar staff are always friendly, keep a well stocked outdoor bar and there is plenty of seating.

First, let's talk about the views from the restaurant--they're absolutely stunning! It's the perfect spot to enjoy a meal after a relaxing stroll along the water. I ordered the crab cakes, and they were not only huge but also incredibly delicious. Despite the busy day, my food came out quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!

Stopped by to chat with a friend on a Friday evening.There is a parking garage that costs about $23+We sat at the bar. Drinks were good. Place is huge

Nick's is a great place to visit if you're visiting the DC Georgetown area. They offer a number of things on the menu. They have a bar inside but also offer outdoor/patio seating. The service honestly is a little hectic but they seem to manage things pretty well. I did not wait too long for food or drinks even on such a busy weekend. The food was great and I definitely will be back

Overall: 2/5 Food: 2/5 - I came here with my boyfriend and family and we got a couple of dishes to share family style - the alfredo pasta with salmon ($19 + $11 for the smallest salmon fillet), Louisiana style bbq shrimp ($30), pork chops and jerk half chicken ($32). Everything tasted average - borderline bad. The pasta sauce was so thick- floury - that it made me feel sick while eating it. It tasted like an undercooked roux mixed in with the smallest salmon fillet. The pork chops were dry and the half chicken was pretty small for the price. The rice that came with the shrimp tasted mushy and overdone, like it came from an instant rice container. The flavor was bad and not fresh for any of the foods.Value: 1/5 - All the food tasted bad for the high price. I would not come back or recommend even if everything was half off.Service : 3/5 - The staff seemed fine but nothing extraordinary.Overall, the only thing going for this place is the location - being right on the waterfront. Everything else was very lacking and lackluster and would not come back or recommend.
