Was great! You get a ton of food for the amount you pay for. The food itself is very very tasty and the presentation is top-notch. The atmosphere is amazing as well, being right next to the harbor you get a good view. The only down side, which itself isn't even a downside for a lot of people, is it's a little loud as it doubles as a bar. So if you can get over stimulated easy by loud noise, it's something to keep in mind. Regardless I'd still go, this is place is a gem I wouldn't want to overlook.

One of the most delicious mushroom burgers I have ever had. Succulent and missing nothing. We also had the fish and chips and we were sufficiently impressed. We are coming back and bringing others.

My husband and I have been coming to Nicki's for years for dinner. Today was the first time sneaking away for lunch together. We absolutely love all the staff and of course the food never fails. Hannah and Darcy are fantastic, always so welcoming with warm hellos and great suggestions.

I love this place. It has great food and an old school atmosphere. The ribeye steak special was cooked perfectly and the ribs were on point.

We went tonight and we're lucky to have a glimpse of the sun shining on the water around the boats, just beautiful! We shared the Mad Burger and fish and chips. Both were fantastic and full of flavor. We do prefer more crispy fries but they weren't bad. The atmosphere is something you can just stay for long periods of time very laid back. It was a great experience all around!

Great atmosphere and views. Food was fantastic. We split a 1lb burger and fish and chips. Both were fantastic. I wasn't the biggest fan of the steak fries, just aren't my style. I did ask for them extra crispy, but they didn't seem like they were cooked any longer than normal. Definitely recommended!

Had a great time. The fish and chips were amazing, and the burger was delicious. This is one of my favorite places to get a great burger now. The server was super friendly and made time to talk with us. She made us an amazing adult boozy milkshake. It was kind of like a white Russian. So delicious!
