" After hearing both good and bad things about Niko's, I decided to check it out for myself. When I entered, I was pleasantly surprised by the cozy yet modern vibe. It took a little while to get seated since it was busy, but the staff was friendly and acknowledged the wait. When I got my food, the fish fry was surprisingly tasty with a crispy coating and not overly greasy. However, I was a bit let down by the side dishes which were just okay, lacking creativity. All in all, the experience was good enough for me to consider going back, even if I wasn't completely blown away by the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Niko's Grill & Pub and it was truly a memorable experience! The atmosphere was perfect with soft lighting and beautiful decorations. I ordered the prime rib, which was cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful. My friends tried the broasted chicken and the crab cakes and they were also impressed. The highlight of the evening was definitely the dessert - the homemade carrot cake was out of this world! I cannot recommend this place enough for a special occasion. The service was excellent, and they even surprised me with a little birthday treat! I will definitely be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Niko's with my partner for an anniversary dinner, and I was excited based on recommendations. While the ambiance shone with a romantic feel, the food was disappointing. I had a meatloaf, but it tasted cold and more pre-packaged than homemade. On the flip side, the chocolate dessert we shared afterward was rich and delightful! I appreciated the effort put into the atmosphere; nevertheless, the food quality has much room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" My grandkids and I visited Niko's this past weekend for a fun family meal. We were greeted promptly by a friendly hostess, and our server was equally pleasant. We ordered a variety of dishes, like ribs, burgers, and several appetizers. Unfortunately, the burgers were bland, and the ribs were dry which was disappointing. One of my grandkids commented that the food tasted like it had been warmed up rather than freshly made. We also had a long wait for dessert, but the brownie sundae was delightful! I think the place needs to work on their food preparation because we left feeling unsatisfied, though the smiles on my grandkids' faces made it a worthwhile outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Niko's Grill had caught my attention after spotting the drool-worthy pictures online, so I knew I had to make a stop. The interior exuded a chic yet relaxed vibe that set the right mood. I tried their ribeye steak, and I can confidently say it was one of the best I have had in recent memory! Cooked just right and seasoned perfectly with delightful sides. The service was equally commendable, and I felt taken care of throughout my meal. Overall, a definite must-try if you are in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was recommended by a friend who swore by their broasted chicken, so I decided to give it a whirl. The restaurant itself is quite charming, with a pleasant ambiance that makes you feel welcome as soon as you step in. The service was prompt and attentive. When it came to food, my experience was a pleasant surprise. The broasted chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, served with a generous portion of mash potatoes that were infused with garlic flavor! I also tried their shrimp cocktail, which was delightful and fresh. Overall, I felt Niko's lived up to their reputation and I would eagerly return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Niko's with high expectations, especially after hearing so many good reviews. Our experience was less than perfect, as the food came out after a significant wait. The restaurant was busy, but when it arrived, I was disappointed to find the ribs had no flavor. It's unfortunate because the atmosphere was inviting and the server was friendly. They did apologize for the wait, but I hoped for more with my meal– I’m still on the fence about returning. " (*Curated Review*)
