Nick's at the Beach
Thank you for considering Nick's at the Beach. Founded in 1995 we have become a staple for locals and tourists alike. Located accross the street from the Ocean we offer some of the best and freshest seafood the Pacific has to offer. Our extensive menu is influenced by our neighbors to the south, and friends across the pacific. Unlike many of the big chains, we are not afraid to put flavor and spice into our dishes. So prepare yourself and your taste buds for a fun and relaxing evening with us. Not a seafood fan? Not to worry, we have you covered too with amazing pastas, steaks and chicken dishes.

"This was our first visit and was our monthly thank you lunch from the owners of our business. We were the only people in the restaurant. Although the food was good and the service was friendly, it took forever for our order to come out of the kitchen and we had to ask for the bill when it was time to leave. It did not seem they were prepared to serve lunch so they must not be used to doing business at that time of day. We arrived at 11:30 and did not leave until after 1pm.
We'd hoped that since the name was Nicks at the Beach there wouldv'e been a better view. Instead of the Ocean or Beach, it was homeless folks walking up the street. I'm not sure if I'll be back.
Maybe dinner or the upstairs bar would be a better idea?"

"We had mothers day here. It was a cold windy day and they sat us outside. The food was good, but I would have preferred to have gone there on a warmer day. Staff was nice and tried to take care of our needs under less than optimal conditions."

"The daily special - blackened albacore - was delicious. So was the bread pudding. I would recommend this place."
