    Belated Birthday lunch. Downside: Parking. This is a seaside tourist/residential area, so limited parking even in lots. The earlier you go, the better. Nick's did not disappoint with food selections or service. It was outstanding..and reasonable I thought!

    My mom has been raving about this place since her friend took her a few weeks ago. We went yesterday for late lunch around 3:00 p.m., it was an awkward time so the restaurant was fairly empty and we were able to sit right away. My mom ordered the Thai chicken salad and I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. I tried some of my mom's Thai chicken salad and I will agree with the hype, the flavor combination is pretty amazing and tasted very traditional and authentic. It's a little spicy with the red pepper which gives it a perfect kick! My sandwich was good as well, it was cut into three big pieces. Overall the portion sizes are fairly big! I was really surprised and very happy with it. It's a very chic and nice restaurant on the Main Street in San clemente. Less than a mile from the ocean so great spot for post Beach activities. Just make sure you dress appropriately, they won't let you in if you're just wearing beach swimsuits.

    Nick’s is the the place to be. I enjoyed the service we were offered, the promptness in bringing out drinks, appetizers, main courses and filling up waters. I got the Ribeye melt and it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had hands down. They serve Hank’s Root Beer for those who are root beer snobs and as far as appetizers goes, the spinach and artichoke dip along with the Deviled Eggs were both great options. We got both! Others in my party got the Fried Chicken which was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. Others got the Calimari as a starter as well as the Prime Rib sandwhich. The butter cake is a must and they even brought out a small chocolate cake for my birthday without us asking, it was so nice of them! Will be coming here again!!
