Nico's - Long Beach

Upscale small and ambient place to enjoy a very good meal and cozy accommodations with plush booths and covid separators.Great attention to detail in decorum and quality staff. That's saying much for restaurants and their labor challenges and inflated prices these days.My friend and I split a Ceasars salad with anchovies (anchovies, not my idea), and the main course we split also, which was Chilean sea bass. It was very good but a tad salty which explains the 4/5 star rating along with the location itself. You can find parking in a residential area across the street but with that location (options are few) just go around the block since it is a one way street where you can park, parallel to 2nd Street.Overall, a lovely dining experience. Hassle with the parking and crossing the boulevard but it's like NYC that way only so much better. As for the sodium, maybe it's just me with the entrée. Oh, and the anchovies, but that was not their fault!Nice place ?

We had a great experience here! Delicious food, our server was so nice, and we just had a great time overall. I had the lobster linguini which was amazing, but everyone loved what they ordered.

The lavender fields cocktail is my absolute favorite. They also change their soup daily. The staff was extra friendly and the bar patrons made for a wonderful evening/ atmosphere.

Great place. The food is amazing. Well trained staff and very knowledgeable about their fare and adult beverages. Please do not take my word for it, please try it yourself.

We celebrated my husband's birthday and Taylor our server took excellent care of us. What a terrific dinner for us. Thank you again, we will be back!!Douglas
