    Grape in the Fog is a Pacifica gem that deserves far more attention. They have a lovely selection of wine and a membership club for local regulars who enjoy a fine sip, but also like a little value. My buddy and I recently visited twice in as many weeks because it's just that good. The happy hour house red is a delicious bargain that makes no apology. The charcuterie board actually feeds two people quite well, unlike most places that give you a few crumbs of cheese and a slice of salami. Check the attached photo to see what I'm talking about. If you're not a wine drinker, you can check out the local Rockaway Beach IPA. Or one of the nonalcoholic options. They even have cake! Staff is friendly and efficient. Outdoor seating in the summer allows you to enjoy the sea air with your wine. Come by for the farmers' market on Wednesday and enjoy a glass after shopping for produce. Cheers!

    Sunday jazz - no cover charge. 4p-6p. Hubby & I attended a jazz performance Sunday afternoon at this wine bar. Our fellow taiko drum classmate Marlina Teich is a jazz musician and has her own trio. She plays jazz guitar and vocals. We entered around 3:45pm and several tables already occupied. We sat at a table where we had a good view of the trio. Food wise - * hubby & I both had local beers. He had a draft lager. Me a canned porter. * charcuterie board. This is a local hangout. Tucked away at the end of the street running parallel to Hwy 1. We'd love to come again. Maybe try a flight of wine next time. Easy street parking.

    Great wine and food. Perfect end to a hectic day. Onion soup, meatballs, small charcuterie, board was perfect.

    Wonderful first time experience. We met friends who are regulars, and they introduced us to owner Beth, who opened 10 years ago. It's a very calm environment. Good wines and good cheese! They're also dog-friendly. The space is beautifully decorated. I'll go there again with other friends.

    I am definitely giving this place 5 start review. Place is clean and super nice. Wine is good and deserts and food is very tasty. The beer very refreshing specially Laughing Monk Brewing, San Francisco CA I took a sparkling flight and there were very good all of the no exceptions. I got some Brie + Jam to go with this and I enjoy it. The service was kind and always making sure I had everything I needed. I recommend this place for sure and by the way, they had live music today, a nice relaxing music to go with the wine .

    We enjoyed live jazz (Marlina Teich) here on a Sunday afternoon, while trying the red wine flight (Valravn Pinot Noir, Domaine Moulin Nouvel, Iconic Zinfandel 'Old Gods'), and sharing some small bites, the Moro Melts with roasted tomato. These were way better than I expected, buttery and crisp, a nice crunch with the melted cheese and roasted tomato flavor blended in nicely, kinda like sundried tomatoes which I love, omg I would definitely return just for this. But the wines were decent too, our faves the Valravn Pinot Noir and Domaine Moulin Nouvel (not so much the Zinfandel, which was more subtle). The music was relaxing and added a nice touch to our experience. The employees were friendly and helpful, and provided sufficient service. And the setting was clean, casual and cozy, a welcoming atmosphere with your choice of seating. There's also a couple free parking lots nearby, in the Rockaway Beach Plaza for convenience.

    Came here because the menu seemed so cute and classy. Based on old Yelp pictures, the prices went up these past few months, which is understandable. However, I feel like the price just wasn't justified for what I was getting. Dessert wine (white port) $12: this was like rubbing alcohol. It had the aftertaste of a shot of vodka and the flavor of the actual grape was not there. I've had better dessert wine in a $10 bottle from BevMo, so this was quite the disappointment. I tried to finish it, but couldn't get myself to drink more than 3 sips. Left the rest. You'll have a much better chance of being satisfied drinking the Sauternes at Calave in Palo Alto. Mixed board $32 charcuterie meats + variety of cheeses: the ONE thing I can appreciate from this board was the local rosemary + orange jam. It was so unique and brought a really great, clean, juicy flavor to the board. The meats were prosciutto and a local salami. Both tasted as expected. The three cheeses included a triple cream Brie, goat cheese, and an imported Spanish cheese. I'm 99% sure this Spanish cheese came straight from the big Costco pack because I get that cheese so often. The flavor, texture, smell, and aesthetic were all that of the cheese pack from Costco. What..? Classic Baked Brie $22: said it was garnished with rosemary, but it wasn't. The honey wasn't drizzled--it was mixed in with the soupy balsamic. The bread was good, like a French baguette they threw in the air fryer. Crispy outer, soft and fluffy inner. Overall, I can't tell if I just chose the wrong wine to try, but it was an OK experience. Attire isn't quite "classy" as expected. The inside looks more like a cozy book + wine club than a fancy dining place. I would come back here on a day with live music or order different wine.

    We ordered two of the 'what the staff are drinking' mixed flights, and were very happy we did! We both got a different flight, and enjoyed each selection. I now have a new favorite Pinot Noir! The Charcuterie and Mediterranean Nibble were perfect for the two of us. We just wanted some good wine and a light dinner, in a relaxed but nice atmosphere. Home run!

    This place is the best to wine down. On Sundays they have a live band. Can get a bit loud but you can move to the back if you want to have a conversation. Service is great. They're sooo nice & friendly & informed us on some hiking spots. The place has Mediterranean vibe. It's very nice.

    This is not a wine shop it's a local hole selling bottles of wine. My husband's and I stopped here…read moreyesterday for a glass of wine before dinner. I was underwhelmed by their "by the glass" menu and settled on an Orange wine and my husband got a Sauvignon Blanc. We sat in the green velvet couches that felt like sitting in someone's basement. My husband took one sip of his wine and it was terrible, I took a sip and it smelled like it was turning. He went back to get a different glass and the owner reluctantly poured him a Rose. We sat and had two glasses each, about $60. When I went to pay, the owner said that she wanted to be "transparent" and was still charging me for half of the awful first glass we took back. I told her I tasted it and it was terrible. She was extremely rude about it. If you were being "transparent" you would have told me that before pouring another glass. So she charged me $6-7 when I would have tipped $10-12 on the tab and I'll never go back there again. That's just someone that doesn't know how to run a business. Don't go here, like the other reviews stated, it's really just for locals. I overheard the owner saying to someone she got a case of some wine cheap because the labels were misprinted. So they are running a cheap wine shop. If you go here, make sure you taste anything before you buy or you will be charged even if the wine has turned. Although, I wanted to taste the reisling and the owner told me the bottle wasn't opened yet and it was super sweet, she wouldn't let me taste it. Like she was assuming I wouldnt like it. This isn't a wine shop, more like a liquor store.

    We came here, on 9/24/2026, for lunch while visiting Pacifica. It is right by Rockaway Beach…read more Nick's is known for its famous Crab sandwich. We made reservations ahead of time because I read other reviews about how busy this place can get. And good thing we did, because it was packed in there. We were warmly greeted when we checked in at the front and taken to our table. They had a reserved sign on our table right by the window facing the ocean. We really appreciated them saving us such a wonderful table with a view. Our waitress Sara, came by and brought us menus and introduced herself. She told us the specials and gave us some time to make a decision. I loved her. Sara was awesome, hilarious and gave some good advice on some menu items, which I appreciated. I decided to get the famous crab sandwich. I got the half portion with the side salad and a cup of clam chowder. My husband ordered one of the specials, which was the chicken piccata as well as a cup of clam chowder. I also ordered an iced tea. Our clam chowders arrived first. It was so good. We both enjoyed them. It had a lot of clams in it. It was delicious and comforting. Our entrees came out shortly after our chowders. Thank goodness I ordered the half portion of the crab sandwich because it was huge. It was full of crab and it was delicious. The sourdough bread had been grilled with butter and the crab had a very light amount of mayo, as it should, so you can taste the fresh crab. I noticed a lot of people leaving negative reviews that the crab had no flavor or it was bland. This is exactly how you're supposed to enjoy a fresh crab sandwich. The more stuff added to the sandwich takes away the flavor of what you want to experience, which is the crab. The crab was definitely the star here. This is the best crab sandwich I've ever had. They were very generous with the portion of crab, I received, for a half sandwich. The sandwich was on the pricey side but that's expected, because crab isn't cheap. It was worth the price, to me. My husband's chicken piccata looked really good and came with a side of asparagus and pasta. He loved it. We both ate all of our food and were pleased and stuffed. The inside of this restaurant is very old fashioned and retro. You can tell that it has been here for a long time. It is decorated with a nautical theme. I thought it made the experience even better. I highly recommend coming here, if you're in the area. The food was amazing and customer service was excellent.

Coming to Nicks is relaxing and fun. It does feel a little bit like coming back in time with the wood paneling and big booths and that is part of the charm. Nicks is a Pacifica and Bay Area gem- they do not make restaurants like this anymore! Highly recommend the crab sandwich- get the full size one and it's enough to talk home half and have for an amazing lunch the next day. We also love the caesar salad- made with real anchovies and AMAZING caesar dressing- I have been trying to recreate the Nick's dressing at home without success. Shout out to Jim the waiter who is completely charming and kind and so nice to all his customers. We saw him helping an elderly gentleman with his walker all the way out the front door and then singing happy birthday to another diner. He is a class-act! Also the bartenders make an excellent lemon drop martini- it has freshly squeezed lemons, is always ice cold and the perfect swirl of rind accenting the glass. They really nail the perfect balance of crisp bright tartness with the sweet sugar on the rim. Be sure to leave extra time to come early and walk along the beach or linger after dinner and watch the waves and the sunset. You can see whales from the parking lot! This is a family place where you will see all generations dining. Yes it does sort of have "Boomer vibes" in a nostalgic way but that is part of the old fashioned charm of the place. The food and service are top notch and it's a top notch enjoyable evening! Friday and Saturday nights they also have live bands with couples dancing the music is always good even if you are just sitting in the dining room it is fun to hear and the dancing looks so fun! Great crab sandwich, cold cocktails, warm service, ocean views, music, and dancing... love Nick's!

Our server was really nice though, which definitely helped make the experience better. The food itself was pretty good! Our sandwiches were flavorful and satisfying, and the matcha I got was good too. I can definitely see why this place gets busy, especially on a Saturday morning.

Just keep in mind that if you're coming during a busy time, it may not be the best spot for a quick bite.

I'm a sucker for mushrooms and my five year old who is picky af likes them too. She enjoyed her slice. I felt the pizza was delicious but could use some parm and pepper flakes. We also ordered the Brooklyn. Omg, my favorite pizza now surpassing Blue Line's White Pie on my list. Pepperoni, jalapenos, basil, ricotta (omg!), and hot honey. Salivating just thinking about it. Downed these slices with a pint and the rest was history. I do have to note that the booths and tables were full of crumbs. Understandable as it's a pizzeria, but it would be nice for someone to clean in between guests. The staff member behind the bar had served us our meal and drinks as well and he was very kind. We will definitely be coming back to Industry!
