When I looked at their menu and saw their high ratings, I decided that we should go there for lunch after we were done in Jerome. Before lunch, we walked around the area for a bit to enjoy the nice Cottonwood weather, then headed back as opening time approached. When we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the hostess and requested a table on the patio. They were more than happy to give us a seat on the patio with views of many cars passing by while we relaxed outside. Our server was very nice and helpful, and when I mentioned that I wanted to get the Cire's pizza, he said it was one of their best-selling pizzas. I could see exactly why it was one of their top pizzas. Everything tasted fresh, and I thought the crust had one of the best textures of any wood-fired pizza I have ever had. While I unfortunately was unable to finish it due to the huge breakfast from earlier in Jerome, the pizza was still delicious. I also enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. If anyone is looking for a great pizza place in Cottonwood, I recommend Pizzeria Bocce.

I wasn't overly impressed with the pizza for the price. The ingredients, especially the cheese, seemed to be used very sparingly to say the least, but it wasn't bad. They serve really big slices individually, so that may be the better deal. The cheesesteak with fries was much better. Really good sandwich and fries. The employees were very friendly. I'll check it out again.

When I came back to pick up my pizza, she was on the phone, while my pizza got cold. She was taking an order but should have put them on hold and grabbed my order because they were taking forever and by the time I got it, it was cold. Also when she finally went to the back to get it, she was talking and talking to the guys while my pizza kept getting colder. Then she didn't say a word as she handed it to me without even making eye contact in a blatant attempt to let me know she did not like her job of handing me my pizza. If the pizza was great I might have overlooked all that but it was a flat, overcooked cardboard with almost no toppings. Very stingy with cheese and sauce, like I had to make an effort to find any sauce or cheese on the thing. Please just go to Dominos in the Fry's center, or our nice Pizza Hut, they are a million times better than this place. I never got a cold piece of cardboard from Dominos or Pizza Hut. R & R pizza was NOT worth the $20 I paid and I further wish I hadn't tipped.

It's a little pricing for 8 wings, but they were good. We sat at the bar and service was a little slow. It wasn't very busy. The owner stopped by and asked how everything was. Nice touch!

The meal was excellent--the fish topped with shrimp was fresh, beautifully prepared and absolutely outstanding. The real surprise was the August cocktail menu. The drink menu is incredibly creative and sophisticated, with unusual house infusions, fresh herbs, amaros and ingredients you rarely see, even at dedicated craft cocktail bars. My cocktail was beautifully balanced, fresh and herbaceous--not overly sweet--and clearly made by someone who understands the art of a phenomenal drink. Great food, exceptional bar service and a genuinely fun atmosphere. Nic's was one of the highlights of my visit to Cottonwood and a place I would absolutely return to. Highly recommend sitting at the bar! Especially if you're traveling solo with the great service you'll never feel alone.

Nic's is a legit, old school steak house in Cottonwood. The restaurant came recommended by one of…read morethe locals, so had to give it a try. We came in on a Saturday night. There were three of us, and did not have a reservation. They offered the bar, which we accepted. Started with drinks. We are at a steakhouse, so went with a classic old fashioned, which was good. Ended up ordering two. For starters, had calamari, the New Zealand Mussels and clam chowder. All were excellent. For dinner, did the bone in rib eye with baked potato. Again, everything was great. The only thing on the steak was that there was a little too much butter. Butter is good, but not in abundance. The ambiance was what you'd expect for an old school steak house, dark interior, booths and a classic bar.

We ended coming back about 10 min later because there wasn't too many food options around the area. The same hostess asked if a table was ok and we said yes so we ended up getting seated immediately. We were a little confused We ordered a few things, Garden salad - the portion was big but the vinaigrette dressing didn't taste like anything. I wish we got a different salad since it just tasted like plain wet salad (4/10) Pesto Pizza - very good pesto flavor and I really enjoyed their pizza dough. I wish we added some type of meat ontop because it felt like it was missing something. I'd probably get it again and ask to do that (6.5/10) or a (8/10) when I added the chicken Chicken piccata - this dish was good, chicken was a little dry. It came with polenta that was very flavorful. I was using this chicken to eat with the pizza and salad. (7/10)

Starting with the charming tram/trolley that takes you up to the restaurant, offering a fun and scenic alternative to climbing stairs. We started with a wine flight, and I have to say--the white wine options were outstanding! Crisp, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. Each one had its own character, and the staff, super knowledgeable and happy to walk us through the flavors and pairings. If you're a white wine lover, this spot is a must. The food was equally memorable. Hubs ordered the muffuletta sandwich which included layers of flavor with high-quality ingredients on a lofty rosemary focaccia bread- delish! I ordered the house salad & added organic chicken. This salad was fresh, hearty, and full of vibrant farm-to-table goodness. You can absolutely taste the difference. We enjoyed sitting outside with beautiful Arizona weather on the patio. This spot is perfect for sipping wine and soaking in the views. Merkin also offers canned wines to-go and a fun selection of merch, which makes it easy to take a little piece of Merkin home with you. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for a relaxing day with great food and drink, Merkin Vineyards is a gem. Personally, I can't wait to return!
