Came here for trivia on a Monday. It had already started by the time we got there unfortunately but…read morestill enjoyed it nonetheless. Great ambience and service here! Definitely enjoying the British vibe. Service has always been good. The food on the other hand is mostly good. But just not great. And that's why I just can't give it five stars. The coleslaw is really lacking. I would not say the fish was cooked the best. I ended up having a burger the second time and again it was just okay. Whoever is running their food probably needs to check on some things. Just saying.

The wee (small) portion is in reality quite big, and paired up with a crisp Guinness it's the perfect match!

The bartender was very nice. I ordered an amaretto sour, which didn't much taste like an amaretto sour; more like watered down Kool-Aid with a touch of sour. I'm sure it's much better if you're ordering whiskey or a beer. I would give it another try and just order something different next time. I didn't take indoor pics since there were so many people and I try to honor privacy. ;)

Maybe the waitress was new, but she took forever to come and help us, our glasses stayed empty, and it took an extra 15 minutes just to get the check. Appetizer None Main Course - Crab cake and toast was a huge hit with my wife. Though she wasn't sure how to eat it and the egg wasn't runny as she wanted, she enjoyed it. - 9/10 - Steak and fries with chimichurri was quite delicious. The bourbon bbq sauce for the fries I highly recommend. Steak was a bit over cooked but tasty. - 8/10 Dessert - Brulé cheese cake was light and fantastic. The berries consisted of 4 blueberries. Would have been nice with a few strawberries or raspberries- 8/10

My team and I had the most amazing dinner at Nicholson's after a long day of work…read more We sat in the back room and were the only people back there, so it was nice and quiet and just what we needed. Our server, McKenna, took great care of us the whole evening. She was friendly, engaging, accommodating, and just did an overall great job. Pro tip, go during happy hour for great prices on appetizers and drinks. The appetizer pricing was so good we were able to order more than planned. We got the duck fat fries, brussels sprouts, and buffalo chicken. The duck fat fries came with a delicious garlic aïoli. The brussels sprouts were just perfect. And the buffalo chicken with some of the best I've had in a long time. I had never had cock-a-leekie before, so I tried that too. It was a nice, warm, comfort food. For our entrées, several of us got fish and shrimp. It was delicious and the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce sauces were perfect. The highlighter of the evening for me was my mocktail. I noticed the drink menu had a cucumber elderberry drink, but I do not drink alcohol, so I ask if they would be willing to make something like it as a mocktail. It was genuinely one of the best mock tails I've ever had. It was so good. I asked if the bartender would mind sharing what she did so I could make some version of it at home. She happily obliged and wrote it down for me. Overall, a wonderful experience that will definitely have me recommending Nicholsons to friends and family!

The martinis are quite sweet so if you don't like that maybe stick to another drink. The servers were nice and it was fun Thursday night vibe. We ordered some other food, the prezel and beer cheese off the secret menu. The pretzel was nothing special but the beer cheese was great! The spice bag was very salty...hard to eat. The Chicken Ceasar salad wrap didn't taste like there was any ceasar dressing on it. The homemade ranch did not really taste like ranch at all. If you are coming here I suggest the martinis and unlimited fries.

The place was fairly clean, the bathroom was a little rough, at least the mens room. Hence the 4 stars... maybe it should be a 3.5 stars.

She took our food order and I ordered the Shaved Prime Rib sandwich and I was given a choice of Saratoga chips, mashed potatoes, house cut fries, sweet potato fries, tots, fried broccoli, peas, or a side salad. I chose the Saratoga chips, I love them! My friend ordered the Reuben and also the chips. My sandwich came with au jus on the side for dipping. My chips were as I would expect them to be, a little thick and crunchy! I was not a big fan of the ciabatta bread on my sandwich but overall it was good.
