I had dinner at Nic's recently while in Historic Downtown Cottonwood. It opened at 5. I got there at about 5:20 and it was almost packed. The locals go there. What does that tell you? Yummy, nice, reasonably priced (notice I did not say inexpensive) for a nice place. I was only sorry I wasn't in town long enough to... More

The food was incredible, menu is very nice, we ordered way too much food but just couldn't resist all the tempting items. Amy Lou is the hero of this great dining stop though. She provides the ultimate in dining service and experience. They make a great old fashioned (up)

I hadn't been to Nic's for a while, and was surprised to find the food no longer meets its past in both quality and quantity. Our meal started with homemade bread and dipping oil. The artisan loaf had good texture, but little flavor. The accompanying light olive oil was almost flavorless as well. I ordered a steak, which came cooked... More

This place has great food, so if you are not there before or right as they open you have to wait to be seated and that wait usually means standing outside in the heat, the service and ambiance is excellent, the seating is sorta odd the booths would fit like 8 people and they don't really seem to have any...

New to the area, Nic's was recommended by some friends. The first thing I noticed was the outstanding, and I do mean outstanding, service. Our waitstaff was Chantel and I would recommend asking for her. The food was the best I have had in a very long time and I just moved from the northwest suburbs of Chicago with many... More

A bit dark when we walked in, it only got better. Staff was attentive and welcoming. The hot bread, olive oil and balsamic with garlic started a great dinner. Salad was fresh with great ingredients, wine is half-price on Wednesday for bottles. The special was a generous portion of tasty homemade pasta and twin medallions of beef that were so... More

Our food was delicious - split Chicken Parm between us for a $3 plate sharing charge which included bread w/ oil and an additional side salad. Wine was well priced, atmosphere romantic and charming but our service was less than desirable. We waited and waited while five surrounding tables turned over. What initially seemed like a leisurely meal eventually edged... More

I ate here twice during my stay in Cottonwood. Both were excellent meals. Eggplant parmigiana one night, and clam chowder with a salad the second night. I was not disappointed. Service was well timed, and the dessert choices are worth a look. When I return to Cottonwood I will eat here again.
