Chez Nick

We came specifically for the burger and wow. Hands down one of the best, if not the best, I have ever had. Can’t wait to go back!

Delicious contemporary American spot nestled on York and 91st.

Reasonable price points.

The pork chop entree was excellent. Also enjoyed most of the vegetable apps.

And great service!

My wife and I have been coming here for the past year, but this most recent dinner surpassed all expectations. The quality has skyrocketed. Our meal commenced with the carrots al pastor, a meaty yet meatless root vegetable twist on the classic Mexican pork dish.

For the mains my wife had the smash burger, a classic, executed perfectly. I took a vegan journey down memory lane with the hummus and falafel. I have a Mediterranean / middle eastern background, and this was hands down the best falafel I’ve ever tasted in my life. The perfectly seasoned soft hummus and accompanying crunchy vegetables were all executed to perfection.

Finally we ended the night with a deliciously deconstructed childhood classic, the chocolate mousse with graham cracker crumble and the perfect pillow of a caramelized marshmallow. I was pleasantly surprised to find the classic Latin coffee cocktail, Carajillo on the menu. A delicious mix of iced espresso and liquor 43 is the perfect capstone to any meal.

Not to mention, the ambiance is perfect as ever, the presentation better than ever (I was so excited to eat everything I only just remembered to snap a shot of dessert before diving in), and the service is exceptional (thank you to our awesome hostess Laura and waitress Carly).

Run don’t walk to try this hidden neighborhood gem.

Where to begin? I am so lucky to live around the corner from this restaurant. Chez Nick is an absolute neighborhood gem, the place you just want to pop into every night for the best drink, best bites, and best atmosphere. The staff is unmatched- friendliest, knowledgeable, attentive. I have tried almost the entire menu and can say without a doubt I am always torn what to get, one dish is better than the next. I love the rotating seasonal and special holidays prix fixe menus. Though a great place to come with a group and sit in the dining room, you MUST visit the bar! She is the most attentive, creative and fun bartender and you are guaranteed an amazing experience as her guest. Whether you are a regular or a first timer you are treated like family at Chez Nick and will never be disappointed by the excellent food, cocktails, and service they have to offer.

Don’t believe their story of “Michelin” service that is on their “about” page.
Brunch, party of 6. We were 11 am start time so restaurant was half empty.
Menu looked good and a very friendly person took our order. We ordered a $44 bottle of champagne and he recommended another, never mentioned the price. I asked, it was $99. Crabcake appetizer (2) came out fast. Very dark but good. Plates were never cleared and mains came out with nowhere to put them. Only 5 of 6 orders came out. Two minutes later the last entree was served. ??? Half empty restaurant??
My egg was overcooked and the home fries were soft and mushy. They were small potatoes quartered, not really home fries. Parmesan fries were good and burgers were average. Food good but not great. Homemade sausage was the best item. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert were warm but could have come from Costco. And after brunch we sat for a long time with dirty plates. Mandatory 20% grat for parties of 6. Not worth the trip to York and 91.

I’ve been to over 100 restaurants in NYC and this is clearly one of the best! Everything on the seasonal menu is amazing. Each dish (and cocktails) has these few elements and ingredients that just take it a step further, surprising you and making it even more delicious. At the same time, they keep a relaxed neighbourhood vibe making it perfect for a dinner with friends or family. Also, ask for their specials as they never disappoint, be it a Pizza Margherita inspired cocktail or garlicky Parker House rolls. Overall, Chez Nick is a must visit when in town!

Stopped in to Chez Nick's for dinner after a long day and was very pleasantly surprised by a wonderful meal. I started with a very refreshing cocktail (pictured), called "The Show Goes On." Started off with an Elote appetizer which was three mini pieces of corn-on-the-cob (pictured), which was quite tasty. My entree was Lobster Mafaldine Scampi. I truly have never had anything quite like this dish before. There was an ample portion of lobster in this dish with the mafalde and a generous portion of heat (spice) throughout, which was both unexpected and appreciated! Loved this dish. Finished with the Chocolate Chip Cookies dessert, two amazing chocolate cookies served with a small glass of cold milk, a perfect finish to a great meal. Would highly recommend!

We were pleasantly surprised at how much we loved Chez Nick. It had the perfect combination of a family friendly, relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. Good vegetarian and vegan options, plus mocktails! And the food was fantastic. My husband said it was the best Brussels sprouts he’s ever had. Both our entrees had tons of flavor and lots of variety in texture, which is rare for a vegan bowl and a pasta dish. This is such a small criticism, but my mocktail had slightly too much of a lingering balsamic taste. Otherwise we were super happy and will definitely be coming back.
