Came in Saturday around 10 AM and, as always, the service was excellent and the food was fantastic! I've been here three other times and it never disappoints. I had the turkey club and fries. The turkey club was fantastic, and the fries came out nice and hot. I was surprised to see business was still pretty slow around noon. Definitely a spot worth checking out!
J Nichols has my favorite breakfast which I often order when I am in town. I forget to take a picture. I love the California Omelette. Our server was a little rude this time as we didn't order or leave fast enough after we finished our meal. I understand they wish to turn the table but we did tip extra for the time. It was not service with a smile this time.
I visited this place a few times when I was in LA for breakfast. This is a happening spot for breakfast. We did go before 9 on a Monday, and there was almost no one there when we started, but the place was fairly packed when we were done. I tried the Pacific Sunrise omelette one day, and the French Mexican on a different day. The common element to both was Boursin cheese, which is a favorite of mine. You could taste the cheese in Pacific Sunrise more! The handmade chorizo in French Mexican was really good. Everything was flavorful. I like how you can get a salad as a side with breakfast (or hash browns or up-charged fruit if you prefer). Also, do not miss the English muffins for an extra $2! They really are exceptional. This place is a bit pricey, around $70 for breakfast for two. It does seem like a good place to have breakfast with a friend, the booths are roomy, and you can't always overhear people's conversations! Service is good.
Went to J. Nichols Kitchen for a birthday celebration meal and as always the food was very good. We had one server at first and then switched to another and both did fine. Overall service was smooth. Most of the time when I come here I get the Holiday Turkey. I probably order that about 98 percent of the time. On this visit I seriously considered the grilled Idaho rainbow trout, but I ended up going with the steak frites, and it was a good choice. My nephew got the creamy chipotle rigatoni. My wife had a salad. I had the arugula avocado salad, which was fresh and flavorful. Since it was a birthday celebration, we finished with dessert. We had the brownie sundae and the key lime pie. Both were very good and a strong way to end the meal. Natalie was our server and she was really nice and attentive. Food is always fresh, consistent, and enjoyable here. J. Nichols stays at 5 stars for me.
I'm here again and I forgot to post my review from last time. I must have loved it because I'm back. I remember getting meatballs, wings, and a club. The ambiance is great. Our server was helpful.
Arrived for happy hour and seated at a high top table. Perfect for our group of 3. J Nichols gives me an upscale modern diner vibe. Welcoming and cozy. We started with wine. I don't think they serve any other alcoholic beverages other than wine and beer. We ordered wings to share off the happy hour menu. So yummy. Should have ordered two. I ordered the hamburger, medium well. It was kind of dry. Definitely medium next time. For dessert I got the brownie sundae. So good. Loved that they were generous with the candied pecans. I'll definitely be back. Nice to find a good restaurant with parking (bonus).
Been here a couple times and never had a bad experience. I usually get breakfast food and I'm never disappointed. I've had a couple of their omelets and also the eggs benedict and would honestly recommend getting breakfast items if you are going, just note you can only get eggs benedict on weekends. I say get breakfast because I did order a pasta once and while it was delicious I still think the breakfast food is the go to when coming here. The inside is a little small so when it's busy it can feel a little overwhelming. However, I wouldn't let that detract you, as the service is almost always great and the food is worth it. It is becoming a regular spot for us.
First time here and we had such a great experience! Perris, our waiter, was amazing--his service and attention to detail were truly top tier. The food did not disappoint either. We started with the maple brussel sprouts, which were packed with flavor. The black pepper wings (the reason we came) were absolutely delicious and lived up to the hype. We also tried the salmon toast--light but still very flavorful. For our entrée, we had the steak frites and it was a 10/10. Overall, everything was great, but Perris really made the experience unforgettable. One of the best servers we've had!
I've been coming to this restaurant ever since I discovered it about 8 years ago when I was looking for a place to dine as a kid. Now coming back as an adult I was greeted and told about the specials and bar service. The light streaming in through the dining room windows was lovely and the shades that came down to block the sun were lovely and set the mood. We ordered the Trout wirh fingerling potatoes and broccoli. We also ordered the BBQ pulled pork. Both were fantastic and well seasoned. The modelo I ordered was lovely and not to mention our server was very accommodating and kind. The prices were fair and for desert we got Key Lime Pie which was delicious and didn't taste like fake food coloring. I'll be coming back here very soon.
J Nichols is a cozy place tucked in Marina Del Rey. The service was quick (went on a week night) and staff were friendly. I ordered the turkey burger which was juicy and seasoned well. My sis and I shared the bacon maple Brussels (yummy)! Also I have to mention the creamy Greek yogurt cheesecake with honey and pistachios (chef's kiss). Free parking in the shopping center. Check out J Nichols!
I enjoy J Nichols Kitchen as they have great options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and that always makes it a pleasant experience knowing there are multiple quality choices. The wait time can be long but it seems to go by faster and signing in helps so much. The food is always good but the portions are definitely on the smaller side, leading me to often be hungry after leaving. But it's definitely a place that I can always count on to be yummy.

Dear how-do-we-get-more-business-department, When the side of the bar displaying sports is full of customers (5 out of 5 seats occupied) and the other side of the bar, with 5 seats, is completely empty, maybe you should invest in a second display. Bidness one oh one! read more

My Family and I went to meet my mother-in-law's relatives in Marina del Rey. They chose this restaurant and we didn't know anything about it. Everyone ordered BLT sandwiches or hamburgers. I chose the Kung Pao Chicken. I think this is probably one of the best Kung Pau Chicken I've ever had! When I told the waitress, she said, it was her favorite. I also got a lemonade. That was really yummy. With free refills. The waitress was truly kind, and she was very accommodating and helped all of the older people I was because they had a hard time hearing. Even though the restaurant was crowded there were many families, and everyone was happy. I'd recommend this place if you're ever in Marina Del Rey. Just writing about it makes me feel like eating that Kung Pau Chicken again! read more
Been here twice. Food js alright but the decor and ambiance is pretty good and the portions are large. Worth checking out if you're in the area. Food is a little pricey though. Service was okay and wish they provided more ketchup. Which I had to ask for multiple times since the "forgot" read more
Dropped in on J Nichols for breakfast after a Yelp search for an open Breakfast spot. J Nichols made the cut for it was right in the area I could afford to stop in, grab a quick bite, then go. To my surprise I arrived close to an hour of the breakfast menu being finished for the day. Literally had another taste for Pancakes and Coffee. No sweat. My host (Ian) was supper cool and professional and helped me to a table where he handed me off to another host who helped me navigate the menu to reach a meal that could substitute missing breakfast. So I chose the Kung Pow Chicken and a Mocha Latte (glad I was still able to grab a cup). The place is far more spruced and elegant than I anticipated. Walked in with a T-Shirt and sweats which made me feel out of uniform so to speak. Once again. My hosts saved the day assuring me all was well and to come in, have a seat, relax, and enjoy their dinning experience of which I did thoroughly. The Mocha Latte hit my daily crave for coffee. The drip was finished for the day due to their breakfast hours. The Kung Pow Chicken arrived with a bed of white rice. Turned out to be tasty without the imbalance of the sweet to salty ratio being out of wack. Perfect balance with crunchy Cashews and snappy Bell Peppers and string beans. Lightly crisped succulent pieces of Chicken. Classy place. Next time I will be sure to meet the atmosphere as it is set. The afternoon evening menu included Happy Hour Wine and Beer on Tap. It's sleek sheik and trendy for certain. Either case. Gratitude and give thanks J Nichols and Staff for a great meal experience and upper tier dinning. See you again soon. No pictures this time. Got ahead of myself. Next time. read more
Came here to see my childhood friend and enjoyed our breakfast on a beautiful morning. I got the morning wrap and my friend got pancakes with a side of bacon. Service was great and he was very attentive and ensured to let the kitchen know of my friend's allergies. My friend though was shocked that a side of bacon was $10. I do agree that a side of bacon (3) pieces is well overpriced. I believe they should add to their menu on how much a side of bacon is and possibly lower the cost because not many people are willing to or can afford $10 bacon. However overall great place and vibe. read more

The service and location were nice. My ribs came out cold. Not luke warm but cold. I returned it immediately. The server apologized. Then, she came back and said the kitchen is going to reheat them. Reheat them?? Not freshly made?? No. I ended up getting the wings which were perfect and came out steaming hot. The calamari and turkey sandwich were good as well. read more
I came here for an early Sunday breakfast and we were immediately seated. The service was so friendly and quick and the food was delicious! I got the Sorrento beach bowl with a side of sourdough toast and everything just tasted so good together. Would love to come back to try other menu items. read more

Came here for lunch. My friend had the chicken parm which was average. We also had the brussel sprouts with bacon. They had a ton of bacon, but it was a bit greasy for my taste. Finally we tried to the Reuben which was quite tasty. Overall, an upscale diner, but the prices should be brought down a little to match the quality of the food. read more
Stopped by for the first time and had a generally pleasant experience. We started with the black pepper wings, which were absolutely delicious--crispy with a perfect char that added great flavor. The service was attentive, and the vibe of the restaurant was relaxed and welcoming. For our mains, we tried the meatloaf and turkey plates. The meatloaf was tasty, and the accompanying gravy added just the right amount of flavor to bring the dish together, especially with the mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, the turkey plate fell short--the mashed potatoes and gravy were both bland and underwhelming. We ended the meal on a high note with the key lime pie, which was definitely the highlight! Topped with fresh whipped cream, you could tell it was made in-house with real key limes--bright, tangy, and refreshing. read more

J Nichols is now my favorite upscale coffee shop in town. I refused to go there for some time because they were needlessly using their handicapped spots for outdoor seating and that is not okay. Now they have taken them down as they should have a long time ago. We are back and the food is better than ever. They used to be pretty pricey, but the area has caught up to them and now they are the same as most excellent coffee shops. I find the prices to now be fair. They have a great selection. We love their hand made burgers that are cooked just the way you want them. Their fries are the bomb. All of their sandwiches are good. My husband love their Ruben sandwiches and they make the meat there. All of their breakfast items are outstanding and they have great coffee. Even their ice tea is great. We love it all and will be back again and again. The service is just perfect. Our server was the best. Have a great time. read more
