    a bar with red leather chairs

    Nick's is a carefully guarded local secret! Excellent service. Very cool old school lounge vibe. Nice place for a date night. Gorgeous bar! I would love it even more if they had live music. Delicious menu options, including gluten free and vegetarian options.

    My first visit to the restaurant for our company end of season gathering. Servers were pleasant, food was properly cooked and pleasant presentation.

    Oh so good Roast Prime Rib of Beef Entree with fries and a glass of Cabernet. Really good dinner.

    Friendly waitstaff, accommodating to our allergies and food requests. Everything came out great and I love the prime rib. It's exactly how I wanted it. Definitely a gem of a place

    Food and service are average; we had to wait too long for the food. Nick's is also quite pricey.

    Always a good meal. Steaks are as good as you will find in Cookeville. I love the French onion soup. Service is friendly and attentive.

    My husband had the Cajun salmon, which was very good, but when he tried my prime rib he wished he had ordered that.

    What a great spot! Beautiful decor. Great service. 4 of us ordered the leap of faith drinks. Each…read moreone was perfect for each of our personalities as well as delicious. Definitely suggest trying that. From the outside so deceiving inside such a great vibe.

    This pains me! I was so excited to try this place. Cookeville needs a nice cocktail place, and 1854…read morehas great potential. But it's not there yet. To be fair, this review is only for NYE. I would not recommend this place for NYE. They had an extremely limited menu that was not published beforehand. If it had been, we wouldn't have gone. There were several gin drinks, one bourbon, and one mocktail you could add vodka to. That's all. You couldn't order any other drinks. We hate gin. So we stuck with the bourbon cocktail. It was 0% consistent. They said it was a batch, but every drink we had tasted different. Maybe the mix wasn't mixed well. Not the end of the world. It was still a decent drink. What was terrible is that only half way through service they ran out of the drink and would not make more. They said they were saving the rest for the next seating. So we were left with no drink options we liked. That's a big deal when you've *bought tickets* to be there. So we paid to be at a bar where we weren't given access to anything we liked and weren't told this would be the case when we bought the tickets. You have a whole bar there. Come up with another drink on the fly to replace the one you're out of. After several people complained, the bartenders said they would pour bourbon neat or on the rocks. Yeah, I can do that at home for free. If you are going to make people pay for access to an extremely limited menu make sure you don't run out of the key ingredients. The snacks were good and decently plentiful, but they weren't worth the ticket price (sushi that was not on ice, cheese, meat, fruit, crackers, deviled eggs, cookies) Would I come back? I'd like to give it another try only because Cookeville needs a place like this. If this was in another city, I wouldn't be back.
