    Classic Cheeseburger
    Thomas K.

    Food was delicious. Portion size was fine. We arrived right at opening so it wasn't busy yet. Our food cane out quick. Overall good experience and we would come back

    We came here to celebrate my mother in laws not monster in law's BIRTHDAY! I have heard of Nicks in Newport Beach but, just realized that there had another location in Pasadena... SERVICE: 10/10 A+ Excellent Service! Everyone was very friendly. Emily was our service for the first half followed by Danny and her team. Everyone was very PATIENT!!! That's so rare!!! Very professional. There was no signs of moodiness or exhaustion. Bravo to the hardworking staff!!! SEABASS: 10/10 Star of the show! The fish was cooked perfectly. It was soft on the inside and a pinch of joyful crunch on the outside. However, I did not like the mash potatoes because it had a very weird taste... PRIME RIB DIP: 8/10 Not bad. It reminded us of the HAT's pastrami sandwich... FILET MIGNON: 9/10 looks delicious! My party finished his plate... CLAM CHOWDER: 10/10 My mother in law said it was very good! ARTICHOKES: 7/10 Very dry. We had to replace it with another appetizer... SPINACH DIP: 9/10 Delicious!!! The dip's flavor and texture really stood out... AMBIANCE: 10/10 Nice and a bit dimmed ambiance. We sat at a circular table for a part of 6 on the first floor. It felt really nice and intimate and you can watch the game on the TV screen as well... ROCK ON NICK'S SOUTH LAKE AVENUE!!!!!

    The Prime Rib Dip Sandwich
    Kenny L.

    Really surprised they played Odesza for a song which was nice (memories that you call). So have to give a 5 for the music. Sea bass and prime rib dip is my favorite. Halibut macadamia is good too but if I had to choose, then sea bass. 1.5hrs free parking behind the restaurant but you can only enter through the south main entrance. Too full for desserts or appetizers lol

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, a world class sandwich, the one and only Original Ribeye Melt...You're welcome
    Lee B.

    Nice atmosphere, classy-chill vibes, but not I absolutely have to dress up, but you can I guess. Anyway to the most important part, the food, I tried some of my friends Deviled Eggs, which were the best I have ever had, but I am kind of whatever about deviled eggs to be honest, so take that for what's it's worth. However, the Original ribeye melt was to freaking die for soooo good, excellent! This place is a little on the pricey side, but everything is going up fast currently so there's that. But I must say, you owe yourself, treat yourself to something nice every now and then. The service was nice, the atmosphere was superb, and the food was excellent. I hear the drinks are great as well, not really a drinker so I would not know, I normally get a water and unsweetened ice tea everywhere I go. I'm just a Yelper, foodie, explorer, and pop culture enthusiast from Los Angeles making his way in world, all the best to you and yours, enjoy

    What an excellent spot to celebrate... anything! I came here with friends just to do a nice dinner while they were in town. Nick's South Lake Ave. did not disappoint. Expect to spend a few shiny pennies, but it's well worth the splurge. We went all out, and enjoyed the asparagus fries, some mocktails, and adult beverages to enjoy along side our steak dinners. We pretty much all ordered the Bistro Plate, and all loved it! All the meats were cooked perfectly, and the soup was amazing! That nights soup special was the ginger carrot. It was so well balanced, smooth, full flavored and all around perfect. My friend and I, also ordered a side of mashed potato, and again amazing and worth it. The whole meal was the perfect portion. No leftovers, and certainly not hungry for the rest of the night! Our server was on point, attentive professional. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. The meal from start to finish was just as expected for a fine dining experience. 5 star all the way. A must. Chef's kiss. I will 100% be back.

    Saw this restaurant on Yelp and booked a reservation for Mother's Day brunch. Since it was on a Sunday, parking was free. I was very surprised the whole place looked very fancy, yet the prices were very, very reasonable. Our server, Giovanni, went above and beyond. Top-notch service overall. We were very happy with our experience and would highly recommend this place!

    One of our favorite restaurants is Nick's restaurant and you can never go wrong with any of the food and drinks. Service is always always amazing, Jose was our waiter, very friendly, hardworking, efficient, polite and the whole staff. Management is always there and stop by to greet. Location is perfect and I love sitting upstairs with the bar view. My husband always books the dining room for dinner meeting and everyone loves it.

    One of the more tasty meals I've had in a while. Service was quick and friendly. Everyone we walked by greeted us. The restaurant is cozy but not small, we sat on the second floor with a great view of the bar and entrance. The owner ( who was recently on a Netflix) as super nice and handsome too!! The food came out quick and warm. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I can't wait to go back !

    Great wine and Asparagus Fries
    Matt B.

    The place is gorgeous! Loved sitting on the 2nd floor overlooking the bar. Our server was friendly and attentive. The asparagus fries were OMGoodness! For dinner I had the chefs special Macadamia nut crusted halibut and my wife had the fried chicken. Everything was perfectly cooked and more than enough to fill us up. Found a great wine on the list and it was exceptional. It's too bad they are 40 miles from home or we'd probably eat here every week. If you ever want to open Nick's South Corona, let me know

    I had an amazing experience here. I love the ambience. I was excited to be able to sit upstairs. I like the mood better up there. It's not as busy. The food was phenomenal. 10/10 service was good. I would've liked our waitress to be more engaging. But She did a good job. They have wide variety of food options . Appetizers, salads, sandwiches, or steaks , and seafood. There is street parking in front or behind.

    Nick's was a great experience from start to finish. The restaurant was very clean, and the servers were attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The food was very good, and the restaurant has an upscale feel without being overly formal. I'd definitely recommend it for a nice lunch or dinner and would be happy to visit again.

    Love going here for all events. If you have more than 8 people you can reserve the upstairs! Best things on the menu: deep fried deviled eggs, asparagus fries, bar nuts, petit trio, fried chicken sandwich, ribs, rib eye melt, prime rib dip-my fav, and Pims cup beverage-just like England! Gotta get that butter cake! Same as mastros

    Shal J.

    This place never disappoints. Promptly seated after reservations were previously made. Booth! Love me a cozy booth. Tried this mocktail ginger mule. Trio of salad, steak and corn chowder soup was tasty. The tuna rice bites with avocado and deviled egg make for a unique appetizer. Room for dessert? The butter cake was shareable and had a cinnamon aftertaste. Consider trying the sundae with house made brittle topping!

    Ask the Community - Nick's South Lake Avenue

    Can they accommodate say a party of ten to twelve people?

    Yes with limited availability. Reservation is highly recommended.

    Do you have a kids menu? If so can you post a picture of it.

    Do you reserve for group of 27?

    Yes, you should be fine!

    Are you open on Christmas day for dinner?

    We are closed at all locations every year on 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas so our associates may enjoy the holiday with family and friends.… 

    Do their staff sing happy birthday for birthdays?

    No, it's not that kind of restaurant. Although casual, it's more formal with rules and regulations in order to respect their customers. They will put a candle on the cake or dessert item that YOU purchase, but no singing actually allowed.

    Do you guys take big party reservations?

    Upstairs they can accommodate with a large table with an enclosed room.

    When did they stop serving brunch? :(

    Do you offer a brunch menu on the weekends?

    Is there a dress code?

    No, but you'll feel more comfortable with at least a smart casual attire.

    Hi, are how can we make reservations for a party of 7?

    You can give them a call! We booked a table on open table for 10 people back in June! But I just checked, it seems like they changed their option to max 4, they do have large private tables on the second floor for big groups as well.

    Is there a dress code?

    Business casual.

    Does this location have the butter cake?

    Yes and it was yummy!

    Do they serve lunch?

    They sure do. Just as good as dinner!!

    What is the corkage fee?

    $15 per bottle, 3 bottle per table limit.

    How is your parking?

    There is a public parking lot behind nicks, first 90 minutes free then after it's $2 I believe every hour?

    Do you have outdoor seating at the moment?

    They do not.

    Do you take reservations?

    They offer a limited number of reservations through OpenTable.

    Are you open yet? Restrictions were lifted and there's indoor dining. Please advise the status on your recording as phone rings with no answer?

    I called on 4/27/21 and Nick's is back open as of last Monday!

Truly had a hard time deciding which I liked better and I think it would just come down to what mood I'm in because both were so yummy. The French toast sticks were delicious as well. They were sweet with a nice crisp and came with a side of fruit. I didn't have high expectations for this dish and thought it would just be small pieces of French toast, but they had such a nice crisp to them. All three dishes I would order again. Chai latte was unfortunately watery--would not order again. Service 10/10 Friendly, fast service. It sounds like the staff get a lot of regulars. Service is fast-casual service where you order at the counter, take a number, food is brought to you, and you bus your own table.

I was not a fan of dusty dena, i couldnt really taste tge chai but irange grove was good. Very orangey. The coffee is really strong. It made my heart race like crazy. I liked the avocado toast with the crispy arugula and the tater tots. Tater tots were nice and crispy but soft on the inside. I would pass on the french toast sticks though. They were overly sweet for me but the fruits it came with were good. Surprisingly cooler than expected with the fan on and no ac on a hot day. Small parking in the back but you park on the streets.

The checked-in staff were friendly and welcoming. As I walked in to be seated, I scanned the room looking for the beautiful Prita and was bummed when I didn't see her. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Then, as I scanned the room again, I was so happy to see Prita working that night. I wanted to go over and say hi, but since she was busy taking care of guests, I had to admire her from afar. To my complete surprise, Prita took over for our waitress during the second half of our meal, and I even got a hug from her. Yay! Dinner time! Let me try to remember what we ordered, since it has been almost a week. Appetizers Tomato Soup - $6.00 (x2) Steak Arugula Salad - $23.95 Drinks Hot Tea (mine) - $3.95 All Along the Watertower (mine) - $16.00 Lemonade - $6.95 Lemonade (to go) - $6.95 That girl robs me dry! :P The lemonade is homemade and blended, so I don't blame her. I mean I got 2 drinks. It's only fair. :) Entrées Truffle Mushroom Pasta - $19.95 Shrimp Pesto - $24.95 We shared both entrées. My daughter took a bite of the Shrimp Pesto and spent a long time savoring it. I asked, "What's wrong?" She said, "Do they make their own pesto?" I was impressed! I asked, "How do you know?" She replied, "I can taste the freshness and the texture." Wow! She's a true foodie. She's a much pickier eater than I am, so when I dine out with her... only quality restaurants!

I love a spot with a lot of character, which is exactly what this place is. Vibes immaculate, huge variety of coffee/matcha drinks, and fresh food all around. I went for breakfast burrito and my usual iced vanilla latte. Great combo. It tastes great, and I loved the salsa verde on the side. It was a good portion, and I left feeling satisfied. I absolutely loved sitting outside and having fresh air with a great view. You are given a number at the counter, and your food is brought out to your table. I've also seen their promotions on Instagram and love that they do themed menus/events for holidays and such. I have yet to check out the San Marino location, but that's next on the list. Till next time!

    Visited at lunch on a Saturday for the first time in awhile with wife, toddler, and friend since…read moreour friend had never been. Found seating outside but moved some plates ourselves from one table to another to find shade for us the kiddo. Grabbed a high chair and got seating set up. A few folks were setting up to play music out on the patio. We ordered inside as expected, thankfully the line wasn't too bad at that time so it went smoothly, though the prices are still higher than the average mom/pop sandwich place (but we anticipated this). We waited a bit for food while the patio band played. Ambience was pretty nice. Our friend's sandwich came out first and about 5 minutes later our food came. However, the Arnold Palmer we ordered didn't arrive with the food so we asked if they'd come back to bring it, and we were told they'd be right back. We waited probably another 5 minutes but drink still didn't come so I went inside to ask about it and saw the drink sitting on the back counter. So I asked staff if I could pick up the drink and they handed it over. Our friend's sandwich (the Jester) looked pretty filling while wife and I ordered/shared the Crown Jewel with cheese and mayo on the side. The Crown Jewel was pretty meh overall. Wasn't as stacked as the Jester and the bread fell apart as I ate it, despite the mayo on the side. At the end of eating someone came by to grab our order numbers and ask how things went. I commented on the wait for the drink and was told they couldn't find us, which sounded strange because they found us when bringing the sandwich and we still had our order number. But she said we could get a free refill. Since I wanted to take advantage of the refill I went inside to inquire but the order counter had gotten extremely busy. So I asked one of the bus/wait staff outside if they could grab my refill. He directed me inside and he commented how busy they were but I said I didn't want to wait in the huge line simply for a refill, so he offered to meet me inside to get the refill. Eventually I did receive the refill and we left. Overall, for the price of the food I felt the service was very average bordering on subpar, and the food was meh for the price. I don't blame the staff as they all seemed to be working very hard, but perhaps they were understaffed which would be more of a management issue. We basically bussed a couple tables on our own and waited what eventually amounted to 20-25 minutes for an ice tea/lemonade. I pre-tipped when I bought the food, which I kind of regretted but also felt bad that the employees were understaffed so I likely would have left a tip anyways. I don't plan to go back anytime soon. Wish the food and service were better

We ended up at Magnolia House for a late lunch/early dinner. They also serve breakfast/brunch only on weekends. Walked in around 4:30pm and we were greeted by Brian, one of the managers. Brian was the standout star of the whole experience! His energy was exceptional and he is such a great conversationalist. He checked on us several times throughout our meal and made sure we were doing well. He on his own was HANDS DOWN a five star human being. At first, he wanted to seat us in the back corner but I told him the table was too small and he accommodated us with a bigger table. Our server Kiana came up to the table with a pleasant smile and greeting to take our drink orders. I got a glass of cranberry juice along with some water. My son got the American Dream cocktail along with some water. We skipped on dessert. From 4-6pm, they have a happy hour menu with some of their cocktails and shareable plates. The portions are just a bit smaller and the prices are a little lower. It's a good way to sample different items. I think we got a good variety of food to enjoy. To start, we got the Little Gem Salad. It was such a unique combination of flavors and SUPER delicate/light. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The next starter was the Zucchini and Feta Fritters, which was good but not the best out of everything else we ordered. The zucchini was a bit mushy but the batter it was fried in was crispy. Another starter we shared were the Moroccan Spiced Chicken Wings. These wings are gigantic and very flavorful. They definitely pack some heat, so be careful. I don't think the A/C was NOT working to begin with, so the place was already hot. The wings made us sweat even more. For entrées, we got the burger and the pork belly. Brian said they are known for their burger and after taking the first bite, it's clear as to why. It was absolutely PERFRCTION. So delicious! The bun, the meat, the cheese, the onions, and the crispy bacon...all of it mixed together into the perfect burger. I had wanted to add some mushrooms and avocado to it, but Kiana said they were unable to do it. I also asked for lettuce and she said that would be an extra charge. What extra charge for lettuce? We still got charged for avocado when the bill came, but they took it off once we mentioned it. The pork belly was also very tender, flavorful, and crispy. It's just hard to compete with the burger! We also got an order of the Belgian Fries to share and we were both pleasantly surprised at how good they were. The fries are salty and cut pretty thick. The sauce that came on the side was so yummy. We asked for a small extra cup to-go. All in all, the food was great and we liked everything. The vibe of the restaurant wasn't really all that for me. Brian genuinely made up for anything that was lacking in the atmosphere. He is such a wonderful asset to the restaurant and their company. The restaurant itself has been here for about 15 years now and it used to be a very old house. You can tell when you look around. They did a good job with the renovations, but you can see the different areas/rooms. I think they tried to keep the casual comfort of a home, while making it a slightly elevated experience. It was very clean everywhere, especially the bathrooms. They have one gender neutral bathroom, one for men, and one for women. No private parking, so you'll have to park on the street and put money in the kiosk. They also had an outdoor seating. Pretty BIG, only took picture of one side. They also have 2 small TVs. In the bar area and inside their cute lounge. I normally like to try new places, especially when I'm in Pasadena, so I'm not sure if I'll come back here. Maybe if Brian is working, it would definitely be worth stopping by again! Thank you all..

    Magnolia House was the place to go 10-12 years ago. But the last 3 times I've been here recently,…read moreit just really doesn't have the charm or class it used to have. Service is really really slow. You may see 5 or 6 waiters on staff...but they aren't stopping at tables to check up on guests. Alot of them are just hanging around the bar or front desk chitchatting with friends. The food quality dropped tremendously. It tastes like bland bar food now. $19 for 2 meatballs laying in tomato paste....and they were not even room temperature. Felt like they had these already prepared and sitting somewhere, just waiting for the next guest to order them. Got a mojito that may have been mistaken for a "virgin" drink....cause no one at our table could taste any alcohol in it. They all said it was watered down mint with ice. I wish this place would go back 10 years and make it like "the spot you want to go to"....versus the spot you now avoid.

    Beautiful ambiance, quick and attentive service! The food is…read moreamazing, the potatoes are always cooked just right, crispy but not burnt. The angus always juicy, and definitely not stingy with the avocado!(: Coffee was also delicious, I asked less sweet and they did just that.

    Popping Yolk Cafe definitely lived up to the hype! We tried a little bit of everything, and…read morehonestly...there wasn't a single thing we regretted ordering. Ube French Toast -- Deep-fried toast stuffed with a house-made ube filling, topped with coconut flakes, blueberries, maple syrup, and ube condensed milk. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not overly sweet. Bacon Jam Burger -- Angus beef, house-made bacon jam, arugula, cheddar, a sunny-side-up egg, and a drizzle of maple syrup. The sweet and savory combination was such a surprise--in the best way! Nashville Hot Chicken Benedict -- Crispy Nashville hot chicken with poached eggs, hollandaise, Cajun mayo, pickled cucumber, and coleslaw on an English muffin. So flavorful with just the right amount of heat. We also had to try two of their signature drinks! The famous Potted Plant Coffee was such a fun experience! A creamy latte topped with Oreo "dirt" and served with a tiny sprout, making it look just like a real potted plant. It tasted just as good as it looked! Egg Coffee was another first for me! It's made by whipping egg yolks with sugar until they're light and frothy before pouring coffee over the mixture, creating a rich, smooth, custard-like coffee that's unlike anything I've had before. A huge thank you to Shawn for being so welcoming! He gave us amazing recommendations, was incredibly kind, and made our first visit even more enjoyable. Great food is one thing, but great hospitality is what keeps people coming back. As Popping Yolk says... "Breakfast is a meal. Brunch is a culture." After eating here...I totally get it.

    This is like my 10th time coming here and I always come back for the tacos !!!…read more Steak tacos are delicious! This time added a few more items to the menu so I wanted to share my thoughts on the food especially cause I didn't see these items on the menu so I figured I try something new. Brussels sprouts are good , might be to lime/lemonie but I ordered mine extra crispy. Side of Mac n cheese , pretty cheesy , can't go wrong. And the chicken soup mmm wasn't the best. Basic soup. Nothing crazy , not enough chicken and needs more flavor. Don't recommend it. They have this moz ball mmm wasn't my favorite. Kinda makes the soup look weird. Idk. My opinion Everything else is great. The place is great, they have a rooftop patio too really nice and vibes are great. Service is great always!!

    BEWARE of shredded metal sponge pieces in the pasta!…read more We came in today for Dine LA and ordered the Pasta alla Vodka. Near the end of the meal, I felt something hard in my mouth. When I took it out, it appeared to be a sharp piece of shredded metal, like the kind that comes from a metal scrubber used to clean skillets. This was extremely concerning and could have caused a serious injury if swallowed. The manager came out, apologized, and told us the pasta would be removed from the bill. However, when the bill arrived, the pasta was still charged. When we asked the waiter why it had not been removed, we were told that we had to pay for it first and that the manager would refund the pasta afterward. What kind of system is that? We reluctantly agreed and paid the bill, trusting that the refund would be processed. Of course, no refund has been issued. Finding a piece of metal in my food was already a horrible experience, but the way the situation was handled made it even worse. Very disappointing customer service, especially after we were specifically told we would not be charged for the dish. I really wish I had taken a photo of the metal shard.
