Man-oh-man, have I found a new fave hotspot in Del Mar…heck, in all of San Diego!

QUICK TAKE: GO — STRONG RECOMMENDATION.

Man-oh-man, have I found a new fave hotspot in Del Mar…heck, in all of San Diego! Nicks is the tasty bomb! Jamie & Barney introduced us to this hip, elegant, delicious joint and Tammy & I fell instantly in love! The food is exceptional, the service impeccable and the atmosphere just swanky enough to make you feel elevated but not overcome by snob factor. I can see this being one of our prime spots for a quick cocktail, a quick & tasty lunch, or pull the stops and invite friends to make it THE place for dinner. Note: Are you super hungry? Don’t hesitate and just order the ribs. OMG, you’ll be amazed at the fall-off-the-bone tastiness. Smaller appetites? Go for the spicy Thai salad; To-Die-For. And one secret pleasure? The roasted garlic infused bread. Dang, too many choices, but a great problem to have. Thanks Nicks! I/we will be back again. And AGAIN!

The original review was positive overall; the specifics are in the experience above.

Honestly? Nothing worth bitching about.

Yes. The original review supports the recommendation.

THE VERDICT

GO — STRONG RECOMMENDATION.

I am not looking for reasons to destroy somebody. I’m looking for reasons to recommend them. They just have to earn it.
