It is so nice to finally be able to get this off my chest, and it is so nice to read all the negative stuff that has been written about Nick's. About 4 years ago my wife and I went to dinner there and had a delicious meal. About two months later we went with our kids: wo boys aged 11 and 9 that had grown up eating in restaurants and are very well behaved. . Well we got there at about 5:15 on a Saturday afternoon and there were approximately 5 tables with customers. We were met by Nick and he ushered us to a table by the bathroom and the kitchen entrance. I asked if we could sit by the window and just started walking over to a window table. Nick then said no you have to sit at that table. I said that there was no one here and we would really like a table by the window. He said, and I quote, ""Do you get to pick your seats when you fly in an airplane?"" I looked at him and said, ""Well as a matter of fact, I do get to pick my seats when I fly."" This seemed to really incense him. He then said ""If you want food you eat at that table."" He was combative, hostile, angry and extremely rude. My family and I left. My wife was floored, and she said that she wanted to call and talk to the owner. I said that the guy who sat us had to be the owner because even the rudest waiter I had ever encountered before was never as bad as that guy.. My wife did call him and said that we left because he was so rude, and he didn't care. Since that time I have made it a point to tell anyone and everyone this story. I bet I have stopped at least 30 families/couples from going to Nick's. I don't know how he stays in business.
Pros: I left before I was seated
Cons: It is still open
