Nick & G's Restaurant

It felt like we were driving through the neighborhood in Rancho Santa Fe but when we reached the restaurant it was super cute. We were a group of 8 and we had requested outside seating. While they have a cute and cozy little patio, we were given a table kind of far down the side walk, by the intersection. The hostess was not friendly when I asked about alternate seating, maybe inside the restaurant. But then a minute later when my friend asked again, we were given the perfect corner seating inside the restaurant. And from that moment on, the whole experience was absolutely wonderful. We had the best service I have ever experienced. Our server was super friendly, attentive and most helpful. The spicy Rancho margarita, flower child and barrel aged Manhattan were all delicious. The bell pepper and goat cheese flatbread, crispy Brussels sprouts and fried calamari steak were yummy! And so were all our salads/entrees… antipasto salad, Belgian endive and Asian pear, the filet mignon, sea bass (fresh catch), chicken Alfredo without chicken, soup of the day. The restaurant was very accommodating of vegetarian diets and were willing to make certain menu items vegetarian. We were celebrating two milestone birthdays and they brought out free desserts with candles on top of what we ordered. Yummiest crème brûlée and bread pudding and carrot cake and brownies. What a wonderful evening it was! This restaurant is a great find and we will definitely visit again.

We love Nick & G’s! As a gluten free patron, I have to give a lot of props because they serve amazing GF Italian food which can be tough and I am SO grateful. They have wonderful live music and wonderful ambiance. Lindsay, the manager is so incredibly nice. Our servers are always top notch. One of our favorite villlage spots!

My wife and I love this place. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here. We have been back as often as we can. Their Brussel sprouts are amazing, calamari was fresh and melt in your mouth. Their short rib is always amazing. The prawn pasta is delicous, the peas in it are an awesome touch. Their drinks are great and always mixed well. The butterscotch pudding and creme Brule are always our go to desserts. This place is great for date night or just a nice dinner at a nice location.

Good American restaurant in the middle of rancho Santa Fe. There is a bar with love music but the dining room is quiet. Food is very good and I enjoyed my seafood pasta. The bed pudding was good too

This is a cool place the food here is really good I suggest the filet or the lamb chops and also get the bread pudding it is very very good Gabriel helped us out he was very nice also you can pay with your Google pay here which I personally like they have a really big table for a huge family gathering also and a nice front and back patio

Best Steak in San Diego I’ve ever had! Or it’s , actually in Rancho Santa Fe.. definitely a 5 star experience!
I highly recommend this family establishment.

I forgot to add the calamari! Very well made! Honestly this restaurant deserves to be Michelin rated!

For sure a long time customer! Check out my meal!

Beautiful restaurant ... Interest twist on Italian favorites and great customer service...bread is insane.

Last evening my husband and I had a very enjoyable dinner at Nick and G’s.
Our server Paige was welcoming, friendly, attentive and was spot on with her recommendations. We had spaghetti and meatballs and chicken Parmesan, both dishes were very good.
We will defiantly go back and recommend to our friends.

Fantastic! Amazing food, great music, super friendly service - a must do in RSF!

The Live Music was awesome! The Short Ribs & Lamb Shanks were so good! We will definitely come back again!

Nice place, good food, excellent service. Plus, often have music. GREAT place!

I had the risotto and it was extremely tasty. The portions are a little bit small but probably what you would expect in one of the fancy. Places like this one is. Great taste. Great atmosphere and good food. Worth the price

Excellent dinner experience! They have a beautifully equipped, small patio to feel the night breeze. Lamb and scallop dishes were amazing as well as service. Even though we dined literary 5 mins before closing time, they took care of us wonderfully. Highly recommended.

We were at Nick & G's the night before Valentines day and as always, had another fantastic experience. We usually sit outside weather permitting, which it wasn't so it was a first for us inside.
We sat next to a cozy fireplace and as an artist I appreciated the interior decor. Ally was our server for the evening. She was attentive, personable, and knowledgable with the menu. We had to chuckle when she suggested a couple of the dishes we already love. We always have the prawns and brussel sprouts, & both are to die for. Finally, we always appreciate that fact that while we only make in every once in awhile, Jacob, our débarrasseur, always goes out of his way to say hello and make sure we are comfortable and have everything we need. Looking forward to making it back soon to one of our local favs! <3

We celebrated our 30th anniversary tonight at Nick &G and we had the most amazing experience. All the way from the general manger Jake to our server Amelia. Wow! Just an absolute pleasure to dine here. You will be in for a treat ,first class meal and service experience.

Music is very enjoyable and relaxing. Pizza off the bar menu is excellent. Sitting outdoors is really neat. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, great ambiance and service! I loved their soup of the day, the brussel sprouts appetizer, and the fact that they offer live music. This time we didn't have it because it was a Monday, but they offer it other nights and with great variety. It's the perfect spot for date night, family dinner, or girls night. Thanks for everything, Nick G's!

We held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Nick & G's and it was amazing! They were so accommodating and willing to work with us to do a curated menu for our large group, plus show a video on their TV in the back courtyard. The service and food was amazing. Our guests had such a wonderful time! If you are looking for a place to do an event in Rancho Santa Fe, look no further!!

A wonderful restaurant, with pleasant, attentive service. Great ambiance, romantic...absolutely lovely dining experience.

Fresh baked bread! So good. Meatballs were fantastic and the chicken parm was good. Waiter very nice and great atmosphere. Guy singing and playing the guitar was a fantastic singer.

Good experience all around.
