I've been to Nick's in Pasadena before and had a great experience. However, Nick's on 2nd was something else. I came here for a work related lunch with one of my favorite clients and had the best experience with our server, Jonathan. I ordered the Center Cut Filet with mashed potatoes and it was so tasty! It was done right. I also ordered an espresso martini which was great along with some spicy margs. We ended the lunch with dessert which was also good! I would come back here in a heartbeat because of the service we received with Jonathan. He was attentive, knowledgeable of all the entrees and drinks (my client and I were so indecisive on what to get and Jonathan broke it down and gave us recommendations) and was super patient about it! Anytime you come here to celebrate something, they gift you a congratulatory card signed by the staff. It's a simple gesture yet so thoughtful and makes the entire experience even better. My client told Jonathan I just moved into a new place and the card was to wish me a happy housewarming. How cute is that? Lol. I parked in a public parking spot about a block away. You can also park on the street if you find a space.

Date night location. It's romantic and has good dessert to feast on such as the butter cake, it's a must have 9.2/10 due to it's butter smooth taste. You'll enjoy. I ordered the sea bass. It could have been better but definitely a good dish, 7.1/10. She ordered the blackened fish sandwich. It's huge and will get messy. She liked it, 7.2/10. Ordered the spinach dip, this was a highlight, I ate every ounce. 9.3/10. Location is very clean, the staff is nice, the kitchen view was cool. I would go back again but not often, there is better out there.

Took a friend here who was visiting California from out of town, and I'm so pleased by the whole experience. Kasey (I really hope I spelled your name right, forgot to ask), was a fantastic waiter who not only gave great suggestions based on our preferences, but also checked on us just the right amount and was pleasant to talk to. I had what might be the best Moscow mule of my life (they muddled a little blackberry in upon request, and it was the perfect addition of tart flavor). Every dish was delicious and brought to our table with time between to enjoy each one without the next going cold. We enjoyed the downstairs dining area since it was quieter for conversation, but I passed by the upstairs lounge and that space also seemed to have a fantastic atmosphere. No notes, absolutely taking a friend there again in the future.

This place is always a vibe. It's always tasty. It's always good and great service. This is the first time I've tried this particular plate with the petite filet the soup and salad. Great price fills you up. What more can you ask for?

My husband and I just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary at Nick’s on 2nd and had the most wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the drinks were divine, and our server truly was the icing on the cake—attentive, kind, and made the evening feel special. We were especially touched by the anniversary card signed by the staff. Such a simple gesture, yet so thoughtful and memorable, and a true reflection of how they go above and beyond to make their guests feel celebrated. Thank you for an unforgettable evening. We look forward to coming back again soon!

One word: WOW. I went Nick's for the first time in March 2026 and had a fantastic experience. The service, including our awesome server Garrett who was super friendly and had great recommendations, was impeccable. From appetizers to dessert, the food was sensational- we had the deviled eggs, meatloaf, sirloin, and the bistro plate. I would recommend all of it and can't wait to go back- the food was impressive! The inside of the restaurant was beautiful too- quite a find for 2nd street. Highly recommend!!

This is a great upscale restaurant. Have lots of business lunches here. This particular visit was with five of my colleagues. They all thanked me for choosing Nick's.

I found this place as midway between our hotel and where my old college roommate lives. What a find! The service was attentive without being fussy, and the food was ::chef’s kiss::. I had the soup special and the California salad, which was tastier than any salad has a right to be. The only problem is that we fly out tomorrow, and the dessert I ordered (lemon cake), while delicious, could feed five people!
