One review mentioned:
We came here for their fri/sat/sun after 5pm prime rib $39. it was alright. it wasnt anything fancy. for +$3.50, you can get either a salad or soup of the day. today was clam chowder. as for the sides, you can choose between creamed spinach or cooked vegetables, either a baked potato or garlic mash potatoes. i asked for gravy on the mash potatoes but gravy was not available. my prime rib came with a bone but my friends didnt. both were thick and didnt leave us hungry. as for the meat, it got tedious to eat toward the end as it was a lot food. my guess is around 16oz. the quality was ok. it is not herb crusted nor aged that long. they should have dry aged it a bit more for the enzymes to develop a more complex flavor. as for the dining experience, no wait on a friday night, unlike hopr or westlake joes. vallemar station puts glass on top of table clothes with paper napkins, yes, that kind of vibe. the bartender lady must be at least 70 years old. the waitstaff is young and energetic. theres a huge tv at the bar and also the dining room. it reminded me of how vals in daly city used to be, but a notch lower. free bread. service was excellent.

Ritzy seafood-focused restaurant in a modern room with leather booths & large windows to the ocean.
One review mentioned:
This place was amazing! had a gluten free menu and food was cooked to perfection. the coconut prawns were as good as everyone said, i can t believe they were gluten free. the pineapple dipping sauce almost tasted like applesauce, very good. we had scallops and squash for dinner and i very much enjoyed the sweet taste of the squash puree, it surprised me. this place has an elegant ambiance, lovely piano music and is a date night must if in the area. if you are gluten free you ll have lots of great food options here. dietary restrictions: gluten free options are excellent!

This review is for the banquet room, huge shout out to kelly the restaurant events coordinator! she is amazing. we held a family memorial dinner last night with about 35 of our family members. the coordination from kelly was great, she was always very sweet, helpful and professional. the night of the event, she was great at making sure we were taken care of and supported. the food at nick s is always delicious, and we were impressed that even for a large group, everyone was satisfied with their meals. our waitress/event servers for the night were wonderful, went above and beyond to help us with even the little things. the service is top notch here, and it s a great place for any celebration. our family had a great time, nick s has always been a special place for us, would highly recommend booking with them for events! we will absolutely be doing it again. the manager was also very nice, forgot his name but he was present and wanted to make sure we were satisfied. 10 stars ! thank you all so much. :)

This was our first time here and even though they were closing soon, the staff was very welcoming and patient with us. we were able to order drinks and dinner without feeling rushed. the pisco sour was perfect. the pescado a lo macho was cooked differently (non-breaded whole fish) than i am used to but it was so delicious i ate every bite. we also tried the paella. it was good but a much smaller portion than we are used to getting while eating out at a peruvian restaurant.

Our favorite place for some arancini (rice balls)! we always order a pair to go and eat them at the beach. we have tried their gnocchi in pesto, meat sauce lasagna and pizza. they were all super delicious. luigi, the owner, is super sweet and still working every time we pop by. this place is not fast paced, so come with patience and a body ready for some major carb-loading!

Minimalist japanese restaurant plating traditional dishes, sushi & take-outs from fresh ingredients.
One review mentioned:
This was by far one of the best sushi dining experiences i ve ever had. this location is super ideal for a fantastic intimate dinner with your friends and family. while obviously the finer things in life come with a hefty price tag, this meal was not just worth it, but worth coming back and bringing more people with you. jenn was my server and she went above and beyond with her recommendations! luckily i was here during happy hour from 4:30 to 6:00pm (dine-in only) so i grabbed an order of chicken gyoza, 12pc assorted sashimi, and a large kirin beer. the chicken gyoza was soft & crispy. every piece of sashimi was clean and cut perfectly. the beer paired everything together nicely. i will definitely be returning in the future!

Tacos, margaritas & other mexican standards offered at a counter-serve, kid-friendly joint with tvs.
One review mentioned:
Beachside mexican restaurant with a stand alone bar and ample indoor and outdoor seating. just a 2 minute walk from the beach. quite possibly the best burritos in the entire bay area. we specifically come here for them. if you get them, you must order the skirt steak! they are fire grilled and charred to perfection. you won t regret. they also have a bar in the back which serves beer and cocktails. the margaritas here are great and don t taste fake at all. the servers here know what they re doing for sure. the huge plus here is that you can simply walk around the restaurant and the beach is right there. it s a wonderful location and this restaurant is highly recommended.
