Their pancakes are the best me and my family have ever tried!
From comfort bites like burgers to seafood like fresh oysters or tuna carpaccio, as well as the tastiest vegetarian and vegan vegetable tarts I have ever had, Nisi has something for everyone. Kid-friendly, cozy atmosphere, and live music on summer Saturdays make it our favorite spot year-round.
-Steak and cheese was unfortunate, lacked any protein and too cheesy. 2/5
-Chicken Parmigiana was decent with a rustic tomato sauce and portioned well 3/5
The icing in the cake was 2.50 service charge while dining in. This was a miss for food but drinks and vibe could possibly make up for it.
I used to think the owner at least understood diners, he certainly has no understanding of fine dining (note to owner, you *cannot* do fine dining with cafeteria silverware and paper napkins. CANNOT.) So I sent half the grilled cheese back to heat it more, and it came back burnt. Clearly they fired the upscale chef, but who did they replace him with? Yikes. Then I asked for more ketchup and a refill on my drink (why are you sending ketchup in little cups (?), it will never be enough so just send the bottle, remember you are NOT fine dining.) It took two requests with two different servers (remember they were close to empty) and in time the ice tea showed up, but not the ketchup, that took more work. Explain that please.
Note, you are offering a dish called “Crocket Monsieur”. Seriously? You can’t even proof read your own menu, it’s a French dish called Croque Monsieur and there is nothing called a Crocket Monsieur. Man, this is your business treat it with some respect. Or….maybe it doesn’t deserve that.
Now I could review the salad Nicoise from a couple of weeks ago when it had yet another menu, this one a hybrid between attempted fine dining and upscale diner, but it’s no longer on the menu…. or is it? The presentation and dressing was nice, the tuna was of below average quality, tough, precooked medium rare from like yesterday, and the soft-ish boiled egg (a nice custardy yolk) was freezing cold so also cooked the day before? But nothing in that salad was cooked to order, lazy.
You have no clue what fine dining is, and when you tried again to do this you earned yourself a health grade of B and angered the people who liked you. What are you trying to do? Kill yourself off and your customers too? Maybe rename your place “Nada.”
On a positive note, the servers were friendly.
