We had dinner before a show service was fast and ok our waitress was cold but the men were friendly. We sat at the bar I had the chicken potpie the seasoning was different than the usual potpie which was good but just a little on the salty side I loved the light and flaky crust . The spouse loved the lentil soup with the beef chucks it was excellent and it ate as a whole meal, my daughter had the margarita pizza she said it wasn’t bad it was just ok but wouldn’t order it again something about the cheese she didn’t like . When I come to another show I will return because of convenience, hot good food , fast service and clean location . No pizza

Walked in and the atmosphere was amazing. Stopped in for a cappuccino since I wasn’t really that hungry before a show at the PAC. The servers were a delight and the people there were so friendly. Sat at the bar….. Loved it!

I highly recommend this place. Our server was Briana. Excellent service, and food. It was my bday and Briana surprised me with a bday cake and ice cream. We had a steak sandwich, burger, and pizza.

We there Friday night for some dinner before our concert at The Prudential Center.. we didn’t get the bartenders names but both of them were attentive / knowledgeable / professional as they served us. The white cosmo’s were incredible! We got the shrimp bruschetta app ( so good I wanted another ) the wings in the special menu I think they were smoked chipotle and the heat and crisp on them were spot on.. my gf got the chicken pot pie and loved it ( $35 for a pot pie I thought was crazy until it came out and I tasted it ) and I got the short ribs ( meaty / tendu and perfect ) I myself have been in the food industry my whole life and this was one of the best overall experiences I’ve had going out. We’ll be back and highly recommend this place!

We ate here in November before a show and had a very good meal with attentive service. We did not have a reservation so we were seated on the “bar” side. We enjoyed happy hour drink prices and a full menu. I had pasta, my dining partner had steak. It was very good.
Fast forward to February. We were looking forward to another great meal at Nico before an NJPAC show. We were seated at the same table and noticed the same waiter. This time we sat for 10 minutes before we were offered water by a server. The waiter came over to take our drink order. We declined an alcoholic drink and asked for a full menu. He explained that they only offer snacks on the bar side and he’d be back to take out order. We waited about 10 minutes but he never came back so we left.

Big disappointment since last visit. Strange service rules: they don’t serve dinner menu in the lounge area or at the bar anymore. You can only order drinks and some kind of snacks. Lounge area is very cozy with dinner tables. Dining are is horrible It’s just a part of theater’s hallway with cheap cafeteria tables. Staff is extremely nice and friendly but unprofessional at all. Cocktails are watery. Fish cakes and salmon were tasty but not hot enough. Food looked like it was waiting for awhile on the kitchen to be delivered. Steak was horrible. So overcooked and dry but we ordered it rare. And it was precut because they don’t provide steak knives for eating steak. Restaurant management should do something about it. It was such a cool and pleasant place. Sorry to see it falling apart.

Pleasantly surprised! Pre-show dinner on a Friday night. Service was attentive and our server was very informative. It was still happy hour when we arrived and took advantage of the 1/2 price patron spicy margaritas. All drinks, draft beer and wines by the glass were also 1/2 off. The food was excellent – we started with the honey bbq wings and the buttermilk biscuits. The wings were extremely meaty and tasty. The biscuits were warm and delicious and the honey whipped butter was fantastic. The entrees, chicken skillet and steak frites were both outstanding. Portions were generous so we had leftovers. The only negative was nobody told us we weren’t allowed to bring our to-go bag into the theater and they didn’t have a coat check or anything so we had to leave the bag in an open area until we left or just forfeit our leftovers.

Karol is an awesome server! She checked in on us at the right times. She is friendly and patient and didn’t forget anything. We hope she is there the next time we come. Chef Courtney did amazing on the wings. Thanks for the Birthday wishes for my daughter. Great atmosphere even for family with young children. The two hosts were very friendly as well. Next I come I will check out the bar. Thank you kindly for a great first visit.
