Nik's Italian Kitchen And - Austin

I will begin by saying that I appreciate the efforts made during Covid to remain open and change how they work to facilitate this. To say that, they have to try again. This place used to be amazing. Your food was top Notch and the same with the staff and service. But now... I feel like I was wasting my money. I went with a group of friends and we were shocked to see nobody on the waiter greeted us. No one at the door. Just a sign to say, take menus and sit down. Once there was nothing and nobody. We had to ask table next to us how the new order went. You need to go to the bar to order your food and drinks. That's right at the front door. The big traffic jams standing there try to order food. Once the food was ordered and we paid (too much for what we have) we went back to our seats and still nobody. We were not given to our drinking cups, and when we were about them and where we find them, a waitress who finally recognized our existence, told us we had to go back to get them....or we can use the plastic water cups. Then it went. We have our cups. Found where the well drinks were and were ignored until our food arrived. That was worse than the service. I paid more for the food than the quality was worth. Chicken was bland and cooked. Noodles were not completely cooked and I paid $6 for extra sauce, which was so salty I couldn't even eat. My friends couldn't eat their meals because they tasted chewing beef and seasoned sauce. It felt like they had changed how they order and how they cook, because this was nothing like before, and I was very disappointed. We never had a waiter who came by after our food was thrown off. It almost felt like I had to take my own table, as it looks like no other wanted to come and everything would be as simple as a hello. If you go for the pub atmosphere, serve pub and pub prices, but I won't return to a place that was my favorite restaurant earlier.

The food is always way above average!! I mean it! The bar area is adequate and relaxing, not too cramped. I understand the new way of ordering food has changed a bit but give it a chance, the desire to serve well has not changed. I don't get by here a much as I would like, miles away from my area, but I do when I can. ?

Nik?s Haiku Review: Holy Chicken Parm Great for a family dinner Or drink at the bar The food here is great and it has a relaxed atmosphere. Would be great for a casual date night or dinner with family. They recently changed how you order- you go to the bar place your order and pay and then they bring you the food. The chicken and egg plant parm are excellent.

Wow. Just wow! Came with a group and everyone was raving on what we got. From the service to food to the atmosphere. It was superb to say the least. Best clam chowder I?ve ever had! Filet was cooked to perfection. We shared almost all the desserts in the menu and loved them all. Will definitely be back!

I got the lemon chicken with angel hair pasta (substitute . It was delicious! My waiter, Isaiah, was awesome too. : A nice, chill place to go to.
