Nico Kitchen - Newark

Incredible dinner before our show in njpac and the best waitress we've ever had, surayyah. She's so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Great place, classy.. A little pricey for food. Drinks were great.. Highly recommend the lemonade drink!! Bartenders were awesome, place got really busy as the show was going to start. I'd 1000% go back if I was in the area or went to a show near their again! Had a great time!

Post COVID, the choice of restaurants near the PAC have dwindled: Maize at the Robert Treat hotel has closed. We ate here tonight pre-show and had a delightful dinner. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is attractive and airy, and the food was expertly prepared. I would dine here again in a heartbeat. I furthermore was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and it’s presentation.

Good food a great place to go before a show. Happy hour and Friday nights can be live for a restaurant of it's size. It doesn't have an extensive menu but likely everyone can find something they like. Solid cocktails and wine available as well.

Nico Kitchen Bar is a very nice restaurant. When we arrived the atmosphere was very nice except for the female hostess. She had an attitude and was not friendly at all. Once we were seated our server came a greeted us. Jasmine is a breath of fresh air. Very friendly, informative and personable. She gave us a perfect fine dining experience. My husband and I were in town July 22, 2018 for a concert at NJPAC which is connected here and made a reservation for convenience. We made a great decision. The Nico burger was perfection. The beef was top quality. The beers on tap were fresh and were served at the right temperature. If you know beer you will definitely tell the difference. Jasmine suggested the creme brule' after we enjoyed our cappuccinos. It was delicious. I wish I had of got my own instead of sharing with my husband hahaha. I definitely reccomend this restaurant. Ignore the hostess' attitude and ask for Jasmine. Jasmine will surely take care of you! Jasmine and the quality of the food are why I am giving 5 stars.
