Went to a soft opening last night but they were only offering burgers and a couple of sandwiches off the menu.
First of all, the space is beautiful. Way nicer than expected with lots of dark millwork and etched glass. Wait staff wears white shirts and ties; cloth napkins on the table.
It's also bigger than it looks. As you walk in, there is a semi-private dining area straight ahead through etched glass, with another room to the left. To the right is the main dining area with booths along the perimeter and high top marble tables in the middle. They spent a lot of money on the interior.
I ordered the Nic's Original to compare to what is served at Nic's Grill on Penn. It seemed to be almost exactly the same but served on a big plate with a steak knife, which was welcome in order to tackle that beast. It was fantastic.
My dining companions tried some of the other burgers along with the pork cutlet sandwich. All reports were highly favorable.
You'll see the dinner menu below. There will be a separate menu for breakfast / lunch. They hope to open on Tuesday.
You can see they have some high-priced items on the menu, such as a couple of steaks. Whereas a Nic's burger with cheese, fries and drink costs $9.92 at Nic's Grill, here it is $11.25 w/o a drink.
Nic was working the grill and seemed really happy with everything, as he should be. Absolutely gorgeous place and I can't wait to try their breakfast items.
The downstairs bar is kind of amazing. Absolutely beautiful and bigger than I would have thought. They will have all types of beer, signature prohibition theme cocktails and several wines on tap. This is going to be a great spot and there was no burger/grill smell to be detected in the least.
