Nick's on 2nd Long Beach

Had a great time here! Drink menu was good, I had the Black and Blue Mojito (I think that's what it was called) super delicious. Also had the shrimp taquitos appetizer. Loved the different textures and flavors and the shrimp tasted fresh. Food came fast although I was dining on a Monday and my dinner party consisted of just myself. Also had the warm butter cake and can I just say - OH MY GOD - one of the best desserts I've had. It's a really intelligently crafted dessert, very rich and decadent with the berry compote adding just the right amount of sweetness, also a good desssert to share with others. Staff were super friendly, table and silverware were very clean/tidy. There's also an overall pleasant/good atmosphere in the restaurant. Great experience and would definitely go back if I visit Long Beach again.

Date night location. It's romantic and has good dessert to feast on such as the butter cake, it's a must have 9.2/10 due to it's butter smooth taste. You'll enjoy. I ordered the sea bass. It could have been better but definitely a good dish, 7.1/10. She ordered the blackened fish sandwich. It's huge and will get messy. She liked it, 7.2/10. Ordered the spinach dip, this was a highlight, I ate every ounce. 9.3/10. Location is very clean, the staff is nice, the kitchen view was cool. I would go back again but not often, there is better out there.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! This was my first time at Nick's on 2nd. The food was the best and it is now my favorite place to dine. The service was impeccable - thanks, Jessica! Yes, I did order the lemon cake, and no, I didn't eat all of it! I did eat every single asparagus sticks! Lovely

The perfect little date spot. I know there's plenty of them around this city. But whether it's with a friend or with a lover, it's the perfect little date spot. The food is impeccable and the service is amazing for how busy the restaurant is all the time.

What an amazing birthday lunch today! Nick’s has been a family tradition for celebrating. Today was one of our best experiences by far, Jessica our server was so exceptional, her caring & kindness to my family was beyond expectations. Thank you & really appreciated the complimentary birthday cake! What a surprise

Nick's on 2nd is everything you want for a weekend brunch spot--elevated comfort food, great service, and a lively, upscale vibe. We started with the deviled eggs and tomato bisque with grilled sourdough--simple but done right. The soup was creamy and bright, and the deviled eggs were a surprisingly flavorful bite to kick things off. For the main, I had the short rib hash with broccolini and sunny side egg--this was the standout dish. The short rib was tender and rich, and the velvety hollandaise brought it all together perfectly. It came with a fluffy house biscuit that was just chef's kiss. We wrapped it up with the French toast topped with whipped cream and caramelized banana--sweet, soft, and decadent without being too heavy. Everything felt well thought out and made with care. Highly recommend for brunch lovers who want a little indulgence in a beautiful space.

I've been to Nick's in Pasadena before and had a great experience. However, Nick's on 2nd was something else. I came here for a work related lunch with one of my favorite clients and had the best experience with our server, Jonathan. I ordered the Center Cut Filet with mashed potatoes and it was so tasty! It was done right. I also ordered an espresso martini which was great along with some spicy margs. We ended the lunch with dessert which was also good! I would come back here in a heartbeat because of the service we received with Jonathan. He was attentive, knowledgeable of all the entrees and drinks (my client and I were so indecisive on what to get and Jonathan broke it down and gave us recommendations) and was super patient about it! Anytime you come here to celebrate something, they gift you a congratulatory card signed by the staff. It's a simple gesture yet so thoughtful and makes the entire experience even better. My client told Jonathan I just moved into a new place and the card was to wish me a happy housewarming. How cute is that? Lol. I parked in a public parking spot about a block away. You can also park on the street if you find a space.

Nick's on 2nd: A Mixed Bag with a Delicious Payoff Nick's on 2nd in Long Beach offers a culinary experience that, while initially rocky, ultimately delivers on flavor. Our recent visit started with a frustrating hitch: despite confirming our late arrival via text, we were told upon reaching the restaurant that we'd missed our reservation. The hostess dismissed our text confirmation, and the manager echoed her stance before eventually, and graciously, seating us next. It was a slight bump, but one that could be easily avoided with better internal communication regarding reservation confirmations. The ambiance can be a bit lively, bordering on loud, but the exceptional food and drinks quickly overshadowed any initial annoyances. The appetizers were a highlight; the shrimp taquitos were perfectly crispy, and the deviled eggs offered a delightful twist on a classic. But the undisputed star of the meal was the seafood cioppino– it was truly delicious, a creamy, flavorful masterpiece. Despite the initial hiccup, Nick's on 2nd proved to be a worthwhile dining destination with a menu that consistently impresses.
