Uncle Nick's

03/28/2008 Posted by Hollingsworth

This is perfect place to stop and smell the roses; I loved the cheery atmosphere. Great place to go sip wine and pick and share a variety of mouth watering dishes. I felt like I was at a little wine tavern in Santorini. I recommend the shrimp saganaki or the flambéed Saganaki is a good way to impress your date while you sample from their impressive wine list.

Pros: Best Greek food I've eaten in NYC

Cons: the tapas bar is good for small groups and dates

I’ve had dinner reservations as well as take out order from Uncle Nicks. The staff has always been courteous and attentive, the food is delicious and the restaurant itself is very clean. I love the relaxed atmosphere. I strongly recommend Uncle Nicks.

Pros: Good FOOD

Cons: No NJ locations

I had a great souvlaki chicken sandwich today...the only drawback was that it seems to take forever and the order girl seems really overwhelmed. I'd like to go back and try dinner, although it seems suprisingly expensive for what it is.

Pros: good food

Cons: slow service

Rude, unhelpful and liars to boot. Despite my reservation I was given what I thought was the worst table so I asked to wait until another one opened up. Ten minutes later I was given an even worse table, opposite the kitchen door, where they stacked the plates. When I asked the waiter to move us to a table i saw that had opened up, he told me there was no table available. Who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes? The food took incredibly long to get to the table, and the spinach pie had a soggy crust. It had been clearly sitting in the kitchen since they built the Parthenon. Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go.

If you like cheese, try the flaming cheese. You won't be disappointed. Otherwise, I always get either the gyro plate or the Spanakopita. The place is always crowded, so you know that the food is good. Just don't sit outside on the back patio in the summer cause you will get dripped on by the air conditioners.

Pros: Good food.

Cons: Sometimes there is a wait.

DONT GO!!! I've lived next to this restaurant for 8 yrs. They're food tastes good, no question. However, they keep increasing the prices,and decreasing quantity. Add to that one of the rudest owners and waitstaff I've ever encountered, and I vow never to give them another dollar of mine. There are lots of restaurants around, give your business to someone who actually wants it. These guys are a bunch of a*sholes.

Pros: decent food

Cons: everything else is horrible

While exploring the hell's kitchen area, I found this place by "mistake" or more likely by some good luck. We walked up & down the streets around there looking for a decent priced place to eat dinner, when we decided on a place across the street...the menu selection was bland and the service lousy - never saw our waiter after he seated us, left after 10 minutes...That's when we went to Uncle Nick's. The food was DELICIOUS, and plenty of it! What flavor on the meats! The lamb and pork just melted in my mouth. The layers of flavors were intoxicating! And the flaming cheese...YUM. It was tasty and perfectly "flamed"(?). We took home a couple of desserts, which were incredible. The service, including the handsome Greeks with their accents, was also outstanding. Our water never went empty and our food came within minutes after our horsdeurve (cheese). They have an impressive selection of Greek and other wines, and the one the waiter recommended was perfect with our meal. I can't wait to visit again then next time I'm in NY.

Pros: Flavors, menu selection, service, atmosphere, amount of food

Cons: only open until 11 pm

If you love Greek Salad, Uncle Nicks is the absolute best. Also, the restaurant is well decorated, the waiters are very nice, and all the food is great. Whenever I am in the area I try to go to Uncle Nicks.

I placed an order for delivery at Uncle Nick's on a Saturday night. I waited for 35 minutes when my food had not arrived, so I called to check. They said it'll be on its way soon. After 20 more minutes of waiting without the food, I called again and the Manager now said that he does not even see my order in the system!!!! and wanted me to place my order again!!! He never apologized and even hung up on me. I have never eaten at this restaurant before and I will NEVER try it again. Do NOT place a delivery order at this place!!!

The meat and sworfish were cooked perfectly here! I also thought the Octopus was very very good. My boyfriend and I had happy hour drinks next door and moved over here for dinner. It was reasonably priced for the area and also my favorite restaurant during my 1 week stay in NYC! They had large portions which I felt bad leaving behind since we were going to a show afterwards. I highly recommend it!

Pros: had half bottles of wines and great, perfectly cooked food

Cons: large portions, so i felt bad leaving it since I was going to the
