Nik's Italian Kitchen And - Austin

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 byhere a much as I would like, miles away from my area, but I do when I can. ????

I will start this by saying I appreciate the efforts made to stay open during Covid and having to change how they operate to facilitate that. With that being said, they need to try again. This place used to be amazing. Their food was top notch and thesame with the staff and service. But now...I feel as if I wasted my money. I went with a group of friends and we were shocked tosee that no one on the waitstaff greeted us. No one at the door to greet. Just a sign to say take menus and sit down. Onceseated still nothing and no one. We had to ask table next to us how the new ordering went. You have to walk up to the bar toorder your food and drinks. Which is right at the front door. Major congestion standing there just trying to order food. ????Once food was ordered and we paid (too much for what we got) we went back to our seats and still no one. We weren't given ourdrink cups and when we asked about them and where we find them, a waitress who finally acknowledged our existence told us we hadto go back up front to get them....or we can use the plastic water cups. Then walked off. We got our cups, finally. Found wherethe fountain drinks were and were ignored until our food arrived. That was worse than the service. I paid more for the food thanthe quality was worth. Chicken was bland and boiled. Noodles weren't fully cooked and I paid $6 for extra sauce that was sosalty I couldn't even eat it. My friends couldn't eat their meals because of how they tasted, chewy beef and over seasonedsauce. It felt like they changed how they order and how they cook because this was nothing at all like it used to be and I wassorely disappointed. We never had any waitstaff come by after our food was dropped off either. It almost felt like I needed tobus my own table since it seemed as if no else wanted to come by and say anything as simple as a hello. If y'all are going forthe pub atmosphere then serve pub food and pub food prices but I will not be returning to a place that us

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.

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.
