Our server, Margaret, was fantastic, and Manuel, the host, was extremely helpful and friendly in arranging our group's reservation. The restaurant is very clean and appears to have been recently renovated. The prices are quite reasonable. The calamari is out of this world—I’ve never tasted calamari with such incredible flavor. Everyone ordered steaks, but one was overcooked and dry. The rest of the food was good, though. Given the multiple reviews mentioning overcooked steaks, it would be wise for management to listen to customers and consider making some kitchen adjustments.

I ordered the Papa's pasta while my husband went for the steak. We both had salads as well. My pasta was fantastic; I got to choose my noodles (I followed Ado's recommendation and went with penne) and it came with a red sauce, chicken, and garlic bread. The steak was high-quality beef, cooked to a perfect medium rare. We didn’t stick around for dessert this time, but we’re definitely looking forward to returning soon to try it!

Everything was tasty but wish they had a larger selection of sides with items such as squash or broccoli/rice casseroles, black eyed peas, etc. Entire staff was very friendly. Wife and I enjoyed a relaxed meal and will return.

It is a gem for Sherman who until Papa Nick opened had no restaurant of this class. The food was fantastic with some of the best and generous cuts of steak. Their ribeye cut was phenomenal. I look forward to seeing them soon!
