It was around 5:30pm when we reached York, ME and I was starting to get hungry! She was as well! I pulled over and decided to look up places in the area and stumbled upon Nikano’s a town over! When we got there, we were greeted with a smile and the atmosphere of the establishment blew me away. It’s an outside seating restaurant with a small bar and an amazing menu full of great food. The bartender was beyond friendly and every single person there, staff and guests, were so so so nice to my girlfriend and I. We didn’t have a reservation for a table so we sat at the bar! It was a welcoming experience. She ordered the tomato flatbread and I ordered the lobster flatbread! Wow. Who knew a flatbread and a beer could taste that delicious. We haven’t felt secure about a place to eat in a long time. And it was our first time in the state of Maine! What a flawless experience. Thank you to Nikanos and to that sweet couple next to us that made us feel like we were at home. When I find myself up that way again, I know exactly where I am stopping to eat. 11/10.

We were fortunate that the friendly hostess managed to find two seats at the bar in this fully booked restaurant. The male bartender was excellent, although the couple sitting next to us noticed that the female bartender seemed to ignore us and focused solely on the customers ordering alcoholic drinks, which was unprofessional and rather disappointing.

Clever use of space. Nice simple menu and friendly staff. read more Clever use of space. Nice simple menu and friendly staff.
