About Nick & Sam's
Black-and-white checkerboard floors, white tablecloths, a glass-fronted wine room and a glittering ceiling in the main room frame one of the city's busiest steak dinners. The kitchen sends out prime ribeyes, tomahawks carved at the table, seafood towers and calamari, with the raw cuts presented before ordering, and celebration cakes arrive with sparklers and confetti. A lively bar area adds to the noise, and Google lists live music among its highlights. Dinner runs nightly from five, from 4:30 on Friday and Saturday, and until eleven from Thursday to Saturday. Google prices it at $100 and up a head and rates it 4.3 from about 4,300 reviews. Servers win steady praise and families mark birthdays here, but the front of house draws the complaints: waits of 20 to 45 minutes past reservation times and tables squeezed into the bar walkway. An early booking brings a calmer room.
