One of our favorite date night spots! Reliably amazing food, easy options for gluten free, vegan, and some complicated medical restrictions. Friendly staff and a nice, casual feeling inside and outside setting. The stairs make it physically less accessible.

I have so many good things to say about the food, staff and experience of working with and eating at Pizza Shark. Additionally, they have vegan and gluten free options! We had food for 130 people delivered for an event; ALL said they loved it and wanted to go to the restaurant First, I ate there, the food was delicious, the place was spotless and the staff were engaged. After eating there I decided to try them for our large event. Sadie was attentive, reachable, knowledgeable and so helpful. On the day of the event, she reached out to me to confirm delivery details, told me she was giving my number to the person delivering who would then follow up. The person delivering, JC, made a dry run hours before to be sure he knew where to deliver. He called me; it was clear Sadie had filled him in, he even knew where we were serving the food in our fairly large building, without me telling him. We have not had this experience with other food events. The cost was competitive with other places I called but the service and attention to detail were stellar. And no, I have never met Sadie and she did not pay me to say any of this 😈 Trust me. you won't be disappointed.

Celiacs beware... This was the first time that we had ever been to Nico's. The atmosphere was super fun with the Christmas theme. There were lights throughout the restaurant, as well as Christmas music playing. I would say the music was a bit loud, but other than that the song selections were fun. The food was amazing, and I thought that the prices were reasonable for the amount of food that you got, especially for a city restaurant. Restaurant. However, we were disappointed with the service. I cannot eat gluten, it makes me very ill. I had wanted to order the seafood tacos, and I asked if they were made with flour or corn. The server told me that they come on flour tortillas but you can order them on corn tortillas. Immediately after she said that, I said I would like two seafood tacos but I would like them on corn tortillas, because I cannot eat flour due to celiac. She could hear me because she commented to the effect that she would would prepare the tacos with corn tortillas. As we were sitting and waiting for our food, we noticed that our waitress had taken a shot of tequila along with the bartender. When we received the food, I did not think to double-check that the tacos were on corn tortillas. I ate the first one and thought that the flavor seemed off. As we're eating, she took a second shot of tequila with a bartender. When she came over to the table, I asked her if they were corn or flour tortillas that I was eating. She said that they were flour tortillas. I asked her if she remembered to put in my order as corn tortillas. She said she could not remember if she did or not. She then asked if I'd like something else. I said no, because at this point I've already consumed the gluten. I made a comment that gluten makes me sick, and I cannot eat it. Her response was a carefree attitude, "Sorry about that." In my opinion it was an unapologetic statement. For the past two days now I have been so sick. It was a very disappointing end to a restaurant with a fun atmosphere and good food. Due to this issue, and the insensitivity of the waitress, I will not be returning. I'm curious about her tequila shots, had she had any before we ordered our food? Is that possibly why the order was incorrect, and her apology was not really an apology?
