Uncle Nick's Review

For stupendous portions of good traditional Greek food at good prices, come to Uncle Nick’s. It’s a bit LOUD for conversation, but how can you talk if your mouth is filled with one or more of Nick’s Greek dips such as taramosalata or tzatziki, or his tender grilled baby octopus? If you haven’t filled up on appetizers, order one of Nick’s grilled specialties: The lamb kabob is a winner and guaranteed for leftovers, while the gyro plate is a challenge for those with even the heartiest appetites. Seafood is also good, especially the swordfish kabobs. Desserts are standard; you won’t have room for them anyway. Service is friendly and matches the rollicking atmosphere here. Next door is the slightly more intimate Uncle Nick’s Ouzeria, specializing in mezes, Greek small dishes like tapas.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
