An Exceptional Dining Experience at Nick the Greek!

First time here! I loved my food very much because it was delicious and fresh, there was good service, nice ambiance, and great music too. I would definitely come back here again for my second visit.
The food is good, the Beefteki is great. But the chicken souvlaki, is low quality chicken. And I wish they offered Coke. But we have to talk about the service. It's on a different spectrum. Very very slow. Over 30 minutes! That's not sustainable. The ambiance is okay, music is very loud for being in the suburbs. It's not LA, love the music style, but too loud. The crew and customers are all taking loudly just to communicate. You would expect the manager offer some concession for 30 minutes of waiting.

Randomly realized that this place just opened up. With that, everybody should bring their patience as this new location gets busy with a line out the door. There may be a small wait time for food that is freshly prepared. This is a welcome addition to our neighborhood. We stopped in and ordered a gyros sandwich with a side of fries and a drink. I also ordered a kids souvlaki or chicken kebab with rice. Probably took about 20 minutes to receive the food that we were initially going to take home, but we decided to eat in the r... read more
Came in on day two of them being open and they were running like it's been forever. Service was quick and the food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. It was delicious! I had to fight my kids to eat some, because they quickly wanted my lunch.
So excited for Nick the Greek to be open in San Clemente! I will definitely be a regular here. The staff are friendly and kind, the quality of the food is outstanding, and the location is great. The chicken souvlaki plate is 10/10.
Attended the grand opening in San Clemente today. The line was out the door with people anticipating the free tasting menu. The service was outstanding considering the large crowd all patiently waiting in line. Every staff member i interacted with had a bug smile on their face. The location has plenty of parking and the restaurant itself, has plenty of seating available. I tried the souvlaki plate, to go. It comes with chicken, rice or fries, tzatziki, pita bread and a side salad. While waiting for my food, i was mesm... read more
