The food was VERY good. We split tapas after having a tough time choosing as there were many appealing options. Mac n cheese with shrimp and clams was delicious, plantain nachos were excellent, and cheese and asparagus was very good. Seafood paella entree was excellent but a small portion for $26! Drinks were inventive and the short wine list has basic options. I recommend the Tempranillo although wines were priced higher than expected (even for Restaurant mark ups).Service was excellent, we've never been made more welcome. Our server, Danny, was great! He was friendly, personable, knowledgeable and seemed to be a genuinely nice guy. Other staff were also pleasant and helpful and practically fell over each other to thank us for coming.Why only 4/5? The price, frankly. I know good food with good ingredients isn't cheap but small portion tapas ranged from &12-$15 each. Too much money for the plantains, the small mac n cheese and absurd for eight spears of asparagus with garlic and some melted cheese.We didn't have dessert.Restaurant has free parking, nice decor and is only three minutes off the Belt Parkway on Cross Bay Boulevard.Again, food and service were great, but if portion sizes don't increase to match prices, or prices don't come down a little we will only visit occasionally after payday :).

Wow. Good food near JFK. After a long week, ended up at Greek Taverna prior to flying out in AM. Enjoyed the house salad with Pita and Kota Gemista (stuffed Chicken breast with Spinach and Feta. Delicately and simply seasoned, made fresh, great flavors. Accompanied with a couple glasses of Pinot Noir. Perfecto. This is a neighborhood spot with plenty of repeat customers. Far superior option to hotel food.

Last time I reviewed this restaurant, 5-years ago, it was my first time there. Now we've been there countless times and Nick's never disappoints. From great service (waitstaff assists all tables at all times) to a good bar and incredible food - it's all fabulous. On this week's visit I ordered the Special Appetizer of the Day - sesame coated feta cheese with a honey drizzle. I cannot wait to eat this deliciousness again! Yay Nick's - you've done it again and again!
