Profile

No, you don't get to pick out your fish on a glistening bed of shaved ice. Then again, you won't hear the soundtrack to Zorba the Greek either. What you do hear at Uncle Nick's is the dink-dank of little plates hitting tiled tables with the unceasing redundancy of a centipede shod in clogs. It becomes obvious that Nick's extended family is not shy about its bottomless appetite for anything garlicky, spreadable, finger-pickable, and briny. — Hal Rubenstein

Greek-tastic

We had some out of town guests in and picked Uncle Nicks based on some glowing reviews on this site. I am happy to say that the expectations were met and Uncle Nicks delivered a delicious and authentic greek meal. The service was excellent, the food was not perfect, but still very good. Overall I would recommend for some real Greek cuisine.

Love the moussaka

If you can get a table in under half-an-hour, consider yourself lucky. The service is rather slow, but the food is good and fresh. I like the moussaka ($9.95 at lunchtime--a steal!), vegetable or regular; the fried calamari is light and great for sharing. So long as you are not in a serious hurry, this is a great lunchtime option in a strip of real estate that ought to be overflowing with reasonable, tasty food options, but is not.
