Nicole's - Albany

This was my second time visiting Nicole’s. It was my husband’s first visit. I had a great experience during my first visit, so I wanted to share it with him. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed this time around. Despite this, I still have fond memories of my first visit and am willing to give them another chance. In their defense, they comped our meals and explained that they had new kitchen staff and it was the waitress's first day back at work.

The portions are generous and the service is excellent at this restaurant. I ordered the hazelnut chicken and shrimp scallop scampi, both of which were delicious. The chicken had a sweeter taste than I anticipated.

I love it at Nicole's. Everyone is super friendly and the food is delicious. This was actually my last brunch before leaving Albany , since I just recently graduated from Ualbany. I will certainly miss this place and will definitely stop by again if I am ever in the area again. I got the carrot cake pancakes and egg flatbread. My family got the steak and eggs and chicken and waffles. We all enjoyed our food and the staff was so kind and attentive.

Excellent selection of drinks and the short rib ragu was incredibly delicious! We’ve also been here a few times for brunch and it is hands down the best quality in the area! Highly recommend.

The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is delightful. This restaurant never disappoints and is always worth a visit.
