Not that we minded being the youngest couple in the restaurant, but apparently being a senior citizen is the only way you get good service. Upon seating we waited 6 – 7 mins before our server came to greet us, when the majority of the time she was behind the bar writing tickets. We ordered 2 glasses of wine which came in the type of wine glasses you would see in a beach house rental, not a restaurant. The pours were pitifully small which was only highlighted by the overly large glasses. My husband ordered the stuffed mushrooms which were actually large meatballs placed on top of mushroom caps served with a side of pasta and red sauce. Not what you expect to get when ordering«stuffed mushrooms». The crab cakes I ordered were delicious however my husband’s chicken was incredibly greasy and bland. Overall the service was slow, we felt ignored for the majority of our meal, the food was not all that great, and will not be returning in the future.

Love Nina’s, Great Food, Great Service what more can you ask for! Be it lunch or dinner I have not been disappointed. My favorite lunch item is the Club, the bread is amazing… For Dinner it is the Schnitzel. My husband raves over the sausage & Grouper.

Very sub-par. Co-workers and I ordered food to be picked up from here to have on our lunch break at the near by hospital. 2 of us got the buffalo chicken salads, which was a good standard salad with grilled chicken, but the sauce was pure Texas pete-ish hot sauce. Not at all mixed with anything else to tame it down a bit. And there was not enough on the salad. It would have been nice if it came with blue cheese dressing on the side. The Caesar salad was good per another coworker. And even though my husband said he didn’t care for the Milanese sandwich, i thought it was pretty good. Probably not going back.

I was fortunate enough to get here right when they opened. Always love it because I feel that the chef has ample time to cook me up an outstanding meal, and not have to slap something together while it’s busy. I took Dallas M’s recommendation and ordered the potato encrusted orange roughy and it was outstanding. If there’s any reason to come here, its because of that plate. In fact, if you haven’t been here, you have to come have a bite of it. Kudos to the chef, he actually had the time to step out and have a chat, always nice to know who’s making your food, always nicer when he’s friendly. Now for the downsides, and there was a few. As the crowds started coming in, I began to notice that the average age of the clientele shifting from 31 to about 65. Kinda awkward feeling and I wouldn’t recommend this place as a first date, or if you have kids, maybe if you have great grand kids, but don’t bring them if you do. Second the service was annoying, there were two servers there. One acted like he was a spoiled teenager forced to get a job and the other was a beyond acceptable perky girl who put way too much effort to seem friendly. Faker then Barbie, the oldies might not notice it, but I caught on. Other than that, it’s a good place to try out, hopefully you’ll meet the chef and better staff. *The lobster bisque is a no go, so salty and creamy that it threw off my taste buds. Pass on it, it’s not that good anyway. Order the stuffed mushrooms instead, delectable! *The full order of the roughy is a big one, made for two mid-sized adults.

Great food and inexpensive wine list. Rack of lamb is very good. All main courses come with the same vegetable medley(a disadvantage as I would have like sautéd spinach) but the julienned veggies were tasty. Salad comes with the meal so it is a great value to boot.

A fine dining menu with great atmosphere and reasonable prices. Enjoyed New Zealand surf & turf on first visit– potato encrusted Orange Roughy & rack of lamb.
