"With several locations in Los Angeles and Orange County, the Carlsbad outpost of Nick’s shines as a casual place to find staples like large, filling salads and burgers alongside favorites like the “bistro plate” with petite filet mignon. Crowd-pleasing drinks at this always-busy spot include the bright Mi Guayaba with aperol, tequila, and guava, as well as the earthier Lions Tails with rye whiskey, Sorel liqueur, cinnamon, lime." - Candice Woo, Helen I.
