I wish I loved this place more than I did.
Would have rated one star, but the staff was kind and very accommodating of my allergy, and the cocktails were excellent.
We dined at Nick & Junior’s on a Saturday night with a party of four.

“We had the restaurant week menu with the additional wine pairings and it was fantastic.”
We had the restaurant week menu with the additional wine pairings and it was fantastic! The picanha steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. The buratta panzanella was delicious as well. The service was excellent by everyone including the manager who checked in on us. We definitely will return soon!

“Really great italian/brazilian inspired food.”
Really great italian/brazilian inspired food. The ambiance isn’t super fancy on the area by bar/entrance, however it does have a nice view of the riverwalk. If you want a more intimate space asked to be seated in the main dining room. The host & server, Matt, was incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

“Really good burger and fresh Yuca fries.”
Really good burger and fresh Yuca fries. I didn’t think the brunch menu had a big variety, it would have been nice if they had more pastas on the menu.

Nic + Junior’s is a new go to for us and what a gem we’ve found tucked away from Michigan Ave amongst the trees. The food has not missed so far. Each plate is delicately crafted in flavor and presentation. Pretty great happy hour menu, too.

“Looking for Brazilian influenced cuisine, head to Nic + Junior's.”
Looking for Brazilian influenced cuisine, head to Nic + Junior's. We elected the A-la-Carte side of the restaurant and wasn't disappointed. A fine selection of Small Bites, Appetizers, Pasta, and Main Dishes. Check out that Rack of Lamb entree.

“Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end.”
Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end. Costumer service impeccable and food remarkable. This is not just one more of the same Italian, it has the Brazilian flavor on it. Please make yourself a favor and try the Spaghetti Moqueca! Dadinhos were delicious too. Highly recommended and planning to be back for the tasting menu soon!
