Was here on 12/29/12. The atmosphere was calm. Space between tables was roomy which allowed for conversation with your companions. Service was attentive although the servers were a bit untrained in how to serve the food. I noticed a server was struggling to place a dish to the right of a diner at the next table (she was standing by... More

This is what MichlinStar food is all about. Niki accomodates your every wish. Don't worry if one or more of your party has food allergies or likes. Niki is sweet and nothing is too much trouble.
