Gap Year At Nico - San Francisco

Absolutely a great addition to the dining scene, on top of our list for family celebrations, we will be recommending Nico to fine dining aficionados, friends and colleagues. Great for any occasion.

I went to Gap Year at Nico after having been to Nico a few times. I was very happy to see that the quality service, cocktails and food remained as good as ever. The menu was inventive and delicious and the service was perfect. They also still have the same delicious inventive cocktails. Loved the experience and food!

We had been to Nico three times (twice for dinner, once for lunch), and thought Gap Year was a step above the regular Nico dishes. The presentation, the wine pairing, and the service were all on point. I am excited to try their new Spring menu when it comes out!

Mark my words this is going to be the hottest place, very soon!

Gap Year is serving some of the most exciting food in SF since Altelier Crenn opened. My wife and I dined with Chef Crenn two weeks after she opened (she bussed our table! and left knowing she’d eventually have two or three stars. It’s been since then that we’ve been at a new restaurant and left with the same reaction... until our Saturday night dinner at Nico. Chef and team are absolutely killing it on all counts not only with the food but the wine and service as well — and the care, love and technical precision the dishes are made with is truly mind blowing. The references to the original source recipes are the coolest food nerd thing I’ve ever seen and the fact that everything is washed down with a tsunami of champagne is worth the visit in and of itself. I texted a good friend in the middle of dinner and told him to “get the hell down here,” and while he couldn’t make it that night, I hope he does. If not, he’ll miss out on one of the most exciting and special meals around right now.
