J Nichols Kitchen

J Nichols Kitchen Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: J. Nichols features high-backed plush booths, contemporary wood accents and an open-air feel.

Food & Drinks: The menu is influenced by seasonal ingredients and a modern approach. For lunch and dinner, guests can indulge in burgers or salads. But it’s the staple breakfast menu that has kept diners returning since the restaurant’s inception in 1974. The marina Benedict, available on weekends only, includes two heaping towers of poached eggs on grilled English muffins, topped with spinach, avocado, tomato and a lighter-style hollandaise. Elevating the flavors of an otherwise typical plate of huevos rancheros, a dense and layered guajillo sauce hits the palate with smoke, pepper and a slight sweetness. Desserts include a brownie sundae and Key lime pie.
