Niko's Tavern Elgin

Good place.. unfortunately they don't have any steak on their menu..Steak sandwich does not count..

Well prepared meals in a clean and friendly atmosphere. Service was courteous and friendly. The dinning area and restroom were clean. Big screens throughout too. I will definitely return for another visit.

Nikos is the best! Not only is the food delicious, but the staff and owner are awesome too.

The food was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the new specials they have right now. We visit often, so we expected to love the food. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. However, I couldn’t help but notice that the music was playing at unbearable volumes on a random Thursday in an almost empty restaurant. I have a feeling the emptiness might have been due to the loud music. I can understand having louder music on a Friday or Saturday, given that it's a bar, but on a weekday with hardly anyone there? It would have made more sense to turn it down, especially since it was so loud that it made it difficult to enjoy our meal. Honestly, it felt like dining in a Hot Topic store would have been quieter. Interestingly, I didn’t see the owner tonight, and I suspect that might be why someone decided to crank up the volume. We ended up taking the rest of our food home because the atmosphere made it uncomfortable to stay. Our server was excellent, though, and I want to emphasize that this isn’t her fault. It’s unfortunate that our experience tonight fell short because we truly enjoy coming here.

I absolutely love everything about Nikos. The food is outstanding and the service is excellent. The waitstaff and bartenders are incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is just right.
