[...] Dr) with free booze — specifically, mimosas, champagne and wine — and munchies from Nicaro and Olazzo. Oh yeah, and art. Hit it until 8:00 [...]

We ate there last night (early feb)…It was super limited for a vegetarian but I managed to piece together a good meal. The steak my boyfriend got was done well and I enjoyed the goat cheese salad. The risotto was a bit bland and the server a bit rushed but overall a very nice experience.

Rays the Classics no longer serves hard booze? Look, I may be vegan, but even I’m outraged by the thought of a steakhouse that doesn’t also serve up martinis.

Yet another sign of the coming Apocalypse…

Fantastic restaurant — and now that RTC’s has lost their liquor license, Nicaro has a great bar in which to eat dinner AND get a cocktail. Yay!

Editor’s note: Thanks for your comment, Lindsey. As far as The Penguin knows, Ray’s the Classic hasn’t lost its liquor license (they still serve beer and wine). However, Ray’s no longer serves hard sauce. Whether that has to do with a licensing issue is unclear. — JD (Jan 28, 2008)

My husband had the bouillabaise, which was very classic, and outstanding! I had the acorn soup with coconut milk – also wonderful.

Just ate at Nicaro’s last night. Absolutely awesome food – really recommended.

The duck and lamb was great and the pumpkin pecan pie/chocolate bread pudding delish!!

My wife and I really had a nice experience. Salad was not impressive but try the crusted halibut with lump crab on top. It was the 2nd best halibut I ever tried with the best being a fresh catch in Vancouver that cost twice as much. A bit more crab meat would have been great. My wife tried the crab cake and it was excellent as well. The waiter did a great job. The decor is a little bare and it gets loud as a result but overall a great experience. I’m glad there was a long wait at Olazzo that night.

We ate there for the second time last night. It is excellent and a much needed addition to the area.
I don’t reacall any veggie entrees, but there is an excellent goat cheese and fig tart appetizer.

Jennifer, could you marshall the vast powers of the Penguin and convince the nice folks at Nicaro to add some vegetarian appetizers and entrees?
If the food is that good, I’d like to eat there.
