Chez Nick 8.7
Yorkville
Vibes: Pet Friendly Paradise Date Night Magic Brunch Bliss Spots Trendy Table Hotspots
Opened in 2020 by chef-owners Bobby Little and Chad Urban, Chez Nick serves New American plates, cocktails, and brunch in a dimly lit neighborhood bistro that doubles as a dog-friendly hang. Outdoor tables and some indoor sections welcome pups, drawing locals who pair ricotta toast, lemongrass pork steak, or brunch dishes with a walk to nearby Carl Schurz Park. It’s one of the stronger date-night-meets-dog options in the eastern stretch of Yorkville.
Must-Try Dishes: Lemongrass Pork Steak with Garlic Fried Rice, Ricotta Toast with Honey and Hazelnuts, Pan Seared Branzino
