    What a delight to finally experience Nigel’s. Staff was welcoming and friendly, food was great. We had a wait for our beverages but our server let us know there were large parties and a new bartender. I didn’t know about the dress code and wish I’d been a little better dressed (I had jeans and a sweater on) to fit in with the fun vibe of so many dressed up. I just made another reservation to go again.
