We
joined
great
local
friends
last
night
at
Nico's
Pier
38.
They
chose
the
restaurant
and
as
it
turns
out,
I
believe
that
this
is
the
same
restaurant
that
I
saw
years
ago
on
a
Places
to
eat
show
on
the
Good
Network
or
Travel
Channel
or
something
like
that.
When
it
first
opened
it
was
a
very
casual
restaurant
serving
food
in
styrofoam
containers.
Today,
it
looks
more
upscale
casual
and
open
air.
Last
night
there
was
live
entertainment,
a
Grammy
award
winning
singer
George
Kuo
and
he
was
outstanding.
Beautiful
guitar
player
and
singer
with
a
brilliant
and
colorful
Hawaiian
sound.
For
dinner
we
shared
calamari
($16),
Poke
Sampler
($23.50)
as
appetizers.
We
ordered
Grilled
Peppercorn
Swordfish-Green
peppercorn
and
five
herb
marinated
grilled
swordfish
topped
with
sauce
vierge.
Served
with
garlic
mashed
potatoes
and
house
vegetables
($26)
and
Furikake
Pan-Seared
Ahi
-
Fresh
tuna
ahi
steak
coated
with
Japanese
dried
seaweed
and
sesame
seeds.
Served
with
your
choice
of
rice
and
house
vegetables
with
our
famous
ginger
garlic
cilantro
dip
($26).
I
had
never
had
Swordfish
before
and
this
was
a
very
tasty
and
flaky
culinary
creation.
The
calamari
was
prepared
well
and
perfect.
The
Poke
Sampler
was
really
really
good
and
large
enough
to
share
or
to
just
have
as
a
meal.
The
Ahi
was
also
very
tasty
and
prepared
nicely.
For
dessert
we
ordered
a
very
tasty
and
light
cheesecake....so
very
good.
They
have
a
case
of
desserts
that
you
can
pick
up
to
go
also
that
I
passed
on
the
way
to
the
restroom
and
I
think
I
would
love
to
try
several
more
desserts.
Service
was
as
attentive
as
we
wanted
and
needed,
the
restaurant
is
dog
friendly
as
there
were
several
families
with
dogs
dining
around
us.
This
is
a
nice
restaurant
and
nice
casual
attire
is
very
welcomed.
We
highly
recommend
Nico's
Pier
38.
Mahalo
to
our
wonderful
friends
who
treated
us
to
this
amazing
food
and
drink
experience.
