Nico's at Pier 38, which has been featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, recently opened a second location in Kailua, in the spot formerly occupied by Pinky's Pupu Bar & Grill, which was a popular restaurant and bar in Kailua (even Obama dined there during one of his visits to Hawaii!).
It's called Nico's Kailua, and just like it's original location in town, it proudly features top quality, locally and responsibly caught fish.
Lunch service is fast casual - order and pay at the entrance, pick up your order at the window by the kitchen when your buzzer buzzes. Tables are first-come, first-served.
Desserts are pre-packed at the entrance, so don't forget to grab one or two before you place your order.
If you're a fan of pesto, you will love their Pesto Chicken Caesar Salad. It comes with a nice portion of grilled chicken breast, brushed with pesto, served on a bed of crisp romaine lettuce. Dressing is served on the side to prevent the salad and croutons from getting soggy.
Since Nico's is known for their fresh fish, I opted for the grilled fish sandwich. There was no shortage of flavor thanks to the kimchee aioli and mango salsa. The fish itself was very moist.
We split a peanut butter bar which was AMAZING - I wish we had bought two slices. :)
Full service dinner is coming soon!
