The Nice Guy is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. My only complaint is if you have a large party, they won't even take separate forms of payment unless you split the bill in half. If you go with 5 or more people, bring cash. It's ridiculous. It'd be nice if they invested in hand-held devices where you can pay for your own portion separately. I was recently in Iceland and never had an issue with parties of 5 or more. This is the only turn-off here. Otherwise, it's a great restaurant!

Beautiful vibe, amazing experience. Came in on a Monday night, there was live music playing and it was really elegant and classy. Food was incredible, we got the chicken parm with a side of red spaghetti and the salmon with truffle fries. Definitely recommend!

It's confirmed, the spicy chicken sandwich is BOMB. It brought back memories of my teen years scarfing down Wendy's spicy chicken sandwiches, but without the nasty sinewy bits or errant fat glob lurking amongst the 'meat'. The chicken was hot and crispy, the chipotle sauce was spicy and creamy, and the veggies were fast food sandwich appropriate. I took my sandwich to go due to covid but appreciated the distancing and strict mask policy while I waited for my food. Service was friendly and attentive. Thanks for the hard hit of nostalgia without the regrets, Nice Guys!

Had the a really delicious MEAT LOVERS Pizza: With Soppressata, Bacon, Fennel Sausage, Pepperoni, Mozzarella. Drinker the HEAD HONCHO: Casamigos reposado tequila, El Silencio mezcal, pineapple, campari, passion fruit, lime. Shaked and served down on the rocks. Excellent security staff, and the bartenders were really awesome with the suggestions and kindness! Definitely I’ll come back!

The decor of the place is so lovely!! It's a beautiful bar. There's a photo booth in the back near the restrooms too which is a nice touch.

Dimly lit, good drinks and apps. Perfect date night location. The only downside is that its a bit pricey and the food doesnt quite live up to the cost but its still a great experience nonetheless

The burger was wonderful !! fries !!Atmosphere was cool ! Chocolate bread pudding! All of my meal was so delicious ! Plus great service and love music

One of the best Nice guy resturants i have ever tried the food is great try the fried mozzerla , ceser salad , pizza and the nice guy burger????????

Came here for an event and it was fun no doubt! I did not try any food but they had good drinks and many libations to choose from. The service is really nice and it was no hassle to get in! It's known to be upscale but not really a strict dress code. It definitely was a good time here and nice for a lounge to have fun and celebrate. It's really dark inside and not that spacious, but not too bad. I will come back here for sure to try the food! I was able to park on the street! -Marshay D.

After years of knowing about this LA staple, I finally got to visit last night to celebrate the passing of my boards! Upon walking into the restaurant, you immediately feel like you're walking into the most elegant and beautiful speakeasy. The ambiance is perfect to celebrate any occasion with a gorgeous setup and classy music. From just walking inside, I knew this place was going to be good. My friend and I decided to order a few things to share so we could try a variety of food. Now for the breakdown. * Strozzapreti pesto - If you are a pesto lover like I am, THIS is your dish! It was so creamy, cheesy and rich in pesto flavor. The noodles were cooked to perfection and it was a tasteful dish all around. * Mushroom pizza - The way a restaurant makes pizza really tells you about the kind of Italian restaurant they are and when I bit into the pizza, I think I transported to Italy. I've never been to Italy but my friend has and said it was very close to what they have there. The crust was so light, airy, and had the perfect crisp. The flavors were rich in fontina cheese and olive oil. Before ordering I was concerned regarding size but it is the perfect size to share between two people. * Roasted brussel sprouts - Brussels sprouts are a pretty simple dish usually but The Nice Guy perfected them! The addition of feta cheese to the dish added a great soft texture and cheesiness to the dish. * Tiramisu and pumpkin cheesecake - You can't go to an Italian restaurant and not order tiramisu. The tiramisu was super rich but absolutely delicious. I do believe this is the best tiramisu I've ever had as someone who's never been to Italy. The pumpkin cheesecake was also very good and brought out all the fall flavors. I was absolutely blown away by everything and don't think I can order a pizza from anyone else after visiting this place. The ambiance is perfect and the food was even better than perfection. All of the staff was very friendly and accommodating to any needs. As for a side note, they do have a photobooth that was free which I think is a great addition especially since no photos are allowed inside. I can't wait to be back and bring more celebrations to The Nice Guy!
