Nick's Sea Breeze Inn is a privately owned pillar of the Sea Breeze community. A traditional Italian family restaurant serving scratch made dishes from pasta and chicken to seafood and steak. My wife had the Haddock French and I had the Ziti with Italian Sausage. Salad and seafood bisque starters. All wonderful. Our server, Michael, was knowledgeable and attentive. Try it. They "set the table with value. "

A bit of a blast from the past restaurant, the type of place you would've gone with your parents when you were a kid, but I still enjoyed the old-school charm. They have a salad bar that was typical of places like this back in the day and I have to admit I have a soft spot for a nice old-fashioned salad bar with soup. Service was excellent. Fresh baked warm bread comes with your meal. Good cocktails.

I've FINALLY ate at Nick's Seabreeze Inn. I've been wanting to eat here for the last 20 years. I could kick myself for not coming here sooner. I ordered the Seafood Fra Diavolo, and it was absolutely FANTASTIC. It's probably the BEST Fra Diavolo I've ever had. Our server, Tiana, was super friendly and helpful. She was also very attentive to our requests. I can't wait to bring my whole family here soon. I know they'll LOVE Nick's.

We were celebrating a birthday and had a wonderful time with delicious food. I had seafood and others had pasta and chicken parmesan. Service was fantastic; we ate at the bar which had plenty of space for our meals which was nice. Have always had great meals here.

Right across the street from the park, this is a very nice place with warm and friendly service. The portion size is generous, and the food was very good. Whether you are capping off a day at the park or looking for a good dinner choice, I highly recommend Nick's.

Accommodated a 10 person party with no problem. We celebrated my son's birthday and the waitresses were great. Good to see Nick still whistling around. Delicious food and I'm glad to see the salad bar is back!

My first time here after growing up in Rochester and it did not disappoint. Feels like a corner stone of the lakeside community. Get the clams casino and don’t skip the chicken French!
