Come to eat delicious pancakes BUT go somewhere else for your main dish.
My original review for Niddo was written at the beginning of 2021. Since then I’ve dined here a handful of times, and I’ve come to the conclusion that Niddo has lost its edge. After today’s breakfast, I probably won’t come back unless someone visiting the city wants to check out this over-hyped trendy spot.
My only three recommendations:
1. Obviously the pancakes
2. Golden Milk
3. Americano
Kinda recommended:
1. Shakshouka. Just a delicious soup sauce with with no crunch texture. The bread that accompanies the dish is nowhere near enough.
NOT recommended:
1. Croque Pepe. Felt like I was eating tasteless white bread, with almost tasteless cheese, egg and gravy. Choose ANY other entree.
The Good:
+ Picturesque outdoor dining area at the main location and at the satellite location down the street.
+ Aesthetically pleasing food and drink — modern meets rustic.
+ Front of house are professionals at getting people seated.
+ Niddo’s famous pancakes are amazing, fluffy, packed full of flavor and the crème fraîche is the perfect complement.
The Okay:
+ Sometimes the center of the pancakes are undercooked. Personally, I don’t mind it but I know my girlfriend hates it.
+ Long wait times on the weekend.
The Bad:
+ The entrees lack defining flavor profiles. They look great in photos — however the taste is slightly above average just not in line with the prices or visual expectations.
+ Today: Moldy raspberry topping on our pancakes.
+ In terms of quality, portions, and service: Overpriced.
+ Today: Waiter service is flakey. Our waiter completely forgot about our entrees and we had to wait an extra 25 minutes for it to arrive. Also forgot refills for water after requesting.
Bottom-line: There are way too many great restaurants in this area for Niddo to be THIS over-confident and unfortunately lackluster.
