Perfecting the art of steaks and oysters at Nix at The Wharf


Finding a good steak and baked oyster is fairly easy to do in Pleasure Island. But to find outstanding food staples like those is a bit more challenging. It's like the martini — any bartender can sling one, but it takes that special touch to stand out. Such is the case at Nix Steaks and Oysters, the new eatery and premier live entertainment venue on Main Street at The Wharf, and they're quickly earning a solid reputation for their superb steaks and baked oysters and other menu items.

The menu was the collaborative vision of Sherry Odom, director of operations at Nix, restaurant designer Karen Hameroff and Nix owner Nick Dorich. The menu is also reflective of Dorich's Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast background where he was in the nightclub and food business. Something Dorich wanted to do with Nix was successfully cater to the locals.
