nicely done

Good job, that

Nicely done is an expression of approval or congratulation for something well executed: Nicely done on the presentation.

It acknowledges competent work without excessive enthusiasm—warmer than adequate, cooler than brilliant.

The phrase works for completed tasks, performances, or clever moves: You got him to admit it? Nicely done.
