Went for My friend's 40+ birthday. Previously never heard of the place, But so glad I was introduced. Spoilt for choice on the specials board. I decided to go for the most expensive steak at £25. My wife went to the cheaper option lamb chops. She was gutted as she had food envy for the rest of the night. My... More

This place really lets itself down as they have very young staff that make you feel like your doing them a favour!! Very unprofessional and not in the least bit friendly, this applies to both the waiting on staff and the bar staff. We waited quite a while to book a table due to reading mixed reviews - however I...

I normally love the food at nicks but our last visit was disappointing. I ordered the beef stroganoff with rice and it really had gone downhill since the last time. The meat was tough and chewy and the rice was hard. Hopefully this was just a blip as the food is normally fantastic. Excellent service as always though.

We went to Nicks for my mum's 70th birthday. When we arrived, the bar was fairly busy and had a good atmosphere. The restaurant is upstairs and was about half full when we arrived. The menu was quite extensive, probably too much choice if anything, but the dishes we chose were nicely presented and everyone seemed happy with their food.... More

Hi Mrs Watkinson, I am sorry to hear about your recent experience at our Bolton restaurant and can assure you, we take all complaints seriously. I am led to believe that our Rossini sauce was not up to our usual standard, this has now been taken care of ( our usual Madeira wine was out of stock so had to... More

I have been to Nick's several times now and both service and quality have been completely consistent. - Excellent! Nothing is too much trouble. It is a restaurant NOT a bistro or brasserie therefore people that complain about price are not being fair. Fresh ingredients, great meat and fish with excellent presentation. Great for couples for a special occasion, or... More

Dinner with friends on 27/4/13. Very underwhelming and service didn't live up to the prices on the menu and neither did the food. Catalogue of errors on the order eg bacon on top of goats cheese starter for our vegetarian friend, uncooked tasteless fish on a main course had to be sent back, one sardine on a piece of bread...
