Not the best food I've ever had and given my wife is Italian was unlike any Italian food I've had in 50 years. Food cold as was the restaurant with 2 out of the tasting menu having pass marks. Waitresses terrific apart from one who practically whipped my wife's plate away when she hadn't actually finished. Very disappointed, won't be back.

Sobreprecio - ritmo muy lento, ya que la cena duró 3 horas. Tuvimos que esperar 45 minutos para el primer plato y a partir de entonces una enorme espera entre cada plato.

¡No tengo ni idea de lo que son las malas críticas recientes! Divertido, relajado menú degustación de 6 platos con un personal encantador a un precio razonable. Jai nuestro servidor era encantador. El chef hizo ajustes minuciosos para los requisitos dietéticos incómodos - a menudo sin lácteos significa simplemente perder partes, pero se aseguraron de que cada curso aún fuera especial con algunas sustituciones inteligentes. Un poco de confusión entre libre de lácteos y libre de lactosa en un momento pero muy sensible y todo ordenado. Muy divertido, volveremos - gracias Equipo!

Absolutamente basura. Volvió a casa con hambre y la comida era un desperdicio de £ 170 - podría haber hecho una tienda semanal por el minuto, comida básica en oferta. Basura fría, seca y completamente poco inspiradora. No veo cómo sobrevivirán seis de Nico Southside... Vamos a su juego de gran estilo... ¿creen que la gente tiene dinero para tirar en cualquier viejo tat ... menú degustador solo una broma - Sentí prisa y aunque el personal era agradable, tuve la desgracia de estar sentado en la mesa más cercana al bar y escuchar el lavavajillas y el ruido de la cocina encima del camarero / camarera lleno en charlas entre platos ... probablemente otros en la habitación no se dieron cuenta. Mis manos y pies estaban fríos desde el principio y no calenté y estaba muy feliz de irme . . definitivamente no podría recomendar a menos que no tenga nada mejor que hacer y dinero para tirar ... .

No es mi taza de té, tenía un vale regalo así que lo usé. Menú mexicano algunos era agradable, otros no tanto. ¡La sopa de lubina en el medio era demasiado picante y mató mis papilas gustativas para el resto! Mi mayor problema es el cargo por servicio que se agrega a la factura sin autorización. En mi caso fueron 13 libras. Honestamente voy a dar propina si lo justifica, realmente soy una propina generosa. Pero que se colara en el proyecto de ley estaba en marcha. Pedí que lo quitaran, el servicio no era tan bueno. Estándar en el mejor de los casos. ¡No vale 13 libras! Me pregunto cuántas personas no se han dado cuenta de esto. Hay que detenerlo. Si la gente quiere propina lo hará. Ahora nunca vuelvo ya que no puedo confiar en la compañía. Además, tal vez almuerce antes de irse, ya que no estará lleno después.

Absolutamente increíble! Llevé a mis suegros ancianos a su primer “menú degustación”. Fue mi suegro en las leyes 85 y recordaron de mi reserva información y nos presentaron un vaso de burbujas de cortesía cada uno. El servicio fue excepcional. Lachlan nos entretuvo y todo el resto del personal lo hizo magníficamente bien explicando cada plato y los maridajes de vinos para adaptarse. Teniendo en cuenta que a ninguno de nosotros nos gusta el mexicano como tema para un restaurante, Six by Nico lo destrozó. A todos nos encantó todo, con platos variados como nuestros favoritos personales. Atendieron a mi madre en las leyes a la que no le gusta el pepino. Y cuando tuve una pequeña complicación con un buñuelo de maíz ligeramente cocido, no dudé en enmendarlo inmediatamente y me sirvió lo que resultó ser mi plato favorito. Los vinos maridados eran perfectos. Me encanta el concepto, me encantó la ejecución, me encantó el servicio y me encanta la idea de que volveremos!

Tuvimos una experiencia fantástica de principio a fin con Six by Nico. Aparecimos en el restaurante Albion Street y nos habíamos equivocado de fecha, Mark era muy servicial y aunque este restaurante estaba lleno de reservas y muy ocupado, se tomó el tiempo para comprobar los otros lugares en Glasgow para nosotros y encontró un espacio en el restaurante Byres Road. Estuvimos muy agradecidos y viajamos a Byres Road. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida por Anna y tuvimos una comida encantadora allí. Fue una gran experiencia, la comida era tan buena y el personal era encantador. Gracias.

Have been to six by Nico many times over the years since it opened in Glasgow, and sad to say that as it’s expanded it’s lost its attention to detail. We had the Mexico menu which was fine, a lot or repeated elements and no depth of flavour. The staff were lovely but rushed off their feet, as a result we waited more than 30 minutes for our first drink, and regularly waited 20+ minutes between courses. They also missed the additional course we opted in for, but still charged for it on the bill. A clear lack of management level staff in the premises, and unfortunately after many years being patrons on six by Nico we won’t be back.

We had the New York menu and wine pairing to celebrate a special occasion. The merchant city restaurant is lovely and the staff were very friendly and professional. The food was great (and the vegetarian menu was also good and nice to get something a bit different) and worth the money for a special occasion. Only criticism is the speed at which the courses came out. I appreciate that we had a two hour slot but we did feel quite rushed and it wasn’t a relaxing experience. It would have been nice to get a bit of a break between courses but they literally came bang, bang, bang. That said we all agreed it was great to experience the New York menu but any chance of slowing the service down a bit?

We tried merchant Square venue as we had been gifted vouchers for Christmas. Nice experience of Hanoi tasting menu. Felt the first few courses were a bit big portions for a tasting menu, then the chicken “main” was absolutely tiny……. No wonder there is an add on available (at a price) for this course which was tempura prawn & one between two was sufficient. All in I just expected “more” in relation to flavour. Service was excellent & please note 12.5% service charger is already added on to your bill. We didn’t take the wine pairing as my OH doesn’t drink wine but it looked a decent amount for what was charged. Would like to return to try another different menu.

I had voucher deal for the Hanoi themed food & accompanying wine. Service. On arrival, the friendly waitress advised the voucher we had included a complimentary glass of prosecco. This did not arrive so during the 1st course, I enquired with a passing waiter about this - the look of disdain and grunted reply from him tells me needs to go back to customer service school. Needless to say, the prosecco did not appear. I asked again when another friendly waitress was clearing the 1st course and the promised prosecco finally appeared. Also got impression staff bored with the rehearsed food/wine script they give you - it tells you on the menu anyway. Food. I cannot fault any of the flavours from any of the courses as they were all lovely but not a good sign if you are left feeling hungry after the six courses - not sure if you get less on a voucher deal. Thankfully, there was a good chippy nearby to satisfy my hunger pangs afterwards. Wine. I felt the wines were well matched to each course - looked like maybe 100ml per glass. I was fairly merry on leaving but think this more a result of not enough food to soak up the alcohol.... Conclusion - worth a visit as a treat on a voucher deal (would not be worth full price) to sample the flavours but have something to eat before you go...

Purchased deal on ‘Black Friday’ for 6 course & wine pairing for new Merchant City venue, after visiting Byres Rd & Finneston a few times, loved food and experience - staff were engaging, confident- perfect. Exemplars of good, caring and confident servers led by proficient managers. Unfortunately, Merchant City branch is not. On arrival, I asked manager if we could change seats- she was not happy by her demeanour ( table for two). The staff were doing their very best to cover and make up for the below mediocre food they were serving. First course was tasty, from then all downhill. Cold and unappetising from then on. Disorganised management from chefs to tables. Servers were lovely and tried their best. Management was awful. Maybe, due to city centre location, standards are lowered? Not a good experience and we would not return. Has put us off from visiting Six again.

I really enjoyed the Hanoi menu. Great flavours and beautifully presented food. Staff were very professional and not pushy with drinks. The experience represents really good value for this kind of tasting menu. Love the whole theme concept

The new Hanoi menu sounded very appealing but was pretty average overall. After waiting a while to be asked about any drinks, we were served robot fashion after this. We had pre bought a voucher to celebrate a special birthday and this included the wine pairing. The server was very friendly but we knew every time we had a new wine or new course coming up that the description of each was rehearsed and felt we couldn’t have asked any questions about either as this wasn’t through knowledge but merely a script. As other people leaving reviews have said, it very much feels like a chain now with no real knowledge or passion in the food and experience. The PR for six by nico far outweighs the experience.

The atmosphere was great and on the whole the food was too. But it took 2 hours to serve 4 of the 6 dishes, we actually left after dish 4 as they all became “samey” . The Idea of Hanoi really grasped us and we were so looking forward to our visit, the servers were helpful , knowledgeable and friendly even though they were each dressed in their street clothes which was a tad off putting as we struggled to differentiate servers and guests - but I’m afraid our food was not as expected. We were served the classic portion twice when we had asked for the vege (this added to the in between wait times) the foods consistency was rather like baby food, no crispy noodles as advertised and the foam was more like yoghurt. One of the dishes was so incredibly salty none of us could finish it. Watching the pass was underwhelming as it appeared to be very “production line” like and no real uniqueness. Overall the experience was ok but the food under par (for us) a shame

We had pre bought the dinner and wine pairing as part of the Black Friday offer. We eventually booked for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party at the new Merchant City venue. We arrived 5 minutes before our allocated 4:30pm slot and there were a couple of people waiting at the desk. Within minutes there were probably around 10 people waiting outside the door to enter. At no point did any staff, despite numerous members passing the lengthening queue stop to acknowledge it or even say "we'll be with you in a moment". They continued to clear tables and buzz about until the y could take everyone to their table. We must have hung around nearly 10 minutes. This is our only criticism of our time at the restaurant. Compared to the old venue in Finnieston the restaurant layout decor and ambience is night and day. Service was impeccable as usual (once seated) and the food and rink combinations were excellent.Even at normal ricing with the wine the value is superb but with this offer it was even better and meant we had all the "extras". As stated the only minor gripe was arrival, everything else was magnificent. Onto the next menu......

We were looking forward to visiting six by nico as we had been to the Edinburgh establishment a few years ago and it was excellent. Byers road however was far from excellent. We sat down in front of the kitchen and hoped to see how it was done. All we could see was lines of the same dishes being lined up like a production line. These guys are not chefs and are mearly platng up pre made food. Every dish we had was lukewarm at best. On pointing this out to our server all she said was she would pass it on. The veloute should have been served in a teacup in keeping with the theme, however we were told that there weren’t enough. The courses were served rapidly one after the other and we felt rushed. When we asked for a break between courses it was the ignored and came just as quick. Service was poor and unprofessional. This is certainly not a fine dining experience and more like fast food restaurant. no more than a commercialised chain, this was a Christmas gift and we left feeling extremely disappointed.

Recently went to the new merchant city Six by nico for the Mad Hatters tea party. Decore and atmosphere always nice. Edible menu was good fun. Menu on a whole was fabulous and after doing several different ones it’s always fantastic. However it seems to be more about money making as prices are getting dearer with all the add ons. It used to just be the wine pairing add on which was great and worth the £ but now there’s add on cocktails and sides which aren’t worth the money and take away the classy small dishes. Also getting the bill, there was a lot of mistakes which seemed to be happening to a lot of other people which caused confusion. Servers were great and nice to see so much younger faces.

Was excited to try this with my partner and we mostly enjoyed the food though the association with the theme was honestly rather poor. I saw a review of the same mad hatter theme a few years back, and that looked a lot more fun, with little teacups and savoury biscuit in the first course rather than tumbler of beef stock and tiny scone. On further reflection i now realise none of the courses looked as advertised as can be seen most especially in my dessert picture. While I do understand its a tasting menu, for the price you don't expect to come away still hungry and my cocktail was bang average. Something I'd expect at any much cheaper restaurant. Service was OK but seemed rushed and harried. Completely forgot what course we were on and asked if we had received the 4th when we were waiting on the second. Also had to ask for water twice. Waits between courses varied but one was a good 25 minutes. You really don't expect this sort of thing given the high service charge. All in all I'm not regretful of the experience but probably would go elsewhere in future.

Went to Byres Road with my wife for the Funfair Menu. We arrived a little bit late but that was not a problem. Menus were 6 courses each with well thought out great taste sensations, service was excellent. I have in the past had Home by Nico (where you were supplied all the goodies to cook at home, this was excellent also) Service charge at 12.5% is a tad steep but it was a great meal in a lovely setting with nice staff. I have seen some other reviews and cannot help thinking that some people go looking to complain rather than having a good time. Trust me this is a great experience you will be very happy you went!!

When we entered the restaurant we were 5 minutes late for our 5:15 booking as per the conformation email that I received. We were told that apparently our booking was at 5 and were given looks by the restaurant host. Then after we had sat at the table my fiancé noticed that the host was talking/laughing to our server whilst looking over at us. This made us feel very uncomfortable and set the tone for the whole meal. Then past that we were never given a drinks menu and only ordered water. The waitress came over and gave us the water and asked if we were ready to order, where we ordered the 6 courses. We then waited 10 minutes before the server came back over to ask us what we would like to order, which was very confusing. We told her that we had ordered 10 minutes ago and she was like “did you” and we had to remind her that we had ordered with her. Around course 2 of the meal we decided to ask for a drinks menu and managed to get one. I had to ask a member of staff to take our order and she then didn’t put our drinks through the system. So 10 minutes later, and another course, I asked where the drinks were and was told that they were on their way. Then soon after the person who we had ordered the drinks with came back over and tried to confirm what drinks we had ordered, getting them both wrong. So we corrected her and we got our drinks soon after. I noticed throughout the meal that servers seemed very “busy” and kept saying to customers that they were “busy” but had time to go and sit on their phones in the cloakroom area of the restaurant and also go outside the front door of the restaurant for cigarette breaks. With our 5th course we decided to add on the scallops. Which I added on just as the 3rd course arrived. I ordered both one for myself and my fiancé but when it came it was only one that arrived and when I challenged this I was told that I had only ordered one, with no offer to get another one at the table. The final straw in our meal was when I asked for the bill. The server brought it over and the bill for 2 people was just over £250. Somehow the server had added on 4 vegetarian menu’s to our bill and hadn’t noticed and had I not I would have ended up paying it. Luckily this was taken off and we reluctantly paid for this extremely sub-par meal and left as quickly as possible. I have to say given the look of the restaurant I expected a lot better. We both walked away with a valentines dinner ruined, very disappointed. I think the company needs to have a long hard look at how it trains its staff. Especially when it advertises adding a 12.5% gratuity onto every bill, this to me would make me expect the highest of service standards and I can say without hesitation that this was the worst service that I have had in a restaurant.

I was gifted a voucher for £100 as a Christmas present. I struggled to get booked into the restaurant as the availability was slim. I managed to secure a booking within 12 months but when speaking to a friend they informed me that there was a six month limit on the gift voucher. I contacted six by Nico before my booking to explain what had happened and that I hadn’t realized that the voucher was only valid for 6 months, nobody got back to me before the day I was booked in for so I had to cancel the reservation. When I did receive a response I was informed that they would not honor the voucher to the value of £100. Disappointing from such a large and busy business. I would not recommend buying gift vouchers from this restaurant, it’s difficult to get a reservation.

Fabulous experience sampling The Mad Hatter's Tea Party menu. When each course is served it's expertly explained by serving staff and accompanied by a little theatre. Absolutely delicious food served in beautifully decorated surroundings. I have read some reviews indicating that the tables are extremely close together. This is true but we didn't find it overly intrusive. Overall a fantastic experience.

Went to Finnieston restaurant for my husband's birthday. Firstly, I had tried to contact them to say I was ill, left a message and no one called me back. So had to pump myself full of painkillers to go as table booked for 12.30, otherwise we would've been charged full price. There was no acknowledgement of this when I told our server on arrival. Next, the menu we thought we were getting, the taste of 2023 one, had been changed to the chippy one without us even being told but we were happy to go with it anyway. All was lovely until I got a thick black hair in my beef shin when pulling it apart. The staff kept disappearing out the back so I had to go and find them to let them know. I was happy to change it but unfortunately on the next plating I got the exact same hair again so it was obviously in the shin mixture. I had to go find the staff again to tell them and finally a young woman, who I'm guessing was the manager, abruptly told me I was getting it swapped for the veg option, without even giving me the option or apologising. I asked the young guy who had been serving us what she said as she disappeared after this, and I told him I didn't want a veggie option as I wanted the beef and I'm not veggie. Then the woman came back with an attitude and told me it was because the hair was obviously in the beef mixture so they couldn't guarantee it wouldn't happen again. Meanwhile the chef was in the door area having a moan and rant about it right in front of me, as if I'd done something wrong, because I didn't want the veg option. They then brought me both the beef and veg option but luckily no hair in either. Again, I found the woman's attitude to be very rude and dismissive as if I should be grateful. The food was lovely as always and the young male server was friendly and informative about the food but I just feel like the customer service and communication was very poor from management and they couldn't care less. It wasn't until we got the bill that the manager finally acknowledged the hairs and said they had discounted the bill, but up to that point we were none the wiser. Again, I was made to feel grateful for this by the woman as if it was my fault. I've always loved this place and had a great experience but this just ruined it for us, especially on my husband's birthday. He had to sit and wait until I got a hair free plate with no apology. Really not the quality of service or great experience I've come to expect from Six by Nico. A real shame, as up til now it's always been fantastic and my favourite place.

Not what we would have expected, disjointed service 2.5 hours dining time. Unreasonably Long waits between courses. Plates and glasses not cleared unless we asked. Cutlery not refreshed or offered to be changed between courses again had to ask. Had to ask what wines we were having with wine flight and for drinks in general. I wouldn’t return nor recommend. Members of staff in non six by nico uniform made very little effort to engage with us despite noticing our table full of dirty plates. Food was delicious but the same couldn’t be said for the service.

Was given £100 gift voucher and didn't realise that it only had six months validity. Most places are at least one year. Due to the popularity of the restaurant found it very difficult to get a table each time we looked for a booking. When I discovered that the voucher was only for six months I contacted them to see if they would honour the voucher only to be told they wouldn't an offered me nothing in return for the £100 they got. Please avoid buying the vouchers as gifts in case this happens to you. Absolutely appalling way to treat customers and certainly won't be getting my business in future UPDATE: I contacted the owner and their suggested resolution was a complementary drink. Which I think I'll pass on

Very noisy venue. Tables a bit close together for comfort. Couldn't hear any of the course descriptions. First course couldn't taste the chicken thigh for the chilli and Ginger. Second course was just a potato croquette could find any cod flavour. Course 3 Cauliflower velute was delivered but no spoons to eat it. Had to ask for spoons. The velute was cold and had to wait for it to be heated got it back at barely room temperature. Course 4 sea bass was barely a one and half inch piece of sea bass fillet and was charred black all round the skin - very poor cooking of a lovely fish. Course 5 was chicken breast. The very first bite and I had a large chunk of breast bone almost choke me. Had to wait for a replacement to me made. Course 6 dessert crema catalana underwhelming. We travelled 7hours by car stayed at the Grovenor Hotel specifically to eat here for a Christmas voucher purchased by my daughters. Unfortunately the menu felt very lacking in any quality or passion. Felt very cheap and rushed. Had hoped for a memorable evening unfortunately it was but for all the wrong reasons. The staff did apologise for the food but said due to it being a voucher they could not offer any discount.

I was invited along to Six by Nico to join them in their new Merchant City restaurant to test out their six course Mad Hatter taster menu with paired wine. Who could resist this invitation. The experience was excellent from start to finish I cannot fault it in any way and cannot wait to return for their next theme. The Mad hatter was in brilliant character throughout and the cocktails they made definatetly had alcohol in them. Food was just amazing I won't even try to describe what it was but I still have my edible menu, a cery unique touch. The 6 courses menu costs £40 per person paired wine costs £30 so all in all a great night out in a beautifully decorated restaurant with speedy and friendly service. I would highly recommend a visit to this gem and look forward to the next themed menu to go back and do it all again. Thanks for a great night and to Morgan for inviting me along.

The experience was decent enough and food was nice, but it certainly wasn't a fine dining experience in my humble opinion. Service felt rushed and it was difficult to hear what the explanation of each dish and wine was. Why the wine was paired with each particular dish in some cases remained a mystery. Depending on who brought what to the table, a couple of the team members never bothered to explain. A couple of dishes didn't work in my opinion which is disappointing for a fine dining experience. The tastes were rather uneven on the pallet and some didn't do well when matched with the wine. The quality of the wine was OK but again, with fine dining, it left something else to be desired. I suppose at the end of the day the bill more or less matched the quality if the food, but if your trying to pass yourself off as fine dining, there's plenty of other places doing it far better.... albeit for a bit more money.

Tokyo. We are at Six by Nico Glasgow when Tokyo was themed… I will be honest… the both of us were blown away. I was surprised at how fresh and how elevated the food was and this is a testament to sheer consistency and quality. I really haven’t ate a better expression of Japan and we had a really good day. Staff all friendly and knew exactly how to describe the dishes and were very prompt… 5 stars.. conveyance of top class food.

Have wanted to try this restaurant for a while. It’s a shame the anticipation was better than the reality. The restaurant was cold l, so much so my husband had to put his jacket back on and other guests were sitting wrapped up in jackets and scarves. Service was patchy at best. The waiter would bring out dishes and the explanation of each was rushed so much so we had to ask him to repeat and he acknowledged he was talking too fast but then did it again with each course. There was no order to the service. We got course 1 ahead of the table next to us who were seated before us then they got course 2 before us and this continued on with all the tables. The food was ok. I’m no expert but there wasn’t enough distinction of flavours. A couple of dishes lacked seasoning. The fish supper and deep fried mars bar courses were delicious. I know this was a tasting menu but for £100 I wouldn’t expect to need a real “chippie” afterwards because we were still hungry. Its a shame because rather than feeling like an event it felt like the world’s most expensive starter.

I bought a gift voucher as a Christmas gift for a family member who, it subsequently turned out couldn't use it. Over the past two weeks I've sent 3 emails and 3 online forms asking how to go about getting a refund, but have received no response. Phoning a restaurant only leads to me being advised to email Head Office, which I did to no avail. We've eaten here in the past and it's fantastic! Food is amazing, and it's a great experience, however their customer service is seriously shocking.

Tasting menu restaurants are an experience. They create a menu that takes you on a journey via staging, calibration, seasonality, pairing. The staff are prepared and well-versed on the courses, and create a sense of ease and harmony within the space. SBN models themselves more on a Chinese buffet template rather than the tried-and-tested Michelin one, churning out the numbers as quickly as possible to customers elbow-to-elbow. Eavesdropping fellow diners conversations can be a fun distraction. Becoming acquainted with their skincare routines is not. Every element about Six by Nico screams an early-noughties red-brick catering college final exam dinner. Like their budget-bursting marketing ads, they’re all surface and zero substance, cynically targeting the social media-obsessed generations that cherish photos of food over the food itself. Entry-level “high cuisine” for the seriously oblivious masses. Vacuousness personified. And just like a recent graduate - there is an absence of maturity, experience and calibration. It is all gimmickry, neediness and show. There is no consideration or calibration in the courses. Salt upon salt upon salt. None of the courses compliment the next, nothing to cleanse the palate and break flavour profiles. Just the pervasive, lingering accumulation of salt. Matching the disharmonious food, the clearly NMW staff bellow out the courses disinterestedly and obviously tired by the rotations. Over-working has pulled the effort for charm right out of them. Out of curiosity, when questioned about the produce and provenance - a dull expression is unsurprisingly the resounding answer. We enquired about a drinks flight menu and in turn a drinks menu was produced. Suggestions for pairings were requested and we got to see that now familiar dull expression all over again. High turnover = high profit margins. But using a tasting menu template without any consideration for refinement results in a poor experience. Six By Nico is a beef bourguignon TV dinner - an attempt at fine dining for the budget-based masses. It’s a Soundcloud cover band version of a song you really liked but can’t access. It is a catering college open evening dinner where they try to pass off a quenelle of corner shop vanilla ice cream as their own. It is a paradigm of the vacuous self-promotion and superficiality that pervades contemporary experiences perpetuated by online life, and for that, I congratulate them on cashing in off it. Soulless, uninspired, affordable. A lot like Primark. For point of reference to West End dining, they are doing great things at No.16, The Gannet, Gloriosa, Eighty Eight, Five March, and CB (if you can get a reservation!)

Every element about Six by Nico screams an early-noughties red-brick catering college final exam dinner. Like their budget-bursting marketing ads, they’re all surface and zero substance, cynically targeting the social media-obsessed generations that cherish photos of food over the food itself. Entry-level “high cuisine” for the seriously oblivious masses. Vacuousness personified. And just like a recent graduate - there is an absence of maturity, experience and calibration. It is all gimmickry, neediness and show. There is no consideration or calibration in the courses. Salt upon salt upon salt. None of the courses compliment the next, nothing to cleanse the palate and break flavour profiles. Just the pervasive, lingering accumulation of salt. Matching the disharmonious food, the clearly NMW staff bellow out the courses disinterestedly and obviously tired by the rotations. Over-working has pulled the effort for charm right out of them. Out of curiosity, when questioned about the produce and provenance - a dull expression is unsurprisingly the resounding answer. We enquired about a drinks flight menu and in turn a drinks menu was produced. Suggestions for pairings were requested and we got to see that now familiar dull expression all over again. High turnover = high profit margins. But using a tasting menu template without any consideration for refinement results in a poor experience. Six By Nico is a beef bourguignon TV dinner - an attempt at fine dining for the budget-based masses. It’s a Soundcloud cover band version of a song you really liked but can’t access. It is a catering college open evening dinner where they try to pass off a quenelle of corner shop vanilla ice cream as their own. It is a paradigm of the vacuous self-promotion and superficiality that pervades contemporary experiences perpetuated by online life, and for that, I congratulate them on cashing in off it. Soulless, uninspired, affordable. A lot like Primark. For point of reference to West End dining, they are doing great things at No.16, The Gannet, Gloriosa, Eighty Eight, Five March, and CB (if you can get a reservation!)

I came here with my girlfriend to have the chippie menu. The service was quick and friendly. The food was all delicious and very creative. The Irn Bru Sorbet and the Chips and Cheese stood out for me. My girlfriends favourite was the Steak pie course. The courses and decor were all aesthetically pleasing. I would recommend this to anyone and will be back.

My own fault, but pretty poor to take the money and run... In response to your reply, it's only not possible because you choose not to honour the voucher. You are correct that the mistake was mine...but you have taken the money and provided nothing in return. That is entirely in your gift and reveals the values you hold as a company. PS I notice I'm not the only person who's had a poor experience (with a 2.8 Trustpilot rating!)

Received a gift voucher last Christmas and thought like every other restaurant it would be valid for a year. Tried several times through 2023 to book in but never had availability. I was panicking as the year was nearly up but in checking the voucher it is valid for only 6 months!! Emailed to see if they would honour it but unfortunately this company are greedy and kept the £100 to the stoves. Beware if buying a voucher from them!!

Absolutely brilliant with dealing with my dietary requirements. I'm gluten free and allergic to peppers and even though there was an entire dish based around peppers, the chefs did a great job in not making me feel left out. The music was at just the right level so you didn't have to shout across the table but you weren't getting eavesdropped either. The service was pretty fast pace and though I didn't feel rushed, I did feel slightly timed. They do disclaim that they are very popular and busy so need people to come somewhat in and out but as soon as we finished the last course, the bill was basically immediately handed to us. You have to book quite far in advance due to the popularity of this place but honestly it is completely obvious why this place is such a fan favourite.

Visited here as a treat as it is a bit pricier than some of the local restaurants, but I've wanted to go for a while, and honestly it didn't disappoint. The restaurant is small and usually fully booked, so getting a walk in is unlikely. The staff are attentive and polite without being overbearing. The Thai fusion menu was the theme when we went, the food portions are small, but it is a tasting menu, you are there for the experience, not to get stuffed full. I thought the food was delicious and creative with lots of different elements making up each dish. Being a bit of a fussy/limited eater I wanted to try foods I wouldn't normally eat, and the pumpkin spring roll gave me a whole new appreciation I didn't know was possible for pumpkin. I normally don't eat fish either, but the pan seared bass has completely changed my mind. If you want something a bit different to treat yourself, with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, then definitely try this place.

First time visiting Six by Nico. Thai fusion was our menu. My only reason for giving the restaurant 4 out of 5, we weren't told you could pick and choose between the Vegan/Main menu. Had I known I would have changed the fish courses. In fairness, you are asked about allergies but it's not an allergy it is just a choice for myself. However, staff are friendly, helpful and polite. The food tasted great. I personally feel the price point is just right. 6 courses felt just right. Large choice of wine and other drinks and fairly priced. Overall I would recommend it.

Had Six by Nico on the list to try for a while now and finally got around to giving their chippie menu a bash. Oh. My. Fu*king. God!!! And that's saying something because I'm an atheist, I detest the overuse of exclamation marks and normally I wouldn't give 'small plates' the time of day. But hey Zeus, Six by Nico is tremendous! It's fine dining at its absolute finest. Call me biased, but that it was the chippie menu that introduced me to the restaurant was probably fitting as any skepticism I entered with was blown away from the first bite of food. I never knew chips, cheese and curry could taste like that. And I've tried many variations of this dish after a few scoops at the weekend. Even with the six-dish tasting menu dazzling the taste buds, it was startling that the star of the show was desert. Featuring an irn bru sorbet, deep fried mars bar and chocolate pave. Words don't do it justice. If you've never been to Six by Nico, do yourself a favour and book it. Do it now! If you've been before - book a return visit. It's a phenomenal establishment and well worth the visit.

We came here for Mother’s Day. Booked for 3 people for a 10am slot and as first guests in, we were seated right next to the door on a four person table. As it was draughty outside, we asked to move to the three person table closer to the corner. Nobody else was in the restaurant. The waitress begrudgingly gave us the other table, mentioning multiple times how they were fully booked. She then explained which parts of the menu weren’t available today. One person from our group has an egg intolerance so when we ordered, we asked for scramble tofu instead. We were then informed that there was no scramble tofu but she also didn’t offer any other substitute - meaning they charged £8 for a roll with 2 potato scones and some avocado spread. Another person had an avocado allergy. The waitress was informed about this at the beginning of the order and when asked if the avocado could be substituted with spinach, the waitress said that there was no spinach on the menu. Only after pointing this out did she acknowledge it and the substitute was made on the order. However, throughout the breakfast the person started feeling sick, only to discover there was avocado on the other side of the sourdough. It seemed like the kitchen had put on some avocado, then realised the order and just flipped the slice of bread on the other side. We all finished food and after 30 minutes with no interaction a new waiter came to take away our dishes after multiple attempts to get the attention of staff without being rude. We informed him of the avocado and he apologised and took the item and the drink of this person off the final bill, which we appreciated. This used to be a great food spot and I have had many good good experiences in here over the years. It seemed customer service from the first waiter was not her strong point and gave the distinct impression everything was a problem to do.
