Six by Nico in Leeds

Your visit is entirely dependent on the severs you get. We had a few, some of which were incredibly knowledgeable and gave a 5 star experience. Some of the others did not know what they were serving and when I asked what was on my allergen dish they said "I have no idea, but you can tell it is different by looking at it". Does not fill me with confidence that my autoimmune disease is being taken seriously.

We have just had a fantastic meal at Six By Nico. The food was exceptional, and the service was excellent. They have one of the most friendly managers in Leeds ,Silvia, who takes time to get to know people and is exceptional at her job , a credit to how well Six by Nico does in Leeds.

"Having previously dined at 6 by nico in Manchester we were excited to attend the Leeds version as our Manchester experience was fantastic. I have to say this experience at Leeds was a huge disappointment, the staff seemed rushed and slightly un organised. The quality of food was disappointing and the extra course which was not cheap was poor quality. Overall a really disappointing night and sorry to say we will not be back."

Fantastic Italy menu. Food was faultless, and varied courses were served. Place was full so atmosphere was buzzing without being too loud. The service from the waitresses was among the best I have ever received, friendly, and knowledgeable of every course served, a breath of fresh air well done girls . Will definitely be back soon and can't recommend highly enough

A fantastic venue! All staff encountered were amazing, attentive without being over bearing, informative and just generally outstanding customer service.So many foods I wouldn’t have considered trying and all amazing!We attended using a gift voucher received at Christmas so a great opportunity for us to try the restaurant and we will definitely be booking again!

Always great food and the staff are great. Recommend A++++

We've been 4 times now, and we're ready to give it a miss now. There is definitely a novelty factor with this place. The meal is an experience with the staff explaining dishes and wine parings to you. The food is amazingly presented and of good quality. The portions are small, but since you get 6 courses, it is enough. It is good in that you try food which you may not have tried otherwise. It is also a nice experience to have the different wine parings. Our biggest gripe is that although it usually tastes nice, the food is nearly always lukewarm on the verge of being cold. We sat near the pass this time, and you could clearly see that plates of food (which were ready to go) were just sat there underneath the hotlamp for ages. We counted at least 5 minutes for many dishes (and the lost interest in counting). I appreciate that it is affordable fine dining, but you at least expect the food to be warm. We also had a 25-minute wait for the bill this time, which was a bit of a joke. The novelty has well and truly worn off for us now. We're in no rush to return any time soon.

Arrived at the restaurant and slightly underwhelmed by reception and service. There was also a smell on drains. Having to order your own drinks at the bar slightly disappointing and front of house a little abrupt. However once seated at our table staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and also the wining paring worked wonderfully. We would definitely return for another themed night.

Fantastic food, enjoyed the theme but didn't feel overwhelmed. Amazing value for money to experience a tasting menu, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Also, going as a couple with allergies (Dairy and Nut) we felt well catered for, and the staff were incredible at making sure the dishes were right! Fantastic experience and would go again.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Each dish was very well presented and tasted very good. The wine was very well paired with each dish. Altogether a lovely experience. I would highly recommend a visit. We really enjoyed it all.

We’ve been many times and it’s always amazing but this one was exceptional. Service was amazing and good so tasty. Wine pairing I would recommend and would definitely do again. Can’t wait to come back.

Went for a celebratory anniversary dinner, couldn’t fault a single aspect of the experience, concept fantastic and very clever, attention to detail second to none, as was the service from everyone, in particular our waitress Grace.

Fabulous menu, amazing service and the most tastiest of food

Went last Sunday with our son and his girlfriend for our son’s birthday. The theme was Murder on the midnight express - great interactive fun, and a menu travelling through Europe. The food was was absolutely gorgeous, and all four of us throughly enjoyed it - will definitely be back for other menus.

Came here for the first time with my fiancée. Oliver was our waiter and I’m purely writing this review to give him credit to how amazing he was, a real credit to the team. He was so knowledgeable about everything we were eating and really made the experience worth it. We went for the cocktail pairing, which I would really recommend as not only are they amazing but they pair with the dishes perfectly. Oliver also walked us through the meals and the cocktails which made our first experience here not only perfect but an experience of a life time. Will definitely recommend and will be back. See you when the next murder mystery comes out!!!!!!!

me and my finance came here for the murder mystery, our host Oliver was absolutely brilliant. he recommended us a beautiful white wine at the beginning, which complemented the rest of our meal well. and when we were served each course he described tony’s the flavours and inspirations behind each dish as well as each cocktail which complemented the food superbly. Give this man a raise. love lots from oli and ruby

Went to the Murder on the Midnight Express theme. It was so well thought out. Our waiter was we think Max? He was great and explained everything with real enthusiasm. Can recommend the cocktail pairing. Will definitely be booking again.

Loved the experience and the food. The staff is amazing.

A wonderful dining experience. The standard price is really reasonable for the quality, but it can get pricey when you start adding on the extras and a drinks package. The staff were lovely, helpful, and well-informed about the dishes. The menu themes are quirky and imaginative and the food is really delicious!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Six by Nico, and it was an absolutely outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Sylvia and the team, looked after with impeccable service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Would definitely recommend

Outstanding food and great service. Gluten free option available with no fuss either. Fantastic.

Murder on the Midnight Express - BRILLIANT What a great menu, great staff and service and great value. The additional dishes you can add on are well wroth it also. The only thing letting this place down is that its perhaps got one or two tables too many so can feel a little crammed and noisy BUT that didn't detract from the quality of the food or service. Can't wait for the next menu to come out!

Cramped and noisy. Average food, not resembling the hype and marketing at all, tepid heat at best, most cold. Wine flight pretty poor, supermarket £5 bottles passed off as something special. Murder mystery was the saviour. Watch out if you have used a voucher. Our final bill using a pre-paid black Friday £100 voucher came with extra £18:50 discretionary 12.5% service charge as it applies to the pre voucher cost of the meal. It is discretionary but the guilt trip to just pay it did embarrass some customers to just pay. Seeing the next 40 covers starters laid out on the counter when leaving also added to the feeling of a mass produced production line.

Thanks Six by Nico for completely screwing our valentines plans 💔. Despite being booked since 1st December you dropped a bombshell the evening before and haven't been contactable until 5hrs before to advise you wont be honouring our booking 😔 not even a courtesy of a call and pre populated email response. Nice public response 🙄 I have emailled countless times to the email you've supplied and had no response

This was our first time visiting six by nico, I've seen previous menus and loved how they perfectly set a scene. This menu perfectly aligned with my birthday so we thought we'd book it. The food was brilliant with the option to add on snacks if you're feeling particularly hungry. The theme was fab, every course came with a clue to solve the murder mystery. You can tell a lot of thought and care was put into this experience. My only improvement would be to have the music match the menu. Maybe some classical music could have set the scene. All in all it was such a great experience, our server Sam went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely time. Can't recommend it enough!

Blockbuster📼 An immediate throwback to the days of returning your tapes to the store. With a tape of taco placed at your table, you know you’re in for an evening of entertainment. The first course, an “Aged Comte, Hazelnut & Serrano Ham ‘Taco’” is the perfect appetiser to your night ahead. The shell is crunchy, the individual ingredients sing out on their own merits, and the aged Comte is beyond anything I’ve tasted in a single bite. 🍄 Toadstool This mushroom dish is unlike anything I have ever had before, as a self proclaimed hater of mushrooms, this is something else. The maitake takes on a taste adventure of its own, surrounded by delicate flavours that remove my one peeve of all mushrooms - the texture. This tastes like a bite of the countryside exploding with flavour. 🏕️ Let’s go Camping Visually this is my favourite dish - a little campfire is served to you, making home feel oh so much closer. The aged belly and pork sausage complement each other so well that you’re craving more. Also, a special mention to the romesco sauce, had every last drop. 🐟 Fish Fingers & My First Sushi This is the mind blowing moment, three separate elements, all equally astounding flavours. The barbecue coley is so unbelievably delicate, next to a miso carrot to bring the flavours back to earth, just to be combined with a lobster emulsion that sends you back to heaven. Alongside this, the tempera prawns change the game, with a wasabi emulsion that is to die for culminating in the best dish of the night. Guess who⁉️ I won’t spoil this dish as the title intends to keep its mystery, but this past classic brings your senses back to a grounded place to finish off with a bang. ⛄️ SNOWBALL FIIIIGHT!! For a person who actively dislikes coconut outside of anything that isn’t a pina colada - this blew me away with my expectations of what can be done in a taste combination involving desiccated coconut. The chocolate is just strong enough to balance all those flavours that you are craving, with a coconut parfait and yoghurt “snow” that hits its crescendo with the ever so little, but more than plentiful lime gel. It’s a pallet cleanser and a half.

Visited for the Murder on the Midnight Express menu. Absolutely fantastic evening!! Great interactive experience and so much fun. Got everyone talking to each other on other tables to try solve the crime! Food excellent and wines very well paired. Been many times here and others and this menu was one of the best. Waiter who was called Sam was brilliant and also got involved in the experience! Great evening!

Nice experience, spoilt by the management on the day so wouldn't rush back. Very disappointing being misled to book at experience at a weekend with a voucher bought as a Christmas present. Used the voucher code at the same time as the booking to get there on the day and be told we couldn't use the voucher. Poorly advertised T&Cs, very shortly was changed after we visited and complained. We weren't the only ones complaining about the use of the voucher as when we collected our coats there was a larger group having the same issue at the entrance. We don't live in Leeds so to say we couldn't use it on a weekend without prior communication before we arrived was very corporate and has put me and my partner of going back. I hope future customers are put off by this way of dealing with customers.

We loved our experience, the Murder on the Midnight Express was such a great concept and having to solve the murder with each course coming with a clue was so fun and added an extra layer to the meal. The meal itself was delicious, we enjoyed every course, and I myself am gluten free and they did an amazing job at making it easy for me. Our server was Grace and she was absolutely lovely, really on the ball and gave us a great experience (was even better when we got chatting about our love for cats!). The only thing I would say is that the music was way too loud and booming, the club style music just didn’t add to the atmosphere and was uncomfortable to sit through. Otherwise the experience was perfect, and we’ll definitely be back, especially if they have another interactive meal! Thank you all!

Review of Six by Nico We recently visited Six by Nico with a voucher for a 6-course tasting menu and wine pairing. This visit was a thoughtful gift to us. Upon arrival, I explained to the staff that I didn't drink a lot of wine and asked if we could change to the cocktail pairing, gladly willing to pay the additional fee. Initially, they agreed but later retracted, stating that they couldn't accommodate our request. We ended up having to pay the full amount for the cocktails, which was quite disappointing. The drinks are prepared to complement each course, so we couldn't understand why there was such inflexibility in their policy. Moreover, we noticed inconsistencies in the service. It seemed that we were overlooked when it came to checking with the kitchen for some of our courses, as customers who had arrived after us were served before us. This was rather frustrating and put a damper on our dining experience. Given the current competitive dining scene in Leeds, one would expect customer retention to be a top priority. Unfortunately, this experience has led us to explore other dining options in the city. Overall, while the food may have its merits, the service and inflexibility we encountered at Six by Nico were enough to deter us from returning.

We did the Mystery on the Midnight Express Tasting Menu today and it was the most amazing and unique dining experience we’d ever had. We were all impressed from start to finish with the concept. It was so interactive and we were so engrossed in the mystery and trying to solve it using the clues. The food tasted absolutely unreal and the most importantly our server Umar was the nicest and funniest waitor I’ve ever had a restaurant. He made the experience so special with his acting, humour and service, a real credit to the company and to the experience as a whole. Every staff member we interacted with was very nice and professional. Thank you to the whole Front of house team and chefs that made our family day out so special!!

15 minutes late to seat so you have to buy a drink or stand around looking guilty. Squashed into a little corner, that does not fit a big chap. Food absolutely abysmal. Especially when you see food prepared on a counter waiting up to 24 minutes, yes I timed it. Then to top it of you are asked to give a donation on your bill, then a service charge of nearly 20%, and finally there is a box on the bill for tips on top. No I will not visit again, try taking management to Brown's at the Buttercross to see how it's really done, fresh and delicious End of rant.

I’m not happy with the after service. I emailed them my complaints and they seem to think it was ok to force me in to tipping.

Visited Saturday for the first time as had received a voucher for Christmas. Voucher had no other terms and conditions stated on it other than must be used before 31st March. We arrived to be told we could not use said voucher. When making the booking I had put the voucher code in the notes section. Nowhere in the general terms and conditions does it state vouchers cannot be used on a Saturday. The staff member directed us to a tiny option to another page on the website that said Black Friday terms and conditions. The staff member did say many other customers had also experienced this issue hence proving the terms and conditions are not clear. I contacted the person who purchased the voucher who stated it had not been purchased during Black Friday and just before Christmas and when she purchased there were no stipulations about days. We were told we could have a £75 value towards the bill which meant we would have to contribute to the 2nd person’s taster menu and also would not receive the apertif drinks on the voucher. At this point I walked out as I could not believe this was how my first experience at the restaurant was happening. Not wanting the £75 value to be wasted we continued the booking. The overall experience in the restaurant was good and excellent service from the staff. Upon leaving 3 other couples were at the service desk all experiencing the same issue we had. There is no difference in monetary value of the taster course on a weekend compared to a weekday so I don’t understand the stipulation of not to be used on a Saturday. It tainted the whole experience of the visit to the restaurant. I have also contacted customer services due to us not receiving the full amount of the voucher. It has been a few days now and no reply from Customer services and my review on Google is the only one to not receive a reply from the restaurant!

Decent food but very very crammed, tables are tiny annd stacked next to each other. And they apply a massive 12.5% service charge.

I have been to this Restaurant twice as my wife likes it, but I'm afraid I don't .Try as I may I just don't get the concept of 6 small dishes that are average at best, most are pretty awful really, It's a gimmick Ideal for the social media photo brigade . Quite simply the food isn't good enough ,I'm sorry but that's how I feel.

Really good food and service. Really enjoyed the six course tasting menu - Nostalgia. I had the Time to grow up course which was my favourite. Umar our server was very friendly and made the experience feel extra special. Thank you ☺️

Food was delicious and our server Umar was great, answering all our questions and made the experience really enjoyable- thank you!:)

We keep coming every 4 months. Nostalgia menu didn't let us down. Great food, service and atmosphere. Love it

For my review, I shall give a more summarised view rather than the blow by blow account some reviewers give… Visited on 30th December 2024 (a bit late reviewing I know!), the Chippie Menu was on and it was fantastic. Personally, I found the paper napkins worked as they should, and overhearing other diners’ explanations didn’t detract from the experience. The food was superb, no one gave us a 15 minute count down towards the end. The service was exquisite, I believe it was Grace who provided the majority or the service and she was attentive, informative ans gave her own thoughts which were far from scripted. All in all an excellent experience, shall certainly be back, thank you Six by Nico Leeds version 😊

Great first experience at Six By Nico after being recommended to visit by my sister. It’s a fun and bustling restaurant, serving excellent food! Will definitely be back!

This was our first visit to Six by Nico, a restaurant highly recommended by several friends. We’d initially planned to visit a few months ago but had to cancel, so we were particularly excited to see if the experience lived up to the hype. We had a 12:30 PM lunch reservation and arrived a bit early, but this was no issue. The staff were welcoming, took our coats, and showed us to our seats promptly. However, our initial impression of the dining area was less than ideal. The tables were extremely close together, to the point where I had to squeeze between two to reach my seat. This layout meant we could clearly hear the private conversations of diners on either side of us, which made it feel like we were sharing a table with strangers. While we eventually got used to it, this lack of privacy detracted from the experience. Additionally, I was disappointed to find that paper napkins were provided instead of linen. Given the price point, I believe linen napkins should be standard. We opted for the “Nostalgia” tasting menu, priced at £44 per person. We also added a sourdough bread course with beef-dripping butter for an additional £10. While wine pairings and a cocktail menu were available, we chose to order our own drinks and water. The first three courses were excellent. Each dish was well-executed, and our waiter explained them thoroughly. Unfortunately, things started to unravel after this strong start. Course four, a “fish fingers” dish, was decent overall, though my coley was slightly overcooked and had dried out. Before this, we had been asked if we wanted to try the “My First Sushi” course at an additional £6 per person, which we agreed to. However, this dish never arrived. Initially, we assumed it might come later as a separate course, but when course five—titled “Guess Who”—was served, it became clear the sushi dish had been overlooked. “Guess Who” was a chicken-and-egg-themed dish designed to invite diners to guess its name. Unfortunately, we had already overheard the explanation at the neighbouring tables, which spoiled the intended surprise. Adding to the disappointment, the dish itself was served cold. At this point, I brought up the missing sushi course with our waiter, who was very apologetic and offered to serve it immediately. However, I declined, as the flow of the tasting menu had already been disrupted, and it no longer made sense to insert the course out of sequence. The meal ended on a high note with the final course, which redeemed some of the earlier missteps. Our total bill came to £134.75, including a service charge. Interestingly, the receipt still included a space to leave an additional tip. Given that service charges are now required to go directly to staff, it felt unnecessary to tip twice. Overall, the experience lasted about 90 minutes. While there were standout dishes and moments of great service, the cramped seating, overlooked sushi course, and occasional missteps with the food left the experience feeling inconsistent. Would we return to Six by Nico? Perhaps, but only under the right circumstances. We would consider going back as part of a group of four or more and only if the menu particularly appealed to us. While the restaurant shows flashes of brilliance, our first visit fell short of expectations, and there are areas that could benefit from improvement.

A mostly enjoyable lunchtime dining experience, and if you’re able to stick to just the main tasting menu offering it lives up to the promise of being luxury dining that’s more accessible to all. The decor of the restaurant is very pleasant being modern and clean, and the open kitchen is great to watch. While they’ve maximised the space, the tables aren’t too cramped and you’re still able to freely get out whenever you want. We took advantage of an additional starter and aperitif before the meal, which certainly helped to make it feel more of an occasion. As a result we got to overhear the ‘preamble’ for the two tables either side of us, so when it came to introducing the menu to us it did come across more as a well revised script, but perhaps it gets more natural towards the end of each menu cycle. It’s pointless describing the food in too much detail given the frequent menu changes, but every dish was presented well and with good and interesting flavours. There was the ideal amount of time left between each course and a good overview of each dish provided. The pairing wine option worked well, with good pour sizes for the food size, and again a full description given for each although felt rather unnatural in delivery. The big disappointment came at the end though. Upon booking the table you’re given a two-hour slot but fifteen minutes prior to the end of it, while still eating the final course, we were advised the table would need to be vacated very soon. Having indulged in the additional course at the start and been at the mercy of the kitchen’s serving speed throughout this felt a little unfair, especially given the large number of vacant tables throughout the rest of the dining area. Despite the ending I would return and if the menu at the time looks appealing would recommend for something a little different and memorable.

Whilst my self and my husband love a tasting menu we couldn't wait to try out his Christmas gift. However unfortunately it didn't love up to our expectations in the service category. The food was remarkable but am afraid to say the service was a let down. When we arrived we were told to take a seat anywhere near the bar we waited without a drinks menu so my husband went to locate one no real problem there. When we were taken to our seat we weren't offered to take our coats so I had to sit on mine which was a long cloak not ideal. The tables were so close to the couple sitting near us were felt we were sat together and really struggled to get in and out with out disturbing each other. I ordered the vegetarian option and my husband the normal. Whilst we didn't have the same waiter throughout I was brought the wrong dish containing fish which was already too late as I had eaten it I'm fully accepting of the fact that accidents do happen but to then charge over £25 service for such mistakes does feel a bit of a kick in the teeth!! When we were leaving we were asked whether we needed our coats getting 🤷 no one once offered to take them. All in all come for the amazing food but don't expect the same level of service.

Avoid! I will never recommend six by nico or dine here in future. This was a special occasion with my sister and the wizard of Oz experience was not as advertised what so ever extremely underwhelming and disappointing. This review is based on food, quality, lack of cutlery when serving food. Such a shame. Won’t attend again

A perfect blend of modern cuisine and traditional flavors. Highly impressed!

Excellent in every way. Great lunch and excellent value and service by Will.

We had the festive roast and the first three courses were lovely. Small but very tasty. We then moved on to what you would consider as the main…the three bird roast. We added the “ultimate” Yorkshire pudding at £6 each. The roast was so disappointing. It was minute. It came with a carrot half the size of my little finger and the meat was so small the three birds were indistinguishable. When we were leaving we saw much larger portions coming out the kitchen. The Yorkshire pudding was a slice of a small pudding and was supposed to come with stuffing inside but as far as we could tell that was missing. The opposite of ultimate. The sauce had been sat on the dish for so long it had skin on. It was also cold. We were so hungry by this point we ate it all in about 3 mouthfuls. We told the waiter how disappointed we were and one of the yorkshires was taken off the bill. The last two courses again were tasty but small. The Brie and mice pie was laughable. A slice of Brie that again was so minute I could hardly even taste it. Photos of the main and the Brie/mine pie attached. We left hungry and unsatisfied. But over £150 lighter! Will not go back and cannot recommend which is a shame as were were so excited to try.

Loved it, great food and wine . Service by Charlie was great 👍

Absolutely amazing. I feel like it has to be described using the M&S voice: 'this isn't just any meal out, this is an experience' 🤗. Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere, and very attentive, and knowledgeable service (if that's a thing). Can't wait to try another theme. This one was Sunday Roast. If you haven't tried it yet, get it booked 😃

Having had a very disappointing ending to our meal yesterday, I thought I’d check it out on here to see if we were simply a mistake, but it seems that the business needs to accept a little feedback to get back to where they started. Food - kicked off late, gf was well catered for, could have explained what we were being given a little more. Service - not great at all. Culminating in being told we had 2 minutes to vacate our table as we were literally eating the last mouthful of our dessert. Apparently the next people had arrived already and we had to leave. When queried we were advised that most people found they could eat their 6 courses in the 2hr time slot and asked if we were late! Then automatic service charge and charitable donation. I hadn’t appreciated that it was a fast food taster menu restaurant.

Can not recommend this place enough!!!!! Staff are amazing at there jobs and lovely on top! Food was amazing and I’m a chef myself. You also get the benifit of seeing you food being cooked and plated! If you book here you are not booking a meal, you are booking an experience …. So don’t wait just book! Thanks to all the foh staff and chefs!! Keep up the amazing work You will be sick if the sight of us we are going to be there that much!

The whole experience was a let down. Left waiting for 20 mins before being seated. No welcome drink as advertised. Menu had been changed two days before we went. We had no knowledge of this as we only look at our emails every few days. Food bland and often cold and the revised menu was not to our tasting (Had changed not the one we booked) Restaraunt not intimate more like a canteen with tables crammed in. First server left with no explanation and we awaited 40 mins before we ate anything. Liv our second server was good. The staff had only found out that day menu was changing so spent most the night apologising to guests Head office handling of our complaint very poor too

Had to share that I was very impressed with both the standard of food , the variety on the Hollywood menu and the service in six by nico leeds. The whole experience was superb. I will definitely be back.

We had visited Six by Nico Leeds before in the Summer, as the Canary Wharf restaurant used to be a firm favourite of ours when we lived in London. In the Summer, there was a terrible fruit fly problem which we were informed was caused by one of the units next door and was out of management's control. I emailed back in September to ask if the flies were still there, and the response from customer service hinted that it was still an issue, so we decided to wait until the weather was colder in the hopes that they would have gone. Upon arriving we still noticed the problem, but it is not as pronounced as in Summer. We booked onto the Sunday Roast menu for £35pp, although upon arrival we were handed a menu for the Festive Roast priced at £44pp. Most people within our vicinity complained that this change in menu was not communicated to them in advance, and there was frustration at being told to pay more for a change in menu they were not aware of. We were told we could have the Festive Roast menu for the same price as the Sunday Roast, however we were still disappointed as we didn't like the look of the menu and would not have chosen it, especially as we travelled an hour to visit. In terms of compensation for this mistake, we were given 2 mocktails and 2 of the snacks for free. The add-on course we did have to pay extra for, which was fine. It seemed to me that people only were given compensation if they specifically asked for it. The drinks were delicious! In terms of the restaurant, we did find that there seemed to be even more tables packed in than last time. I understand that having more tables means the prices aren't as high, but there wasn't much elbow room and it felt quite cramped. Our waitress advised that head office had changed the menu at short notice, and she was very frustrated as she didn't know the menu (waiting staff have to describe each course when presenting it). Sounds like there is a definite disconnect between head office and the restaurants, and most staff were exhausted at having to explain the same thing over and over again in addition to waiting on an overcrowded restaurant. For the food, I mentioned two of the courses I did not like the look of, and the waitress was really nice in helping to find a suitable alternative. I found the courses with meat in were a bit stingier than usual, which was a shame given that the Festive Menu is usually more money for the same number of courses. I don't think the quality was any better than the other menus. The Yorkshire pudding was quite soggy so could have done without that. Other things I took issue with were more to do with my tastes, so can't complain about that other than to say I wouldn't have booked the menu knowing in advance what it was. I did note though that the women sat on the table next to us, although they were quite pushy and kept saying they didn't like any of the food, weren't offered the same as me, and the waitress actually kept rolling her eyes and complaining about them really visibly. At first she pointed at them made a gagging motion and laughed with her colleague, and then as the two ladies left she said 'thank you', then waited for them to walk away further and said 'please don't come again', before laughing with a couple sat in the restaurant next to her. I did find this quite unprofessional. I understand the two women were being difficult, but at the end of the day they did not receive what they had booked, and told us they couldn't change the booking because they had a voucher that was almost expired. They also told us that a few months prior they had booked onto the Italian menu for it to be changed to the Istanbul one, but as they were given notice for that they changed it in advance. At the end of the meal, many tables around us were charged the incorrect amount and had to request revisions to their bill. I had counted up £70 + £12 for the add on course + the service charge which I believe was 12.5% . I walked over to pay as we were in a rush on the way out. I saw it was the incorrect amount, and tried to talk to the waitress about it, but she assured me it was the correct amount with the service charge on top. After leaving I tallied it up myself and can now see I was overcharged by £5. As I was leaving our waitress asked a colleague to send someone to help as she was 'drowning'. I felt really bad for her, as she was so busy and clearly wasn't supported enough. Overcharging can be an easy mistake, I just felt like they were so busy I didn't want to be a bother asking for a £5 refund, it just would have been nice for them to get it right. Overall, this is probably one of the lower standard experiences in Six by Nico, however this doesn't mean I wouldn't go again, I just hope that this review and others like it encourage head office to look at how they are communicating with restaurant staff, and to support them more in busy periods so that the dining experience is more relaxed.

If you want nice pictures of food for instagram then go here. If you want nice food, drink, atmosphere and service then go somewhere else.

It was a very lovely experience, i definitely would be trying it out again, the staff were very amazing

BTW-they asked for further feedback in the response to the review which I took time to provide, of course I never heard back, so reducing my service score to 3 This could have been excellent, the service was great and the food interesting, however whilst the plant based menu was decent it had one massive flaw that showed carelessness in design. There was zero protein across the 6 courses. A focus on vegetables is great and all we're cooked well, but it is important that across a menu there is variety and a lack of protein is something that suggests a 'will it do' attitude to the vegetarian/plant based option. Some tofu, seitan, pulses, even some charred broccoli would have easily added this component to a dish. This small thought or addition would have elevated this menu to where it could have been. It was enjoyable, service great and decent value, but please consider the menu a little more next time.

Amazing food and knowledgeable servers. All meals are themed.

A taster menu - Land of Oz - thank you to Conan and Liv and the rest of the team for awesome food/drinks/smiles/warmth etc. It would be wonderful to return 🥰

me and my partner had so much fun here! we were celebrating our 3yr anniversary and they gufted us some prosecco and wrote us a little card:) so sweet! the food and service from our waiter will was amazing, we loved our experience! thank you everyone!!

Possibly the worst dining experience I can remember. This is effectively a canteen style production which customers seem willing to lap up because they call the food a tasting menu - this is a poor excuse for a tasting menu! On arrival we were asked to have a drink at the bar, but as soon as our allotted dining slot arrived (5 mins later) we were hurried to our table - no option to actually have ours drinks at the bar. Lighting dreadful - bright overhead lights (adding to canteen feel). Napkins were paper and every course came with new cutlery reminiscent of that you’d find in a school - heavy cheap scratched and even a few bent tines. Food was bland or poorly designed (a chicken stock drink with goats cheese?!), ingredients were cheap, nothing to savour at all. The experience was rushed as we were not even allowed to finish our drinks at our table. All of this is reflected in the admittedly cheap price of £44 but you really do get what you pay for. Land of Oz? More like Emperors new clothes.

We had a fabulous time at Six by Nico! We had the Land of Oz menu and it was spectacular. The flavours and appearance transported you to Oz! I have been a few times to Six by Nico and I loved this menu, however it’s not my favourite. The menu is on the sweeter side of the palette. Saying this I read the menu before booking and knew this, but I was just so excited about the theme. It’s a must try whilst the menu is still on!

Hollywood Tasting Menu, la comida era agradable, pero nos sentamos a esperar 20 minutos para nuestra mesa y tuvimos que recordar al personal que habíamos reservado y nos registramos. Un servicio muy ocupado, mesas demasiado juntas, no se apresuraba a regresar.

Went for the Sunday Lunch Experience.The two stars is earned almost entirely by the waitress. The food was okay, only one meal was hot. Table was next to the kitchen, constant clattering. One female chef drinking lucozade with headphones on, another female chef with blue hair throwing food at her male colleague who was the only one making any kind of effort in the kitchen. No hats, aprons or hairnets used by the same female individual. Then to top it off a bin was dragged through the dining area leaving a lovely lingering smell. Would not recommend, especially at £87.95 for 2 lots of 6 small plates and 2 diet cokes.

This was very disappointing! I booked in hope of a wonderful roast dinner but the whole experience was so underwhelming- the service was SO slow, the food was mediocre at best & it was so overwhelmingly busy- too packed full of people. It was not an experience I’d like to repeat. Also portion control rubbish

We didn't eat but asked for a cocktail. The bar guy was amazing and asked what flavours we liked then made individual cocktails. Staff were really friendly. Food smelt amazing but we didn't eat there on Thursday s occasion. Would definitely go again.

Was blown away by how good this place was, especially for the money. Each course had variation. The service was exceptional.

Food was amazing but the staff are a credit to this place. They were so attentive, helpful & knowledgeable all evening - they really made the experience.

A great dining innovation at affordable prices. Super food, which feels like fine dining without the Uber costs.

Amazing food "Hollywood experience' Service was fab! Every one of the team who we encountered were fantastic. Food was quality! Really enjoyed ourselves on our anniversary! Will go back for every menu change! Thank you!

Really enjoyed a birthday meal here. We tried the Hollywood menu which was delicious. The service was brilliant too, it was great to have each course described and explained each time. It's a tasting menu, so you don't leave feeling absolutely stuffed, however I was definitely full enough, and there are add ons if you are particularly hungry. The price is very reasonable too, will definitely be back to try other menus.

Came here for the first time for my birthday for the Hollywood menu and had the best experience! All the staff were very kind & professional and added elements to make my birthday special. We were mainly served by Margaret who was warm and welcoming throughout the whole experience, she was very knowledgable about the menu and we felt very well attended too. The food was incredible, every course was delicious and very well executed to the theme. As well as this, the ambience in the restaurant is incredible. We will definitely be returning.

Six by nico is great for those who are wanting the luxury experience of a tasting manu but can't afford the prices. The food is always presented amazingly and tastes great. It's so lovely you can see into the kitchen with what the chefs are doing. Truly an experience. The only complaint I would have is that you can feel like you're sitting on top of each other but if you're like the hubby, he can chat to anybody! Always reccommend to family/friends!

I come here very regularly, I absolutely love the concept, I always find the staff so friendly, and they always find the time to chat, even when it is so busy. We usually have the wine pairing and found trying the different wines with the food just amazing. My sister who I usually go with doesn't like red wine and they always replace it with either white, rose or fizz. Nothing is too much effort. Can't wait for the Sunday Roast!

Food was amazing as per usual. Service was speedy however waitress kept calling us love. It was far too much

A good introduction to tasting menus at a lower price than found in the more high end offerings. Interesting combinations and friendly staff make it a great experience. We went for my birthday - was a nice touch to have a card on the table saying happy birthday! - And something that almost got forgotten... the Turkish Delight spritz was fantastic! Would love to have the recipe for that one!

What a disappointment. Below average lukewarm food, uninterested wait staff and just overall not a pleasant place to sit for a (very overpriced) meal. Not worth the hype and seems other people agree on recent visits.

I'd wanted to try this place since it opened, but now having finally been I will not be going back. Staff were friendly enough, but everything had the look and taste of being bought in and reheated.

Tonight was a bit of a mixed bag for us. Whilst the majority is positive, there were some factors that left us underwhelmed. We came for the 'Sunday Lunch '. The servers were mostly incredible! Very nice, welcoming, and enthusiastic. There was just one that let them down as he seemed to be uninterested in providing an experience. 4 out of six dishes were enjoyed by the both of us with mixed feelings on one and a but of a let down for one too.The cauliflower cheese dish was on of the favourites. Really flavoursome and just a bowl of beautiful beautiful food. My partner found the sauce for the yorkshire pudding a bit too rich for her liking, but I thought it was a thing of beauty. Personal preference! I felt a bit underwhelmed by the chicken, I felt it was just a bit bland, however, the emulsion on the plate was incredible. (The chef was even happy for me to speak to him about what this was, which was nice) We were both very very let down by rhe roast potato course. It, like most of the menu, looked nothing like it has been advertised, and was miniscule. The taste was pleasant but we just felt a bit deflated by this course. THE ETON MESS ... that is something else! Absolutely incredible. Easily THE best dessert either of us have ever had. Simply incredible! All in all, we had a lovely evening. 95% was just perfect. Would recommend, we hope to be enticed by future menus.

What an experience! From the moment you walk through the door you feel so welcomed , the service was incredible very knowledgeable on the dishes /drinks served and attentive. The food was phenomenal , we experienced the guilty pleasures menu and every dish served was delicious , well executed and explained on what dish we were having. A true experience that we get excited when the new menus launch excited to go back and experience the Hollywood theme menu !

First time trying restaurant such as this. Myself and my partner booked on to the Tokyo experience. Atmosphere was nice and relaxed even though it was busy. The dishes were extremely hit and miss. The sea bass ramen, tonkotsu and dessert were definitely the best plates. Everything else was average but the okonomiyaki was unpleasant. A cheesecake consistency and missed out on the various textures that okonomiyaki usually has. Unfortunately I found a ginormous hair in my gyoza, which the staff were very apologetic for and served me a fresh plate within minutes, but it left a bit of an ick after that. The staff were friendly but weren't asked if we wanted any more drinks during our dining experience. All in all the experience felt a little flat and I felt the chefs had a limited experience of what Japanese food really encapsulates. A mediocre meal, hair(!) in one dish and a 12.5% service charge adding to a bill of £155 for two people means we're unlikely to visit again.

Gorgeous food,brilliant atmosphere 😍 We had the Tokyo menu,wow it was amazing 👏 We will be back next time for the Istanbul menu! Well done 👏

An amazing fine dining experience. We were sat by Patrick and served by James. The service was second to none. The food was amazing. Six by Nico has an Open Kitchen, and I have to say as I'm profoundly jealous of how spotless their kitchen is given the quality in both flavour and aesthetics of the food. At no point was was our meal in any way lacking. I highly recommend getting the wine pairing and, if you have the budget do not scimp on the optional extra as it is most likely to enhance the experience (it most definitely did with us). We had the Tokyo Experience and fully intend to fine again. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening.

Our first time at Six by Nico last night and have to say we where very impressed, we had the six course Tokyo menu and loved it. Every course was beautifully presented and well thought out, stand out courses for us would be the chicken and the fish but everything was well cooked and tasty. Staff where attentive and friendly and the wine list was well priced. Thanks for a wonderful night, we will definitely return.

Just drinks expensive 24 quid for two drinks one double one single

My boyfriend and I attended the Tokyo menu, which was tasty but wasn't as good as other established Japanese restaurants I've tried in Leeds. However, it was really tasty and there was lots of flavour. What let it down was our waiter, who walked away from our conversation twice, whilst we were mid conversation. When going to these budget fine dining meals, you go for the experience, which was lackluster. However, this wouldn't persuade me from going again, but I would slightly lower my expectations.

Tried this place after seeing the Tokyo menu advertised. The food was amazing but this is unfortunately let down by the tables being virtually ontop of eachother, the intention is clearly to squeeze as many people in on the chaotic conveyorbelt like service. A more relaxed environment/service would push this rating up.

My first time at Six by Nico for their Tokyo menu. We really enjoyed our meal! Tasty food and lovely service. Really enjoyed the inventive vegetarian options. We came on a deal with six courses and an aperitif for £35 which was excellent value. Will definitely be back!

The themed changing menu is creative and imaginative. As a result we've returned on different occasions. The set menu is affordable compared to similar quality dining expriences. We've always found the service and staff friendly and the atmosphere great.

I tried the six-course Tokyo tasting menu. Chicken Tangyang is very crispy and delicious. However, I would prefer to use chicken thighs that are not minced, as the taste will be better. The tempura is perfectly seasoned and crispy. Impeccable, this dish is good. Okonomiyaki is just average. Japanese people don’t add kimchi to Okonomiyaki, but they need to put bonito flakes on top. Apart from that, the overall texture and presentation are both good. There is something strange about this dish called "Ramen". The name "ramen" usually refers to a bowl of noodle soup, but this version has just soup, no noodles, and just the usual ingredients of ramen. The taste is so unique and creative, but the name doesn't quite match the actual dish. The fried pork chop tastes good, and all the sauces and purees go well together, bringing out the taste of the pork. The dessert is the best one in my opinion. The white chocolate has a smooth texture, not too sweet, and looks beautiful. Every material complements each other well. But my only dissatisfaction is that the matcha cake is a bit dry and the matcha flavor is not strong enough. The service is first-class, each dish is explained in detail, the staff is so attentive, and the 12.5% ​​service charge is completely worth it. I would consider coming back, but maybe try a more European menu next time.

As usual. Excellent food and service. 👍

Had the Tokyo menu today. Never have had a meal like that and I tell you what, it was worth it. Did just book the 4 course but ended up having the 6, no regrets. Highly recommend.

Love Six by Nico, but unfortunately, not up to their usual standard on this visit. Mid way through the evening, we were forgotten about and had to ask for service. The next course was delivered straight away, luke warm! We received a mild apology and no usual service charge on the bill. I'm afraid it spoilt what was otherwise a good night out and meal.

Lovely concept of the tasting plates, delicious food. Thought it wouldn't be filling enough but actually was about right. Good value for money, we didn't do wine pairing due to driving, but still enjoyed ourselves and looking forward to returning for a different menu!

Attention to detail is second to none. Food is delicious. Chefs are in open plan kitchen so their skills are on show for all to see. Not cheap but a fabulous experience, thank you 👍

Umar, Sylvia & Ollie served us at our first time at six by nico. We came on my Birthday, 30th August. Amazing experience, The food was much better than I expected and through every course we were given extensive detail on what was in our plates and glasses. Staff were friendly and professional and the main reason we will be back. Gaz & Sonia

Second visit to Six this month. Great food, great service. Fine dining at an accessible price and without a pretentious environment

Very nice food experience (amalfi course) with wine paring. Friendly staff
