Six By Nico Aberdeen in Aberdeen City

It is not the first time we 've been there but it was the most disappointing one. 4 if the 6 courses were not up to the standards we were used. The complimentary small dish was delicious so was the first course. The desert was extremely tasty but it didn't even remotely resembled an apple pie. One of the courses was salty and one of them, the one with the chicken didn't make any sense. We will of course visit again. But we didn't really enjoy it this time. The service was lovely as usual.

EDIT for reply to owners: Not the best request when failing to advise email address. Again, very frustrating. Our experience was let down badly as we tried to contact the restaurant 4 times previous to our booking. We left our name and phone number as requested but regardless no phone call was returned. Communication is key running any business but Six by Nico don’t see this as important. Very very frustrating.

The place and experience is great. The food is salty. Very salty. The concept is good (large scale food production for fine dining at a reasonable cost) but the flavours need to be more delicate and less seasoned. Every dish all the components were competing, strong flavour (strengthen with too much salt and butter). It’s a meal that you’ll end up waking up at 3am with your mouth feeling like a desert and need a pint of water. I likely won’t go again, as food flavours were so strong and salty. Cost was £130 for 2, 2 set meals, 2 beers, 2 cocktails, service fee was £15 (a tad cheeky to automatically lump that in).

Excellent all round food and service.I recently visited a Michelin star restuarant in Edinburgh which was excellent as expected,however Six by Nico was just as good if slightly better food.

That is twice i have been in the last 4 weeks food is amazing, staff are amazing atmosphere great. Only thing is on the bill £1 donation pp. i don’t mind giving to charity at all i support multiple charties. What i think would be better is the £1 donation is paid by six by nico per visitor which would save the embarassment of people rejecting the £1 pp charitable donation. This is the first time i have saw such a request on a bill. I think the owner paying this per customer would be the better option.

Noisy, crowded, mediocre food and the lighting was really bright. Felt like a fast food service rather than fine dining. Its a shame as we went to the Edinburgh one a few years ago and was a lovely experience. Aberdeen though was dire.

Food was excellent as always, however the music was far too loud which had an effect on the atmosphere. No offer to take our jackets which ended up being dumped beside me on the bench seat. The most disappointing aspect was that we used a voucher and at the end of our meal the server told us "your voucher covered the bill". No bill or explanation of costs was provided. Asked for the bill and discovered we had a residual amount left on our voucher which we can use next time. Poor show.

The 4th time I have been there. Never disappoints. Excellent flavours in the dishes. Accompanied the meal with matching wines this time and would recommend that. Prompt and polite service. Congenial atmosphere. Menus change every 5 or 6 weeks.

Fantastic atmosphere, the table sever (Ola) was fantastic. Sandy and team are definitely an asset to the business.

Terrific atmosphere. Taken care of by attentive and lovely staff. They took great pains to ensure we were told about each dish and afterwards moved through to have some drinks etc. Never rushed. Delicious food, lovely drinks. Highly recommend

This is the third time my partner and me have visited the Aberdeen restaurant although it will be our last as each visit has been more and more disappointing. We went last night for the Hanoi menu (we have previously visited for the chipper and the Barcelona menu and other menus in different 6BNs). While the food was more enjoyable this time around and we genuinely enjoyed almost everything, there were still dishes which we received that were cold and one in particular which was not for me at all although this is down to personal taste. The service wasn't great this time whereas it is usually one of the restaurants biggest strengths. Perhaps it was a lack of staff and the unfamiliarity of a new menu but we felt a bit forgotten about. The whole 7 courses (Inc an additional appetiser each) took almost 3.5 hours and tables sitted after us were leaving before us. There was actually a table just next to us who had given up and asked for their bill as their dishes were taking so long to arrive. The chefs were barking order up multiple times and there were no servers to take the plates out so dishes piled up, maybe explaining some of the lukewarm dishes we got. This was particularly noticable towards the end of the night when we were one of half a dozen tables but all of the servers seemed to have disappeared (although as someone who has previously worked in the industry, I understand wanting to disappear at the end of a busy shift). The servers also didn't appear to know the descriptions of dishes but this is really nitpicking and didn't bother us but still does take away from the experience, especially when you're paying £90 per person and a non negotiable tip. After previous issues such as not receiving some of our paired wines and dishes in the past, we really hoped this time would be different, but no. I was asked to contact someone in the customer relations team who said they would oversee our booking this time and offer us complementary drinks or snacks after past visits however I never did hear back from them. It's a great shame as my partner and me really want to like 6BN here in Aberdeen but we just can't.

After a very disappointing first experience with the vegan Street Food menu, I recently went to Six by Nico again to try the vegan Fun Fair menu. In summary, I had an even worse experience. Starting with the venue itself, it is always very loud and uncomfortably busy. The music and general noise is so high that we can't hear the waiter's explanation nor they can properly hear our requests. There were delays and mistakes with our orders (meat coming in place of the veggie option more than once) which caused considerable delays, and we were still shoved out of there to give the table to someone else. The menu can look very interesting in paper, but what you get feels like a cheap and ill-thought-out version of what is written, *particularly* for the veggie and vegan menus. I ate vegan, a friend ate veggie and a third one got the regular menu, for context. The veggie and vegan menus are even cheaper and worse versions of the regular menu, as they would usually substitute the meat of diary products for what looked like a random vegetable choice, that is, when it was even replaced! In the Fun Fair menu, a beef burger was substituted by a pickle (a pickle! with so many amazing meat alternatives in the market), fish by a whole baked carrot and pork and other meats in the last course *weren't even replaced*, they just took the meat out and served the remaining sauces and pieces of vegetables. So the veggie and vegan option literally came with less food! I have similar complains for the previous menu (Street Food), were the meat that was central for the dishes was substitute by tofu and jackfruit. Usually, I love creative ways to substitute meat with these two, but both were made very plain. No marinate or appropriate seasoning seemed to have been used, so they didn't taste like much. Now, on top of the underwhelming menu, you pay almost double to get "paired wines". First, the glasses are always quite full, so it is way too much to have 5 glasses with these small courses. This option could be cheaper and come with half the wine. Secondly, the pairing is not generally great but, again, it is even worse for veggies and vegans. Everyone gets the same wine selection but if the main ingredients for each course have completely different tastes, they obviously won't pair as well. It is easy to imagine that pairing a Merlot with a beef burger might go very differently compared to pairing it with a fried pickle. Dessert wines also felt usually too dry for the very sweet desserts being served (for all menus). In conclusion, Six by Nico might be interesting if your priority is taking nice pictures of the courses, as the presentation is indeed nice. But the experience itself is quite underwhelming in terms of taste and ambience. Of course it might be less costly than other tasting menus, but there are ways to use inexpensive ingredients in a smarter and more delicious way. I find it completely unreasonable to charge the same amount for the veggie and vegan manus. If you are not going to be able to deliver a decent quality menu, make the veggie option less expensive, or admit you cannot provite a menu of comparable quality and simply do not offer it. (I did got a discount on the day after complaining, but it would be ideal if in the future it didn't come to that!)

Disappointing vegetarian experience. Seems like the vegetarian menu is a second thought with poor substitutions that do not match the wine pairing, even though you pay the same as the regular menu. We went for the Funfair tasting menu with matching wine. Hook a duck - Goat's cheese was too mild, pickled walnut sauce overpowered the dish. The regular menu did not have the same problem. Spinning teacup - Very tasty, loved the teacup. The best dish of the night, probably because it wasn't an adaptation but was part of the regular menu. Battered pickles - Did not pairwith the Bordeaux at all, could only taste the pickle. Not sure if the chef even tried to taste the vegetarian dish with the wine pairing because it was so bad. Half a pickle to substitute the beef burger in the regular menu. Gherkin ketchup was good. Win a goldfish - Got a carrot instead of a proper meat substitute. Carrot did not pair well with the rest of the food, but the rest of the dish was tasty by itself. Corn Dog - Missing a full part of the meal when compared with the regular meal. Jackfruit was tasteless, not prepared well. Toffee apple - Good, but wine did not taste like anything after the dessert. When I asked the waitress if I should drink the dessert wine before, during, or after having the dessert she said I could do however I wish. Servers were nice but not very informative. Place is loud but the music volume was good (not too loud).

Six by Nico has become an institution. The constantly evolving food and wine menu, impeccable service and great atmosphere make this an unparalleled experience every six weeks!

Went here between Christmas and New year. Best of 2023 menu, every course was a winner 🏆 5 stars

Excellent restaurant for a special occasion, best of 2023 menu was superb and the atmosphere is great. Thanks!

I went for a 10 course taste experience and it certainly was an experience.... Each course was as if we were shopping in Costco and were being offered very small free samples. £155 for two people wine and a small bottle of cider feels like a poor choice on our part. When we were done we went to the fish and chip shop. That says something.

Very enjoyable experience all round. Amazing flavours and love the wines too. Wonderful staff and service.

This was our first time at Six by Nico. Had high expectations. I had the regular 6 dish tasting menu. My partner had the vegan 6 dish tasting menu. Our friends had one regular and one vegetarian. The restaurant was very loud and we had a hard time hearing the servers when they described the food. We were having to shout almost during conversation The wine pairings didn't go very well with the food. The prosecco with the pork steamed bun for example. And the red wine with the lamb kebab. The wine with the desserts. The vegan menu was not very well thought out. The 1st dish (steamed bun) had a tiny bit of mushroom on the outside. The bun itself was just chewy dough. The 3rd dish (vegan taco) was not well made. The 4th dish (tofu skewers) wasn't well prepared and it didn't taste of much. The regular menu had similar issues. The taco seemed to be just fried fish. The satay arrived and the chicken was dry. The red wine didn't go with it at all. During the meal, we were given the wrong food twice causing delays and the service felt very rushed. At the end of the meal we were rushed from our table onto the bar. Even though we suffered delays during the meal. For a highly recommended restaurant, six by Nico left a lot to be desired.

My first time at six by Nico, I was honestly completely blown away, the service was really good, the place had really lovely decor and was very clean. Everyone who engaged with me was really above board and very informative and kind. The dishes were all beautiful, I came for the vegetarian street food menu, and it's exciting that there was a vegetarian menu with the food they do here. It felt very inclusive, sometimes restaurants vegetarian menus feel like an after thought, very much not the case here. The wine pairings were outstanding too, I don't drink much so I only had the dessert wine but it was perfect. I can't wait to go again with my partner, I went solo this time and honestly felt so comfortable, it was a top class dining experience and I felt so at ease and comfortable in the space. I've recommended it to co workers and friends

Ok for commercialised fine dining. The 6 course street food menu with 2 additional courses was good but room for improvement. Matching wine flight was on the cheap side and added imbalance to the food 1st course steam buns were delicious best course by some way, the following courses had good and bad points but I felt the miss match of wines and flavours had much to be desired and needed improvement. The service was rushed but communication description of food was good.

Myself and my partner attended for the 10 course trust menu, where you have no idea what the dishes will be and you have to guess what's in each one. A bit of fun whilst being exposed to delicious and exciting dishes. Highly recommend. The wine pairing was excellent too. Only small negative was that the restaurant temperature was on the cold side, but with the weather we're having just now and the size of the place, I can understand it being difficult to heat.

Visited Six by Nico for a 5 course Trust Menu. You are given your food but not told what it is. You have to work out what you think it is. Made you take your time and really taste the food. Food amazing, experience great fun and good talking point with others.

Son bought several Six by Nico vouchers as Christmas Gifts last year. Turns out some have 12 month validity and some have 6 month validity (which we didn't spot) Unable to use the vouchers in their restaurant and head office unwilling to reinstate the vouchers - so we have lost £80 because of some pretty brutal use of terms and conditions Wouldn't mind but I ended up having to pay for the meal - which as others have said is rather "ready meal meets TV chef" in style You wont be surprised to find that I wont be back

Food is amazingly tasty, every mouthful. My only gripe is, you don't get many mouthfuls haha, not with 5 or 6 course meal. You'll want to have your parters portion too. Have a sandwich before you go, and you might leave your parters food alone and might feel full with your meal at Six by Nico. As a culinary experience, it's wonderful. Bigger portions please and I'll be 100 percent happy

Brilliant food and staff was great but our server wasn't very keen to amend the "optional" service charge. We would prefer to tip our own amount.

Had a wonderful experience with the meal. Every course was unique and creative. Service was great, polite, informative and friendly. Atmosphere was lively, beautiful, and clean. Highly recommended for a special meal.

Visited last night for the first time, for the street food menu. Greated warmly by Amber at the door and shown to my table, she sorted out drinks and let me look over the menu and gave me a brief on what to expect as it was my first visit. Very friendly and helped out me at ease as I was on my own after my friend fell ill and couldn't attend with me. Great care was taken to explain each dish as it was served and every dish was beautifully presented. I was very early, after travelling through from Fraserburgh and having to travel home so I arrived to an empty restaurant, but by the time I left at about 18:30 the place was packed and had an electric atmosphere. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated and welcoming. The street food menu was wonderful and the first dish, gochujang pork steamed bun was an absolute knocked out. I'd happily have eaten 6 dishes of just that. I also opted for both snacks, a mac and cheese croquette and fresh bread with a wonderfully light, whipped smoked butter. Definitely recommended and I hope to come back to try another menu soon.

Excellent experience, not keen on eating blindly but all couses were brilliant!

Travelled through from Inverness, just for this. Was not disappointed. Food absolutely delicious, cocktails amazing . The 80's sound track just the icing on the cake. Our fellow diners were a really friendly, chatty bunch. We were all looked after by the amazing Amber who was friendly, efficient and made us all feel well catered for and looked after. She must be such an asset to the company. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you for a great culinary experience. Special thanks to Amber. You are a star.

Been here a good few times and the food is always amazing. They make you try things you never would and it's amazing service. The wait staff we had last time were amazing. The atmosphere hets 3/5 stars because as much as I love this place I just wish they got rid of 2 or 3 tables. It's so so packed.

Lovely meal this evening , once upon a time. Our first time at Six By Nico food was lovely especially the pudding. Unfortunately we were on the third course when I had to ask about the wine taster. The waiter apologised and said he could bring it then . Unfortunately he had went on his break and the other waiter didn’t know we hadn’t been asked. Will definitely be back and remember to ask for the wine which I think would have made our experience even better.

Amazing food, we had a lovely family night out, staff very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous went for my hubbys birthday

Really tasty food Friendly staff

We had the Once Upon a Time menu. Nice place, and the food and service were excellent. We found it very noisy, maybe that was because it was a Saturday afternoon?

Perfect restaurant experience in town. As well as proper waiters.. and food... amaizing

Amazing experience of flavours. Remember you're not going there to be fed but experience tastes and flavours. A little chaotic occasionally like waiting for cutlery or drinks. Or a bin being carried through

Great food, very reasonably priced for the experience. Service was at a good pace, they seem to have slowed down a little, which is necessary for wine pairings. Food was all delicious and not pretentious at all

Exceder any expectations. Fantastic in all aspects.

Great and unique experience. Every dish was better than the previous one, and the overall staff is amazing, from the service, explaining the dish preparation and what to expect.

Fantastic experience! First time we have been to a set tasting menu and we would highly recommend it. We had 'the chippe' menu and every course was full of flavour. Very nice stylish interior and staff were polite and knowledgeable telling us exactly what was on the plate for every course. Will be back next month. One thing I have to comment on is the service charge, I don't believe in it myself so asked for it to be removed.

Went and had The Chippie, 6 course tasting menu with wine that compliments the dish that goes along with it . highly recommend the experience and the food tastes delicious. Very nice whatever the occasion

Assolutamente delizioso. Forse il mio ristorante preferito ad Aberdeen. Tasting menù che cambia ogni mese con 6 piattini presentati splendidamente e ottimi. Prezzo ragionevole quando fanno delle offerte.

Just amazing. Many small courses with loads of flavour. Vegetarian menu alongside the meaty one. Both with punchy, lovely flavours. Would definitely go again. Staff, atmosphere, food, all perfect.

Shocking service waited an hour for the last two courses and when they came with the 5th it was one we already had need to designate waiting staff to certain areas as no one noticed anything was wrong

The concept of affordable luxury in food seems to work. Some of the baroque creations mobilise more than two senses. The service is attentive and friendly.

Beyond our expectations! We came here to celebrate our friends birthday and it was all our first experience at Six. From the atmosphere, to the enthusiastic and bubbly waiters & waitresses, and the unique food/tasting menu experience - it was all wonderful. Highly recommended for any special occasion or a treat!

Great atmosphere and food. Live DJ also. Worth a visit

Was a really quirky and great experience will be visiting again

This is the second time I come here. I am not gonna lie I preferred the Greek menu over the Lisbon one but that is just my preference. I still love the restaurant, the waiter super chatty and lovely and the desserts are always amazing.

I have been a few times. The experience itself is worth the money, personally I am surprised they don't charge more! The way they make food tasting a full on experience to evoke all your senses is inspiring. I will continue to visit, depending on the theme though.

Second time I've been. Just amazing.

Lovely food. We were just about to visit Lisbon and Lisbon menu was on, so perfect timing 😊

Utterly fabulous! The decor is beautiful, the atmosphere is lovely, the service is excellent, the menu is eclectic and the food is outstanding. Even the loos are pleasant. Thoroughly enjoyed our six course, Lisbon inspired, tasting menu. Will definitely be returning to sample future menus.

Very excited to come here given all the hype from people who had visited their other chains around the UK or had tried the home by Nico. As expected on opening weekend the restaurant was completely packed including the bar area which was nice to see in Aberdeen! The idea is you have 6 courses as a tasting menu which follows a set theme. This theme changes every 6 weeks from what I understand. There is a regular menu and a vegetarian menu - the good thing is you can pick and choose between the menus so if you don't like one of the courses you can switch it with the vegetarian menu and vice versa. You have the option of going with a wine pairing with the courses of food. Service staff were very friendly and had lots of work to do as there were many courses to deliver. The theme we had was 'the chipper' a brilliant take on fish and chips but much more refined. You had the option For our meal we went with the 'snack' which was an appetiser of sourdough bread and oyster butter along with smoked cod croquettes. I'd say the croquettes were one of the best things we ate so would recommend this. Overall the food was beautifully presented and a lot of effort went into the menu as well as creation of sauces and emulsions on the plate. My favourite course was probably the fish supper as this was the kind of thing you'd get from a very good seafood restaurant. There were smoke effects in the fifth dish which added to the aura of the restaurant. The final course was a dessert which was famously created in Aberdeen, the deep fried Mars bar (I believe the Carron in Stonehaven but don't quote me on that) - this was an excellent take with chocolate pave, and a first for me which was an irn bru sorbet. I tip my hat to you six by Nico as this was a very well thought out dessert. As this was quite an expensive restaurant in comparison to others in Aberdeen I'll be a little more critical. Improvements can be made in cohesion between the courses, there were times you were waiting two to three times longer between certain courses. At a point we thought we had been forgotten about and got our courses in the wrong order. This is however a brand new restaurant with new staff and you expect an adjustment period. I would say the manager on the floor was excellent and seemed to be aware of all the customers and was directing the team effectively considering how busy it was. The other room for improvement would be better ventilation. As nice a touch it was having the smoky effects with the food we felt the smoke lingered and left you with an unsettled feeling in the stomach. Overall I'm very glad we went, would recommend to others and I'm looking forward to finding out what the next theme will be.

Expensive, but you get what you pay for. 6 tasting courses are obviously not massive platefuls, but they're all real tasty and I walked out feeling fairly full, which did surprise me a little, I'll be honest.

Great way to dine out - love the sampler type menu which can take you outside your comfort zone to a place you never knew you would love😉

Was so excited to try this restaurant and given the hype and good reviews, expected so much more. On arrival the bar played loud music with a DJ which made me question the sophistication of this place. Perhaps I'm wrong, from experiences with other tasting menu locations, that fine dining is a bit classier than that. Restaurant at the back was even noisier. I was on a date night and had to shout to be heard for the 2 hours we were there. Could hardly hear the waiting staff but didn't matter as they had zero enthusiasm for the 'speil' they say when presenting food and wine. All very robotic and hurried. The size of each wine serving was too much for the small portion size of each plate. If I'd actually drank all 5 glasses of wine, I'm sure I'd have been carried home. Food itself was nice although too many sauces and the dessert was frozen in the middle. Apparently it was supposed to be like that (?!). Timing wasn't great. 2 courses in and we'd been there 1 hour, and the final hour the 4 remaining courses were rushed. Toilets had no hand-wash or toilet roll in my cubicle. It has a conveyor belt feel about it, rushed and unsophisticated, despite the very tasteful decor. I get the feeling they don't have to try too hard as they clearly get a lot of repeat business. I don't get the hype at all.

Absolutely delicious. Fantastic experience. Had the Tokyo menu and paired wines. Food was amazing! Our server was very attentive without being intrusive. Lovely ambience.

Amazing food, great staff, it is such a good experience, well worth the money. Just wish I could afford to go more often!

Food was good. Wine a bit overpriced. Service was first class HOWEVER! A tip SHOULD NOT be mandatory. Wages should be better. Making prices appear low to blackmail customers to pay more through tips is wrong. Pay your staff what they're worth. I will still gladly tip good service.

Dinner for 4, with the Japanese tasting menu and matched wines. The food was really good, more influenced by Japan than truly authentic. Portions were just right, not too big and not too small. The drinks were well matched. Service was friendly, knowledgable and relaxed. All in it was a little over £100 per person which is the only draw back.

Friendly knowledgeable staff, good food & a nice atmosphere

It was wonderful. Food is fabulous. Our waiter Jacob was very attentive and interested in us. My only complaint would be that it was very busy and noisy. Tables are very close together.

First time , absolutely loved the food was still hungry a bit later though lol . I would have gave it a 5 but it was a bit cold in the place,will definitely be back.

Superb night out. We did the tasting and wine menu which is really nice. Made even better when there are those at the table that don't like certain wines to which I volunteered to assist in the drinking of those wines. Food was excellent, and courses were a decent size compared to some other tasting menus I have had. Cocktails were different to the standard cocktails you get in most bars which went down a treat. Will definitely be back.

All 6 portions are small (desert is probably largest) but we were full by the end. The cost was far less than anywhere else with such high standards. Will definitely go back.

Visited here on busy night, so were seated for good 30min before getting served but once it started then it was like clockwork. Food was okay, ambiance is good, staff was pleasent.

Was in for meal Friday night. Restaurant was very nice and spotlessly clean. Waiting staff very good . Food ,well not what we expected .Fish dish overcooked pollock cheapest fish you can buy . The Restaurant is trying to be trendy ,posh but not quite getting there . Most food was cold .Definitely overpriced .First snd last visit .

Just had our first experience at 6 by Nicco wow food and service was amazing this was the Neverland theme could not fault anything. May this restaurant continue to keep thriving. Thankyou to all the staff for making it a very enjoyable experience. Will definitely be back.

Recommended. A great food experience

Went for my 34th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious, the waiting staff were fantastic and knowledgeable about the wine pairings that went with each course. They also handled my spouse's dietary requirements superbly. Will definitely go again.

Nouvelle cuisine for the nouveau riche: Noisy, crowded, mediocre food

Honestly couldn't wait try here to see what all the hype was about . We were booked in for 12.30, as it was the only time we could manage to book in for . The restaurant was empty and had roughly around 4 other tables already eating. We were sat right in the middle of all the people already dining in which made the experience feel very cramped and made it difficult to talk because everyone could hear others conversation clearly . The theme was Neverland and it was just a tad disappointing, every course was cold bar the first one and everything was overly salty. Disappointing considering all the hype the restraunt generates. I wouldn't be in a rush to go back anytime soon.

1st Visit. Totally amazing, will go again on the next menu change for sure.

Pretty average… not sure why everybody is getting so excited about this place. The food is quite average, but in fairness it is very cheap vs most other tasting menus I’ve seen. Two courses in particular were very off-putting, as well as the aperitif which tasted like cheap Limeade. The menu when I went was ‘Neverland’, but I think ‘Prison Slop’ would have been a better theme to go for. The ‘Pepperoni Pizza’ was a bowl of liquid cheese more or less and the cod dish was also just a sloppy mess. The wines were also not being served in time with the meals and we didn’t receive our final one at all. Service was poor considering it was a Monday night.

Great place to spend quality time with friends! We've been as party of four. One of us has shellfish allergy and the restaurant accommodated our needs no problem. Wine was excellent. Happy to see Aberdeen getting such a lovely place to dine. Cannot wait what's next! Bogdan took care of us very well! Thank you!

Looses a star for Atmosphere because its too loud, all hard edges and the noise! Lovely waiting staff especially the young lass who brought our paired wines, she was great. I love the concept, and always enjoy the food. New York menu was excellent.

would of given 5 stars but there was a mix up with one of the offers

Excellent afternoon of good food, cocktails and company. Service was delightful 😁

Second time at 6 by Nico, enjoyed it both times, lovely, creative and tasty food and a great unique concept for the price. Only thing I would say is that the second time (New York menu) felt a bit rushed. There was no break in between courses, as soon as a course was removed the next one arrived within 2 minutes. I appreciate there can’t be a long wait given the number of courses, but a few more minutes would make it feel a bit more laid back and special.

Had a lovely evening with great food and wonderful staff. Special thanks to Hannah who was so friendly. So appreciate being made to feel more than a number.

I was very excited to visit Six by Nico after all the hype around it. It falls far short of the hype - The service for the first half of our meal was a total shambles, drinks coming at separate times. The wrong courses repeatedly, then questioned on our choice of menu multiple times. We were about to ask to speak to the manager and just leave after the 3rd course but they then must have noticed the poor service as our waiter disappeared and Hannah began looking after us, at which point the service was greatly improved. She quickly got our drink order after our glasses were empty for 30 mins. The food was 4/5, drinks were great and creative cocktails. The tables are VERY cramped, as if you’re having dinner with the next table. To wrap up, it is fine dining on a budget, but it very much feels like that - I’d be very unlikely to come back again.

So first off the waitress was very rude, made comments that we wanted to have 2 of the snacks between two of us and quote said “ aright calm down” to me asking for two. Then not a single course came out at the right time and the wine pairing didn’t arrive with the meals either our aperitif came out with our 2nd course. Waitress then commented on the fact I didn’t like an ingredient over and over and kept making remarks and making me feel very uncomfortable for the fact I don’t like cinnamon because I didn’t want the the aperitif (ordered another drink instead). Top it off was my birthday meal and tried to blame it in “there is a lot of people here” Just awful, awful service. Ate 2 out of the 6 courses and left because I felt so uncomfortable from the waitress and just the whole thing was such a disaster, and nothing was done either. Only 2 course were served in over an hour as well….and then when we said we didn’t want to proceed looks and attitude and then made to pay for everything. I have been there before and had a really good night. Obviously, now because it’s popular they don’t care about serving you or even feeding you what you are paying for.

Amazing New York menu, staff where attentive at explaining every dish. Very fun and friendly environment and would definitely go again!

Menu rotates every 6 weeks but I am yet to have a bad experience in any that I have tried some truly tasty dishes

Previously rated 2 stars Aug 22-good food but poor service (rushed through meal in 80 mins then asked to move before our coffee arrived). Manager emailed a couple of times to assure us training had been given to staff. Returned last night: Food again was fantastic. Meal was paced perfectly to appreciate the food. Staff really polite and helpful. Well done.

I recently had the New York menu. Food was very good and well presented. Staff were very knowledgeable about the dish being served which was nice. Seating was not great as we were placed on the end next to a walkway and underneath a AC unit which was blowing cool air onto myself and partner. I sat with my coat on and eventually we asked to be moved as it was just too cold. We normally leave a tip however hidden service charge was a surprise and more than the usual tip therefore didn’t bother. I would like to go back again however will ensure I am specific on above details at the time of booking.

Having done quite a few tasting menus with accompanying wines this unfortunately wasn't what I had anticipated. The tables were that close together we had to raise our voiced to speak to each other. The food was OK but the first course of beefburger donuts was under cooked and raw in places. Clam chowder was brilliant tho...shame it was served with the wrong matching wine...yes a reasonable night out but nothing to write home about. Went to toilet twice and there was toilet paper on the floor plus one toilet seat was lying on the ground

The courses were nice although I have to say we were a little disappointed. I felt like I was very crammed in at the table, we were seated very close to other customers, I felt like it was difficult to have a conversation with my partner. The staff were nice however it felt a bit disorganised. It was not bad but at over £100 for a lunch for 2 people without drinks I would expect more.

Great idea, staff incredible, friendly and knowledgeable, bottom shelf drinks options that let it down

Will definitely be back for the new menu

some of the most amazing food I’ve ever tasted in my life and the service was absolutely unbeatable from everyone, Joe served us and he was literally an angel. While it’s an expensive meal out when you’re on a budget it is an absolute bargain for the quality and the amount of food you’re paying for, and it felt much more like an experience than a meal. 10/10 cannot wait for the next menu!!

Fantastic! It was my first trip to the aberdeen 6 by niko, it was amazing, superb food and very well drilled staff who knew every dish inside out

Amazing food. Lovely setting. Great service.

First time at Six by Nico Aberdeen, really great unique experience, friendly service and no rush. Gave us plenty of time to enjoy the good food, wines and atmosphere. Will return.

Wonderful food, very innovative

Great service, great food and excellent value for money.

Had a late lunch here. The staff were polite, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. The cheese and bacon scones were absolutely amazing. The rest of the meal was ok but the fish was overly salty and the majority of the plates were cold. The cold plates unfortunately meant that the hot courses were lukewarm by the time they arrived at the table. A tasting menu is obviously small courses but to be lukewarm before finishing a small serving is a little disappointing.
