Nick's Restaurant

BEST RESTAURANT AROUND in my view particularly for fish specials and Oysters. Went to Nicks many years ago when it was at Chequerbent and it was excellent then, first time I tried Oysters. A memorable dining experience obviously as recently visited again for my son's birthday at their place in Horwich. We went specifically for Oysters and fish. The experience was fabulous and it lived up to my previous expectations. I can honestly say I cannot fault this place. It was better than James Martin's in Manchester and similarly priced. Now I feel I'm betraying my favourite chef James Martin, but I have to be honest. That said, the bread served at JM was the best I've ever tasted. Nicks was busy, even for a Wednesday evening. Tables full. Atmosphere was almost wedding reception-like, intimate and friendly. Staff were attentive and welcoming. Decor was relaxing and zen - think Kelly Hoppen neutral ambience. Cannot wait to go back. Very affordable 2/3 course menu priced at 25/30 respectively with no concessions on taste, quality or service. Even the house white wine was fantastic. The only question I ask myself is "why I've not been back sooner?!" There's magic sprinkled all over that place! Ps: I am absolutely not benefitting from this review...it's completely bona fide. Parking: On street but not too difficult to get a spot.

Im not one for reviews but i was completely mind blown. Wonderful meal. Excellent and friendly staff. The Chef was kind enough to come out and speak with us. The best meal I've had since at the Waterside in Venice. Culinary orgasm. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Food very good, chips tasted strange, maybe reheated or oil needs changing? Desserts a let down though, would be nice to see sorbets or gateau of some sort. Service excellent.
