I have just left Nick's at cockle bay after a "discussion" with the manager over their policy if a $5 pp surcharge on a Sunday. This restaurant has meals that average $45 and feels justified and warranted in adding this surcharge on a Sunday. The manager came nowhere near being consilatory about the surcharge and in fact insisted in a... More

I have eaten here several times for lunch and dinner and it is always great. I have not had a bad meal. In particular the prawns are great. The location is fantastic looking over the harbour. The restaurant is always busy and the last time was on a Friday night. There were waiters running every where and we were waiting... More

Pricey, but soooo worth it!! This place is super busy, so don't expect great service. We never figured out who our waiter was. This did not dampen my happiness about the bugs!!

The food platter was amazing , great value for money. Leonie the matridee however needs to lift the game. As the floor manager, the customer service was as appalling, an important rule in hospitality, the customer comes first. Manuel the waiter- what training has been completed as we felt as though we were the dummy run. When asking the blunt... More

To celebrate our wedding anniversary, my husband to me to Nick's to enjoy some beautiful seafood, which is a treat for us as our son has anaphylaxis to shellfish. We booked a night away and planned all around eating at Nick's and boy were we disappointed. The oysters did not taste fresh, and the rest of the $160 seafood platter... More

While visiting friends in Sydney I mentioned that I wanted some whiting as it is one of my favourites and we do not have it in NZ. So pleased that we went to Nick's for lunch. The setting is just perfect and it was one of Sydney's beautiful autumn days. When the plate arrived I was taken aback by the... More

I ordered the prosciutto fig and goats cheese salad minus the dressing...thank heavens, as the ingredients were so fresh they didn't need the dressing. Then scallops from the specials board and fries..scallops delicious but the fries tasted fishy...like they had been cooked in the same oil as fish. Service was ok but the packing up of empty seats around me... More

Your service, staff and menu was IMPECCABLE!!! We have dined at many restaurants and yours is by far the best in every area! We were sad to leave any of our meal behind as it was INCREDIBLE, very satisfying and servings were GENEROUS! My partner has non stop raved on about your tomato chilli mussels to the point they were... More

Food was great, all five meals where good, the whiting, flathead, salmon where all perfectly cooked and presented. Dessert is a must. The view is great looking over the marina at Darling Harbour, always something going on with waiters taking takeaway food to those sitting on there cruises.

By far Nick's Seafood on Cockle Bay Wharf Darling Harbour Sydney cannot be resisted for such tempting seafood - be it simply fish n chips, their baby Barra, their platters or their service - everything about the establishment is a "must come back for more" experience.
