We were given a voucher by our sons for Christmas to Nick's Seafood, Cockle Bay, Sydney. Finally got around to using it this last weekend and what a spectacular night it was. We were seated at the front of the restaurant, right on the promenade/waterfront. The service was very attentive, with the entrees coming within 10 minutes of being seated.... More

Just the best place for a weekday lunch, either for business or pleasure. The food is amazing, great service and the ambiance of darling harbour just so relaxing. More

We ate here on the 18th May for dinner and had Nick's Seafood Banquet for 2. It was amazing. Very fresh and delicious would highly recommend it to any seafood lover just make sure you don't eat to much before as it is large. We will definitely eat here again! More

My wife and I went to Nick's on a whim as we wanted some fresh seafood and a restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The restaurant is in a great location right on Darling Harbour. Service was efficient and the food came quickly. However, compared to comparable restaurants we ate at while in Sydney, you really are just paying for the... More

Fairly average meal, same quality as what you could get at most good pubs around sydney but with a hight inflated price - i understand you are paying for the location and the view, but that doesn't mean the food doesn't need to be of a good standard as well. Basically nothing special, not what Nick's was like when it... More

Food here is pricey but reliably good. The atmosphere is nice, if a bit busy on Friday and Saturday nights with so many people coming and going from all the nearby bars and restaurants. More

Warm welcome, great service, flexibility in offering alternatives to pre-paid fixed menu, superb location at Darling Harbour, reasonable prices for drinks, not too noisy unlike some neighbouring establishments. More

Used a Red Balloon voucher given to me for Xmas, the meal was 3 courses, had a mixture of all sorts of seafood and if you didn't like anything on the menu you could get it exchanged for something else. Everything was great except for the calamari I thought it was tough and rubbery, my girlfriend said it was fine. More
