While the ambience was pretty nice, the staff was just OK. All the food we received were cold, my fish and chips were soggy, and the fried Ono (wahoo) fish special lacked any flavor whatsoever. Only good dish that we received was the crabcakes salad.
Nico's Upstairs isn't quite ready for a total opening, but it promises to be a superb experience. The ambience is reminiscent of Nick's Fishmarket and the long ago Canlis, but contemporary. Upscale, but laid back. Lounge area is going to be popular, and the BAR!!! Copper all around.Our service was excellent. Unobtrusive and anticipatory. Our party of 4 tried four different entrees, two starters, a salad, soup, and every dessert. We tried two signature cocktails and a whiskey sour. Everything was delicious and distinctive. So much so that each of us tried a dish that we normally wouldn't ever order. And we were so impressed. We spent three times as much at a long time Waikiki establishment and were so disappointed. We have a new go-to.We would like to keep it our secret, but we want them to succeed. We could've lied.
I had the crab cake spinach salad…if you like spinach A LOT you will like it. Crab cake was acceptable…bready .. good seasoning. My friends said the chicken was good. The pizza ? not really & salmon was marginal. Nico’s came highly recommended but I’m sorry that I cannot agree.
Wonderful food!! Great atmosphere.
Delicious food! Served in a timely manner and the portion was generous. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was crispy on the outside, and moist on the inside. The fish flaked perfectly under the fork. I loved the chips too!! They were perfectly salted and coated with garlic making for a truly decadent experience. The live entertainment was excellent. My only regret was we couldn’t stay the whole evening to listen.
Casual, dining with great views of the boats docked at the Pier. Off the main drag of Waikiki, the fish is fresh, filling and so yummy. Try the seafood stew or clam chowder in a bread bowl, was so rich and creamy!! Definitely a must stop if you are visiting Honolulu!
After seeing reviews about this place on a few "must eat here lists" we decided that we must eat here and see if it lives up to the hype. Upon entering the restaurant, which is easily accessible and located along the pier, which makes for a great views if you snag a seat along the edge of the restaurant, which we did. We enjoyed live music during the lunch hour with our lunch of the fish burger and cheeseburger. Both were very delicious with high quality ingredients. The vibe of the restaurant of mellow and relaxing with an upbeat feel
Very nice attentive customer service staff and the food did not disappoint!
Great place in having good food and friendly talks with family and friends
Everyone bragged about Nico's on pier 38, was ok, not great. Wouldn't brag about it, there are better places out there in my opinion.
