Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The new Nick’s in the Merch Mart is really two restaurants in one: A formal “dining room” is sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant (“the grill”) with blue glass panels. Read more
Demetra CastonApril 1, 2013Ambiance is wonderful. Service was fast. Love the drink special-buy a drink and get an appetizer for $2 bucks. The fresh fish is fabulous.
Crain's Chicago BusinessJanuary 12, 2011Start with the luxurious sherry-spiked lobster bisque, one of Nick's greatest hits. Tiny shrimp and bits of crab are swirled into richly concentrated broth, thick with cream and nutty flavor. Read more
David EldridgeAugust 26, 2014The M/W/F deal for free appetizer with an adult beverage is a great way to save a few bucks for a seafood place.
@nicoleyearyJuly 12, 2013Nice private room for small, private events -- great lunch during #techweek with @scoop.it
ISC ChicagoApril 13, 2012In and out in half an hour for lunch, quite impressive! Blackened has good heat.
Great bar bites menu after 4PM. Cheese Puffs are excellent and $2 for 5!
Grace AldridgeDecember 6, 2015Do not get the raw oysters - they had no taste and were poorly shucked
John GrantmanAugust 23, 2011Avoid. Food average at best. Waiters might be worst in Chicago. LONG delays.

"Service was almost agressively good -- a great place if you want that chain fine dining experience. Can't beat the bone-in filet"
