Nicks Bar and Grill is a restaurant located along Wharf 6 of King Street Wharf. The precinct has many restaurants and eateries serving locals and tourists, as they soak up the beautiful views of Darling Harbour and the neighbouring suburb of Pyrmont.
With six waterfront restaurants spread across Sydney’s iconic Darling Harbour, Nick’s Restaurant and Bar Group has been serving both locals and visitors for over 20 years. Having dined in a couple of them with family and work colleagues, we looked forward to a lazy Sunday long lunch at Nick’s Bar & Grill located in King Street Wharf.
Great range of menu items and all killer dishes. Portions are huge and even the salads are super tasty. Staff are also really accomodating and plated up my friend's birthday cake nicely.

Nick's Bar and Grill is located on King St Wharf, beside a beautiful King St Wharf waterview. Water always calms me down and makes be feel relaxed so it makes for a perfect venue for a Sunday lunch. While it's outdoor seating at Nick's Bar and Grill, they have a number of outdoor heaters for when it gets too cool. As I decide to order a cheeky glass of wine - the Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon from Margaret River in WA ($12, glass) while Matt orders a Lord Nelson Beer ($9.50).
I had the "The all time favourite I’m Angus Rump steak" from the TASTEFUL BITES menu and it was cooked to perfection and it just melted in the mouth.
I think the mushroom sauce should have been thickened up a bit and it should of had a bit more mushroom in it. apart from saying that I really enjoyed my meal
Price: Worth the value
Place: Very good location and restaurant set-up
Food: Big servings with great taste
Service: Waiting time is just enough and the staff are approachable and friendly
Delightful. Sea food was fresh and delicious, the atmosphere was casual and inviting. The cocktails were excellent. A great place to have lunch on the weekend when walking around the harbor. Recommend.

Massive portion, reasonable price, tasty; however a couple of things stopped me from enjoying my experience.
Firstly a $20 surcharge on a long weekend, not clearly mentioned on the menus. Mention of public holiday surcharge is listed however a regular Saturday after Australia Day? That’s rediculous.
Bathrooms- make and female are on opposite sides of the venue and there are no signs, I had to find the right one by trial and error.
Bill splitting- seems to be an issue across only two cards, felt like we were an exception being allowed to do so.
Bar- a very social venue , however drinks cannot be ordered at the bar, only through the table. The bill splitting problem may ruin the experience for say a group of friends (being with family it was not an issue).
Food- the ribs are great value and fill you up however the sauce is a bit too sweet. My partner ordered the schnitzel special , we were too late for the special, however we were informed it be impossible to order outside the time for a normal price. She settled for a medium rare rump, which came out rare- the cook misread the order. They were hasty in replacing it with a correctly cooked one however.
Being in a perfect location and reasonable food, I believe this place has potential to be a lot more with some minor adjustments.
Very busy restaurant in the King Street Wharf precinct. Good grill options , we tried the Kangaroo Fillet, The Rump Steak “surf n turf” with sides of seasonal vegetables . Good food and a good location.
Awesome place at Darling Harbour, Sydeny! Till today I remember their fresh steamed and grilled vegetables! They make amazing garlic bread and fries. And i loved their mocktails too. I highly recommend this place if you really crave for tasty food there at Darling Harbour in Sydney, Australia.
I had been to Nick's several times over the years. Being at a touristy location, I always thought the food was good but not great but the views and atmosphere is what made the restaurant. However, my recent experience changed my view of Nick's. On a beautiful, balmy summer's night, Nick's was a wonderful place for dinner. The place was heaving with activity - with locals and tourists a like. The staff were relaxed and friendly and instead of ordering individual entrees and mains, the decision was on the Seafood Platter for 2. I am so glad this dish was ordered. It was a generous platter of fresh and cooked seafood including quite a large lobster mornay which was rich, sweet, cheesy and delicious! All the seafood were fresh and of good quality. It was not what I had expected and I was so happily surprised. It is great value especially if you love seafood like me. There is also a reasonable wine list at various price ranges to accomodate any budget. A satisfying & happy meal.
Really great Melbourne Cup event here. Considering the crowd and high expectations, the service was really quite good. And the food was much better.
The entree of pork belly and scallops was great, and my barramundi main was cooked to perfection. The chocolate, custard tart capped of this meal just right. A delicious bottle of McGuigan Red whilst watching the passers by and harbour views... happy days!
We just ordered a plan of Nik's signature sea food. It was too much for 2 people. The crayfish tasted a little bit sweet. The fish fried as good as it should be. But the oysters were just not reached level. Anyway, above all it's a good restaurant deserve to be recommended.
We had a lovely dining experience at Nick's. The service was great - we did dine outside of the normal hours but we were seated quickly, had our orders taken straight away and received our food in no time at all, plus we weren't made to feel rushed. Food was good too!
Nicks bar and grill is a well presented restaurant in Darling Harbour. The food was great especially the desserts they have! Service was a 10 out of 10. I will be back soon. And the steaks are a must try!!
Nice restaurant in a good location. Food is a bit pricey for what you get, but in saying that it does taste really good. Really nice cocktails as well, had the Raspberry Mojito and would definitely recommend it! Waiters were very friendly and helpful as well. Overall a nice place for drinks and food.
Nicks Seafood king st wharf. Great night out with the girls, thanks chefs,especially to the handsome blonde chef who cooked my salmon, delicious.
The fish were both very good and succulent. This, I think, is the first time we’ve had Snapper and found it excellent, and I’ll certainly have that again in the future. The mash was lovely and creamy, and the chips were crisp and nice and fluffy inside.

“That’s the damnedest thing I ever saw… it seemed to swoop down at you deliberately.” If I hadn’t seen Hitchcock’s 1963 movie The Birds , I’d swear seagulls were getting smarter. Yes, I’m starting a review with birdlife again, but their ingenuity stood out at this popular 550-seater. Like the gulls, Nick’s Restaurant Group owns most of the prime waterfront real estate in the Darling Harbour basin. This one combines the seafood elements from Nick’s Seafood Restaurant ; with the steaks from I’m Angus - sometimes even on the same plate as per Australia’s perennial favourite: surf and turf. Fillet Steak and Prawns ($45) offers a juicy steak, a pair of king prawns, chips, asparagus spears and a side of hollandaise that... ...probably goes better with my Grilled John Dory Fillets ($42) . Most families, unless they’re keen on a birthday picture with a seafood platter, start their meal with Oysters ($24/6) . They’re accompanied by bread and butter, the usual vinaigrette, and - in w
Not service. I agree below, service is bit slow..
Food was nice though.
Food is ok and lunch special is good value but service is a bit slow
Service was excellent. Very friendly and quick. Mash is orgasmic!! Wish I had some right now. P.S the mains were great aswell. :p
Happy Father's day. Glad to report perfect Father's Day lunch on a perfect Sydney day. Nick"s Bar & Grill proved to be the perfect venue.
Our designated wait staff operative (Not the done thing to say "waitress") was attentive and friendly. The two fathers in the party had the Fish pie and the John Dory and were more than happy. The John was cooked to the ideal fork separable standard with a delightful sauce . The pie wastasty, hearty and impressive according to the other father.
Complimentary little bottle of wine was a nice touch and the online booking enquiry worked well.

Lined with plenty of restaurants with great views over Darling Harbour and the wharf with docked boats, this is a great place to stop to grab a bite and enjoy the view.
If you want to take a cruise, there's private charters available for hire for functions and parties, as well as general cruises which also include ones where you can enjoy a meal or high tea.
Beautiful promenade on Darling Harbour with a fantastic view of the National Maritime Museum. Lots of amazing food and bar options along the stretch. Good place to go for a run as well ! You also get a view of the CBD buildings from this end.
Lots of places to just sit and relax and watch the cruises and boats go by. Many cruise ships start and terminate their journeys here. There are many paid parking lots slide by but pretty expensive.
You can also reach the Sydney Aquarium as you walk along the stretch. Good way to spend couple of hours on a lazy weekend !
Great restaurants along the wharf precinct. A beautiful easily accessible place to walk alongside the gorgeous Darling Harbour. The walk takes you from Darling Harbour right around to Barangaroo and eventually back to the Harbour Bridge via Walsh Bay.
Arrive here by ferry and you'll see all these luxury an Cruise boats lined up on the wharf. There are bars and restaurants on the other side, generally fancy and more pricey fare.
It's nice to sit here but really don't expect too much from the views, the opposite shore is a stone throw away. You can see the naval museum.
Great friendly buisy place on the weekends, full with diverse public heading out for local eateries and clubs as well as various harbour cruise businesses arround. Great views all arround and a nice celebration atmosphere. Highly recommended on the weekends.
An excellent location with many bars, restaurants and entertainment
Nice walk and good view great places to eat or drink.

“Yeah Buoy Jungle Boat Party”
If the pun in the title of the 4 hour saga you are about to embark on is not enough to give you a bad Oman, remember this: I would bet $50 on half of the patrons not actually knowing what the “buoy” is in nautical terms. Therefore, equipped with this knowledge, you know your experience could be amazing or a test of pure will which the memories will be cookies, to keep in your Goggins cookie jar for a later occasion.
Did I have fun, yes and no. I at least had a purpose there. I was there for my friend’s 30th, which just like him, did not make much complete rhyme or reason why it should be on a boat full of British back packers with their faces and implants melting in the heat while the sickly sweet vaped nicotine swirls lucidly around their sticky, painstakingly customized bangs.
Could I have had more fun, by simply not being sick and not filling myself up with a very unwise cocktail of substances, yes. While on a boat cruise where English is spoken by all, but no one seems to understand a word another patron mentions, I indulged in a silly contingency prize. I knew that I was down, so trying to put my face by the door on and mask my fatigue and course of penicillin side effects, I drank moderately, consumed cannabis and mixed that with a singular magiv mushroom. It was so toxic and horrible to be in this vacuous headspace surrounded by vacuous dementor people that I recommend this experience to all. It will humble your supposedly fortified mind like drowning in your underpants in navy seal training.
My friends were cool and the only thing grounding me. The others felt like s lopsided hurricane and mish mashed the boulevard walkers of Miami, Majorca and Cairns into an awkard gay time on a mardi gras cruise. The boys who have necks like vultures from years of abused posture awkwardly leer like literal vultures at the lass’s who indignantly ask the fridge of man mauri at the downstairs toilet “So I can’t even go and have a wee!” vapes, phones and drinks cluttering around their bejewelled fingers. They drop them down the stairs, almost purposely, coupled with a cheeky pommy grin as the mauri concedes early and understands they are just following their physical totems of addiction down the stairs to then plead closer to the rotten bathroom door.
