Nick's Fishmarket Grill & Bar

Went here for Restaurant Week...I got the steak and was pleased with it...My man got the salmon and it was deeeeeeelish...I saw the bowls that the lobster bisque was served in and they were so tiny so opted to get the salad instead...The white chocolate cheesecake tasted pretty good...The key lime pie was very limey...All in all, just okay in my book...

Went here for a valentines day dinner and the food was delicious. We ordered calamari to start and it came with 3 different sauces that were amazing. For entrees we ordered 2 different types of fish, a salmon and a whitefish. The whitefish was had more of a chinese flavor but was sooooo good. Both were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes and slaw that came with were devine. The decor is very modern and the lighting is pretty cool. I would def go back .

My lovely wife and I stopped here for a late lunch after spending the morning touring the design studios at the Merch.  We had 10:00pm dinner reservations after a show at 7:30pm, so we figured a substantial lunch was in order to hold us over.

At 3:00pm on a Thursday, the place was all but empty.  But having celebrated our anniversary a "tad" too much the prior evening, we decided to go the water and Pepsi route for drinks and leave the higher octane stuff for later.

I've been to the Nick's in Rosemont, but tucked into the North side of the Merch, this location is a little bit more like a sports bar, at least that's my opinion.

We started with the Flaming Spinach and Artichoke dip, which was expertly ignited by our server, Vince.  It was yummy, and a good way to start.  Be wary though, because the first bite of the tasty dip is like molten lava.

My wife chose the Fish Tacos and couldn't have loved them more.  The battered cod was cooked perfectly, and the avocado crema was a great accompaniment.  The coleslaw was probably some of the best we've ever had in a restaurant, cool and creamy with just the right amount of tang to compliment the fish.

I opted for the Blackened Tilapia sandwich.  The blackening spices were just right, producing a very nice amount of heat while not overpowering the fish.  Served simply on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, and a dab of remoulade (I would have been happy with some on the side as well for dipping the thin crispy fries), it was pretty darn good.

As other reviewers have said, this really isn't a date spot but you gotta make your own romance, right?

We left happy and filled just enough to carry us through to our late night dinner reservations.
