About Nique Restaurant
Nique is not just a restaurant - it's a family. We are a group of young, passionate individuals hungry to provide our customers with a dynamic and welcoming experience. We think our approach to food and drink is inherently Canadian. Not because we serve beavertail poutine with maple syrup gravy (we don't serve this), but because our menu is a cultural mosaic. This nod to Canadian culture allows us to be both approachable and adventurous. We believe that by giving people delicious food in a comfortable environment, we can foster a strong community and sense of home that will surprise and delight you.

Service was a little slower than I usually prefer, but all in all it was a great experience.
This restaurant was recommended to me. A friend of mine had said it was worth the drive to Hamilton. I live in Toronto was in Hamilton to see a show. We had a reservation and when we sat down we told our waiter that we were going to an 8pm show. He said it wasn’t a problem and the entire restaurant was going to the same show. We ordered drinks and appetizers to share between the 6 of us. We had a pitcher of sangria, glass of white wine, vodka and a bottle of red wine. All the drinks came except for the bottle of wine. The easiest of the order. We had to wait quite awhile for it to be delivered. It all came eventually. We then ordered our main courses. 5 hamburgers and one salmon. Pretty easy fare. At 7:15 we inquired as to when the food would be served as it was gettting late. Our waiter explained the kitchen was jammed and it would be another 15 min. We figured we could still make it. Then the waiter came to us at 7:30 and said that he had bad news. We weren’t getting our food. This was quite shocking. He said that they were just too busy. You are a restaurant. I’m sure this wasn’t the first time it was a full house! Our waiter told us that our tab was looked after. We appreciate this as a very generous gesture. However we had no recourse. We were starving and now had to dash to the show and had no way of having dinner. So now 6 of us are very disappointed with Nique and we probably won’t return.
The server forgot our drinks, the wait for dinner took 40 min and there was a 10 min delay on one of the meals. I was at a table and able to view kitchen the our two hamburge plates were sitting under lights for several minutes then served, fries were cold. The server served two teas only 1/2 full of hot water, before the tea bag was removed. We had to ask for more water. The salmon dish was excellent. My husband and friends said they wouldn’t go back. Was my favourite restaurant, but service wasn’t at par this time.
Awesome experience. Great vibe. Excellent food and drink.
Sidney, our server, was very friendly and responsive. Both items he recommended were amazing.
Nique was an amazing experience for my party of 4. We loved it, the food was unique, tasty, flavourful. We were visiting from Toronto for the evening, I wish I lived in Hamilton because this would be my weekly place to dine!! An excellent establishment with friendly staff
Food was amazing!!
Food, atmosphere, and staff were awesome !
The Tuesday special (fried chicken) was really tasty and made for a nice option to share as a group. It was also a great price, especially compared to other items on the menu.
Great food. Cool vibe. Friendly stAff. Thank you!

We've had good dinners here, but brunch was a disappointment. Coffee was lukewarm - and this was right at opening, 11am. Not sure how that would happen. My brisket Benedict also came out closer to cold than to hot. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen, but it was unimpressive.
Our server was absolutely amazing! Great food! We had a blast.
Neat concept, friendly staff + well balanced wine list. The Tomahawk steak portion size was too tiny to share across 6 people - the server should have imparted this to our group before we ordered.
Great atmosphere and attentive service. Some hits and misses on menu. Overall welcome addition to James North restaurants.
Wait staff very attentive
Food is always amazing and service is outstanding. We always look forward to coming and all the staff is wonderful. Best dining experience every time
This was our first time at Nique and we’ll definitely be back! Food was fantastic.
I thought it took a little longer than normal to get our drinks.
Sushi nacho is fantastic
Great dinner, experience and atmosphere! Very cool vibes, open kitchen, decor and ambiance, felt like we were not in the Hammer (in a good way), we'll be back!
took my sisters and my Mom here for apps and drinks to celebrate a birthday ... will definitely return :)
