  “Visited today and had the best time ever. It was my mums 70th so there was 5 plus dog. Andre was amazing, so attentive, thoughtful and kind. Had great knowledge and recommendations of the food and wine. I cant rememeber how long its been since we had service at this level. Cant recommend enough”

  “We had a gorgeous patio table with a wonderful waiter, Andre, who was so attentive to our needs. The whole staff was amazing and the location is relaxing. The atmosphere is fine tuned and optimizes both energy and calm at the same time. I really appreciate the vegan friendly food, as well. The Donuts were my favorite part of our meal!”

  “Came here for dinner whilst in Bournemouth. Amazing atmosphere and everything is so beautiful to look at. Staff seemed lovely. Only downer for me was the food. The fish and chips weren't the best ive ever had but my partner had an amazing hanging steak. Little pricey but you expect it with going there as it is a high end hotel/restaurant. Cocktail was nice.”

  “We went on the bank holiday weekend (24/05/26). The view from the terrace is stunning. However the service was super slow. The food was delicious (and the house white wine excellent) but afterwards our stomachs were upset (maybe due to the food, maybe not. Hard to be certain).”

  “This is the restaurant that was really convenient as we stayed in the hotel. Food really basic. See the worst looking Açai smoothie bowl ever. Fruit pieces swimming in runny smoothie. No muffins left for eggs royal. Service staff doing their best to reject clients. We have been refused entry twice for closed kitchen (despite the fact that people continued to eat during and after and right until dinner) and for having a sari dress covering all around (despite people in their bikinis wining and dining jolly). I have even seen a naked dressed woman at dinner.”

  “Andre was wonderful — kind, patient, and very attentive. I had a few questions about which foods were safe for me to eat, and he took the time to double-check every item I asked about. I really appreciated his care and reassurance. Thank you, Andre, for the excellent service!”

  “When the sun hits Bournemouth, The Nici is the place to be. It’s pure Miami glamour on the South Coast—perfect for soaking up rays on the terrace with a cocktail in hand. ​The Deal: Their weekday set lunch is fantastic value (2 courses for £19 / 3 for £24). ​The Food: ​Starters: The Shrimp Tempura with Miami slaw was a tropical hit. The Duck Parfait was delicious, though it desperately needed a second piece of focaccia! ​Mains: Solid classics like Chicken Milanese with truffle dressing and a fresh Sea Bass Fillet with gnocchi. ​Desserts: Don’t skip the Biscoff Doughnuts or the tropical Knickerbocker Glory. ​The Verdict: The menu is simple but good. With smartly dressed, professional staff and a dog-friendly terrace, it’s the ultimate "see and be seen" spot. Wear your best sunglasses!”

  “We visited South Beach Restaurant & Bar at The Nici and were really impressed with the atmosphere, it has a vibrant, stylish feel that makes it a lovely place to relax and enjoy a treat. We went for the Valentine’s afternoon tea, which was beautifully presented and looked absolutely stunning. While the sweet selection was visually gorgeous, we did find the flavours a little bland compared to how impressive they appeared. A fun extra touch we loved was the complimentary popcorn available for guests watching a film in the hotel’s cinema such a thoughtful detail that added to the overall experience. Overall, it’s a gorgeous setting with a great vibe, perfect for a special occasion or a stylish catch up.”

  “We returned to South Beach Restaurant & Bar for lunch as a group of eight and had a really lovely experience. The two course set menu was excellent value and beautifully done. The starters were warm and full of flavour, and the soup in particular was outstanding. For mains, the chicken milanese was superb. Perfectly cooked, very crispy, and presented to a high standard. Marcin and his team run the restaurant extremely well. Even during a busy half term midweek lunch service, everything felt organised, attentive, and welcoming. The service was professional throughout and the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. Thank you again to the whole team at The Nici. We will definitely be back.”

  “Had a 100th birthday celebration. 1st time and it didn't dissapoint. The steak was sooo good its pricey at £37 but I cannot say it wasn't worth every penny affordable if you don't drink all evening lol. My friend had chicken and that too was melt in your mouth. The set menu at £22 for 2 courses is the best value. Best strawberry daiquiris, asked for coconut rum and it was made that way £15 per cocktail. £8 for 2 scopes of Devine ice cream is on par cost wise for pubs and restaurants where the food quality is nowhere near the south beach restaurant. Ice cream was bailey's, salted caramel and vanilla, it was very nice.”
