Unaccomodating I tried to make reservations for a group of 20 a month in advanced and they told me they would have to call me back as they had to check the schedule of local venue's to make sure there weren't any events going on around town. If there was an event then they would not take our reservations. Obviously they would rather count on un reserved business versus a guarenteed reservation. We will not be going back here. My husband also ate here a month ago for lunch and the food has gone down hill.
overpriced, undercooked meat, & cockroach parts in meal – This is definitely the place to go if you have lots of cash to burn and also don't mind sampling some of the finer elements of dining such as exotic vermin in your dishes. I know that show Survivor was popular a few years ago, but I did not ask for a cockroach carcass in my meal. This is completely unacceptable. As if that wasn't enough, the soda was flat, and the bathroom was a mess. Toilet paper all over with feces smeared over the toilet seat. I understand it was F... read more
If you come here for dinner after 5 P.M., good luck getting to the dining room. You have to walk through the bar area to get to the dining room. The way the bar is set up,makes it impossible. If people are sitting at the bar and people are behind them, there is no pathway. I am handicapped, and I won't be back (even though the food is good).
You have to try it – We went to Nicholson's about two years ago and we were NOT impressed at all with the food we got. So when we had friends in town from Scotland I was not to sure about giving it another try, but I am so glad we did. The menu had changed somewhat since we had last been there and to say the least it was fantastic. The crab fritters as scrummmmy and the lobster mac an cheese is to die for. The service was great and the staff were real friendly. It really made our night special when the Chef (who is also Scot... read more
Extremely disappointing – This place has gone way down hill since I was last there a few months ago. The interior, dowdy, drab and boring as it was, has been strangely altered in a disorganized fashion. The charming, entertaining waiters and waitresses have been replaced by a group that appears to be bored and unhappy. In sharp contrast to the waiter who had served my colleagues and I on our previous visit, the staff now appears to be completely clueless regarding the Scotches, wines and beers. The menu has been altered some... read more

Best of Cincinnati - A great local spot for group events – I have planned a lot of dinner/cocktail events all over the country during my career and when I ran into a small (actually it was rather large!) reservations snafu with my own cocktail hour the night before my wedding in Cincinnati this spring (with lots of out-of-towners to take care of) Nicholson's, or more specifically, the local owner Nick saved the day. Nicholson's treated our guests so wonderfully, when they really didn't have to - and everyone loved the food (... read more
This is the perfect place to have dinner before a show at the Aronoff! The food, service, and atmosphere are excellent! Try the fish 'n chips, but substitute the mashed potatoes for the chips. Yum!
