Nick’s Fishmarket – open!

Chicago location.


What was Nick’s Fishmarket in Beverly Hills is now Bootsy Bellows, but locations change since 1979. Nick’s is a chain of restaurants from Hawaii to Florida to Vegas to Chicago. From the Florida Trend:

The business card of Nicholas S. Nickolas puts it simply: "Boss" is listed underneath his distinctive name. And Boss he most certainly is, and certainly has been during his four decades in the most trying of trades -- starting in Hawaii and now returning to Hawaii with Nick's Fishmarket of Hawaii in Boca Raton.

The Boss has been in Boca for 17 years as director of food and beverage operations for the Boca Raton Resort and Club and in charge of Nick's Fishmarket, a name carried across the country from Hawaii to Las Vegas, Beverly Hills and Chicago. Forty years and 34 restaurants, starting with the first Nick's Fishmarket in 1968, which did a million dollars the first year as its winning formulas were developed and perfected.


The menu features Hawaiian, Asian, and something dubbed a “Plain ole Salad.”
