Quick Verdict
Book it. The food's solid, but the theatre is why locals return — the interactive menus rotate, so there's always a new reason to come back.
You want a 6-course tasting menu where the story matters as much as the plate, and you're willing to commit to 2 hours of Sherlock Holmes or whatever theme's running.
About Six by Nico Leeds
Six by Nico Leeds runs a 6-course tasting menu that changes every few months, rotating themes that turn dinner into theatre. Right now it's a Sherlock Holmes murder mystery where you investigate clues between courses whilst eating — the food arrives with a narrative built in. The kitchen's doing solid work (hot chocolate gets specific praise, the fennel cocktail lands), but the real star is the service staff who commit to the theme without making it feel forced. You're seated at a table, there's a bar, it's cosy and trendy without the pretension. Reviewers keep coming back for the interactive element — it's not just a tasting menu, it's a 2-hour experience where the waiter becomes part of the story. One server, Umar, shows up in 7 separate reviews as the reason people book again. The wine pairings work, the atmosphere stays relaxed even when the mystery's unfolding, and at this price point for a 6-course tasting menu with cocktails and wine, the value lands.
What Stands Out
Service staff who commit to the theme
Umar appears in 7 reviews as 'a fabulous host', 'a star', and someone who makes 'the whole experience come to life' by getting 'into the theme and story'. Charlie is praised for 'down to earth attitude' and 'authentic welcoming charm'. Cheenee made the experience 'unforgettable'.
Interactive tasting menu that rotates
Reviewers describe 'murder mystery experience', 'Sherlock Holmes experience', and 'detective work' built into the courses. One reviewer 'waited a year to make sure we caught one of their interactive menu'. The themes change — giving locals a reason to return.
Solid execution on food and drink
Reviewers praise 'great food', 'six courses of pure heaven on a plate', 'amazing' dishes, and specific mentions of 'hot chocolate' as a standout. Cocktails ('fennel cocktail was lovely') and wine pairings are highlighted. One review notes 'decent value for a top end tasting menu'.
What Customers Say
