The Nicolett

The Nicolett, in Lubbock, is a testament to the power of returning home with a refined global vision. Chef and owner Finn Walter, a native son, traveled the world—from Paris to Napa Valley—honing his craft before deciding that the most inspiring place to open his fine-dining destination was his hometown. Named after Lubbock's first hotel, The Nicolett embodies a sophisticated interpretation of High Plains cuisine, seamlessly blending ancient European techniques with the unique ingredients and history of West Texas. This is more than just a restaurant; it's a bold and celebrated anchor in Lubbock's downtown revitalization, proving that world-class culinary excellence and innovation can flourish right in the heart of the Hub City.
