Explanation

Unique usually describes something that is the only one of its kind: 'Lennon will be remembered for his songs and for his unique sense of humour.'

In informal styles unique is sometimes used with more/most/rather etc. to mean 'unusual': 'This rather unique little restaurant is very popular with the locals.' This use of unique is considered by careful users to be incorrect.
