   Dusty's service was flawless. Just the right amount of checking in and leaving us alone. The food was overall very good but a bit overpriced even for Denver downtown. Over $50 for risotto and chicken. The lamb chops were absolutely the best I've had in years. We had the sour bread toast with mushrooms and the eye appeal was Gastly , excuse me , over $20? although the flavor was great. Reminded me of school chipped beef on bread. I would have used toast points with a small bowl of hot mushroom gravy as a spread. Just an idea

   My husband and I had a wonderful brunch. It was the first time eating at this restaurant. We stopped by before going to the ballet at DCPA. The food is great. The staff is super nice and professional; our waitress was a doll and very attentive. The Nickel has a lovely appealing atmosphere with its beautiful tall ceilings and fabulous windows. Highly recommend this place as a go-to restaurant before the theater. (We live near Parker, CO, so it is a bit of a destination for us to go on a regular basis). Sincerely

    I’ve come to The Nickel multiple times over the past 5 years, often before shows at the DCPA. I realize we’re living in a different restaurant scene post COVID, especially when it comes to staffing, but the Nickel has clearly lost its luster. Our food came out stone cold like it had been sitting for 10 minutes and in general the waitstaff were not commensurate with a high level restaurant. It honestly felt more like a Denny’s. Probably will not be coming back.

    Hi John, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for being a loyal guest over the years—we truly appreciate your continued support. I’m very sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t reflect the high standards we strive to maintain. Serving cold food and delivering anything less than attentive, polished service is not acceptable to us, and I want to sincerely apologize. I will make sure to bring this up with my staff and we are committed to excellence and always aim to provide a memorable, high-quality experience for every guest. The Nickel Management Team
