The Nickel

"Helpful hint: make a reservation here! I did not know that ahead of time, & they did not have tables available, BUT thankfully they had seats open at the bar for us the evening we went. The Nickel is super close to the Denver Center for Performing Arts, so it's great for a pre-show drink & meal. The food was delicious & the drinks were so yummy! Shout out to our awesome bartender, I wish I could remember her name!"

"The Nickel is situated in the lobby of the Teatro Hotel. Had breakfast food is ok a bit on the expensive side for what it is. Check opening hours as it was frequently closed on several occasions I went to eat there."

"We waited 10 minutes to receive a menu after being seated for our reservation, another 10 minutes for a glass of water. Food was great, service was terrible. My husband never received items that he ordered, and when I asked for the check, our server became rude. Typically we tip very well (25 - 30%) and we did not after the terrible service."

"This place is amazing. The service, ambiance, and food all we're amazing. We had the butter board, caprese salad, lamb, and creme brulee. Server was incredibly knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations. They made an excellent vodka martini with blue cheese stuffed olives even though it wasn't on the menu. Will absolutely be coming back."

"If you’re looking for a restaurant that can take any dish and make it the best version you’ve eaten, look no further. I came in for the 2023 restaurant week menu, which is highlighted in the photos. The balance of flavors, while allowing each dish to shine individually, was executed flawlessly. The raviolo made my mouth water more with every bite, and the beet salad presented so playfully I couldn’t help but smile when it was set in front of me. The duck was rich and juicy, and I wish I could have taken home a bucket of the turnip purée. I’m usually skeptical about seafood in landlocked states, but the scallops were fresh and tender. You can never go wrong with a chocolate espresso tart, and my tastebuds were buzzing the moment the kumquat crème brûlée hit my tongue! The wine pairing complimented the dishes perfectly. If you don’t get a chance to come in this week, I could write pages on their other menus. A dish as simple as their Steel Cut Oats is something I crave regularly. On top of the incredible items created by their culinary team, the front of house staff is affable and attentive. The atmosphere is calm, while never feeling the service is slow. It is the perfect spot for anything from a morning business meeting to a special anniversary dinner. I can’t wait to come back in!"
