It is the philosophy that makes all our bars and restaurants exceptional. A bar or a restaurant can be very fancy or down to earth, but the most valuable thing about it is a scent of comfort and excitement, the atmosphere inside, which is created by a mystical set of ingredients – location, concept, food, interiors, people and genuine passion for excellent service. Dim lighting, dark wood, leather sofas, and exposed brick make our relaxed and refined bar feel a world away from the big city.The Nickel Mine is the first US project of MST Hospitality Group.

I was invited to a soft opening. My friend was unable to make it so I went alone for lunch. I was greeted warmly and seated inside as it was too cold on the patio. Robby was my server and he was fantastic from the start. I started with the ceviche appetizer, the fish was cod., large delicious pieces. A big portion wi/ tortilla chips along the plate. They are made in house. Crunchy and perfect. I order grilled Kanpachi with chimmchuri. It really was a pesto. The fish was cooked perfectly and again, a large portion. I had the sesame green beans and elote corn off cob. I had a blood orange lemonade, very refreshing. I chose to paste on dessert. They packed up my leftovers in compostable packaging. This is a big deal to me. Many of the staff came over and asked how I was enjoying my meal. I am a long time local and this new restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I will be back. I wish them much success.
