   Lovely breakfast. The food looked beautiful and was delicious. Such a gorgeous space, also. Good place to eat before matinee performances at the Denver Performing Arts Center. We had great service, also!

   Jake was a fantastic server and he made our night. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the mushroom toast and chocolate crème brûlée… they were delicious and a sensory experience!

   Very good food. Drinks a bit overpriced. Service great. Excellent spot for before the theater. Would like to see a slightly larger menu, currently too limited.

   The service was great. Friendly, inviting and attentive. The food taste was average, but for the experience, I think the quality of the product should be much better. Example - The strawberries on my brunch banana bread French toast were clearly cut days in advance, perhaps refrigerated uncovered because they were shriveled. The French toast was good, different but not hot and the syrup option is a pass. The salmon benedict was agreeable, tasty but not served on fry bread like the menu states, just the standard English muffin. The decor is open, bright and period perfect. Location great if you are theatre bound!

   Great service and great food. We love to go to the Nickel for brunch before the opera matinee.

   Lovely restaurant but we had very slow service. Waited 15 minutes for coffee and over half hour for breakfast. Staff was cordial but needs some organization no Sunday morning.

   Food was great. Service was really slow, plus no coffee refill and we had to flag down Manager for water refill.

   Moderate menu options. Food was okay, but not spectacular. The bar and interior design are stellar!

   Overall good experience, Nickel and Beet salads were good, Nickel burger and fries were good, Scarlet Smash cocktail was really good, brownie/ice cream dessert was ok but a little bitter. The Mushroom Risotto was terrible…extremely overcooked, mushy like oatmeal and with very little flavor. It was inedible and I sent it back. The restaurant did comp us for it though. I need to try this restaurant again before I would recommend it to anyone. There are plenty of better restaurants DT!

    Disappointing brunch. They are no longer catering to return customers having a pre theatre meal. It’s just a hotel restaurant now. Won’t be returning.
