Great meal from start to finish. The scallops and parmesan risotto were amazing. The service was good, and the wine flight selections were even better.

The food was great and the waitress was wonderful. The only problem we had was the noise level. There were a few Christmas parties going on and it was hard to hear the conversations at our table. We asked to be moved to the other room but they said it was easier on the staff if we sat there.

Great food, great service. Collin was great. Lots of parties, made it a bit loud at times, but not annoying. Made for a festive evening in the dining area.

Reservations were very easy. Service was very attentive. Food was traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving day and was delicious. Was a very good experience for time when we needed good restaurant to be open.

This is our second year in a row going to The Wooden Nickel for Thanksgiving dinner. It was an excellent choice once again. Our turkey meal was quite tasty. However, the real standout was the outstanding service we received from Maddie. She was genuinely warm, attentive, and efficient. Her service certainly helped make our visit an enjoyable one.

Service was prompt and friendly. Veal cutlet was tender but lacked seasoning and had to be sent back because it wasn’t hot. Carrot cake was outstanding.

My friend and I enjoyed our dinner at the Wooden Nickel last night. Our server, Collin was very professional and attentive. Our meals were well-prepared and enjoyable -- Scallops & Risotto and the Salmon Oscar. The side salad was very fresh and the bread was delicious.
