Located within Denver’s historic Tramway Building, originally opened in 1911, The Nickel pays homage to the space that was once used to collect fare from customers riding its resident streetcars: a nickel. Just as the building in which The Nickel is housed has a storied past, the dishes found on the menu at The Nickel all have a story. We proudly serve menus that incorporate the highest quality ingredients from farmers, ranchers, distillers and craft producers, and is comprised of dishes that are easily recognizable and feel simple, but eat complex.

          Service was amazing. We loved our server. We went for Thanksgiving meal. The turkey was essentially a cold, cut loaf. It wasn’t a traditional turkey which was really disappointing. The portions were really big and we have plenty to eat. It just wasn’t the best quality of food.

          It was fine, except when we arrived, they said I did not have a reservation which I clearly made with Open Table.

          Food good. Cocktail disappointing. Service not proactive: empty water glass left unfilled; removed silverware replaced only at the last minute.

          The chicken (leg and thigh) was dried out, over cooked. The cheesy polenta was too salty and bland. The brussel sprouts were dry and undercooked, no bacon fat. Overall pretty disappointing.

          Took a full 7 minutes before a waitperson arrived to ask if we would like a drink. They are used to pre-theater diners, and the seating was more than half empty. When the server arrived and said we were ere wondering when someone would show up, she said oh, yeah. Didn’t acknowledge and didn’t apologize. I had salmon on risotto with peas. The flavor was good but the presentation was very plain. On a big white plate. Yawn. My friend’s salad looked fine, and she said her salmon addition was good. I didn’t appreciate being seated at a large oval table for 4, just inside the door. Cozier tables for 2 were open. When I asked to sit farther away from the door, the hostess said “yeah, ok”. She wasn’t overly concerned. What could have been a lovely experience was diminished by inattentive, non-communicative staff and rather plain presentation.
