   The restaurant was closed for construction and we were not made aware before arriving. We ate our dinner in their lobby bar while listening to the beeping of machinery and loud noises of the work being done. I know they didn’t want to lose business, but they should have warned us.

   Almost 30 minutes late being seated. Only one server for at least 10 tables. In their defense - undergoing renovation so set up in lounge. But they could be much better prepared.

   This is a tough one since the actual Nickel was closed and the restaurant was essentially moved into the hotel's bar. I have to tell you that sitting in the bar was much cozier and fun. The food was incredible too. I did feel like our poor waitress was a little overwhelmed, but she was still attentive and very good.

   The food was great and the ambiance wonderful. The service was a touch slow and, for being so close to the performing arts complex, they didn’t seem concerned if we had show tickets or not. Plus, the actual restaurant was under remodel so we ate in the hotel lobby, which was lovely and cozy, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time the adjustment. All in all a lovely experience and good food.

   When we arrived at The Nickle, we were told that our reservations were not being honored because the restaurant was closed because of a leaking ceiling, that happened that morning.. It was further explained that the system was not supposed to take reservations, but was down. Since we made the reservations the night before, how was the system supposed to know that there would be a leaky ceiling the next day? I believe the seating hostess was confused. We were told we could find seats in the Library (the cocktail lounge, and have drinks and bar food. Which we did. Service was slow due to lack of help, but the two servers who were there did their best, so we could hardly find fault with them. The food was good as were the very expensive drinks. We will try again, when the restaurant is finally open and hope that all is back to normal.

   I had a reservation for the Nickel restaurant on December 15. However, the restaurant was closed and only the library was open serving bar snacks. No reservations were honored and it was packed. It was also extremely understaffed and we could not get a table so we went elsewhere. This was disgraceful and I won't go here again despite being a regular pre-theater patron previously.

   Restaurant wasn’t open even though we had a confirmed reservation. Left us scrambling to get a reservation elsewhere.

   If I could give 0 stars, I would. Made a pre-theater reservation here - when we arrived, discovered that the restaurant was only serving “bar bites”, there was no seating available and no reservations were being honored. Apparently due to a “technical issue”. No-one from the restaurant bothered to email or call, or come and explain/apologize when we arrived - they left the poor woman on hotel reception to deal with the issue. I was told the restaurant assistant manager would come talk to us - he didn’t, he just walked off. Absolute disgrace. Needless to say we did not stay and won’t be back.

We would love the chance to welcome you back and provide the experience you were hoping for.

    This restaurant is actually under construction, and the only seating and service is in the bar and lounge area. The staff says they actually aren't taking reservations, but apparently, OpenTable didn't get the memo. As a service to and for patrons, you need to get your act together with the restaurant.

    Hi Roger, Thank you so much for sharing this feedback with us. It sounds like you came on the night that we had a major technical issue without reservation system allowing guests to book with us on a night that we only offer bar seating. I'm very sorry that you experienced this issue on the night that you came. Rest assured, the glitch has been resolved. I would love an opportunity to invite you and your joiners back so that w can show you how we've improved. If you don't mind emailing me, I would love to set that up for you! Thanks you again for this helpful feedback and my sincerest apologies for the misunderstanding. Best, Taylor Trenda Food & Beverage General Manager
