Restaurant was nice and staff was very friendly. Food was delicious I had the bison short rib ravioli the only complaint was that one of the ravioli had no meat it was all fat. The crab cake appetizer was delicious as well.

The food was well prepared and hot. The ambiance was quiet and a good place for conversation. The Nickel is located close to the DCPA complex, so it is convenient to enjoy a meal and walk to the complex.

Nicolette was an angel when we first walked in and took us to a table but my lil sis wanted to sit next to the window. Nicolette was very kind and understanding and gave us a high top in the bar to wait and have a cocktail. 20 minutes later she sat us at the window!! We had Sam for a waiter who was excellent!! He showed up when we needed him, checked on us after the food was served and described and delivered all of food hot and tasty. We had the east coast oysters to start, chop chop salad for the ladies and lobster bisque for the men. Lamb chops, the seafood special a Chilean sea bass with all kind of things with it, scallops and the grouper. Everyone loved their meal, apps and the in between. We love Ocean Prime and my lil sis from California does too.
