    Great for seafood lovers, also great vegetarian options. We had a great time- the table next to ours was loud- so it wasnt the best venue in retrospect to catch up with old friends- But we all had a superb dinner and really enjoyed ourselves.

    Another year. Another anniversary. Another reservation at Nell's. Another fabulous meal. A nice, quiet table for 2 tucked away in the corner. Easy parking, especially for a reservation before 6pm. Attentive, professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff. An excellent wine list featuring a number of half-bottles. And, of course, great food with perfect execution. I opted for the tasting menu: ahi tuna tartare, snap pea risotto, grilled rack of lamb and flourless chocolate cake. My wife chose the hearts of palm and orange salad with fennel, almond, parmesan and champagne vinaigrette (it was an explosion of great flavors and textures) then followed this with the hanger steak (always perfect) and the apple crisp with a glass of Sauternes. Can't wait until the next special occasion!
