    Restaurant was busy on a Saturday night, but still had a relaxed feel. The food was well presented and prepared. I love that there is parking. Service was friendly and attentive. They could use some new artwork, but everything is comfortable.

    Amazing dinner as usual and great wine pairing. We went for Valentine's Day and we each got the opposite items. Everything was perfectly cooked.

    We are long-term fans of Nell's. The food is always well cooked, well seasoned, and flavorful. The staff is gracious and helpful. The decor is nothing special but I really don't care. I appreciate that it's usually quiet and has more availability than it should for a place with such good food. The location across the street from Green Lake Park is pleasant and convenient for me. I wish them well.
