    The drinks were exceptional all night. We sat at the bar and after ordering our normal go-to cocktails, we let the bartender, who was fantastic, serve us up some suggestions. He provided one amazing drink after another, made with precision and know how. He was friendly and professional and was happy to talk us through what he was making. Others at the bar often ordered whatever he was making for us. I liked the atmosphere and this place is almost reason for me to chose the Fairmont for our next Seattle stay on its own.

    I count on Nells for an always reliable experience. Excellent food and service. It was a warm day and we sat outside the outside tables have a nice view of Green Lake. They are a bit noisier due to the Tavern next door. Compared to inside, which is always quiet. I relish Nell’s for a place where you can really talk with your companion
