    Outstanding as always! The tasting menu never disappoints and neither does the service. This was our first time trying the outdoor seating and it was a wonderful experience all around.

    Took a visitor from New York here for dinner. Two ordered the seasonal tasting menu and one ordered ala carte. All had the rack of boar for the main. The food was excellent; the best since coming to town said our New Yorker. The service was professional and engaging. Raves to our server, Skye, for her witty sparring with our guest.

    Driven by this place a million times, never thought about stopping there. Made a reservation last night and we’ll definitely be going back. The hangar steak was one of the best I’ve had, cocktails and wine were delicious, service was impeccable.

    Thank you for asking about noise level! Noise was a very low - as it should be at ALL fine dining restaurants. Salmon was delicious and duck confit made me think I was in Paris.

    I go to Nell’s for reliable excellence. It’s a lovely quiet room and the food is always outstanding. Everything was delicious. The Watermelon Gaspacho and Onion Tart are not to be missed.

    Nell’s never disappoints for food or service in our experience. The place looks a bit tired but once food arrives it is easy to forget the dated decor.

    Nells is so predictably good... good food, good service, good wines, and so importantly - quiet! It is lovely to actually be able to have a conversation over dinner. thanks Nells for staying the course.
