The Half Nelson

I made a reservation at Half Nelson for dinner from out of town, and we were not disappointed one bit! I have dairy, gluten, and peanut allergies and our waiter was incredibly versed in the menu and immediately knew what items the chef could modify. He shared that they are working towards a fully gf menu! I had lots of choices available to choose from. I had the pork collar el pastor and it was the best meal I’ve had in a long time! My boyfriend had the short rib and was raving about it the entire time as well. To top it off, the drinks are also phenomenal. Worth the stop and I would highly recommend!

Great service and food. The beef ribs were a hit. Absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place. Dessert wqs absolutely delicious

The epitome of fine dining but in a relaxed atmosphere. The employees are all friendly, unique, and down to earth. Our server, Alexis, was professional and attentive without the slightest bit of stuffiness! Better still, the food is incredible. As good as anything from a Michelin rated kitchen, hands down. Make this a must of you are anywhere in the area! My husband had a 32 Hour Braised Short Rib while I had their house made Goat Cheese Agnolotti. Superb!!!

half nelson has been so consistently amazing every time ive gone! this past saturday, we stopped by & our server was awesome, our drinks were perfect & our meals were just SO freaking good! the ambiance in there is so lovely as well. definitely one of the best restaurants in the QC ❤️

This place left me truly giddy. My husband insisted we get the garlic salad, it was the best salad I ever had. Even if you are not a salad person, it is way better than any fried appetizer on the menu. For my entree I got the mushroom ricotta whatever pasta that was on the menu, It was Incredible, I never eat Italian, but this was amazing. My husband got the short rib and it was so rich, flavorful, and delicious. Now the true star of the evening, the brown butter cheesecake. Not only was it the best cheesecake I’ve ever had, it was the best dessert I’ve ever had. If I thought the garlic salad was 10/10 this was 1000/10. They need to keep this on the menu 24/7 year round. Do not skip the garlic salad and brown butter cheesecake. If you think duck city is good compared to this, sorry but you have no taste.

Where do I start with this place! The food is always incredible - Chef Connor puts his heart and soul into creating absolutely incredible dishes for the guests here. Seeing his creativity on a plate is a true treat!! Bren is always making up the best cocktails in the area also and is a hoot if you get to sit at the bar and get to know her! She is attentive, kind and checks in often. And lastly, Raven is so fun and sweet, always making our dining experience the absolute best. Her hospitality is top notch and truly, I wish every server was like her. Half Nelson - thank you for making meals memorable, having a beautiful atmosphere, hiring the best talent and giving us the best dining experience in town, consistently.

The chef changed the crab beignets unfortunately. Now they’re smaller, fewer, with a crunchy coating. Not bad, but pale in comparison to the original. The atmosphere is upscale & we’ve enjoyed all the entrees so far. The steak tartar was delicious as well. Not the easiest place for a handicapped person. Street parking & no handicap spots & a long slanted ramp to get in. It’s an old building. The menu changes regularly which is a plus since it’s rather limited in size.
