Nellie's

We saw the happy hour menu online and thought it sounded good. We went this afternoon and sat at the bar. We asked for the house cab and the bartender said they didn't have a house cab and served us a glass of red without even offering the other so we thought we were getting the happy hour house red. We were then given menus which were the every day menu and we had to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered food which was good as well as the wait time and service but when the bill came the wine was 48.00 for 4 glasses at 12.00 each instead of 24.00 for 6.00. We questioned the bartender and she said she told us they didn't have a house cab and she gave us a wine not on the happy hour menu. Had she informed us we would have gone with the house red. Not a good experience but we will know bett

My husband and I found this place when the place we originally came to the area for had an hour long wait. Not only did we get a lovely outside seat immediately at Nellie’s, but we had a great view and even better food quickly. Our server was super friendly, as was the hostess. It was a great surprise, and we will definitely make the trip again.

We recently hosted my son's first birthday party at Nellie's and it was the perfect spot! The restaurant was beautifuly decorated and the dining room was very comfortable for our 30 guests. The food, drinks and service was wonderful! They made every step of the way simple so I could truly enjoy the party! I highly recommend Nellie's for hosting your next gathering!

While visiting Branford on a beautiful day, we decided to try Nellie’s for lunch. We were sat right by the water and really enjoyed the views of the Branford River. I thought their menu had a great variety, full of seafood, pasta dishes, and even a cali burrito, which isn’t super common to see around here! Everything was delicious, including the desserts. The server was attentive, but it did take a long time for the desserts to come out, which was kind of surprising. Definitely a low-key spot and the inside of the restaurant was really nice, I would totally visit again next time I’m in the area.

We came on Saturday late night and it's pretty quiet. We ordered the special starter with prawns and pesto, it's pretty good but too salty. Then we had ahi tuna wrap and lobster roll. Lobster roll was full of meat and very juicy. The bun was soft. Very tasty. Tuna wrap was also delicious and fresh. Portions are big, came with portion of regular chips or sweet potato chips. Service was great and attentive.
