Their vegan options are plentiful, and every dish we had was delicious. We had the Vegan crab cakes, and the Vegan layer dip. The previous time we had the Vegan burger and Vegan tacos, which were delicious also. Staff are courteous and attentive. The view from the restaurant is nice, and the decor/atmosphere is spot on! Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Great vegan selection

Can highly recommend the clam chowder. The fish sandwich was too die for!

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.

Nellie Green’s is fantastic! Brian, our server was friendly, service great! The atmosphere inviting, the cocktail(kiki) delicious! Prices reasonable. Best of all, the street corn, lobster appetizer & lemon mascarpone w/ chocolate & berry sauce. Can’t wait to go for brunch on Sunday!

Hidden gem with awesome cocktails. Sat at the bar and ate a couple apps and many fantastic cocktails made by Alanna. We had the tuna tar tar which reminded me a lot of cowboy caviar with tuna thrown in. I wasn’t a fan of the calamari but I was a big fan of the friendly bartender who was great at mixing wonderful cocktails. We basically tried every cocktail on the menu and even the espresso martini which I don’t believe was on the menu. Definitely returning for a proper meal here.

Food was delicious and the menu was right up my alley, so many good options it was hard to decide. They have the best cocktails with all fresh hand squeezed juices. Staff was friendly and attentive from start to finish. You can’t beat being waterfront on a patio! We sat at a table on the patio but they have an indoor and outdoor bar as well! The vibe was great, prices were very reasonable, can’t wait to come back, hidden gem for sure!Vegetarian options: Tons of Vegan and Vegetarian options and some regular items can be altered to make vegan/vegetarian.

Really great find! Great food and drinks, lovely atmosphere, and just enough off the beaten path that it wasn't too crowded. Will definitely go back again

Great food! They just need to get the orders out quicker. The bar needs a blender. Outdoor dinning is awesome with boats docked on the river. Parking was plenty. I believe they have a handicap ramp for inside but didn't see access to the outside dinning around back. Great staff!
