    My wife and I have dined here before, but this time we brought our 15 and 11 year old sons with us and they loved it. They are very picky eaters, but they loved everything they ate. As for my wife and I, we loved it as usual.

    As always, it is a pleasure to have dinner with friends at Lord Nelson. The waiter was attentive with prompt service. The food as always was of the caliber expected of Lord Nelson.

    Food was very plain, mediocre. $80 for tough filet mignon with side vegetables of mash potaoes, pablum like cauliflower and a few sprigs of rapini. I didn’t even finish it. Waiter was absent, checked in on his once during 2 hours there. Spinach salad was good but it should be for $24. Overall, I do not recommend it and won’t be going back

    Another amazing evening. One of our favorite spots for a special evening. Went for Valentines Day dinner. Don’t change a thing, everything was perfect from front door, service, food, everything. Nothing to improve, just keep doing what you guys are doing. Best Wagyu and oysters Rockefeller ever!
