We ate at The Half Nelson last night. We truly enjoyed chatting with our waiter Sam. There are a lot of great looking appetizers, but we used self control and ordered entrees and desserts! I had the Barramundi, white fish, and hubby had the pecan crusted chicken. Both were great and filling! The lemon sauce with my fish was super flavorful. The chicken was crispy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside. Desserts.....yes please! Even though we were full, we went there. The creme brule was good. The sugar topping was torched to perfection. Then the cake? Oh my..... it should be called a layered brownie! The chocolate was fudgy and moist. It had salted caramel and vanilla(?) buttercream frosting. Wow, that's rich...and addicting. Surprisingly, we brought half of it home! It was my highlight of the meal. This has been our first time back to Half Nelson since Covid. We made a worthwhile choice and are looking forward to going back and trying the appetizers and desserts as our full meal!

Food is a 10 out of 10, service is a 0 out of 10, Maddie was our server and I would never go back if I knew she was going to be waiting on me, she is absolutely horrible. Don’t waste your time, she needs to go.
