It's the middle of November and the sunny breeze make this an incredible afternoon for lunch . Dog friendly patio near firepit . Catch the free shuttle (golf cart) at Sea Beans Cafe . It's a quite a walk
The food is always wonderful, and the service is top shelf .! Whale watching while enjoying lobster tacos and a martini .! Highly recommend you check it out! You'll thank me later!
Definitely sit outside. Ask for Ty (Tyhefe). Get a Creamsicle w/a splash of pineapple ; it's awesome. Sweet potato fries w/Sriacha aioli is addicting. Great ahi & beef burgers .
Wonderful place delicious food and drinks. It has great ocean view from the garden
Great place to take the kids!!! Sit outside the staff is awesome and is so accommodating I'll be back
A good place to catch the game and relax after a long conference day. You also cannot top the view at sunset .
Perfect creamy Clam Chowder soup in a bread . The view is exceptionally beautiful for someone that does not live in California.
Glad they ran out if clam chowder and lobster rolls because the crab cake sliders were the bomb. Ask for extra Cajun roumalade sauce.
Amazing views ! The food was good but the location is fantastic.
great view ! be sure to get a table outside by the edge. dog friendly !
If you're craving a lobster roll outside of New England, go to Nelson's. Read more
Food is so/so, but the view will make you weep. Especially when you can see to Catalina. Make sure you come early and sit outside.
Great view . Perfect Socal experience on a warm summer day.
It is always about the view here, not the food or drinks. The cocktails are average at best (and $15 each), but the sunset cannot be beat.
Lobster roll and bier and best view ever!
Nice view , delicious foods, good service .
Sit at the bar at sunset and order The Reef. Cazadores repossdo, lime , cucumber and OJ
Valet park at the hotel entrance and take a shuttle down to Nelson's costs $5 plus a tip for the shuttle driver... beats walking up the hill at the end of the night and then trying to find your car...
I'd go back just for the Pretzel ! Fish tacos and the view are great.
Awesome views and the food is amazing. Try the bavarian pretzels , delicious!
AWESOMENESS!!!!! Gorgeous oceanview of RPV and Catalina. Delicious food. Be sure to request for outside seating :0)
Lobster roll and cucumber margarita are a WIN!
Come to Nelson's and check out the whale spotting bell while you sip on a cucumber margarita .
The views ! The chills, the thrills!
Great view and good food. Cocktails are great.
steamed manila clams , fish tacos , amber ale , and the most stunning view ...
Try the Bavarian Pretzel - Huge and delicious
The Primadonna cocktail is fabulously refreshing. Cheers!
Get a mix of the regular and sweet potato fries with any sandwich
Relaxing place with a great view . Bring your dog and enjoy yourself!
Service is great now. Try the crab cake sliders .
The Saturday summer music is awesome.
The pull pork or fish tacos are excellent! And have a beer 2
Lobster Roll is Great!
Nelson's has a Free Summer Concert series Fri & Sat from 5-9 PM through September 2, 2012!
Good was good but the service was so-so. We sat waiting for a waiter for 30 minutes. And we have even asked for a waitress after 15 minutes.
$5 pints on Wednesday
Probably one of if not the most relaxing place in the world to have lunch !!
All I need to say to you is Loaded Country Style Waffle Fries and a view of the ocean. Possibly Heaven.
Great view , and quality food and service. Take a loved one here for a great casual lunch .
Sucks!!! It's cold outside. The 3 heaters don't help and they're out if clam chowder and lobster rolls . We might as well order dominoes to the room.
Great view , the food is ok.
The cucumber vodka bloody Mary is interesting and great. The pom margarita is delicious too.
Used to enjoy coming here until 30-60 minute waits became the norm - even when there are a ton of empty tables inside and out. Disappointing.
Arrogant Bastard on tap on a cliff; order the giant hot pretzel and sit out by the firepit .
Sit outside by the water and you can see whales breaching right offshore
Food is mediocre, service SUCKS, but it’s a great view .
Home of the $9 giant pretzel
Go to Nelsons and order a burger . The best burger I've had in a long time!
Stone IPA on tap .
