Fabulous Dinner – I was in Portland last week for 3 days on business and Cafe Nell by far was the best dinner I had.

Wonderful dinner – We had the most wonderful Thursday night dinner at Cafe Nell. The pan-roasted chicken was exceptional, perfectly crispy on the outside, moist and delicious on the inside, on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. My husband had the lamb shank with pureed parsnips and crispy brussels sprouts leaves which was equally delicious.

Lively & Cozy – A co-worker arranged dinner here for 30+ people, and I have to say that we've had a lot of those as we meet twice a year for our get-togethers, and it's hard to pull off that many people at one time. This place had it all together. Food and wine pairings were excellent. It was a really fun evening and the service was exceptional too.

SUPPORTS WETLANDS CONSERVATION – Cafe Nell contributes $1 from a champagne cocktail made with Oregon cranberry liqueur to the wetlands conservancy. Our cocktails were delicious, sweet, and bubbly, and for a great cause, and the food and ambience are equally good, and the service was stellar.

Good happy hour – I live a couple of blocks from Cafe Nell and have been there for breakfast and happy hour and the $5 breakfast special in the mornings is a really good deal. its usually not very crowded and its cozy. the happy hour is also really good since they have really great happy hour selections for $5 and under and they have even have dessert, a brownie, on their happy hour menu for $2, and since they only ask for a 1 drink minimum, I can have dinner at happy hour for under $10, which is a pretty good deal.

Lovely Dinner Experience – A last minute decision to have dinner out at Cafe Nell turned out to be a wonderful treat. We didn't have reservations, but were seated close to the fireplace. Very warm and friendly. What a lovely dinner experience.

Recommend Cafe Nell – Super cute neighborhood spot in Northwest. Went for lunch today with girlfriends after Pilates. It's a really cute place. The french fries are addictive and super good. I had the turkey burger (YUM) and of course the fries. Highly recommend.

LOVE THIS PLACE – We arrived at Cafe Nell for a Saturday night dinner, Jan 16th. Without reservations. They were packed, but the owner assured us he could squeeze us in. And then brought us (4) all a glass of champagne to enjoy while we waited. It was worth the 15 minute wait. We were seated next to the fire at the communal table. Our waiter Adam could not have been any better. Very knowledgeable about the menu. And not only was the fare fantastic---best lamb I've had---but very reasonably priced. Nice wine selection.
