This is a lovely bar with an amazing and involved owner. The decor is New Zealander, the food is delicious and fresh, and I just ate a mussel nearly the size of my hand. It's a must go for a little culture, and watch some rugby while you are there!

This place is such a joke.

Go for a splitting headache, not a dinner! – My husband and I have been to this restaurant several times as we live in the neighborhood and eat out often. Last night we had a client in town who expressed an interest in fresh, simple food on the healthy side, so we took her to Nelson Blue. The music was so loud that we had no idea what the server was saying, much less what we were saying to each other. While the music has always been loud here, last nights' was incredibly overboard. There was only 1 waitress for the entire pl... read more

Excellent food but noisy – We wanted to try this place as we visited New Zealand recently and loved the country. We had a group of three without a reservation (they don't take them). We were lucky to get a table as they have very few. It's basically a bar with a kitchen. The kitchen does a great job, though. The lamb chops were superb and a generous portion (5). My wife had the venison and it was excellent as well. The third person had the scallops; likewise, excellent. We washed it down with a great NZ sauvignon blanc. The ... read more

Yummy!! I don't often go out to lunch, but on the rare occasions that I do, I like going to Blue Nelson. They serve funky New Zealand food in a slick atmosphere (the music is a little loud for my ears). Service is impeccable, and their desserts are to die for!

Nelson Blue - A Crossover Bar/Restaurant, With A Smoking Hot Staff – Nelson Blue is what I like to refer to as a crossover vehicle. Like an Infinity FX45, its sporty, fast, hot and sleek, yet comfortable, smooth and dependable. By day, it's a can't miss Wall Street lunch spot. After work, slick (albeit currently humbled and much quieter) Wall Streeters schmooz clients while local hipsters and sophisticates alike enjoy the best Kiwi Panty Removers (a must try!) this side of Nelson, New Zealand in a relaxed, feel good ambience... read more

Vanessa is a fox!! – I had some friends invite me to nelson blue a couple weeks ago. I didn't know why they wanted me to go all the way down to the sea port but after i got there i got the picture! Hotties hotties hotties everywhere! Everyone that works there is smokin! The owner vanessa had the best smile and laugh and made our group really feel at home! Of course i wouldn't want to say anything to her face but in a sort of missed connections way i have a crush on you vanessa! xo

Great downtown lunch spot. Friendly, comfortable, handsome restaurant, different menu. – Have only been for lunch so no comment on those reviewers who have had different experiences at different meals, (I suppose a nightime werewolf like transformation is possible), but lunch is much better than average. Given the relative paucity of nice restaurants downtown (aside for touristy, or conventional italian or sushi) this should be in everyone's client repetoire. Nice fish dishes and welcome NZ flavor to the pies and lamb chops.... read more
