My wife and I chose Nelson's for dinner this past weekend while entertaining her parents and mine. Boy did we make the right choice. From the time we came in and sat down to the time we left, we had nothing but a good experience. The oysters were fresh and delicious, the service was well timed and not overbearing, and the most important part, the food, was out of this world. We enjoyed all of this while in one of the most shiek settings you will find in Raleigh. We finished the evening with a round of desserts and each one was better than the next. Now don't get me wrong, you are going to pay for the great food, service and surroundings but it is well worth it and Nelson's really pulls it off. For your next special occasion or celebration, or just for a nice dinner out, pick Nelson's before you think of anywhere else, you won't be sorry. Best dining experience I've had in a while in Raleigh or beyond. My in-laws who were here visiting from PA agreed and they travel and dine out quite a bit. Trust me, check this place out. It is great, start to finish.
Pros: Location, setting, good wait staff
Cons: Expensive if you are on a budget
