- BBrianVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •77 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAnother year. Another anniversary. Another reservation at Nell's. Another fabulous meal. A nice, quiet table for 2 tucked away in the corner. Easy parking, especially for a reservation before 6pm. Attentive, professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff. An excellent wine list featuring a number of half-bottles. And, of course, great food with perfect execution. I opted for the tasting menu: ahi tuna tartare, snap pea risotto, grilled rack of lamb and flourless chocolate cake. My wife chose the hearts of palm and orange salad with fennel, almond, parmesan and champagne vinaigrette (it was an explosion of great flavors and textures) then followed this with the hanger steak (always perfect) and the apple crisp with a glass of Sauternes. Can't wait until the next special occasion!More infoNell'sPrice: Expensive• Regional American (Northwest)• Green Lake•4.7

Establishments in Green Lake can cater to any taste no matter the time. In just one day, you can stop into a cafe for a bombastic English breakfast, take in Thai-style stir-fry for lunch, soak up six French-American courses at dinner, and round off your night with some Mediterranean souvlaki and walnut cake.
