| - I bordered on 4 or 5 stars here and ultimately made my decision based on a little slower service than I think a 5-star deserves in addition to a slightly cramped atmosphere. This isn't to say the service or atmosphere was poor, but in trying to be critical with what I call 5-star, I feel Nemo Grille fell a little short.
We decided to eat here the Sunday prior to Valentine's Day in order to celebrate early (and because it is challenging to find a sitter on Valentine's Day). We were seated pretty quickly in a room that was dimly lit that contained nine tables. In the room immediately connected was a large party and this is really where my major "issue" lies. Due to the slightly cramped space, noise carries here...a lot. At times it was challenging to have a conversation. Also, as a result of the large party, our server needed to provide additional attention to that table which rubbed me a little bit the wrong way; however I reiterate that this is a critical assessment and not a deal breaker.
Prior to the main course, I had the lobster bisque. Everyone has their own tastes, but I am a huge fan of homemade lobster bisque and feel that Nemo Grille is bordering on one of my favorites. The bisque is a bit creamy with a few visible pieces of lobster, but you can certainly taste it mixed into the cream. If you are a fan, I would certainly recommend trying it.
For dinner I had the duck which came with a raspberry glaze, asparagus, and some garlic mashed potatoes. There isn't a thing on the plate I disliked. The glaze was something that almost kept me from ordering the duck, but at the end of the day I feel like it really brought the dish together by adding the sweetness. The duck was cooked perfectly! If I had to guess, I would say it was done sous vide and then finished when the rest of the plate was ready. If you ever have duck and no pink exists...it was overcooked. This was a nice consistent reddish pink that was warm throughout. Add in the glaze and I almost wanted to buy a second plate to take home.
During the meal we also had a bottle of wine. Being a Sunday, we got the bottle half off. This effectively brought the cost close to what we would spend at the store to buy a bottle and bring it home. Overall I would say Nemo Grille is one of the better quality food restaurants in the area, though at a price point that can make it challenging for some. If compared to some places outside the area, it feels more appropriate at a four star, but bordering on five.
