| - I've now been to Nemo Grille three times and have to say it's one of my favorite restaurants, especially found locally. During typical business hours, it's best if you have a reservation - but you can typically squeeze a person or two in at the bar if you hate a wait. I was here on a Saturday, and within an hour of close. It seemed like everyone eating during this time was seated on the patio portion, which in Fall is enclosed and had some heating (it was comfortable and at one point almost a little too warm).
The service was excellent. The waiter was there when we needed him but not sitting there in our face (we recently had a waitress at another restaurant tell us about why service was not so good on the night we dined - and explained another girl called off because of boyfriend problems. My heart goes out to the girl, but hey, we didn't need to know that and we personally hadn't noticed any issues with the service at that place). They were great about refilling water when it was even half empty.
Both my dining companion and I started with the lobster bisque, which I highly recommend. It's also really filling - you have the option of a bowl or a cup (although only one price is listed on the menu). They are great at dining specials - I had rockfish with some amazing potatoes (baked with cheese in a ramekin). My companion had chicken marsala and left nothing on their plate. While we both felt pretty full, our waiter politely mentioned dessert (and wasn't pushy). When requested, he brought over a tray that showed the desserts and we opted to share the creme brulee. not the best ever, but pretty good! Worth the price, and to be fair, probably the best creme brule I've had, aside from the one made by my friend Erin. They also serve really fantastic bread, which goes with whipped garlic butter (not enough garlic for me, but I like enough to blow a house down). I could easily make a meal out of bread and bisque there.
It's not the most expensive place in town, but it sure isn't cheap. With a bottle of wine, 2 bisques, 2 entrees, and one dessert the bill was around $120. You could easily spend less or even split a meal. I also enjoy that while it's nicer food, you don't feel pressure to dress up. My dining companion and I were on our way to a birthday party and felt comfortable in jeans and a sweater. Although we were the last people (or two of the last?) to leave, we didn't feel rushed or like we were the jerks keeping the place open.
