After searching for a nice place to dine with my parents, I stumbled upon Nellie's. Of course I had heard of the restaurant but it did not immediately come to mind as my family and I do not live in Belmont.
However, this was definitely worth the short drive. We started with the pecan crusted green tomatoes...they were an absolute hit with everyone at the table. Perfectly crispy and not at all greasy.
Dinner was also delicious. Among our orders were the chicken and dumplins, salads and lots of sides. Everything was delicious.
I cannot recall the name of the featured cocktail, it consisted of blackberry, lime and Charlotte-made whiskey. Consistent with the rest of the experience, the cocktail was also delicious!
Most of all, we enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurant was very clean and the decor superb. The band played an array of songs that were all crowd pleasers. Not too loud but just right. We loved the staff joining the band for different songs throughout the night also- what a fun touch!
What a great place to celebrate Mom's birthday...We cannot wait to go back!
