    We have been to the Lord Nelson before. As usual the food was good. Unfortunately, the server recommended a side dish that did not arrive with our meal, and one loud diner on the other side of the restaurant told us all his life story. And it was not a very interesting story. A couple sitting nearby was also not impressed either. Not our best evening at the Lord Nelson but not much the restaurant could do about it.

    Fabulous food, friendly wait staff, nice atmosphere. Somewhat slow on the service is my only real complaint. Pretty expensive too, although the price matched the size of the entree. If you’re really hungry and not in a rush, Lord Nelson could be perfect for you.

    My favourite restaurant! From the moment you walk in the door the owners are always waiting with a smile and greeting. Best table side ceaser salad. Most of the staff have been there for years. Service and food is top notch! I highly recommend trying the Lord Nelson. They just celebrated 50 years - that says something right there!

    Food was excellent, service was weak as the waiters also double duty making the table side Ceasar Salad so they can be gone for 20 minutes at a time. Wine list is weak given this is a high end steak house, and unfortunately they do not have corkage. Interesting that Bavarian Steak House which has one of the largest wine cellars in North America allows guests to bring 1 bottle. Mark up on the house wine was 5x which is excessive. One of the owners is on site and engaging.

    Lord Nelson continues to be the leader when it comes to a first class dining experience. Patrick, our server and his staff, including Rufy, provide world class service without fail. the kitchen sends out gourmet food that is exactly to your liking every single time. I strongly recommend Lord Nelson's for any occassion but especially if you're looking to impress anyone or be impressed yourself.

    We went to Lord Nelson for my husbands 75th birthday, had the Caesar salad, which was very good. I had the Lord Nelson special….delicious. My husband had the Chilean Sea Bass, he said it was very good. My daughter and husband had the Filet Mignon steak, they said it was also very good, cooked just perfectly. Friendly people and good food and service!
