The Half Nelson

“By far my favorite restaurant in the quad City area. Always excellent food and service. I really appreciate the chef's imagination and creativity that goes into the menu. Not another restaurant like it.”

“This is a high end restaurant that offers a variety of different dishes all made with the utmost care. I started my meal with the crab balls (these where amazing) and went with a dark red wine that paired really well with my main course of steak and potatoes. The steak arrived exactly as I had requested, medium well with a great marbling that added a ton of flavor to the dish. The size of the steak was impressive as well, they rolled out a 32 oz steak that took up the whole plate. All in all I would recommend making this a stop if you are in the area. Thank you for a great meal.”

“Great service and food. The beef ribs were a hit. Absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place. Dessert wqs absolutely delicious”

“I made a reservation at Half Nelson for dinner from out of town, and we were not disappointed one bit! I have dairy, gluten, and peanut allergies and our waiter was incredibly versed in the menu and immediately knew what items the chef could modify. He shared that they are working towards a fully gf menu! I had lots of choices available to choose from. I had the pork collar el pastor and it was the best meal I’ve had in a long time! My boyfriend had the short rib and was raving about it the entire time as well. To top it off, the drinks are also phenomenal. Worth the stop and I would highly recommend!”

“The epitome of fine dining but in a relaxed atmosphere. The employees are all friendly, unique, and down to earth. Our server, Alexis, was professional and attentive without the slightest bit of stuffiness! Better still, the food is incredible. As good as anything from a Michelin rated kitchen, hands down. Make this a must of you are anywhere in the area! My husband had a 32 Hour Braised Short Rib while I had their house made Goat Cheese Agnolotti. Superb!!!”
