Wonderful experience!! Our waitress Jean (i'm not sure if I spelled that write I apologize) was wonderful, as well as the rest of the staff we interacted with. I have severe food allergies & she was very willing to be accommodating & made sure to clarify as much as necessary, asking me questions to make sure every ingredient was safe for me to eat, & even modifying the pizza I ordered to confirm further it's safe. It's always amazing to experience a staff so willing to accommodate my dietary restrictions & make sure I have a wonderful experience. & I'd be remised not to mentioned how absolutely beautiful the restaurant is.

We had a beautiful family dinner this past Sunday during our quick trip from the Boston area. Our waitress Mariebier was fabulous! The place was packed but she still spent so much time with us, making sure our drinks & meals were satisfying. She was so fun to converse with as well. Thank you for making us feel right at home!

Cet un endroit qu'il ne faut pas manquer. La cuisine est délicieuse. La musique toujours excellente! Il est difficile de trouver de la musique live de qualité à 2h de l'après-midi, tout les jours! Les Jardins Nelson c'est du bon temps garantie, même lorsqu'il y a une queue, on attends très peu! J'adore simplement cet endroit.

LES FROMAGES! I SPENT TWENTY TWO FULL DOLLARS ON 6 SLICES OF CHEESE. & each slice was so small. Thats like 4 dollars per slice of cheese, thats half a bubble tea for a bite of cheese. How is this even legal. This made my evening so sad, im just sad now. Maybe im not a cheese expert, but cheeses from the grocery store a fraction of the cost tasted similar. Dollar to taste ratio is just atrocious here for cheese. I was expecting a lot more cheese with 22 dollars, thats 6 mcdoubles. & look at the first picture posted, the size of that cheese, the saddness it emits, the tears it causes.
The diva crepe was okay though.

It's a restaurant with a great atmosphere, live jazz music, & affordable prices. However, the cocktails were not of the best quality-they were very sweet & lacked flavor.

I was enticed to go here because of the garden terrace & jazz music, but it ends there. To start the strawberry basil drink is more like cool aid than a drink. Sickeningly sweet. After receiving, I wanted to leave but we already ordered. My friend was also disgusted. I went to the hostess to say we wanted to leave & felt bad because we ordered. The waitress said we'd have to pay for bill before leaving. I was starving & stayed but I shouldn't have. The food was just as bad. I got the Mexican crepe. It was more like a quesadilla with chicken slope throw on it. It wasn't a crepe but a tortilla. My friend received a hamburger that was worse than Mcdonslds. While the garden was beautiful. That's where it ends. Do not fall into the tourist trap. 🤨
