Me and my daughter went for the first time. The food was delicious and the service was great. Cute little dinner with a great atmosphere.
This morning I had the wonderful pleasure of sitting down at Nellie's. The atmosphere of the restaurant is good, very old fashioned diner-y. Solid. Service was good, too. A server once asked me without prompt to refill my coffee. Solid. The breakfast was nice, this is the Nellie's Hash. A healthy amount of veggies, hashbrowns, two eggs (soft), some slices of fruit, and some sourdough toast. Solid. Value? $22.52. Keep in mind, I ordered coffee with mine. Pretty solid. Feedback: This did not feel very 'mountainy' like your menu described. More like a hill. But a pleasant hill, perhaps with a nice tree you might lean up against and admire the sunrise to. Tldr, good food, atmosphere, and service. Maybe adjust the menu description of the item I highlighted, but altogether a pleasant meal
