We were out on the town taking in all the wonderful places to eat on Baker Street in Nelson BC. We…read moresettled on Broken Hill. There was outdoor seating that was wonderful for this hot evening, but there is a bit of a wait to get that seating. It is an umbrella covered seating area with a candle on the table, giving a romantic or cozy feeling. The service was nice but busy as expected. The server had a nice approach, but I felt like I was being sold items that the server first said she did t care for, but as I selected the item, she then said it was a great choice and that she liked it. I'm never really interested in the likes or dislikes of the server, but their description of dishes and answers to questions about ingredients or items on a dish on invaluable. I had the spicy fried chicken sandwich with a salad. The chicken breast was perfectly prepared with a nice crunch. It was served on a brioche bun. I had sharp cheddar cheese with the usual burger toppings. I am now appreciating that spicy, according to the palates of European - associated community, is not the same as it would be in some Latin, Thai, or Black/African communities. I love moderate to high heat and spice. What is considered "very spicy and hot", to my palate, was mild and tasty. That being said, it was a tasty burger and the salad was fine. We did not order dessert given how busy it was and we were tired from a long day. I would recommend this place to eat as a bit of an upscale bar food place. I would recommend that the chefs learn how to adjust the heat and spice for those of us believing the menu when it says hot and spicy*** as server for increased heat and spice.

That's fine and our preference anyway. But we seemingly didn't have a sever assigned. The bar is huge and the bartender was always busy at the other end. On this evening, reservations were placed at the far end, by the dish area. Our order was eventually taken by the host. No one ever came to check in or offer a refill of beverages or absolutely anything else. Eventually, haven given up on that second drink, we asked one of the waitresses of we could have our tab. She said she'd "get our server" but then ignored us and no one ever came. The second attempt with a different server was finally success. No one was outright rude to us but the service was not at all hospitable. If you're a 2-3 top to a high top table to have a shot at a proper server.

We ordered drinks and the waitress pressed us to order our appetizers and meal. We ordered our apps and she came back ten minutes later to tell me they were all out of potstickers. I ordered chicken wings. They came out tough to eat and very dry looking. I told the waitress that they were old and dry. She took them back and a few minutes later she came back with the same chicken wings, hotter and covered in sauce( the same wings I suspect). I also ordered chicken avocado wrap, said I wanted it spicy, they soaked it with Franks red hot. Inedible. My buddy ordered beef dip. The beef was so tough and the fries so greasy, he couldn't finish. Not good.

We were brought the wrong drinks at first, then they were out of the wine I had ordered. This is not at fault of the staff, I was offered a different wine on the menu, more expensive and was charged the higher price; they should have honored the original price of the wine I initially ordered. The vibe is unique and different, something I always appreciate. Try the burgers, my husband said it's the best he has ever had.

Nice inviting, cozy, romantic atmosphere. Service was good awful. Nelson has wonderful Bohemian vibes, and among small cities they've got some of the most balanced chakras around. Still, the good vibes seem to inflate the heads of young wait staff, who seem to this old miser a bit aloof in attitude and needing a dose of hustle. You can be friendly and move fast at the same time people. We waited 10 minutes for a greet, 5 for water, another 15 for our order, then a full 25 for the actual food. Whoof.
