Nautical Nellies Steak & Seafood House, Victoria BC

Four utensils up!!!! This place is great!  Love stopping in when on the island :) 

I had the scrumtrulescent crab cakes and my daughter had fantastic halibut fish n chips with homemade broccoli coleslaw.

They totally knocked the crab cakes out of the park....so drooly!!

The service was really great, we went mid afternoon so had the place almost to ourselves...the aromas from the kitchen were so BC good it was a delight just being there!

Others have said this place isn't all its cracked up to be but I disagree, in the decade Ive been going they have managed to stay relevant and up to date in their menu.

Often the classic places like this stalemate and become good but boring (click to see Cardero's review). Nellies on the other hand keeps it fresh tasty and true to the Beautiful seafood us BCers are spoiled to access.

4 utensils all the way up...very nearly perfect :)

Ok the food doesn't  photograph well but it was awesome!!! 

The vegetarian option however was a bit of a heart attack as you can see...we called it Mt Help us!  On a positive note though I was able to take the leftovers with me on my birthday getaway to a cabin in Harrison Lake ...they lasted me for breakfast lunch and dinner the whole next day lol :)

Service awesome...worth the 20 minute wait to get seated...a Vancouver tradition totally must do!

A must is the Retsina, a traditional Greek wine flavored with pine resin and its to die for ...light and flavorful even those at my party who don't like wine loved it...I actually ended up wearing it when someone knocked the table..:D 

Some of the  above do include meat as my guests were carnivorous ;)

4 utensils up...almost perfect but not quite but oh so close :)
