Ooooooh! Nelson Blue is great! We’ve come into this New Zealand bar and grill a couple of times for weekend brunch and for Friday evening after work when we’ve wanted to head near South Street Seaport. We have loved every visit. The staff here is so great. This establishment has become a fast favorite for us. Everything on the menu looks like something that will taste delicious. For appetizers, we tried their grilled wings. I think these are now our absolute favorite wings. They’re perfectly sized and grilled and seasoned to perfection and have a bit of a tangy and citrusy flavor. They come with a unique sauce too. Even the staff really loves these. We also tried their lollipop grill chop, which is priced by the piece and cooked to perfection. The final appetizer we tried was the salmon skewer which tasted even more amazing served with their fresh tasting dill mayo. During the weekdays, you must be sure to try the Fried Egg Club served with a salad. I ordered mine without runny eggs, and I loved every bite of that sandwich. Harv had the Grilled NZ Lamb Lollipop Chops. His meal included 5 delicious chops served with a potato and pea cake, and rosemary sauce. He hasn’t stopped talking about it. For the brunch (served weekends only), you must try the Salmon BLT which is served with some amazing bacon! Additionally the Grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich served with arugula, tomato and pickled onions, also comes with a mango chutney that takes this sandwich over the edge! Both of these entrees were served with a salad.
My new favorite drink is their Full Nelson. It’s a combination of Firefly vodka and lemonade. We had ours with a little extra kick. Yeah….it’s a really good drink!
