The Half Nelson - Davenport

The Half Nelson provides an extraordinary experience! From the classy atmosphere to the genuinely superb staff, this place elevates downtown and creates an incredible dining experience. Highly recommend to locals and travelers alike. The food is to die for and the attention to detail cannot be beat! A Quad City favorite of mine and soon to be yours!

Delicious . We went there last night to celebrate our 8 year anniversary. Oh yum. The drinks were one point, appetizers were amazing and our entries were just as good. We had clean plates. Oh yeah we had dessert as well and that was awesome! We will definitely returning. No wonder this place is ranked #1 in dport. Atmosphere was very nice and quiet. The host was very nice and our waiter was very polite and helpful. Appetizers: Carne Asada Flatbread and Arancini de Riso. Entries: Filet Mignon and Pork Madirea Dessert: Lemon Blueberry layered cake and Creme brulee.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant! I had the best scallop capellini ever! The Crab Binet as the appetizer is a must! Our waitress was friendly and helpful and the wait was short!

Whenever someone is visiting from out of town I always recommend Half Nelson. I've never had food that compares! You can tell everyone on the staff team cares about the service and quality of the food and drinks. The atmosphere inside is incredibly interesting and there's nothing like this in the QC. Eating outside on the patio is one of my favorite Summer time activities. Getting food to go is also 10/10 as it's fast and the quality is the same as dining in.

The good food in this restaurant and bar is quite diminished by the extremely poor acoustics. It is not a restaurant to consider if you want to have a conversation with 4 table partners. The garlic salad is the best in the area served in a chilled bowl with crispy greens. The flat bread and risotto is a nice offering. Simply, 1/2 Nelson needs large area rugs on all hard floors and some wall and ceiling acoustical treatments. This place is a big echo chamber. We will return some time during the week only and our return will be early like 4:30 pm when just opened.
