Nelsons is a large 2 story restaurant with good views of the bay - food is well priced for Williamstown which can be a bit pricey but the meal serves are good sizes and its a clean, well managed place that we go to often. Great in winter with the open fires!

The dinners were well priced, and most very big and all very tasty. We enjoyed our servers, both had a good sense of humor. The servers were able to suggest very nice glasses of wine. We ate here both the nights we were in Williamstown. Thank you!

This could easily be one of my favorite restaurants in Williamstown, the staff are lovely, the service is fast, friendly and the food is fabulous! The decor is gorgeous, original art works on the walls that are for sale, a large open fire and plenty of room allowed so you never feel over crowded. The duck risotto is amongst the... More

Publican was entertaining. Duck was lovely. Thursday night a 2 piece band was playing, not too loud, some great covers. Good wine list, but probably a bit expensive compared to other restaurants on the strip.

Have been here a few times now and enjoyed it everytime, so decided to take the extended family. We had a lovely table by the open fire, service is very friendly and professional. We had several different items on menu from steak to chicken and fish. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Love the lemon tart and also the chocolate desert platter

We visited this restaurant on a cold sunny Saturday afternoon in pretty Williamstown. My friend had a lovely home-made fried gnocchi with roast pumpkin, sage and hazelnut with fresh Parmesan. I had a lunchtime special of fish and chips with a glass of wine for $15. Both meals were very good and the service was unobtrusive but there when needed.... More

I have been to this restaurant a couple of times in a few weeks because I enjoyed it so much. The only thing I found was it was a bit noisy because of the wooden floor boards & there was a lot of patrons talking. The food is amazing & average in price. Would recommend going to this restaurant if... More

This is the second time we've dined at Nelson's so thought it time to review it. The menu has a good selection of seafood, pasta, steaks, and other fine food. This is important to me as I have a seafood allergy. Too many times I'm unable to enjoy an entree as seafood is the only option. Not so here! The... More
