Baker Street Grill - Nelson

Was here in their private room for a dinner in December 2016. The room was off to the side and private which was good. Only issue there is the heat was either completely cranked or the air conditioning was completely cranked. The waitress was friendly but definitely seemed a bit frantic with our group size (there was about 14 of us).Nelson is known for it's alternative food scene and all of their restaurants typically have stuff for the vegan, vegetarian, GF, celiac, can't eat eggs today cause it's a Tuesday type place. In other words, they're VERY flexible. I ordered a Thai curry and was promised that it was GF. First, not only was I up all night with massive cramping along with other nasty bodily side effects, but it was just plain awful. No seasoning to speak of an definitely no spice; they had an entire salad worth of shredded green onions on the top, giant pieces of undercooked carrots, etc. I will never eat here again.

Visited for a working lunch & the service was great, very accommodating for special dietary requests. While my colleagues burger looked pretty good my salmon salad didn't quite measure up. The mixed green salad was fresh but the wild BC salmon was small, dry & lacked flavour. For that, it was overpriced. Rest of the menu was standard fare, and carried the pricing premiums typical of a hotel restaurant. Nice place, nice people & I will go back to try the breakfast but would probably go elsewhere for lunch & dinner.

Had Breakfast here, wasn't very busy so got a seat right away. Couldn't believe no kids options offered on the menu.Had Belgian waffle, seemed to be on the small side. Kids ended up having to share a larger breakfast sampler.They charge $2 extra for Maple Syrup???Our waitress seemed like she was preoccupied and we were a bother, she didn't seem that busy so who knows.Food was okay but not great, didn't feel very welcome so our 2nd morning had a much better breakfast on Front Street.

Staff were very nice and full of local advise. Healthy prepared food. Eggs Benny was awesome! Highly recommend.

I enjoyed my dinner at the grill and especially appeciated their attention to the allergy that I mentioned, substituting a great salad for the side
