New At Nelson's

Nelson's, at the Terrenea resort,  has become a great "special treat" place for us.  (terrenea.com)  As I've said, the food is good, the scenery spectacular and the staff is efficient and amiable. 

New on the menu are sweet potato croquettes with a sririch aoli (four -  $8.)  Ours were slightly larger than golf balls sitting on a plate decorated in a squiggle with the aoli.  They're perfect with a drink as you peruse the menu.




The only place the "onion tumbleweeds" are listed is as a side to the pulled pork with cole slaw sandwich.  Sandwiches at Nelson's come with a choice of fries, cole slaw, small salad or fruit, but I imagine you can order the tumbleweeds as a side as well.  Our server said that normally they come - a scattering - on the sandwich itself,  along with the coleslaw - this is Memphis-style barbecue where all of these ingredients are on the bread.
