This neighborhood eatery may resemble an airy French bistro (think mirrored walls and personal ice buckets), but its menu, featuring classic comfort food in the form of braised lamb shank or Cascade Natural New York strip steak (with blue cheese butter or a red wine demi-glace) and hand-cut fries, suggests more of a continental hybrid. With most entrées under $20, Café Nell offers casual dining without sacrificing refined details like cloth napkins and wine by the glass served in personal carafes.
