   I ordered the Nest salad. It was so sweet! Had it before but was prepared differently this time. Tons of candied pecans and cranberries, which is fine, but the dressing was way over the top too sweet! For my entree I ordered the half roast chicken with sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. It was delicious. Was disappointed to know that I could not get a glass of Malbec wine. Only sold by the bottle. My husband and brother in law both ordered the pork chop. Was very thick and a bit hard to cut with the steak knives provided.

   Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are glad that you enjoyed the half roast chicken entree – That said, we’re sorry the Nest salad didn’t meet your expectations. It sounds like the sweetness level was a bit overwhelming, and we’ll definitely share your comments with our kitchen team to ensure more balance in the flavors. We also appreciate your note about the wine options. We did sell Malbec by the glass previously but we were wasting bottles because it was so rarely ordered. As for the pork chop, we’re sorry it was challenging to cut – we’ll review this with our team as well. We have not heard any of these concerns before so thank you for bringing them all to our attention. Warmest Regards, Janeen and Bill

   Fabulous meal for myself & family. We had the fillets & blackened grouper & they were outstanding. The Josh Cab was perfectly paired with the delicious fillets. The service was outstanding as well. Don’t miss this gem on the inter coastal with beautiful sunsets !!

   I went with a party of 6. Each of us had a different entree and all reported the food was good/great. I had a Caesar salad which was not great but the short rib with gnocchi was excellent. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Tempo was a bit slow. The dining room is spacious and pretty quiet, making it nice for conversation.

   This was the first time visiting the Nest and will be our last. The setting and ambience is very delightful. The Service was attentive and well trained. The food was sub-par. The fish was over seasoned and not pleasing. It was not finished. Two rack of lamb (4-bone racks each) dinners were ordered both being requested to be cooked at medium rare. When the racks were received noticed right away that one bone was missing on the dish. Pointed out to staff and were told that one fell off during plating. Being a fine dinning front house person for many years and working for 6 years in Nantucket, MA, I made the conclusion that the rack was over cooked. The 4 racks were cut so that there were 2 bones per cut. Each dinner had half the serving of rack of lamb coming out WELL DONE! and the other half was MEDIUM WELL. These racks were over cooked! Instead of recooking these $49 meals they sent them to the table splitting the well done rack onto each plate with the medium well rack on top of it, I am guessing they were hoping we were not going to notice or say anything. As you can imagine the well done rack tasted like mutton =( When asking for it to be corrected the staff helped quickly and the meal came back out with the racks cut into single pieces to speed up the cooking time and the same runny -greasy potatoes came out and asparagus from the previous serving with neither being warm. This meal was not enjoyable and not worth the time or money. The waiter did was he could to compensate the kitchen mistake with cappuccinos (very nice), but no other compensation was offered other than the manager coming over and saying, "I have requested that the kitchen keeps and eye on your meals". What does this mean? Why were their eyes not on it the first time? If I am going to get mediocre food I am going to go to a place that knows their "lane" and charges the correct price for the food. There are much better and affordable options out there. This was a bummer! We had high hopes ~

   Hi Marc, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at The Nest. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our ambiance and service. However, we're truly sorry to hear that your meal did not meet your expectations. I investigated your complaints thoroughly with your server, the chef and our manager and they were all surprised you had written such a poor review. They felt that they had offered your table extra attention and were told at the time that all were satisfied with their meals. Clearly there was a communication breakdown and for that I am sorry. We take your comments seriously. We strive to provide a high-quality dining experience and will continue to do so. Thank you for giving us a try and we wish you the very best.

   We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation and were promptly shown to our table. It was a beautiful view of the St. Lucie River at sundown. The waitress was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. The wine list was diversified and well selected. We ordered the calamari and seared tuna appetizers. They were wonderful. The portions were large. The calamari was very tender and resembled a schnitzel. Could be cut with a fork. For mains we had the ocean scallops and the short rib. Both were special. We were too full to try dessert. Overall this was one of our best dinning experiences on the Treasure Coast. I highly recommend The Nest.

   Dined for the first time on NYE. The dining room was full. The tables were impeccably dressed. Some menu items were not available. The server was attentive, but a bit focused on selling rather than our experience. Overall, a nice dinner with good friends.

    Fantastic New Year Eve. The Caesar salad was outstanding! The filet was the best filet I have had in years & that includes all the high end places in Stuart & Jensen. The service was impeccable. What a gem we have on Hutchinson Island 🥰. My wife had the scallops & they were delicious too 🥰
