    It was a typical country club setting, which I am not a fan of. Our waiter was great, however, the host team wanted to tell me that they are triple booked, etc. I honestly don’t want them to tell me the restaurants problems (we had a reservation). The food was high quality, I prefer my steak seared with a bit of a crust. It was not exceptional or craveable. The lobster bisque, although pricey, had beautiful lobster in it, and was worth the price. Again we would have liked a bit more cognac in it.

    The food was amazing. This was our first time here. It’s a little bit pricey, but it’s great for a special occasion. We came here for Christmas because we wanted some place special and it was really nice because there was a piano player throughout the whole time we were there. Service was great. I had short ribs. My son had filet mignon and my husband had Osco Busco. Everything was amazing. We highly recommend this place.

    Our reservation was made 4 weeks prior to assure we would get a window table. Instead we we shoveled into an awful location behind the kitchen. An immediate complaint to the manager yielded no change. Fortunately our server was extraordinary and made the meal experience pleasant. The food was about what you would expect from Dennys with prices from the Ritz. I should have walked out when I experienced their lack of customer care. We will not be back and we so informed the manager whose mantra was ‘there is nothing I can do’

    This is a beautiful restaurant with some of the best servers in the area. Recent menu options are being well received and, we're told, more are on the way. Quie, elegant atmosphere is perfect for a special evening or a casual great meal.

    Hoping we would like The Nest since we always liked Pietros, the previous restaurant. However, their menu was limited and the first items that we ordered, they were out of. Seemed strange since there were only 2 other tables occupied. The place was practically deserted. The first two bottles of Proseco were flat. Our waiter was very good...I'm sure he would do well elsewhere. This will not be a place that we will return to unfortunately. The food was okay but seemed very salty. High price for mediocre dining experience.
    The NestResponded on December 14, 2024
    Hi Jill, We're really sorry to hear about your experience at The Nest. We're usually known for our great food and service, and it's disappointing to hear that we didn't meet those standards during your visit. We appreciate your feedback about the limited menu and the food's saltiness, and we're sorry that we disappointed you. This was definitely an off night and we knew it. We'll certainly take your comments into account as we strive to improve our offerings and service. We hope you might reconsider and give us another chance in the future. Best, The Nest

    This was our first time dining here since the new owners took over. We arrived early enough to appreciate a glorious sunset. The drinks and the food were delicious. Mary, our server, was a delight. Their new chef came out to meet us and spoke of his future vision with passion. We had a lovely evening and will certainly be returning.
