   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 🥰

   Very good for a first experience ! Very nice welcome in a freshly renovated restaurant. Very nice setting. Good was delicious - too copious for me. My husband had a great burrata-tomato salad, great sauce, then an excellent half glazed duck. I was expecting a baked Brie but it as not anymore on the menu. I had scallops beurre blanc on an asparagus’ risotto. It was too much for me. 4 scallops beurre blanc ( excellent) would have been enough. Jacques had a delicious raisin pudding as a dessert. I had a split champagne monopole $22 when it is $15 in Stuart and my husband had a great glass of Pinot noir ( Pull Hobs). Too bad I could not past the 3 photos I took.

   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 NestResponded on December 28, 2024

   Hi Christina, Yes, We are located at a country club. We personally like the incredible view and to be honest, we are quite proud of the complete remodel making it a warm and inviting atmosphere. We are sorry that you did not like it. Maybe you didn't see it before? We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the lobster bisque. Bisque is a labor intensive soup and it was a large bowl not a cup. Lobster is a quite expensive product these days. We strive to provide a memorable dining experience for all our guests and we're sorry if the host was too chatty. We train them to be friendly and it's not usually a problem, but I will have a talk with them to assure they refrain from TMI. We'll certainly take your comments into consideration for future improvements. Best regards, Janeen and Bill

   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.

   We had a party of six in Christmas Day & the food, service & atmosphere was excellent. We really appreciated them being open on Christmas Day. 🥰

   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’
   

   The NestResponded on December 28, 2024

   You chose one of the busiest days of the year to visit us. We were booking reservations MONTHS ago. We do not have ANY tables behind the kitchen. The table you had is one of 2 cozy tables along a wall with beautiful views of the 9th hole. Often REQUESTED by couples. We are always happy to relocate a customer to a preferred table but Christmas Day we were booked solid and moving tables was not an option. You insult us with your comment "our food being like Denny's and prices from the Ritz". You have obviously never been to the Ritz Carlton because our prices aren't anywhere near their prices. I won't even dignify the Denny's comment with a response. We served over 200 (198) happy guests that day. I hope you find your happy place. It clearly will not be at The Nest. The Manager
