    Our food was excellent but service was lacking. We were sat on the enclosed patio, and it was almost as if our server forgot about us. We had to ask for refills after cups being empty for extended period of time. Took forever to get food, and there was not communication.

    This was our first time at the Nest Kitchen & Taphouse. We were greeted by a friendly hostess, given our seating options and then taken care of by waitresses and servers who actually acted like they enjoyed their jobs. We sat outdoors on a beautiful evening, and as a bonus, there was live music that night, which made the evening even more memorable. Our sandwiches, which were not overpriced, were served in a timely manner, and the quality was excellent. All in all, we left knowing that this will become a regular place to go when we dine out.

    I’ve been coming here since 2021 & I must say…the service has always been top tier. The servers are always so sweet, patient & knowledgeable. The brunch & drinks are always delicious. I’ve never had an issue with my reservations. The parking is always smooth as well. I enjoy bringing my friends here for a girls brunch or even a business brunch

    Reservation was at 10am and we got water not long after sitting but we noticed 2 other parties came and sat and got their order taken. Our waiter didn’t take our order until 1035 so the others of course got their food before ours even though we sat wayyy before them. Waiter just didn’t pay us too much mind but the food was good that’s it

    The restaurant is nice but it took us over 40 mins to receive our food after placing the order for a table of 3. At that point we lost our appetite. Maybe faster service would help this place but I can't rate my food due to lost of appetite by the time we were served.

    My family and I had a great experience at Nest Kitchen and Taphouse. Our waitress, Christina, was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped pick our meals for dinner. We ended up ordering the Pan Seared Chicken, Braised Short Ribs, and the Cheeseburger. All of us were pleased with our entrees and cleaned our plates. Definitely recommend stopping in for dinner. We will have to try the brunch next time we go!

    The staff was welcoming and explained what the specials were. They gave us time to order so we got things on order enduring the good was the correct temperature while giving time to eat things with enjoyment. We never felt rushed and all the food was delicious. It was a great birthday experience. Thank you to the staff.

    Really like this place but one reoccurring issue. The coffee is never hot! Breakfast is just not complete without a good cup of hot coffee. Each time we have dined for breakfast this has been a issue. Suggest investing in a better coffee brewing machine. Great place and this small fix would be great!
