    The dinning experience was great with excellent service , however, after dinning we went to the bar and encountered 2 different rude cocktail servers.

    Our first time dining at The Nest and we will be back soon! Pricing around the same as Ruth Chris or Morton's, but the food is better, clearly reflecting the private ownership of The Nest and its primary chef's Croatian origins.

    Dining room and service are lovely and a nice change from the usual bare-bones of so many desert restaurants. Early-bird menu is a terrific value and nothing about it felt less than top-notch.

    Food and service were fantastic. We had appetizers, mains, and dessert. Live music was a plus and the noise level was lively without being too loud. The prices are quite high, but for a special occasion, it is a great experience.
