   Food was terrible. We took one bite and left. The quality of the food for the price we paid was crazy. Nothing tasted good and everything was e trembly over priced. I was so incredibly disappointed I will never go back.

   Fried shrimp and potato was excellent. Veggies were over cooked and mushy. That could be improved. Food was a little overpriced. Ecargot was excellent as well.

    Everything was exceptional from the food to the service. But I do have one thing that can be improved. Parking is very limited and the parking lot is so dark and lighting at a minimum. This is very dangerous. I would recommend the management addressing more lighting for the safety of all.

    Been a while since I had dinner at Crows Nest, but we had always enjoyed ourselves so made a reservation for a birthday celebration. Table was beautifully located and ready when we arrived -- even a bit early. Staff and our server were attentive and very pleasant. That said, the food disappointed. We were prepared to pay Crows Nest somewhat pricey menu options, but our meals were bland tasting and mine was only luke warm when presented. Our mains arrived not 5 minutes after we ordered them, which brings into question whether plates of the popular choices were just sitting in the kitchen. I had the Grouper Key Largo, Seared Grouper with Shrimp, Sea Scallops, Mushrooms, and Citrus Beurre Blanc. The Grouper was somewhat overcooked, underspiced, and relatively tasteless except for the excellent (and plentifully doused) citrus beurre blanc. The sauteed mixed vegetables were also overcooked. My scoop of garlic masked potatoes was excellent, though, and so were the warm dinner rolls. Partner had the crabcakes which he has always liked, and no complaints there, but I tasted and found them-- just ok. His baked potato was good, though... For over $40 per entree, with no salad included, I think Crows Nest needs to step their culinary game back up. I love the setting, and again, the servers, bussers, and hosts were all very pleasant and attentive -- but one does come for the fresh tasting seafood. Disappointed.

    A wonderful ocean front restaurant located in a gorgeous, somewhat secluded area. Parking at the restaurant is tough, but there is beach parking down the road with a shuttle. The food was great overall, and the staff was friendly. Will definitely be back

    Lovely dining spot at the Marina. Have visited several times and never disappointed. Consistently good food in a beautiful setting, regardless if you’re indoors or outside. Though very popular with many patrons, we never felt rushed. Close to historic downtown district.

    The staff took great care to seat us and serve our meals in a courteous and professional manner. The seafood bisque with a side of sherry was delicious. Shrimp and grits were flavorful and perfectly prepared. Buluobaise was very tasty and also well prepared. Portions for both meals were more generous than expected. Took home leftover shrimp and grits to enjoy another day. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

    We took friends to treat them for a meal We have been to the Crows Nest many times, over many years We normally enjoy the food and ambience there and this is why we chose to dine there yesterday evening This time the waitress was very good friendly and attentive However the food slightly disappointing this time and expensive as regards value for money The presentation of the food was extremely poor just looked a mess However It tasted quite nice and this was the seafood open ravioli Presentation of the two other dishes one being grouper and the other a steak we ordered was again not good Poor presentation ! All in all we had four entrees and one bottle of wine and a beer and it cost around $240 Not good value when it was so poorly presented! Crows Nest you Need to do better if we ever return after being a good customer for many years! Disappointing overall!

    The restaurant was crowed when we first arrived for our 8:15pm reservation but the noise level was not an issue. I was very satisfied with my meal. The waiter brought bread and crackers with hummus, butter and olive oil for dipping. I had the seafood bisque as an appetizer, which was very good but there is no added seafood. The waiter brings a shot of sherry on the side so you can add it as desired. For my entree, I had the walnut encrusted salmon with a teriyaki glaze and ginger aoili. It was moist, perfectly cooked and delicious. It came with two sides and I opted for the garlic chive mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The potatoes were delicious and the coleslaw good but not great, but I tend to like it slightly sweeter. There are no reservations beyond 8:30pm Sunday - Thursday so we were one of only 3 tables still occupied as we finished our meal. Not surprising for the Gulf Coast of Florida as diners tend to eat somewhat earlier here. BTW - they have nice wine list with plenty of options, just don't expect anything amazing.

    My grouper was served on a cold bun and the bun was hard. The lettuce was chopped which, I felt looked more like a salad instead of leaves for a sandwich. The sweet potatoes were very good but for a $23.00 sandwich, the presentation and taste were very lack luster. The waiter repeatedly asked my sister-in-law if we were done and we still had a half of our food still on the plate. We were celebrating a birthday, so of course I chose this restaurant for the ambiance and supposedly great reviews. I finally asked him if he needed us to leave. He got the hint that we were not in rush. I also told him of the birthday and then without asking brought out key lime pie and charged my check. We skied for coffee and he never returned to see if we needed refills, nor did he bring any sweetener. Instead he returned with the check, i guess he really needed the table. There wasn’t a wait since it was around 1:30 in the afternoon. Just know they were out of the 2 dinners that wanted, and the majority of the menu was either fried or comfort food. I won’t be going back!

    I have been going to the Crow's Nest since I moved to this area 20+ years ago. It remains one of my favorite restaurants. We were even fortunate enough to be seated at my favorite table with a great view of the water. The food is always good, and the service was excellent with Bejamin as our server.

    Great service, very nice ambiance. They were busy, but we were served promptly and accurately. Server very attentive. Mahi special was delicious. Shrimp and grits tasted a bit vinegary, as if sauce not cooked down long enough. Shrimp slightly overcooked, but tasty. Overall, a nice place and we will continue to eat there regularly.
