   We visited for the Early Bird price fixe menu. There was a great selection of items and very nice portions. The dinner food was hot when served. The service was friendly and prompt without being intrusive. We got a surprise dessert since we were celebrating an Anniversary. The restaurant filled up quickly after opening (4:30pm) si having the reservation was a good idea. The soup of the day was loaded bake potato and it was excellent as were both the Caesar and Wedge salads. Our group had the regular sole, cabbage rolls and chicken parmesan.... everyone said they'd reorder each dish again. Dessert was included and good, but by this point, hardly necessary.

   This little restaurant is so elegant. I've heard the dancing scene is a blast. This service is full of smiles and you can tell they really care about their customers.

   I’ve been going to the Nest for at least 10 years and this was the first time we’ve had really poor food. I had the stuffed cabbage rolls and a friend had spaghetti squash.

   So disappointed. Been here many times over the years and this time it was bad, really bad. Service mediocre. Food was absolutely a disaster. Ordered the filet which is $73. It was tough, and so dry that I had to send it back. The mashed potatoes were so thick and dry. Tasted like they came from a box. The chicken parm was also dry and very bland. Things we ordered never arrived. Doubt we will ever go back.

   We’ve eaten here several times and this time we were a bit disappointed. I’m not sure if the kitchen staff has changed but the quality was down and the price was up. The sole piccata was not like anything I’ve had before-deep fried with a splash of some weird gravy and no capers served with what looked like breakfast potatoes and some very al dente vegetables. The chicken was even worse but at least the mashed potatoes were ok.

   I don’t know what I was expecting but this was not it. This is like the pickup place for single/divorced/widowed middle-aged people. Weird . Food was ok

   Great venue. White table cloth dining on one side of the venue, casual dining, bar & dance floor on the other. An all-in-one dining and entertainment local hot spot.

    Disappointed & wouldn’t go back for the food. Pork chop was tough, sides mediocre and Cesar salad had lots of unappetizing yellow romaine. I got carrot cake with the early bird special and my friend ordered a regular dessert. We laughed when they were delivered to the table. Mine looked like what you would get at a cafeteria (tasted like it too) and hers was a huge slice of pie. The waiter noticed and commented that the carrot cake was “free.” Uh, no. It came with the special. But I guess that’s the attitude there. Bar looked fun, good music but would not go back for a meal.
