    It was our 2nd visit to the Nest. First experience, we ate in the bar - food and service were excellent. Fast forward 45 days and while the waitstaff was courteous, attentive and the food was very good. We had been enjoying our meal for just about 2 hours and during that time our party of 4 ordered multiple drinks from the bar, appetizers, and main courses. This restaurant does not have a 90min table policy posted nor was one communicated (as an aside). Our desert had not hit the table for 30 seconds when a dark haired woman approached our party and asked us to move to a “smaller” table ( we were at a 4 top already). She offered to comp our desert if we moved because this was one of their larger tables (it is not). I politely declined her offer and chose to finish our meal and pay for my desert. I thanked her, we completed our meal and then left. TDLR: don’t rush your customers out of your establishment just to turn the table.

    we are locals who have recently embraced The Nest. The dining room is elegant, the selection of offerings is generous, the food is outstanding and the service is excellent. I have come to enjoy the Early Bird Special. Interesting selection of dinners offered at a most reasonable price. I recommend you go there and find out for yourself what my wife and i have experienced each time we visit it.

    We went on a Monday night for the early bird dinner. The restaurant was slow and there was only one other table occupied. The service was good and the food overall was good. They were out of mashed potatoes which was the main accomplishment of what came with my pork chop. When I asked for pasta as a substitute, I was charged extra for it which I thought was wrong. Also, I selected carrot cake for dessert and when then dessert arrived, one’s brought a piece of cake that was baked by the bartender as they apparently were out of carrotcake. The service was good and the staff was friendly but the restaurant seemed to know that Monday was going to be slow so they did not need to restock.

    We love to sit in the bar area and enjoy a dinner for two or four. The live music is always the best and our waitress made our experience fun. The atmosphere is friendly, comfortable and fun.

    Always enjoy going and would go more often but the pricing of entrees is a bit over priced . Will continue to go on special occasions.

    Food was very disappointing. Apps were soggy. Eggplant was hard and sauce tasted like pure sugar.
