   Good food and great energy and music in the bar. The crowd progresses throughout the evening from an older crowd to a younger clubbing crowd as it got past 10pm.

   The place was clean and inviting. The staff friendly and efficient. However, the veal marsala was tasteless and the spaghetti which accompanied it was watery and overcooked. My wife had the chicken parmesan which she said was not the best she's ever had.

   Horrible! We absolutely love Cassidy and her detail to service but Doddi the owner is horrendous. Our group spent over $700 and Dodi rudely asked our group to leave to make room for a party of 20 that didn’t exist. We will never go there again. So sorry as Cassidy is fabulous and I hope a classier restaurant like Mastro’s or Vicky’s will scoop her up.

   My wife and I were celebrating her Birthday and took advantage of the Early Bird Specials. As we are both athletically inclined, we are very early risers so a 4:30 pm reservation was perfect for us and we basically had the place to ourselves. This was our first time at the Nest and everything about the restaurant was fantastic! Looking forward to our next visit.

    Had a nice booth. Ordered the Chef’s Special- Parmesan crusted sole with penne pasta. Delicious. Hubby had the salmon. Nice big piece cooked perfectly. Wish we could have stayed & watched everyone dancing but the bar area was packed! (on a Wednesday night).

    Dinner was amazing! Excellent choices and quite tasty! We were celebrating a birthday and the table acknowledged the birthday - a nice surprise! Laurie was our server and did an amazing job and was very nice! We danced for about an hour afterwards - the band was very good and a fun time to be had for all on the dance floor. Thanks!

    The Nest is the diamond in our desert full of lovely restaurants. Rated in the top 100 restaurants in this country, The Nest is a dining experience I crave to repeat. We have eaten there many times over the years and are still so pleased to make future reservation. The Schnitzel, the Veal Scallapini, just out of this world. The only 5 star restaurant in our valley that includes a salad & fresh steamed vegetables with each meal. Any 2 adults can enjoy 2 fabulous dinners for $100. The service is a ten also. The best!!!

    While the food was above average, your main reason for going to The Nest is to attend the party! Been going there since the mid-eighties. It’s been completely revamped but hasn’t lost it fun edge. We had an assortment of dishes for our party of eight. Most were more than happy with their choices, none gave their meal less than an average as a comment.

    We came to The Nest to enjoy dinner and then stay for the music. Our food was disappointing. Nothing was very flavorful and the portions were quite small. I started with the beet salad. Hardly any beets to speak of. It was mostly spinach. Second was the chicken marsala. Very bland and a small portion. My husband started with the wedge salad. He enjoyed his salad very much. For his entrée, he order the Dodi pasta. Again, very bland and a small portion. Our server was good though. She checked in on us frequently and assisted us with our dinner selections. The entertainment here is why we would go back. Great people watching and good danceable music. Bottomline: Skip the food and come for the music!

    Excellent service with Cassidy. Hopefully Mastro’s, Eddie V’s or Vicky’s will scoop her up in a management position. Dodi, the owner is extremely rude. Our group spent over $700 only to try to rush us out to a non existent group of 20. We will never go to the Nest again. They are not supportive of their local community and take advantage of the tourist. We have enough fabulous restaurants in the desert to support. A big ZERO to the Nest. Try Il Corso, Mastro’s, Eddie V’s , Vicky’s for great restaurants who are happy to service you with great food and ambiance. Just say NO to the nest and their rudeness,

    This was our first visit to The Nest. We made it just in time for the price fix menu and it was a great value for a delicious meal. Francis was our waitperson and was very attentive. The Nest provides a combination of people watching, sports on TV and live music filtering in from the bar, yet you still can have a conversation with your dining mates. We will return!

    Excellent as always. Best deal in town---early bird at $25.95---3 course. Relatives from Montana and Oregon...were they impressed. Server Allison...jus the best..I am sure she is one of your best servers...personality,, extremely friendly and efficient...Did not miss a mark and read us perfectly on our time in-between courses. Chicken parm, Doddies pasta, pork chop--(superb and apple sauce is delicious,) 2 Pasta with sole and an eggplant parm. all 10 plus! Great Caesars and wedge. Great dinner rolls...best in town too.. Desert choice on early bird is limited. Hey Doodie and Kevin... maybe a new choice or add a dollop of whip cream and a strawberry or berry or some chocolate sauce to the ice cream choice. Just a suggestion to impress your guests . Flan is always good...last night with a blue berry compote. We eat at the Nest more than any other place in the desert. Probably twice a month... Place was packed and great dinner club atmosphere...

    We always try to go to The Nest whenever we are in the desert. It never disappoints. The food, service and ambiance are fabulous. I always have the stuffed cabbage rolls, which are by far the best I have ever had. They are handmade by the owner's Mother. Our friends loved their entrees also. It's also an old school traditional place where you get a salad or soup included with the main course. I haven't had a dessert there, only because the entrees are always ample and I never have room.

    The early bird special for dinner was really of good value. Unfortunately, the food was not good. We liked the wedge salad and the soup but the entree fell short. The cajun pork chop was dry and no cajun spice at all. The eggplant parmigiana with pasta tasted like it came out from a can. The only decent entree was the cabbage roll. The pana cotta was totally tasteless. Service was good tho Maybe next time we will just come for happy hours and skip the food.
