Dodi is a legend in the restaurant industry and puts on a phenomenal experience from excellent dinner to dancing to either a live band with the classics or a DJ with the latest club hits. You can never go wrong spending a night at the Nest.

This was our third year to dine at The Nest for Thanksgiving, it will be our last. The food was delicious, but service was not. Asking three times for rolls, three times for ice tea refills. A three corse dinner took over 1.5 hours. I watched as tables sat after us received very prompt service. A lot of confusion over where we were even being sat. We had reservation for five, but was only four. This seemed to be an issue, and they still sat us at a table for five. We were in the small room that leads to the patio, when we got in there a large party of 15 were in there, after they left the hosts started trying to seat people in there, a host snapped at a buser and told the guest he was not doing his job and getting the table ready, you don’t say things like that to guests. When we were sat, after the confusion the hosts said to us, we’ve had a long day…it was 5:45. And finally my chocolate cake was frozen in the middle. I gave it back to the server and said it’s frozen, she asked if I wanted anything else and I said no. Now a few minutes later a gentleman came out with more cake, I declined, again. For $75 a plate this was not the level of service I expected and to bring a guest that’s never been there after I raved about The Nest. So onward to a new favorite in PS area.

30 minutes passed between appetizers and the main course. “Several large groups ahead of us” was the explanation. No effort made to acknowledge the miss by the kitchen. Would have been a nice gesture to provide dessert or?????

The last 2 times we've been to The Nest the food has been subpar. The fried ravioli was over fried, the pork special was dry, the apple desert was also dry, the brownie was yummy but extremely small. The service was great.

I have always enjoyed all aspect in the past ......this was terrible; a complete 180 degrees.I have worked in the industry for years....this was terrible. We were asked to move from our table to accommodate ( obviously) a friend of theirs. Water was not refilled...martinis /drinks were never asked to be refilled...food was terrible...cost was high. We had to RE- ASK them to fix the incorrect bill.

Went to The Nest with 8 of us for a Birthday dinner. Everything was great! They even went so far to find us a table in the bar for music and dancing after our dinner was over. Greatly appreciated and we all had lots of fun. DJ sings and had a Saxophone Player accompany him. You gotta go at least once for the experience. We always go when we are visiting Palm Springs.

Fantastic night. The band was phenomenal. Our bone in rib eye was cooked to perfection. Belle Glos Clark and telephone was at an amazing price point. One thing that I did not enjoy was the security guard took my glass which came from our bottle when he thought I was going to fall after another patron stepped on my foot. Disappointed that they reacted that way and it wasn’t a glass of wine that I just purchased at the bar. All in all great scene and food is fantastic

Popular place for groups to gather. Wouldn't recommend for a romantic dinner. Quite noisy. Food was good but not great and pricey as well. Best bet is to visit during their earlybird specials. Must give props to the service though. Our wait staff was excellent, bringing our food quickly and checking with us during our meal. Our water glasses we always kept full and didn't have to ask.

We dont eat out ofen, so the Nest is always out choice even before covid and during partial reopening. The nest was our go to for 35 th anniversary! Amy our server and all others were excellent ! We had 3 of us Ahi , Sole piccata, and Veal piccata preparation exceptional! We would however, have liked a different vegetable option the root vegetable offered was not that good and it seems to be there go to ? Maybe roasted Brussel sprouts or Broccolini? I understand the economics of running a restaurant. But for $300 ( one drink each total $70 of that) a better option on sides would have been appreciated. All in all it was a very nice meal.

Biggest complaint is that we reserved a table for 8pm and it wasn’t available to us. And the friends we met up with had been waiting over 40 minutes for theirs. So we combined them. Table was cramped. Food was excellent.

My husband and I enjoyed dining at The Nest. The place has a nice energy about it. The servers are attentive and experienced which makes all the difference when out to dine, as opposed to eating. The food was good, the crab cakes were delicious, my filet was a bit overcooked but not too much. Husband loved his salmon too. I would recommend The Nest and will definitely go back. ❤️

Overall we felt ignored and unimportant. The owner was dining with 3 others at a table next to us. They were clearly the focus. Food was below average, dining room was a confusing mix of design, and waiter missed one appetizer without paying much attention to us. Not to be recommended, maybe just for locals.

Had the early dinner -good until 530. Portions appear to be the same as a “regular” meal. Server was very accommodating. She brought a modified Caesar salad and a reasonable substitute for the chocolate mousse - which for some strange reason they were out of. They were not very busy and the kitchen was surprisingly slow with the entree. But when it arrived it was piping hot. Had the sole piccata - very good.
