We had an AMAZING dinner before finishing the night dancing to great music. My seared ahi was delicious. The wedge salad is yummy. All four people in our party loved their dinners.

We went to the Nest last night. I want to make it very clear from the outset that we really enjoyed the food - it was delicious. I had Dodi’s salad and my husband ordered the Mousaka and the food was so tasty! Our server was lovely and he made us feel so welcomed. However - and this part is our own fault - we didn’t realise the Nest was basically a nightclub. I do appreciate in hindsight that this is on the website so again, that is my mistake. This did mean however that the music was too loud for us to feel in any way able to ‘eat, drink and relax’ (as the website suggests we should do). Personally I do feel the nightclub really should be behind a closed door from the restaurant! The two don’t really go hand in hand if you’re trying to enjoy your dinner. We had booked a table and when we arrived, it wasn’t ready. We are awful at coming to restaurants too early in the hope our table might be ready sooner - but on this occasion, we actually arrived pretty much bang on time. This frustrated us a bit because we had to sit in the loud nightclub part for 20 minutes past the time of our booking before we were seated, despite having a reservation. Anywhere else I’ve been for dinner has a strict policy that reservations mean you have 2h at your table to ensure that there is always something available for the next booking. My husband didn’t receive his side of mash and truthfully, we didn’t even mention to a passing member of staff as to be honest, we just wanted to get out of there with the music banging in our ears as we ate our dinner. The gentleman who served us was so kind and brought us a delicious dessert as a gesture for our anniversary. He was great! Overall, the food and service was good but we wouldn’t recommend this place for anyone looking to have a nice, relaxing evening meal after a long day of travelling - like us. So sorry, it just wasn’t to our taste!

It's our go-to place in the desert. The early finner special is a great value (3 courses.) The sole picatta is really special. They do a great job of honoring your special occasions.

I returned after a 10 year wait. Won’t be back. Lost the classy charm. Too bad. Music way too loud. Love to dance but lost my appetite with sticky rice and too high prices for sub par food and service., If I wanted to feel like I was at Outback I would have gone there to begin with. Hostess in a child’s romper! Really? Florida has more class. Sorry but this is the truth.

They have a nice variety of food to choose from. Some standard fare, plus some unique dishes to try. Very tasty eggplant dish, calamari was fantastic. I have had a few veal dishes which are hard to find in other restaurants. The only suggestion would be to work on the Ceasar salad. Everything else about the place is a win.

My husband and I came here for dinner. The service was great but the food left a lot to be desired in the flavor area. The place was also very loud on a Saturday night because the next room turns into a night club. Definitely was not the romantic experience we were hoping for .

Impeccable and friendly service as always. Who knew you could sit down at a table and have water along with bread and butter served immediately without asking? Then your plate quickly removed after finishing your meal? Wow. It’s like we paid to go out to dinner 😂 Customer service at The Nest is top shelf and hard to find anymore. Looking forward to our next visit!

Noise level continued to get louder then off the chart when we visited the bar area and viewed the entertainment!! Hilarious watching the dancing by single cowgirl, older couples, disco lady and the band was fantastic! Will be back!

We always enjoy the delicious food and great service. Menu has "comfort food" that is not offered at other establishments. We had not been there for a while so was surprised at the increase in prices. I will have to make this a "special" occasion dining spot. The place was very busy and I was happy to see that even with our very hot weather, people are out and about since many of our restaurants are closed for the summer. They do have a very nice Early Bird menu that I may have to try soon.
