    We visited for the first time after being gifted a voucher. Upon arrival it was warm, welcoming and staff were quick to seat us. The first part of the restaurant looked lovely and had nice ambience., however we were seated through the back where it was extremely bright and squeezed into a corner table for 2. The side benches were higher than the table which was rather uncomfortable and not very relaxing. It was busy so took 15 minutes to get our drinks order taken. The food was quick enough and nicely presented with average taste. There were no condiments on the table or offered, so we had to request salt n pepper as did every other table round us. The salt came out in a little dish to pinch by hand. I thought that was odd. Our bottle of wine was served in water and ice but the wine wasn't chilled, so not ideal. Our main was Rib-eye Steak, cooked very nicely but could have been better seasoned. The side salad was delicious and overall we were pleased with the food. Staff were lovely & polite.

    My wife and I were extremely surprised to find such a welcoming and high standard restaurant as a last minute booking, The Filet Mignon was exquisite and the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful on a busy evening. Very grateful to find such a gem and will definitely be booking again, soon

    The Nest served us delicious food at a very affordable price. Service was great. We could take the whole family - the baby in pram and a dog. We will be back.

    Wasn't busy when we went as horrible weather but great service, nice quiet atmosphere as wasn't busy which we enjoyed and good food choice which was very tasty. Only negative was plates were cold which meant food could have been hotter but this is only minor issue. Would definitely go back.

    We visited on 11 January for lunch and spent the afternoon. From the start the staff were welcoming, friendly, efficient and checked in on us without being overbearing. The waiting staff on shift that day are a credit to the company. The food was delicious and the restaurant was comfortable, beautifully decorated and warm. The music was a little loud where we sat but was turned down when we asked. The only thing that lets the place down are the toilets which are very cold. One toilet was out of order and the other barely locked and although it has a sink in it, you have to come out into the main room to dry your hands. However, this did not detract from what was a great afternoon catching up with a friend with no rush to move on by the staff. Looking forward to visiting again.
