    This was our first time dining here since the new owners took over. We arrived early enough to appreciate a glorious sunset. The drinks and the food were delicious. Mary, our server, was a delight. Their new chef came out to meet us and spoke of his future vision with passion. We had a lovely evening and will certainly be returning.

    My first time here. Was very surprised, and pleasantly so, that there was a live piano player. Chairs are comfortable and tables set nice. Staff is incredible; well trained and polite. Dining at night you have no view as the glass reflects the interior and the beach is dark. I had the prime rib. Was asked how I wanted it but the steak was cooked as a whole prime so medium was the minimum. I ordered because I thought they weee cooking individual steaks so I could get rare but alias, not possible. Steak was a little dry and the au jus was too tangy but both worked well enough together. Mashed potatoes were fabulous and the greens were fine. Wine was wonderful.

    Our first time at The Nest was outstanding. Our long time friends joined us on a rainy, gloomy evening. On entering the updated dining & bar area, a bright inviting atmosphere, we met at the bar & had a round of cocktails, well prepared by the bartender. We all started with salads, well executed, crisp, fresh Caesar & wedge .... main course entrees included: NY Strip (juicy, flavorful, cooked just right - medium rare); Lamb Lollipops, seared scallops & a special -Wahoo dressed with watercress & chimichurri sauce - fantastic!! All 4 of us enjoyed the fresh vegetables which accompanied our entrees and the nice wine selection as we all like different types. We split a slice coconut creme cake...... a great dining experience!!!

    We enjoyed our dining experience very much, beautiful view of the sunset! 3 of us ordered the prefix menu (included salad entree and dessert) 1 ordered off the main menu black grouper, (came with mashed potatoes and julienne vegetables). All were delicious and served as ordered. They also had happy hour drink pricing, a key lime martini (which lived up to its name). We will return! It was a lovely evening. Gabriel, our server was an Angel.
