    We had a fabulous time at the Nest. The food was delicious. Our drinks were amazing and our server Patrick, was fantastic. The nightclub was so much fun and we will come back for another visit.

    Was under impressed with the chefs signature fish dish. 2 of us had it and both felt it was overcooked and very oily, lacking flavor. For as much as it cost, we didn’t see any value and it made me want to stick to drinks only here in the future…

    Love love love the Nest. Just maybe not for food. Make a reso to get in for dancing though. We had a chicken Milanese dish that was pretty gross. And my fish was just ok. We had a good bacon and date appetizer though!

    The service and cuisine were very good, However, I didn’t expect the noise level in the dining room. It was so loud that I could barely talk to my husband or hear each other having a conversation. We had to lean in every time talk to one another. Two tables around us, all men at each table, were very boisterous and somewhat obnoxious. It was not we were expecting celebrating my husband’s birthday last night.

    We were seated next to a party of 12 obnoxious and loud men who should have gone to a sports bar rather than a fine dining experience. Their behavior totally ruined our evening which makes me question the judgment of the restaurant management to seat a group like that in the dining room rather than putting them in the bar or outside on the heated patio where they wouldn’t destroy a fine dining experience of the surrounding tables. The food was delicious and our server was good but I wouldn’t risk spoiling another evening at The Nest.
