    Always a great time at the Nest. Great dinner, white linen table cloths, excellent service, music, and dancing... what else could you ask for? It is classic and a special place in the desert. Owner and her team manage things well and it is perfect for a date night or girls night out. Plus it is an opportunity to dress up if you desire.

    Calamari was excellent and the service was wonderful. I did not care for my salmon entree though. Love the night club and always have a blast dancing and enjoying the music!
