    Hoping we would like The Nest since we always liked Pietros, the previous restaurant. However, their menu was limited and the first items that we ordered, they were out of. Seemed strange since there were only 2 other tables occupied. The place was practically deserted. The first two bottles of Proseco were flat. Our waiter was very good...I'm sure he would do well elsewhere. This will not be a place that we will return to unfortunately. The food was okay but seemed very salty. High price for mediocre dining experience.

    Hi Jill, We're really sorry to hear about your experience at The Nest. We're usually known for our great food and service, and it's disappointing to hear that we didn't meet those standards during your visit. We appreciate your feedback about the limited menu and the food's saltiness, and we're sorry that we disappointed you. This was definitely an off night and we knew it. We'll certainly take your comments into account as we strive to improve our offerings and service. We hope you might reconsider and give us another chance in the future. Best, The Nest

    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.
