    My wife and I live on St Simons Island and love three little birds next door for breakfast and decided to try the nest…..we walked in, sat at the bar and Dorothy walked up with a huge smile and greeted us both. She made us each a drink as we looked over the menu. We ordered the Garlic Shrimp Skewers with Crostini bread to sop up the lemon butter sauce that bathed the shrimp…and OMG, they were out of this world in flavor and tenderness! We then ordered the cauliflower “chef’s” special Pizza for the night, and once again, we were totally overwhelmed with how great it tasted!! There were other menu items we WILL definitely be back to try. We WILL be bringing friends here too! We should have known, the same owner that owns, Georgia Sea Grill, Three Little Birds, all restaurants we love, owns this as well. I promise, you will NOT be disappointed!!

    Delicious dinners for our party of eight. Two had the surf & turf, steak was perfectly cooked, two had the bao selection, one had the salmon skewers, one had the brussel sprout with pappardelle pasta, one had the fig & pear pizza and one had shrimp on skewers…..and only some of the pasta was left! Appetizers were sweet potato & goat cheese balls, yardbird arms and chicha de fillipe, so unusual and interesting. Excellent wine choices also! We will definitely be back! Reservations are a must for this intimate setting.

    As a table of 4 we shared the Tapas and they were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the Fig and Pear Pizza which had a great thin crust and the Yardbird Wings but all in all it was great. At $26 per bottle the Yalumba Shiraz was a steal. The service was spot on, our waitress was vey helpful and we are already planning a return for the Tapas we didn't order last night.
