    Somewhat different menu from Pietro's (the prior restaurant)-less emphasis on Italian cuisine. Courteous and professional staff, helpful servers, and interesting specials. Some sides may have been pre-prepared, so be sure to inform the server of any allergies or salt restrictions -they may be able to offer a substitute. The catch of the day (tile) was very good as were the other entrees at our table. Overall, a most enjoyable dining experience.

    Our first time dining at The Nest was awesome. We celebrated our 5th anniversary and our server Angelica, offered to take our picture outside during sunset. Simply beautiful. She also offered us a complimentary dessert after our scrumptious meal. Speaking of which was absolutely delicious. I ordered the lobster bisque appetizer and it was the best I’ve had since relocating to Florida in 2019. My husband enjoyed the pork chop entree which was big enough for two full meals. 5 stars all the way.

    We have dined here a few times. We found the Valentine's day dinner was superb. Our host was gracious and our server was excellent. Our next dinner here will be for a birthday. Do not miss the sunsets at The Nest.

    Our visit to the Nest was meh at best. The atmosphere was lovely and plate presentations appetizing; the food mediocre and service pleasant but more the style of a casual dining restaurant than you would expect from a Valentine's Day pricey fine dining experience. The pre fixe menu offered a great selection... and if only it ate as well as it read ... would have been stellar The shrimp cocktail was excellent with just the right amount of cocktail sauce, but it was downhill from there. The baked oysters were pretty but tasteless, the salad seemed like it was several hours out of a premixed greens bag, the farmed salmon was way overcooked and lobster Thermidor beautiful but mushy. The strawberry cheesecake was of the Sara Lee genre.

    Excellent food. The risotto was best in Florida. Pork chop was outstanding. Lobster bisque while expensive is worth the price, its so delicious.
