    Another great meal at The Nest. Each dish hit their mark: roti with curry, seared tuna, spring pasta, seafood bowl and yardbird arms all delicious. Fried calamari and chicken legs were terrific and notable stand-outs. Bit of a delay getting seated, but team was very attentive.

    Intimate and perfect wine & small plates evening. Service was breezy and friendly, food was right on the money, and the vinyl records created the perfect vibe. Saturday Night Fever & Joshua Tree FTW. Go here.

    Truly one of our new favorite spots for dinner. Wonderful food and the small intimate environment is nice too. Plus our service is always the BEST.

    Instead of a nice flow of Tapas and a relaxing dinner, every dish came out at the same time and very quickly. All the dishes were mediocre.
