    A restaurant named, The Nest, implies some level of comfort and cosiness, of which you will find disappointingly little here. The dining room looks pulled out of a mid west Marriott circa 1982, complete with curved track lighting and oddly sterile surfaces. The food offers no homieness, either. A mousakka was bathed in what tasted like unsliced tomato puree and took, I kid you not, 1.5 hours to arrive at our table. Well past the amount of time it took for food to arrive at neighboring tables, with no apology or remark from the waitstaff. Find another restaurant.

    The dinner was lovely but the noise level was impossible to have a conversation at the table. I think they might have had the music speakers playing in the restaurant.

    Wonderful local establishment. Excellent Early Dinner menu. The Early dining was perfect as we just attended a matinee performance at the McCallum. Our table enjoyed the Dodi's Pasta, Cabbage Rolls, Sole and Double Cut Pork Chop. Each on the Early menu, offered opening until 5:30 pm, which also included a soup or salad and a dessert. We will return when in the area.

    The noise in this restaurant was so bad I wanted to leave immediately. We dined on the side that is traditionally a restaurant. There were several tables that were having birthday parties and were extremely boisterous. I am all for having fun, just be prepared that you will not have a quiet dinner. We were at a booth for 2, but were faced out to the restaurant and it was quite loud. The servers were very attentive so I hate to sing the restaurant with a poor rating but this was not the experience I was anticipating. If you go, just be prepared.
