    Wonderful experience. First time… group of 6 people. Menu was perfect, our server “Rain” was informative and fun. Suggest the corner booth if you want to sit inside….. looks like great outside seating also available. I would anticipate being back soon!

    The Nest did it again! Excellent tapas, good wine, topped off with chocolate chess pie and cornbread pound cake. Great atmosphere near the bookcase. The waitress, Rayne, a super efficient and funny woman, was helpful and courteous.

    We took friends from Ohio to the Nest for a different experience and to begin celebrations of our 50th wedding anniversary. What a treat! The food, tapas, mostly, is delicious. You can’t go wrong in choosing anything, but we sampled the shrimp and salmon skewers, wings(twice), roti with curry, potato bravas, and pizza. Plus wine. We loved sitting near the bookcase, finding books that look good and some we have read. In the background, you can hear music from vinyl records, chosen by the owner. This was our second adventure to the Nest and won’t be our last.

    Dorothy behind the bar was fantastic, Food is SOOOO good, espcially the Roti with curry, the winter salad, and the fig and pear pizza. Great atmosphere -- small and low key. It was great.

    Wonderful very tasty winter pasta. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine at a reasonable cost. Really enjoyed sitting at the bar and had 5* service. I would go back again in a heartbeat. There is something for everyone on the menu…small bites or main entrees.
