    The Nest is always a great experience! We are snowbirds and come down to Palm Springs for 2 months every winter for the past 10 years. We have been coming to the Nest for 5 years and the food is excellent, the service is outstanding and it’s just a fun night out!

    Great place. Unfortunately we had a server that didn't like her job. That said, I would definitely recommend this place!

    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.
