    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.

    We visit The Nest annually and enjoy introducing out of town visitors to it. It is always an enjoyable experience, the Happy Hour dinner menu is good value for money. Natasha, our server, was excellent. She was personable, attentive, and made us feel very welcome! Kylie (?) on the front was very helpful also. Everyone should go there, at least once, when visiting the desert!
