    Calamari was excellent and the service was wonderful. I did not care for my salmon entree though. Love the night club and always have a blast dancing and enjoying the music!

    Quality of food does not reflect inflated prices. The restaurant is neither in San Francisco or New York City.

    This is a fun place to old people watch and hear live music. Great cocktails! HORRIBLE FOOD. The complimentary bread was the best dish on our table. From there it got really bad. Mashed potatoes are better from Costco. Meat in the stuffed grape leaves was super fatty and tasted more like ground pork. Brussel sprouts were mushy and under seasoned. Chicken was dry as cardboard. Denny’s is better, eat there first if you must, then go to The Nest for some drinks and music.

    Great service but food was frankly horrible. Everything except the salad. Meat (ribeye) was tough. Sample platter was not hot. Just not good…..

    The food was delicious, but slow, which is unusual here. Seemed much noisier than usual. Place has a great vibe and is a fun place for music, dancing and people watching. The Brussel Sprouts were fantastic. First time trying them, will be back for more.
