    Our group of ten friends had a wonderful evening of food, drinks and dancing. The music was amazing and we loved the two choices of dance floors.

    To find a restaurant that has cabbage rolls on the menu was a great surprise! They were delicious and reminded me of my great-grandmas cooking! Well worth it!

    I was extremely disappointed with my one and only experience at this location of The Nest. I heard raving reviews and am wondering if it was a difference of preference or if their other location is better. Dodi was not friendly upon arrival. It was extremely loud. The server was nice, but seemed busy and wasn't able to be the most attentive. When we decided to not stay for dinner, we were told that they require food to be purchased when a reservation is made, or they will charge a $35 coverage for the table. We thought it was ridiculous, but opted to pay it along with our three glasses of wine, just to get out of the environment and uncomfortable energy. We were then charged $35 a head, 20% tip, and our three glasses of wine. Our bill being almost $200. We were basically charged for being unhappy for their distasteful restaurant operations.

    WOW! Didn’t disappoint! The double cut pork chop was amazingly tender and delicious. The short ribs were also extremely flavorful. Dodi, of course, is the ultimate hostess with a delightful staff. They all made us feel quite special on our anniversary!

    Not that this place needs any help getting business, but there is absolutely nothing like it anywhere! Can we go back to when it was the best kept secret? We had a delicious dinner & drinks, met the clown & danced the night away to the exceptional talent of Brian! Thank you for another memorable night!

    I had the pork-chop. It was a little dry but delicious. My wife had the filet mignon and she loved it! The Dj was a little too loud though but great music choices.

    Great food and great atmosphere but the noise level is a little too loud. I always stop by when I visit the area. Love the live music.
