    Although the restaurant was hosting a large Christmas party, they were very attentive and we were pleased with the service.

    Food was overcooked, over priced, and very slow. There were only 2 other tables there eating on a Saturday night. It took 45 minutes to get an appetizer to the table. The kids chicken tenders were burned. The salmon was so overcooked that it was rubbery. The short rib tacos were mush. They ran out of diet soda. It was very dark. We had to use a flashlight to see the food we were eating and read the menu.

    This was my first time visiting this establishment. We sat down right away. The food and drinks were good. It was my birthday so I received complimentary Oreo bread pudding. Let me just say I typically don’t eat bread pudding but this was so delicious. I will definitely be visiting again soon.

    Outside tables were very dirty, water glass and silverware dirty. Food was ok but for the price and location I expected so much more.

    Easy reservations. Greeted and seated early and friendly. Good mix if bread and lunch items. I ordered the “yard bird” and they were very accommodating to substitute a side tortilla in place of the bun. Even grilled it! Chicken was sautéed with roasted red peppers. Red onions. Cheese and spices. Juicy and flavorful. Sweet potato fries could solve global world wars. They are that good. Portion was huge. Would T change a thing.

    Surprised my Bestie for her birthday with reservations through Ooen Table on a Saturday morning. Seated near the door wasn’t our favorite 2 top area but it was ok. The coffee had an oily residue served in wide flat plastic heat resistant cups that the waitress kept holding to refill - not great. The omelette slightly overcooked was something I prepared at home nothing special and the side of grits was worse. Overall it’s the experience and the great service scenery outdoors not crowded venue that makes this place special. Thanks again NEST for making the moment a great one with that delicious bread pudding complimentary slice with that tasty whipped cream.

    “We can make almost anything on the menu vegan” that was music to my ears. It is very rare that me and my wife can go to a restaurant and get the same meal but to our dietary lifestyle. We had a great time, there was a live band and watched a little football.
