    Very good for a first experience ! Very nice welcome in a freshly renovated restaurant. Very nice setting. Good was delicious - too copious for me. My husband had a great burrata-tomato salad, great sauce, then an excellent half glazed duck. I was expecting a baked Brie but it as not anymore on the menu. I had scallops beurre blanc on an asparagus’ risotto. It was too much for me. 4 scallops beurre blanc ( excellent) would have been enough. Jacques had a delicious raisin pudding as a dessert. I had a split champagne monopole $22 when it is $15 in Stuart and my husband had a great glass of Pinot noir ( Pull Hobs). Too bad I could not past the 3 photos I took.

    It was a typical country club setting, which I am not a fan of. Our waiter was great, however, the host team wanted to tell me that they are triple booked, etc. I honestly don’t want them to tell me the restaurants problems (we had a reservation). The food was high quality, I prefer my steak seared with a bit of a crust. It was not exceptional or craveable. The lobster bisque, although pricey, had beautiful lobster in it, and was worth the price. Again we would have liked a bit more cognac in it.

    Hi Christina, Yes, We are located at a country club. We personally like the incredible view and to be honest, we are quite proud of the complete remodel making it a warm and inviting atmosphere. We are sorry that you did not like it. Maybe you didn't see it before? We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the lobster bisque. Bisque is a labor intensive soup and it was a large bowl not a cup. Lobster is a quite expensive product these days. We strive to provide a memorable dining experience for all our guests and we're sorry if the host was too chatty. We train them to be friendly and it's not usually a problem, but I will have a talk with them to assure they refrain from TMI. We'll certainly take your comments into consideration for future improvements. Best regards, Janeen and Bill

    The food was amazing. This was our first time here. It’s a little bit pricey, but it’s great for a special occasion. We came here for Christmas because we wanted some place special and it was really nice because there was a piano player throughout the whole time we were there. Service was great. I had short ribs. My son had filet mignon and my husband had Osco Busco. Everything was amazing. We highly recommend this place.

    Hey Rita, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience at The Nest.

Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to serving you again on your next special occasion! Best wishes, Janeen and Bill

    Our reservation was made 4 weeks prior to assure we would get a window table. Instead we we shoveled into an awful location behind the kitchen. An immediate complaint to the manager yielded no change. Fortunately our server was extraordinary and made the meal experience pleasant. The food was about what you would expect from Dennys with prices from the Ritz. I should have walked out when I experienced their lack of customer care. We will not be back and we so informed the manager whose mantra was ‘there is nothing I can do’
    The NestResponded 1 day ago
    You chose one of the busiest days of the year to visit us. We were booking reservations MONTHS ago. We do not have ANY tables behind the kitchen. The table you had is one of 2 cozy tables along a wall with beautiful views of the 9th hole. Often REQUESTED by couples. We are always happy to relocate a customer to a preferred table but Christmas Day we were booked solid and moving tables was not an option. You insult us with your comment "our food being like Denny's and prices from the Ritz". You have obviously never been to the Ritz Carlton because our prices aren't anywhere near their prices. I won't even dignify the Denny's comment with a response. We served over 200 (198) happy guests that day. I hope you find your happy place. It clearly will not be at The Nest. The Manager

    This is a beautiful restaurant with some of the best servers in the area. Recent menu options are being well received and, we're told, more are on the way. Quie, elegant atmosphere is perfect for a special evening or a casual great meal.
