Our experience at Nido tonight was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent, and Holden went above and beyond to accommodate our friend’s dietary restrictions with thoughtful suggestions. The ambiance was perfect, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Watching the sunset added a magical touch to the atmosphere, making the night even more memorable. A big thank you to the team for creating such a delightful experience—we can’t wait to return!

Wow…the food was outstanding. It arrived kind of cold, though the place was packed so I assume the wait staff was slammed. It is a very loud restaurant so if you’re going for an intimate or romantic meal, this would not be the place.
