    The whole experience was wonderful. Our waitress Dorothy was so nice. Tim was the chef and the steak and frites were superb as was the spring salad.

    This is a fun place to dine on the Island; both the atmosphere and the menu are unique. Diners are encouraged to share small plates, which expands the possibility of experiencing new offerings. Our waitress was knowledgeable and personable, but gave us space. A great dining experience.

    Wonderful experience. First time… group of 6 people. Menu was perfect, our server “Rain” was informative and fun. Suggest the corner booth if you want to sit inside….. looks like great outside seating also available. I would anticipate being back soon!

    The Nest did it again! Excellent tapas, good wine, topped off with chocolate chess pie and cornbread pound cake. Great atmosphere near the bookcase. The waitress, Rayne, a super efficient and funny woman, was helpful and courteous.
