    The service and cuisine were very good, However, I didn’t expect the noise level in the dining room. It was so loud that I could barely talk to my husband or hear each other having a conversation. We had to lean in every time talk to one another. Two tables around us, all men at each table, were very boisterous and somewhat obnoxious. It was not we were expecting celebrating my husband’s birthday last night.

    We were seated next to a party of 12 obnoxious and loud men who should have gone to a sports bar rather than a fine dining experience. Their behavior totally ruined our evening which makes me question the judgment of the restaurant management to seat a group like that in the dining room rather than putting them in the bar or outside on the heated patio where they wouldn’t destroy a fine dining experience of the surrounding tables. The food was delicious and our server was good but I wouldn’t risk spoiling another evening at The Nest.

    Was disappointed that they changed the pork chop to include roasted potatoes instead of mashed. The roasted potatoes were awful. They were out of vanilla ice cream and carrot cake but said they would sub chocolate cake but when it came, it was a small piece of peanut butter cake. This has always been our favorite place to go to when we visit the Desert but truly tonight was a big disappointment.

    The Nest is a local institution, and rightly so. A very eclectic mix of patrons. However, it is probably the noisiest restaurant in the valley. Terribly so. I have good hearing, and the noise hurt my ears - every surface in the place is hard, reflective material. I measured the sound level ranging between 70-80 decibels. Sustained 70 decibel sound can cause hearing damage. I asked our wait person whether their ears rang at night after work, and they said 'absolutely - when I watch TV now I have to turn it way up to hear it!' I'm older, so more aware of uncomfortably loud environments. If noise, and shouting to talk across the table, are your thing, this is the place for you. As for me, if I choose to dine there again I'll bring earplugs. Seriously.
