The Nest was a lovely experience from start to finish! Easy to find, valet service was quick and professional, and the doorman was charming.
We made a reservation in advance, but we embarrassingly had to call twice to let them know we were running late. They were so courteous and kind about it; I totally would have understood if they said they couldn't accommodate our tardiness--but very pleasant surprise, they didn't.
We were seated promptly despite our lateness, at a lovely little table for two. Service was professional, fast, and friendly. Our server, Patrick, was really kind and warm.
They didn't question us wanting to split a dish; we didn't want to be too full since we were going to be dancing, etc. The entree came with a salad, and we went with the Wedge Salad, which was delicious and perfect to split. The main dish (Dodi's Pasta) was just fine.
When we were offered the dessert menu, I let Patrick know that it was my beloved friend's birthday. I was so impressed by his professional response; he quickly wished my friend a happy birthday and said, "I have something special for you!" So sweet and really shows a server who has experience with customers!
He brought out a generous slice of chocolate cake and lit a candle, then left us alone to celebrate privately--just perfect!
We paid for our dinner, and we walked over to the other side, where the bar is. Live covers were being played, and they covered an impressive range of genre, generation, and tempo. It was awesome!
Bartenders were responsive and friendly. We felt safe there. Our car was promptly provided to us when we left.
Overall, a very nice experience. Thank you, The Nest team!
