A great iconic place! Very popular for a great time with great drinks and food. If you live in the area, you know where the Nest is. They have a great happy hour, that’s what we did, but we have had dinner here before and it was great as well. There martinis are perfect, with chips of ice and blue cheese olives. The wedge salad was perfect, and there other happy hour items are all good, fish tacos, calamari, chicken parm. It’s a great value also for what you get at other places that charge double or triple for what you get here!!!

Live music every night. Good vibes. Owner was incredibly welcoming and kind. We came with our toddler and she not only personally welcomed us in but also came back with a brand new large doll for our little one to play with. Kept her occupied the whole dinner. Staff was attentive. Food was very good. Drinks were balanced. Nice 80s 90s and 2000s music with a live band and DJ. They have a bar side for a more lively atmosphere and a restaurant side where we sat. Highly recommend.

We celebrated birthday(s) with dinner followed by the nightclub. The staff was great, warm and engaging. Menu gives a nice range of food and drink options at fair prices given the quality and atmosphere. Great vibe and I'll be back.

What a great little gem. Went for dinner with friends and had an amazing time. The joint was hopping. We first had an amazing meal with excellent service. When we finished we went into the bar area where we listened to some great music, danced and had a few laughs. When in the area you need to stop by and check this place out.

Absolute culinary magic! The Nest catered our event and every dish was a showstopper. The food was vibrant, fresh, and beautifully presented – a perfect blend of elegance and flavor that our guests are still raving about. From setup to service, their team was professional, punctual, and warm. You can taste the love and legacy in every bite. If you’re planning any event in Palm Springs, The Nest is a must-have!

If you're looking for entertainment & good food, the Nest is the place to go! It literally feels like a wedding reception every night. Great food, music, and amazing staff! I had the filet, ahi tuna, caesar salad, & an Aperol spritz. All was perfect. I will continue to come back

I visited this restaurant while I was visiting Palm Springs. I wanted to experience the nightclub so we opted to dine here. The ambiance is upscale and the menu was a little pricey. It was quite loud as well. I didn't feel the cost of the food compared to the taste of the food or quality that I received. I paid approximately $30 for a Chicken Caesar salad. I really wasn't impressed. The drink that I had wasn't bad at all. The service was just okay. We kind of had to flag the waitress down to request our check. The nightclub was super fun. There was a variety of ages there. I'm speaking from 21 to 80 or so and everyone was having a great time. The music took you through different eras. They even had a live singer. Such a great time to experience with your friends/family. If it wasn't for the experience at the restaurant, my review would have received more stars.

Great place for dinner and party The food is really good, and the music builds up as you eat. They have 2 areas to dance, one with a band and one with a DJ. The band was amazing and played songs that keeps you dancing and cheering. The crowd is a mix of people in their thirties with people in their fifties all happy to party together.

Happy Hour Only The Nest is always a good place to kick back for some happy hour at 3:00. And during the summertime they extend their happy hour till 7pm. Select drinks are ten dollars a piece, including wells drinks and lemon drops. Plus there a selection of happy hour food items, including eggplant parmigiana, Caesar salad and wedge. I was informed that the hamburger is no longer on the happy hour menu. Customers were disappointed to hear this. At 3:00pm on a summer weekday, we owned the bar but after 4, the bar started to get packed. I imagine by 5pm this bar would be swinging. Great bartender that everyone seem to know! Great personality! Local clientele seem to populate the bar during the summertime. Mostly regulars. Plenty of parking. Plus valet at night too.

I have been patronizing The Nest for over 3 decades. I hadn't been in for a while. I used to love it but last night there was an obvious decline in its mojo. I actually remember when Doti was kind. The menu is now quite overpriced. The portions are small. The NOISE level is beyond belief. The last three times I've been there I was literally pushed out of the way by Owner Doti. She never SMILES and never says " Excuse me ". Zero respect for owners who forget that they are in the HOSPITALITY Business. Thankless. Ungracious. Unkind. Game OVER for me and many of my colleagues. P. S. Hey Doti-- it would not kill you to Smile once a season.

The Nest was delicious, service was excellent, and the ambiance was wonderful. Live music in the bar and fine dining inside. I'm so thankful my friend suggested it. We came for dinner and started with mocktails. We had our drive home ahead of us and found an early bird three course special. I'm a fan of eggplant parm and The Nest did not disappoint. They delivered. From the drinks, service, and meal I was pleasantly surprised and will be back. Our server recommended a blue cheese wedge salad chopped and suggested the mousse over the carrot cake. We ordered both desserts to try but I'm glad we did. And I know what she meant haha!! Even though I'm more of a carrot cake gal over chocolate mousse; the mousse was better. That's service folks! Great staff, fantastic service, good food, and a memorable experience.

Great service overall and nice ambiance. We had a lot of fun but only downside was this obnoxious little boy who kept trying to get our attention by annoying us. Is he in kindergarten or something? We tried to keep our distance but we noticed him trying to photobomb our selfies and dancing behind us, practically mocking us. He even tried to get his friends to go along with his immature behavior but luckily nobody thought he was being funny or cute and didn't join in the bullying. He finally left us alone once we stood near the security guard. Ladies, enjoy but always beware....there still are creeps with double chins and beer bellies out there, ready to harass you for the sake of their ego. Stay safe!

Vibes are incredibly high. Great place to get your groove on and want a confidence booster. Food is mid for the price but you don't come here for the food. Service is okay, they'll rush you in and out of your reservation. You come for dancing and throwing back a few.

The atmosphere, food, service are all wonderful. The bonus is to go into the bar area and listen to some great music and a lot of dancing. I turn 80 in January 2026 and I'm hoping I can find someone to take me there.

Totally agree with the Yelp description of "lively local spot." I definitely recommend making a reservation because it appears to be a very popular spot for dinner, grabbing drinks and late night fun (there was a line to get in when we left dinner around 10pm). From the outside it looks rather unassuming but once you enter it is a contemporary atmosphere with mood lighting, lots of liveliness and entertainment singing popular songs. I was also surprised at how many areas it had - the main bar/dance-floor right as you enter, main dining room and another room in the far back. We came for dinner so we were seated in the main dining area in a booth along the wall which provided a prime people-watching view. A quick observation was the variety of diners, from children to golfers to people celebrating birthdays. Many people joined in on "dinner karaoke" singing along with the local entertainment as well as singing happy birthday. A clown also was wandering the restaurant, no idea why but that was entertaining. On to the food and service. I must say they are a well oiled machine, the staff works very well together in providing great service. Our drinks came out so quickly and our water cups were never empty. They had some pretty good specials this night and I ordered one of them - scallop pasta in a lemon sauce. We also ordered the classic petite filet which came with a hearty serving of mashed potatoes and asparagus. Also an added bonus is the salad or soup option that comes with entrees. I will say the food was rather tasty and can see why many people dine here. Additionally, was pleasantly surprised that their house wine was Daou (love it!). Lastly, You could literally stay here all night. After dinner you could move to the bar area, meet people, enjoy the entertainment and dance. If I didn't have such an early day the next day I would've stayed. Friendly vibes, great atmosphere and good food sums up this place for me.

I enjoyed Valentine's Day dinner at The Nest. It was my 1st time dining there. I decided to make a reservation weeks ago as I was going to visit the area during the Valentine's week end. The tuna toastado appetizer was extremely tasty. The spinach artichoke cheese dip was hot and cheesy and went well with the pita bread it was served with. The iceberg wedge was not fabulous.

This joint came recommended as a piece of Palm Springs history, so we face it a shot! Entered through the nightclub and was seated in the dining room. Chicken picatta was tender and flavorful. Caesar salad was cool and crisp, and topped with perfectly cooked shrimp.

Definitely a place to go- but a bit of a scene! Very busy! We made a reservation (it was our 44th anniversary) The greeting was nice. Service a bit slow and then got slower... maybe we didn't order enough.... The chopped wedge salad was ok nothing special. Chicken piccata was very good and nice and hot but there was just a small amount of linguine served with it ... i mean like 1/4 cup! Drinks were good. They did finally bring us a complimentary piece of chocolate cake (after we reminded our server that it was our anniversary - it was quite good. The DJ and dancing were fun... I would go back for that but maybe not dinner...

Came for dinner last night and had such an amazing time! The food was superb, I had the chicken piccata with the excellent wedge salad. The owner had us try the cevapi from her hometown of Sarajevo - exceptional!! Must have. Then we went to the piano bar and danced our faces off and had so much fun. DJ was great. Can't recommend this place enough!

Eqww... gross! I don't know how you can even be under 35 and appreciate this place. It's nothing but gross older people trying goon on younger folks and honestly it's gross As somebody that is 45 and older, I really wish that old people would leave young folks alone. That being said this place is not worth it. The live music is terrible..fun for basic People

We drive over three hours for a weekend in PalmSprings/Palm desert and after going on a strong recommendation of The Nest from a friend made a reservation for dinner at the Nest. We also were told it's a great place for live music and dancing which we wanted to also enjoy last night. We didn't know you had to book a separate table in the bar/lounge area so we ended up sitting at a table close to the bar/lounge. We were there with another couple who met us there from Laguna Beach. We have enjoyed five star dining at premier steak restaurants in New York, Las Vegas, Orange County , San Diego , and Bel Air and know the service or lack there of is equally important for a great dining experience. Our dinner started out well and the food and drinks were good. It was busy but nothing that we haven't had experienced at prior restaurants that were booked to the gills. After finishing the entrees we wanted to wait a little while about 10-15 minutes to order deserts and here is where it all went down hill. The server was really pushing us ordering deserts fast so they could turn the table and really made it uncomfortable by insisting we order desert or finish our drinks and leave, and was telling one of our guests with a pointed finger that our table was teed up for the next guests. I noticed there was not a time limit stated on their website but our guest pointed out to the server we were still enjoying our wine and cocktails and that we were being asked to rush out when dining guests at other tables to the left and right of us that had been there longer were not being asked to rush their dinner experience like we were being. I've been to STK, Mastros, Sparks in NYC, fine steak houses in Vegas hotels like Venetian, Bellagio , Ocean 48 in Newport Beach, Vibrato in Bel Air, and countless similar fine restaurants and NEVER had been treated to is way. A Manager then approached our table and our guest explained the situation to him. He was. Quiet and listened attentively and told us we can order our desert and stay as long as we could to finish it and our wine and cocktails. All the while the table to my left had a party of 8 and the one to my left rear had a party of 4 and they had been there longer than us and were not pressured to have them leave so their table could be turned over. It was my first dining experience at a highly recommended restaurant in Palm Desert area and the actions of the server resulted in a very poor dining experience. This carried on to the bar/lounge and the residue carried over to the rest of the evening. I left a 15% tip (I usually leave 25%) and my guests left 10% as there were the ones interacting with the server and manager. I noted there was another poor review at the same time as this one so it sadly the restaurant provided another disappointing experience for other dining guests. I don't usually give one star but the eagerly anticipated dining experience we hoped for fell far short.

I've had some lovely memories and truly fun times at the Nest...and I say with such sadness, I will never recommend this establishment again, and have no desire to go back. We had a birthday party group of 7 women - and the two men at the entrance were truly awful. The lead gentleman at the door on 5/10/25 was highly aggressive toward members of the group. The blessing? We were told to go to The Barn. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - The Nest is no longer the "fun" place it was. The people we met at the Nest all left for it too - so my advice: Skip the Nest - the cool kids of ALL ages were at the Barn. I was highly embarrassed to have suggested we go to The Nest to celebrate my friend's birthday. One of my worst experiences in the Coachella Valley. So glad we have another, much more fun place to go!

I had a great time and experience at The Nest off of Highway 111 in Indian Wells. There is great service throughout the entire place. You always see staff picking up, wiping down surface and security constantly making sure that everything is running smooth. The bartenders are also very friendly and quick considering how packed this place can get. Parking is also easy so is getting a Lyft or Uber as this location is very easy to find. The vibe in here is very relaxed zero drama. The DJ had a fun variety and I really enjoyed the photo Kiosk that they have in the back. It seemed like a fun way to make memories and share them 10 out of 10

My hubby and I came here last week on a Thursday night. I was nervous at first when I read the recent reviews, but the food looked delicious in the pictures. I made a reservation, and when we arrived, we were seated right away. Our waitress was very pleasant, and offered suggestions. It was quite loud in there like the reviews said, but that wasn't a big deal for us. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, and my hubby ordered the chicken Parmesan. We scraped our plates clean! The food was delicious! We were going to stay and listen to the music in the bar area, but it was packed like sardines in there lol. We'll definitely be visiting The Nest again. I need more of that eggplant Parmesan!

Someone at the hotel recommended this place so we had to check it out. To my surprise, everything was really good! We arrive during happy hour. We ordered the artichoke and spinach dip, fish tacos (crispy and delicious) and chicken Parmesan (sauce was flavorful and not bland). There's even a live band! I'm not a local but I see why the locals meet here. Good food, good vibes, good service - must try!

Our group of five were wanting to try their early bird dinner and appetizers. We were all super happy with our service. AC was blasting on us hard, we mentioned it once and she immediately adjusted it. I loved that when they slid two tables together for us they made sure we had the lovely black tablecloth and candlelight as well as the black napkins with rolled tableware. Very nice ambiance even in the bar. Items at our table: Chefs sole favorite, Double cut pork chop, shrimp tacos, wedge salad and chicken Parmesan. Best sole dinner Ive ever had, my friends pork chop was perfect and I loved the dark applesauce that was on it! These were huge portions! We were very impressed. The chicken parm was delicious and very generous portions (which our guys loved). The shrimp tacos and wedge also got rave reviews. We were all saying we're coming back for more! Our server (blonde) was very attentive and helpful. All I've ever read was this was a pick up joint (and maybe it is later in the evening) but, you just gained 5 new patrons for those early bird dinners! The only reason I gave 4 stars is a glass of white wine was $16. That's steep. Happy hour drinks were about $10 so I was surprised that one glass of wine was so high.

The Nest never disappoints! It is iconic for a reason and you must come here for a trip to the Desert if you want a great restaurant that turns into a fun nightclub full of dancing and great music. The ambiance is great with attentive servers and the food is always delicious with attention to detail with the wine list and craft cocktails.

Dodi greeted us right as we walked in while hearing the notes of a swanky jazz sax! We had pick of the tables as it was Tuesday night. We settled on a back table both on the cushioned seat able to see the entire venue and enjoy the people watching. Our meal was delicious as Jacob guided us through the menu. Appetizer calamari California style ! Light and flaky with two tasty dipping sauces. I had Tyler the chef 's choice - sole and penne pasta my date had Didi's pasta - Both of us were delectably, satisfied! The wine of choice was great as it was discounted on Tuesdays!! We got a whole bottle!! The jazz played and we dined it was a fine time. Totally recommend!!

Unfair Treatment and False Accusations! Our recent visit to The Nest was extremely disappointing. After waiting in line for nearly two hours, we were finally let in, only to be unfairly kicked out shortly after for something we did not do. Staff accused someone in our group of slapping another guest--a completely false claim with zero evidence. There was no opportunity for explanation or clarification; we were simply forced to leave. We understand the importance of maintaining a safe environment, but this felt more like poor crowd management and a rush to judgment than responsible handling. If you're going to make people stand in line for hours, at least treat them with fairness and respect once inside. We won't be returning, and we suggest others think twice before spending their time and money here.

I went during memorial weekend. The food was awful! Salmon was very dry. Had the pasta and it was very bland. Wish they offered more for the prices because this place is pricey. I will say the bar and the music is phenomenal! You have a blast and the bartender is great in service with a full house. So I suggest going for drinks. Eat before or after!

The service and drinks were great. The food was just ok. We went there for our anniversary dinner, as I wanted to find a place where we could also listen to music. Seems like the locals come and plant themselves at the bar and don't leave for others to come and enjoy. We arrived at 5:30 for a 6:15 reservation, to have some drinks and listen to music. When we left at 8:30, most of the same people were still sitting at the bar. We would've liked to stay for more drinks and dancing, but the bar stayed full and ALL of the tables had been reserved for the night.

I'm inspired to open up my own club after visiting the Nest cause that 2 hour wait gave me a lot of time to think. Didn't dine just danced. My poor husband, I dragged him here on a kids free date night after hearing friends rave about how this place is a staple of palm desert. I get it and with that reputation I got the feeling they run the place how they want and they're old school. Arrived at 10pm, found parking so clearly destiny but the line was already around the building and that means one of two things..the place is packed or they slowly trickle in patrons, it's the later. But I was determined and stubborn. I don't know what it takes to walk to the front and get in, don't really care. Some people fist bumped and walked in, other venmo-ed the bouncer. And after the first hour I was too invested to walk away and too cheap to pay. But bonus you really get to bond with those around you also willing to wait it out..lots of inspirational "we're almost there guys!!".."see we're moving".."don't worry they don't close till 1:30 so there's still some time to drink! Yay!" Lol..finally got to the front and honestly, we didn't encounter any rudeness or drama from the bouncers. They took us around back to a side door to a smaller dj room and from there we made our way to the main bar/dance floor. Dinning area with tables completely open so I knew we weren't at capacity and all that whoopla outside is really unnecessary. Main area was a little hectic but dare I say it was fun?! I actually had a good time so I think it's really all about happy thoughts and accomplishments. Crowd was a sprinkle of fresh out of college/bachelor parties, young pretty girls to yesss older adults. We're 40 but like to pretend we're 30 but in reality we're closer to old farts so totally my vibe and happy to be out of the house in heels. Just go early not expecting much and you actually might be surprised. Now I can confidently check this off the list of palm desert experiences.

This was a delicious meal with great service and portions. My wife and I dined here for our last night in the Indian Wells area. It was relatively close to the hotel we were staying at and right next door to the Sands Hotel that we were considering staying at. We made reservations, but because it was Labor Day and relatively empty in the dining room we were seated with no wait. There was a live band performing in the bar and dance floor area. You could tell that people were there to celebrate and have a good time. The restaurant is definitely great for locals, but the story of the owner Dodi makes you feel like you're invited to have a meal in her family's home. Our meal started with the baked artichoke dip and once we had it we know we had made the right decision to dine here. My wife won't admit it, but she was worried because there were more people at the bar than in the dining room. I figured it was because our reservations were relatively late on a holiday. From there we both ordered our entrees. Even though I don't really eat red meat, I decided to have the sampler plate because it was listed on the 'Mom's Favorite Recipes'. Reading Dodi's story made me want to experience Bosnian food. It included ground beef wrapped cabbage rolls, spinach pie, and Moussaka a lasagna style eggplant dish with ground beef. The dish was delicious and the presentation was excellent. I probably eat red meat once every 3 years and this meal was worth it. My wife had a delicious chicken picatta, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. We both enjoyed our entrees and the service. I failed to get the name of our waitress but she was attentive and personable. Every time I try to avoid dessert my wife ends up getting the menu and I endulge. On this occasion, at the suggestion of our waitress I had the peanut butter cake. My wife had some kind of strawberry cake that she's been raving about. The food, service, and ambiance were all a reason for us to return. We're considering staying at the Sands hotel next door and that will probably give us an excuse. Who am I kidding? Even if we stay somewhere else we'll definitely come back to try some other things on the menu.

I was in town for a conference and found The Nest by recommendation and I'm sure glad that I did. When you first walk in, you walk into what looks like a dive bar. Funky music and a mixed crowd dancing around the dance floor. But once you enter the dining room, it's a welcoming restaurant. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. We started off with garlic bread which was yummy. I ordered the Cajun double pork chop and it was so delicious. Perfectly cooked. I was afraid that the "Cajun" meant spicy but it wasn't at all. It was just perfectly seasoned. My friends ordered a steak and chicken marsala. Everyone said that their meal was delicious. Casual restaurant but still somewhat pricey. I would definitely return. So good!!

Amy our waitress was wonderful. The staff was super friendly and the valet was also helpful. Parking is of concern so we took extra pictures & confirmed w/the staff that our car would not be towed. The food was not as great as we hoped (except for the wedge salad and the chocolate cake were delectable). We got the Australian half rack of lamb that included mashed potatoes, veggies (carrots, squash, zucchini), and an option for Caesar salad, Wedge salad, or soup (soup was not available at the time). We also got the lemon pacific sole. -bread & butter 3*** -wedge salad (balsamic on the side) 5***** -Caesar salad 3.5**** -asparagus side 4.25**** -veggies side (zucchini, squash, carrots) 3.5**** -mashed potato sides 4**** -pacific sole 3.5**** -Australian half rack of lamb 3.75**** -chocolate cake 5***** -service 5*****

We have loved the nest for many, many years... Not the same vibe this year. This year the "bouncer" at the door was unnecessarily aggressive and not welcoming. We told him we had a reservation and he looked it up on his phone, then let us know... "You can go in." Not welcoming or friendly. I think they want it to feel exclusive and for people to see there is a line to get in. It's still fun to dance and drink ... But the gangsta, enforcer guy at the door, who has been there for years is like unnecessary roughing at a hockey game. A welcoming,"have a nice night", would be a much nicer start. We usually go a couple times with our group when we are out in Palm Desert... We cancelled our next reservation. Even at the Nest, kindness and hospitality are important. Harlo the clown was wandering around and friendly, so some things were the same. The food... ehhh, it's ok. Not what you go for. Bring back the welcoming fun vibe.

While on a road trip with the girls to Palm Desert, we were recommended this place for HH, it was a kickback to the days of yore, charming and warm, with a full bar abuzz with what felt like locals. All the possible seats were full or with reserved signs on the side tables. We were immediately greeted by a lovely lady who welcomed us with a smile, took us to one of the "reserved" tables, there was going to be a musical event and we just came in for a quick cocktail and a couple of bites before dinner. The house Pinot Grigio and Cab we ordered came out quickly, the amount of the pour was perfect and at a good price point. We ordered a warm artichoke cheese dip with pita corners which was excellent. The calamari was good but the pepperoncini on top made them cold and soggy, plus the they were way too small. It was all perfectly timed for us to move on to our next venture! Thank you Nest for making room for us!

Still one of my favorite night spots in The desert! Our server Christina was by far the best server I have had here hands down. The other patrons that night were super friendly and we all sand and danced throughout the night! Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the neighborhood:)

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at The Nest Bar was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to speak up. I visited with a group recently, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear that customer service was not a priority here. The staff was not only inattentive, but also downright dismissive. We were treated like an inconvenience rather than paying customers. It felt like they had no interest in accommodating us--whether it was seating, ordering, or even just acknowledging that we were there. Basic courtesy seemed completely absent. What's worse is how they handled our concerns. When we tried to speak up about the lack of service, we were met with attitude rather than an apology. It's one thing to have a busy night, but it's another to be flat-out rude and inconsiderate. Hospitality 101: if you can't provide a decent experience, at least show some respect. The vibe might be good on the surface, but that doesn't make up for the lack of professionalism. There are too many great spots in town to waste time or money somewhere that clearly doesn't value its guests. Would not return. Would not recommend.

We ended up eating in the bar because it was happy hour all night on Wednesdays! The food was excellent, service was friendly & great, and the band was awesome! Bryan & Brian. Great dance music, engaging with the audience & lively crowd. Loved it! Will definitely be back!

Go for drinks, the music and dancing. If you are particular about food being prepared properly, do not eat here. The quality is really low and even a salad is not up to par with old vegetables and bad lettuce.

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!
