We made the best of it but would have preferred to be outside as the original plan for the res. It was almost if the staff was too lazy to setup "nine outdoors".

We were celebrating a special birthday and this restaurant handled everything with excellence and…read moreprofessionalism, as well as being very engaging. We started with crab and shrimp cakes appetizers that were served with a spirited diakon relish and topping that was tangy and fresh. Our entrees consisted of roasted duck breast in a not so traditional cherry sauce coupled with broccolini. A filet mignon was delicious with a gorgonzola and what seemed to be a wine sauce that elevated this tender steak to perfection. It was served in a bed of horseradish mashed potato puree. We had a great waiter and staff attending to everything. The bread served was a standard French asking with a tasty cranberry chew that we all raved about. It's a nice upscale restaurant on the pricey side, but we all agreed it was worth it. To our delight, there was a special pricing on wines. They had very good entertainment in their lounge that played well to the dining room. We'd been told by friends about this place and they steered us right. It was a memorable night, start to finish.

I had to return it... the waiter later said he definitely agreed.... But why did he serve me that then. It was taken off the bill for me but I was never offered any other replacement. Basically I didn't eat!

We didn't have reservations and requested to be seated inside. There was a little awkward first impression with the hostess who told us that there was only one inside table left in the back corner. She didn't come across very friendly when we asked if we could see it before deciding if we wanted to sit there or not. I understand they were busy but she was a bit short with us. We were seated in Isabel's section and she more than made up for it. What a gem! She was so friendly and very nice. She made sure to check on us often and we had a lovely time at your restaurant because of her. We are giving this review 5 stars because of Isabel. The seared ahi tuna salad and the ahi tuna nachos were both delicious. The fish was fresh and so very tender with a light dressing. The pulled pork tacos were good too. The brownie dessert was a bit dry though.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn others…read more My fiancé ordered a Cobb salad, which should be one of the safest, most straightforward items on any menu. Instead, she bit into a sharp chicken bone hidden in the salad--something that absolutely should never happen. This wasn't a small, soft fragment either; it was sharp enough to cause immediate, severe pain and pierced her gums. This is not just a minor oversight--it's a major failure in basic food safety and kitchen preparation. There is no excuse for serving food in this condition, especially something as simple as a salad. We trusted this restaurant to provide a safe meal, and that trust was completely broken. What makes this even worse is that the situation could have been far more dangerous. If swallowed, this could have led to choking or internal injury. No customer should ever have to worry about that when ordering a salad. I strongly urge the restaurant to take a hard look at their food prep standards and quality control, because this is unacceptable. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

My youngest loved her spaghetti and meatballs and she is usually pretty picky about pasta. I had the butternut squash ravioli and they were rich, creamy, and exactly what I wanted. My wife ordered the miso glazed seabass and she loved it. I stole her bok choy and that made me very happy. The restaurant is really clean with a laid back contemporary vibe and great music. The AC at our first table was blasting cold air right on us and the staff moved us right away with no issue at all. They were also incredibly kind to my youngest whose birthday we were celebrating. They surprised her with her favorite tiramisu and a candle which completely made her night. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

The…read morerestaurant is beautifully designed, featuring a welcoming, open-air flow that perfectly captures the desert aesthetic. It clearly caters to a sophisticated crowd--very similar in vibe to their Calabasas location. While parking is accessible in the rear, it can get congested during peak season. The menu is extensive with plenty of excellent selections, though the pricing is definitely premium. For instance, a Cobb salad topped with fish can easily exceed $45; while the quality is high, that's a significant jump over nearby staples like Daily Grill. Service was friendly but lacked consistency; our server disappeared mid-meal without a hand-off, requiring us to flag down other staff. Overall, it's a bright, airy, and stylish spot well worth a visit, provided you're prepared for the 'luxury' price point.

The 12" pepperoni pizza, with its piping-hot crunchy crust and crisp pepperonis, hit the spot!

We started with dinner and ended up staying for the music, dancing, and all the fun that makes The Nest such a special place. I ordered the chicken piccata and honestly, it was the best I've ever had. The service was wonderful, and even though we were seated near the piano in the bar area where it can get a little loud, that's part of what makes it such a fun atmosphere. The best part of the night was having everyone together. My niece's boyfriend was visiting from Ireland, and we laughed and danced all night. I especially loved seeing my sister-in-law out on the dance floor and having so much fun. It was one of those nights where people of all ages were dancing, laughing, and just enjoying being together. We had such a great time that they went back again the very next night. The live music was fantastic, and it was great seeing Nick on saxophone. The crowd was a fun mix, the energy was high, and the whole place just felt happy. A coworker recently went during Restaurant Week and couldn't stop talking about the steak, the generous portions, and the peanut butter pie. The Nest has been a desert favorite for years, and there's a reason. It's always nice to see Dodi there and how much pride she takes in the restaurant. Most people think of The Nest for the music and dancing, but don't miss the food. It really is that good! One tip: go early or make a dinner reservation so you don't end up waiting in line. The Nest is still one of the most fun places in the desert!

Our reservation was for 12 people, and although four members of our party were running late ( My husband, our kids and I), the staff was incredibly accommodating. They held our table and even allowed us to order ahead so our food would be ready when we arrived. This ended up being a lifesaver because we were short on time and had an event immediately afterward. As soon as we sat down, our food started arriving. With a 3-year-old, a baby, and a tight schedule, having everything run so smoothly made a huge difference. I was honestly impressed that they were able to coordinate this so efficiently, especially during dinner service and for such a large party. Now for the food! Since it was our first visit, we weren't exactly sure what to expect, but everything we tried was delicious. I ordered the truffle cheese fries, cheese balls, and sweet corn, and each dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The cheese balls were especially memorable! They had the perfect texture, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not greasy or soggy at all. My husband ordered the Jalapeño Egg Burger and was pleasantly surprised that it could be made with a gluten-free bun. It's always nice to see restaurants offering options that accommodate different dietary needs without sacrificing flavor. Our 3-year-old enjoyed a plain burger and fries from the kids' menu, which was the perfect size for him. What stood out most was the service. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Dining out with two children under three can be chaotic, but the team made our experience feel easy and stress-free. Between the excellent service, accommodating staff, and delicious food, our first visit to Eureka was a great one. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
