    My coworkers and I come here for lunch every two weeks and the food and service is always amazing. Their happy hour food menu is phenomenal and the ambience is really chill and a lot of TVs to watch sports on.

    I got the smoked brisket and it was so dried and chewy I couldn't eat it. Husband got the smoked chicken and he said it was good. The service was slow as they inly had one server . I would not go back

    A lot of change came to the Nest recently, all of which for the better. The new waiter/bartender Tim is the best in the keys. 10/10

    They need to get their rules straight. Last night my ESA dog was fine. Tonight I'm told to go outside. Really people what are your rules?

    Thought it was the Green Turtle Inn but they are a separate restaurant and close early so I had to re-read the sign and saw that The Nest is the place for the promotions.

    We came this evening to celebrate our Anniversary and I am so glad we did. We have dined here…read morebefore my husband and I renewed our wedding vows 15 years ago and we had the reception here. I had the sirloin dinner tonight and it was done perfectly. Served with demi glaze and mashed potatoes with assorted vegetables and they were also cooked nicely. My hubs had the Surf and Turf and his filet was cooked to order with bernaise sauce and they char the lobster in the shell and he said it was the best he ever had and worth every penny. Our server was very nice and polite. The dining room is quaint with a dark wood bar and it's atmosphere is varied with a mix of locals and tourists. I don't know if you know the history of Sid and Roxies Green Turtle Inn but it's very interesting and has stood the tests of time not to mention hurricanes. If you ever find yourself in Isle Morada on Highway 1 stop in for breakfast lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed.

To eat we ordered the sautéed mussels and then I ordered the traditional Greek salad for my dinner and he ordered the farmhouse pasta. Overall the food was good. The potato salad in the Greek salad was random but good I enjoyed it. It also had a good portion of chicken on it. My bf liked the pasta but not the sauce (aka broth) he said it tasted like ramen with the broth and I couldn't agree more. Not the best pasta dish we've had. I will say our service was awkward. Although our bartender was friendly she seemed very drunk. She was dropping glasses, slurring and just seemed out of it -- but not THAT out of it because our ordered came out correct so there's that!

    Today we had our worst meal in Florida. Husband ordered the Catch of the Day which was Grouper…read more $45. The fish was so overcooked it was inedible. My wings were undercooked and rubbery even though I asked for extra crispy and my Greek salad was equally pathetic. It was just bad food. Not one ounce of care went into the preparation. I'm searching for something nice to say about the food but cannot. Of course when most of our meals were left on our plates and we didn't want a box the server asked if the food was ok. We let her know it wasn't good. The cook took 20% off the check. Whatever. What we wanted was an edible meal. The service was good. The outside deck is fine. Please don't eat here.

    We got there about 5:45 on a Wednesday, had to wait 20 minutes for a table. I was not impressed…read morewith the ice tea or the pinot gregio. Service was 5*. I ordered the Churrasco skirt steak medium rare. The taste was quite good. A few parts were very rare, a few parts were done medium well, but most of it was as ordered. The rice tasted good, but was not very warm at the time it was delivered to the table. The onion rings looked really good, but the taste was lacking. I give the rings 3*s. My wife has the Ahi Tuna dinner. She gave it 5*s. Large portion. Great taste. Very good sauces. The worst part of the experience was payment at the end. Yhey shove a screen in front of your face with the server standing over you as you are asked to pick a tip percentage. There is no breakdown of what the charges are or how the tip is calculated. There was an option for a printed receipt, which I selected, but never got a receipt. If my wife had not been so happy with the tuna, I would have given them 3*s.

Great beers on tap and those prices are just perfect. I like a fancy meal once in a while but it's just too much when your down in the Keys. We're looking for a simple place that is reasonable and great. This is it. Service is terrific, menu is unique.

    Stopped in with our family when on vacation. We had read the rave reviews, seen the restaurant…read morefeatured on triple D, and read the "Best Burger in Florida." The place is small and we sat at the bar. It's a cool, dive bar vibe with memorabilia on the wall. There were only a handful of others there, but the service was slow, especially considering it wasn't very crowded. It seems like the waitress was distracted and forgot about us. Eventually, we were taken care of. We all got one of their sodas and thought h they tasted good. We tried to order their award-winning fish dip, listed on the specials board, but the waitress said they were out of chips. Ok, fine -- we said "forget it" and moved onto the main course. We all ordered some variation of the Fancy Nancy, their namesake burger. It was a good burger but not the best in Florida. Not even close. The fries were frozen and nothing to write home about. Others in our party ordered the "award-winning" potato salad, which tasted pretty good. As an aside, I ordered my burger medium well, and it was cooked as desired. Everyone else ordered their burger medium and two were very pink, more like medium rare or rare. It seems like most of their awards and accolades were earned pre-COVID. We wanted to like this local spot but I have to imagine it's not what it once was.
