    Stuffed shrimp with twice bars stuffed potato
    Julie R.

    Second try here was superb. Seafood bisque was just as good. Stuffed mushrooms were good. Salmon with crab stuffing and stuffed shrimp were excellent - cooked to perfection with right amount of seasoning and butter. Lava cake topped off the excellent meal!

    Another trip to Jeanette to visit The Nest went well last night. We were drawn in by the advertisement in the Trib noting the specials of a Seafood Platter, John Dory And Hogfish. I was not familiar with the two fishes and a quick Google search explained both to me. The Hogfish was from Florida and had a mild flavor similar to Grouper, which I love, so I ordered that grilled. It did not live up to my expectations however. It was okay, not great. Perhaps another preparation method would have been a better choice? My husband went for the seafood Platter which was huge and did not disappoint! My son, although he loves seafood, loves steak more and The Nest has consistently provided him with a tender perfectly cooked steak. My cocktail was an Ocean Bleu Martini and the dinners come with 2 sides, such as salad and twice baked potatoes. Our server was very attentive and couldn't have been nicer. The decor is largely unchanged from the 90's but who cares when you're eating delicious seafood? It looked like the facade had an update since we were there. This is where you go when you want delicious seafood! I'd stick to the well known favorites of Crab Cakes, Lobster tails and Scallop or Shrimp dishes.

    My lady and I are enjoying our meal at the Nest. Lobster tail biggest I've seen!

    Our new Favorite seafood restaurant. Went there this Tuesday - location Jeanette PA. Our first time. everyone working there were super friendly, The interior was nicely laid out and classy we got seated in a small area by the window with the six tables, it was nice and cozy. We ordered oysters on the half shell, one reason we went there my date and I both love oysters, they did not disappoint fantastic. they have a nice wine list and. Specialty drinks. I had my lady.order a large lobster tail (because we were going to share) I had lobster and crab meat over rice.We were really enjoying ourselves was the best we had in a while.

    Ribeye.

    I love The Nest! We do all of our event celebrations here, birthdays and anniversaries and stuff. Cozy, old-timey feel. Classic seafood/steak offerings. Always reliable. A diamond in the Jeannette rough.

    The bar. Note the lack of tap handles!

    If you've read some of my other posts, you'll know that one the first things I look for is the beer selection. The Nest falls short in that regard, but that's clearly not a priority for them. That's not to say though that they're too classy for any booze...they have a nice selection of bourbons and wines. They provide a recommended wine pairing for your meal too, which helps a knuckle-dragging beer drinker like me. The Nest is a seafood joint primarily, but they do include some turf with their surf. I love good seafood, and The Nest's quality is some of the best I've had in the Pittsburgh area. I had a lobster/crab sauté that was really good...far above what you'll get at a Red Lobster-ish chain. I do have to warn you sushi lovers out there that it's not on the menu. They stay in their swim lane and offer an excellent seafood meal. The vibe is a mix or classy and casual. For guys I'm thinking khakis and dress shirts (no ties) although I was in jeans and a golf shirt and they didn't turn me away. I sat at the bar for dinner, so my "waitress" was also the bartender. She was fabulous. Attentive and friendly, but not in an obnoxious over-the-top way. Knew the menu well and made good recommendations. She was the kind of server I wish I could pick up and carry to the next place. The Nest is on the expensive side, but you have to expect to pay a premium for high-quality seafood this far inland. When you're west of the Appalachians, have craving for GOOD seafood, and are willing to pay a reasonable bill, the Nest is worth making a trip.

Maybe not that big a deal, but a lot of the Pour Tour locations don't have their own parking so this' is a big plus. I love the atmosphere inside. Rustic, but with some modern flair. A bit dark, but also light enough to see what you need to see. There are a variety of seating options including standard tables, high tops and seating at the bar. I chose to sit at the bar since I was there on my own. My server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She shared information about the winery and some of the most popular wine and food items. After sampling several, I settled on a glass of the playhouse red blend and one of their specials - a grilled cheese and tomato bisque. The soup was creamy and delicious and the grilled cheese comfort food perfection. Food came out fairly quickly and my server was attentive to my needs without being pushy. I really enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be back, hopefully for one of their events or maybe a visit in their fun looking igloos.

Busy intersection, no windows, and a front door that doesn't work... but don't let that fool you. Entering through the patio entrance, the outdoor seating is an oasis somehow perfectly separated from the busyness just beyond the sidewalk. We opted to sit inside on a humid day.. simple but fitting! The menu is only tapas, but the small plates don't contain small flavors!! We love to split tapas with friends, so we ordered a table load and went all in. We selected: - Street Corn Dip - no notes. Gooey, well seasoned, and plenty of fresh corn! Abundance of chips, more than enough! - Bruschetta Flatbread - every available inch covered in fresh tomato, lacking in the balsamic glaze, but still a fresh, refreshing bite. Honestly, this is a huge tapas, 8 pieces and easily a meal on its own - Headkeeper Toothpicks - THESE ARE THE SHOWSTOPPER!! Clever concept, perfectly executed! Crispy tortilla wraps loaded with chicken, peppers, onions, and gouda. And DOUBLE dips!! - Banh Mi Eggrolls - large tapa with a big eggroll for all four of us. Crammed full of toppings and well seasoned - Balsamic Marinated Grilled Vegetables - great variety, one of each veggie, but a little too much oily sauce (Pro Tip - we cut these up and put them on top of the bruschetta - perfectly paired!!) - Cauliflower - large portion, almost half of a head of cauliflower, dripping with truffle oil, but soooo tender to eat - Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes - only 2, but packed with crab and delicious sweet-chili & coconut-lime sauce! - Lo Mein Bowl - another tapa that could be a full meal, tender beef, but the seasoning was just off for us And of course... DESSERT! Thankful to go on a double date where one from each couple wants to split desserts too. Why not try the best part of the menu too? Vanilla Crème Brulee - a perfect sweet blend of vanilla and custard with a scrumptious layer of brûlée Strawberry Scooter Crunch Cheesecake - decadent swirls of strawberry through the cheesecake and a crisp layer of scooter crunch all over Tell you what! The sauces and pairings show how ingenious this culinary team is... and looking at reviews, the menu rotates and I'll have to try some of the fun items that I've seen from other seasons!

We were warmly greeted by Todd and Gina, the owners, who couldn't have been friendlier. Todd told us all about their wines, including the awards they've won, especially in California, and generously offered us the chance to try any of the wines at no cost. We started with the Gruner Veltliner, a bright, citrusy, and crisp wine. It was extremely dry compared to other Gruners we've had, which are usually more fruit-forward, but it was still quite enjoyable. Next, we tried the Riesling, which was also very good. My wife moved over to the semi-sweet side and tried the Traminette, which I eventually sampled after trying all the dry wines. We both really liked it. I then tried the Cabernet Franc, which was a medium-bodied wine with notes of raspberry, blueberry, and a light mocha oakiness--delicious! The Chambourcin was also quite good, without the typical bite or tartness. Lastly, the Flagship Red, a classic Bordeaux-style dry red, had a pleasant hint of pepper and was definitely a standout. Todd shared that they exclusively offer wines from Stony Run Vineyards in Breinigsville, PA, which has a wide selection. They're also planning to offer Old Fashioneds soon, as their winery includes a distillery, and they'll be featuring a "drink of the week" as well. What really sets this place apart, though, is Todd and Gina themselves. They're genuinely kind people who are dedicated to the community, and it was heartwarming to learn that they both served in the US Military--Todd in the Navy and Gina in the Air Force. We're already looking forward to our next visit when we're in the area again. Don't forget to thank them for their service when you stop by!

Weren't the best tbh, I mean they were a dollar so I can't complain. Some had shell pieces, others looked dry and squiggly. The chimichurri that came with them was amazing though. Also ordered their pierogi flatbread. Wasn't terrible per se, definitely wouldn't call it a flatbread. Was round and about the size of a tortilla, sort of looked like a kid crafted it up as a late night snack. Size was disappointing but the potato, bacon, and cheese on top were flavorful. Oddly came with chicken on top??? Waiter was just as surprised as us, but we said we didn't care.... Extra protein anyway. Drinks were solid.
