Tasty foodGenerous portionsAtmosphereGood valueFriendly staff
Absolutely loved this new spot!
The portions were really generous, so you definitely get great value for money.
The cocktails were amazing—creative, perfectly balanced, and reasonable in price.
Everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor, and the atmosphere made it even better.
Can’t wait to come back again!
Atmosphere busy and buzzy. Staff very attentive and service excellent.
We had the prawn scampi, the chill chicken chunks and the Thai red curry. Sizeable portions and good presentation. Food lovely. The star was the Thai curry which was gorgeous. We also had the jalapeño poppers which were very tasty.
Price very reasonable.
It's great to see a new restaurant open and it is very clear that the owners and staff are working hard.
Food presentation was very good and everything was very clean. Food was nice (not blown away but not disappointed). Our beverages were lovely. Some things were priced fairly, others priced a little more expensive. From a constructive feedback point of view, a bigger selection of food would be nice but I appreciate that this is a new restaurant and it is much more important to serve a limited menu well than a sub standard menu. Great potential!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback and for recognising the hard work of our team. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the presentation of the food, the beverages, and the atmosphere we are creating.
As a newly opened restaurant, our current menu is designed to help us get started while ensuring we deliver quality and consistency. We've focused on covering the classic favourites, alongside offering both a 3-course menu and a dedicated kids' menu. We are still in the process of developing and expanding our menu, and your feedback is invaluable as we continue to grow.
We're pleased that you can see the potential in what we're building, and we look forward to welcoming you back to The Nest so you can experience the new additions and improvements we have planned.
Thank you again for your support.
