We dined at Hotel Nest last weekend and were more than disappointed with it. As the restaurant section is right next to the bar area it was extremely noisy and hard to hear conversations within our own table. There is a door between the restaurant and bar but it is permanently open.
On our table there were only a couple of people that ordered entrees and so they asked for them to be brought at the same time as the mains were served. This did not occur and the entrees were brought out first. From the time we sat down until our main meals were served we waited over 1.5 hours.
After our main meals were eaten and the dishes cleared away, the waitress brought over the dessert menus for us to have a look at. She came back a few minutes later and said she was sorry but the kitchen had closed. So she took the menus away. Then she came back a few more minutes later and said she had misunderstood and the kitchen was closed for main meals but we could still have dessert. At this stage we had had enough of the poor service and decided to leave.
It is a shame the service was so bad as the food itself was actually quite good – although a little overpriced.

Approximate cost: $34 for a steak.

A great pub with a really good vibe. We were invited here on the weekend to celebrate our friends' recent engagement. The place was happening - but not overcrowded, and you could still talk to each other comfortably. I really enjoyed being here - it's definitely a place you can chill out over a drink with friends.
