One of my favrorite restaurants is the Nest. The service is excellent. The old house adds some ambience but can be noisy when full. Cell phones in such a small area should be prohibited. Favorite appetizers include the fried oysters and the mussels, wonderful wine sauce. Entrees I love are the half chicken in a great sauce, wonderful, the rack... more

It's incomprehensible to me that "The Nest" passes as a palace of fine dining---even in Fredericksburg: How to explain the heavy creamy unsubtle sauces, larded with cheese and mashed potatoes, the loud Brazilian music, the slapdash service, the place salted with locals talking on cell phones and celebrating birthdays and anniversaries? Granted, the lavender icecream was a clever touch.. Still,... more

Our verdict is that it is very good cooking, of the standard of a very good amateur chef. The service was good and the meal very tasty, of almost gourmet standard, but the presentation was not stylish. Portions were good size and we thought the prices were reasonable. more

We celebrated our anniversary with dinner at The Nest, and were absolutely delighted. Lovely atmosphere in a nicely restored old home. Exceptional food and very nice service. For our other night in Fredericksburg, we chose the Cabernet Grill based on its #1 ranking here, and were disappointed. It's a decent restaurant--good food, but nothing special. It's not even in the... more

I know there's another restaurant currently rated #1 but I agree with the locals - The Nest is the Best when it comes to fine dining in Fredericksburg! Four of us had dinner at The Nest and our only complaint was that we were cold. The food, service and presentation could not have been better. My mother-in-law had a hard... more

Went to Nest based on reviews; the chef was extremely rude, vulgar (shouting profanities at guests) and threatening. The food may be good, but even if it's the best in town, no customer should have to experience (or witness) this type of inappropriate behavior. There are many other outstanding restaurants in town; I highly suggest that you dine somewhere other... more

Food at Nest Restuarant was delicious and well worth everything you pay for what you get. My husband got the rack of lamb and I got the sauteed shrimp. We also had an appetizer of fried oysters which were very delicious. Don't expect to walk out with a cheap bill. The wait staff was very attentive and refilled our drinks... more
