Really enjoyed eating breakfast here yesterday at the Nest Rooftop Lounge. I got there soon after they opened, and was the only person there. It was a nice last meal while in town. I had the southern biscuit and it was amazing. The main thing that’s amazing is the views. I loved the views from the deck outside. If it’s nice enough out, I would highly recommend sitting out on the deck to see the amazing views of the river and city.

The buffalo chicken mac and cheeae was by far the best Mac and cheese I've ever eaten! Spinach dip and parmesean truffle fries were also delicious. Server was a but slow with refills and things but overall amazing visit here!

I had an amazing experience at this rooftop! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views that make it perfect for relaxing or enjoying a night out. The view of the Savannah River is absolutely breathtaking and makes the whole experience even more special. The ambiance is modern and cozy at the same time. The drinks were well-crafted and delicious, and the food exceeded my expectations. Everything was fresh and flavorful. A special shout-out to Rodrigo, the bartender, who took great care of us. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The drinks he prepared were absolutely delicious! We highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

Finding the restaurant entrance was quite tricky. There's no sign indicating the restaurant name; you actually need to enter through the rooftop lounge entrance. We arrived around 11:00 PM, and while the restaurant was still open, we initially found the entrance door locked. Eventually, we managed to get inside. Once inside, the atmosphere was good, with a nice vibe and a good view. It's a small space, but the view was excellent.

The Nest holds a special place for me as a former employee and I really enjoy the alfredo, but I must say without a host at the front, on weekends especially, it can sometimes be confusing. My fiancé and I weren't sure if we were supposed to wait at the door or seat ourselves as we saw no signage with seating instructions but we saw others waiting and thought it best to do the same as things have changed since I worked there. Once we were sat our server Warren/WB got our drink order and starters put in right away. Since we already knew what we wanted for our main course we were able to put that in when our drinks came to the table. It took maybe around 15-20 minutes for our starters to come out which we felt was a decent amount of time considering the place was pretty busy when we were sat. We had no complaints on the spinach dip, but something was different about the chicken skewers this past weekend because I had to ask our server to send them back. The flavor and texture of the meat wasn't off just different than I recalled, but our star of a server Warren was able to take in what I said, adjust and tweak some things, and asked the chef to instead prepare some chicken stripes tossed in the same sauce as the skewers and I couldn't be more grateful because not only did they taste amazing, but to have your server lock in and be able to pivot so quickly because they care that much to make sure you have the best experience however they can is why I come back. Thank you again Warren/WB you're the best server there is.
