Wonderful atmosphere and something different on SSI; Chicken satay was dry. Wine was delicious.

Vegetarian options: Vegan cheese is an option, though not on menu; Overall, there could be more vegetables.

Very rude... First off... TRY to at least APPEAR open. Secondly, if people are parking in your parking lot, (Again, because you look closed) don't immediately chase them off saying it's private property. Maybe stop people with a bit more professionalism and try to make a customer out of people who regularly visit, as they have rental property in the area. "This is private property and you're welcome to park here if you choose to eat here. What will it take to make you decide to dine with us this evening?" Easy. Professional. Not rude and off-putting. As I stated in the parking lot, you are hurting your business by standing outside yelling private property. You'll have all the privacy you want with your rude approach. Us and others you chased off were talking about your rude approach at one of your competitors down the street. And remember, we understand that you need that parking for your customers, but let's recap... You look closed. You are rude. Thank you!

I recently hosted a surprise Anniversary party for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary at the Nest! The staff was incredible with the service, and the food was superb! The feedback as a whole, was it was some of the best steak we've ever had. Thanks to everyone for working with me on this special event. I look forward to many more events with you.

First time here and wow was it amazing. Excellent atmosphere professionally done but relaxed. Our server Hannah was super friendly and professional with perfect recommendations on wine and appetizers. But the food…5 star. Perfectly cooked and the depth of flavor of each of the four appetizers was amazing. Our drinks very well done from the friendly bartender and incredibly designed bar that adds well to the atmosphere. We chose to sit inside but outside seating looks great as well. What a jewel for Saint Simon’s Island. A big thanks for a wonderful evening!

I celebrated my birthday at The Nest on a Monday evening. I was greeted by a birthday card signed by the staff. Service was excellent from start to finish. The small, cozy restaurant space wasn't crowded, so it was relatively quiet. Our group of five all ordered something different from the wide-ranging, creative fusion menu. There were lots of offerings that could have been shared as either tapas or as a single-serving meal. Every person at the table rated their dish as excellent. The ingredients were mostly sourced from local farms. The desserts were also delicious. The menu is considerate to all dining restrictions, including many gluten free options. Prices were very reasonable! The Nest is my new favorite SSI restaurant.

The atmosphere when you first walk in was inviting, food was incredible, drinks were super delicious but Rain, the bartender was AMAZING!!! She made the whole experience! We were also impressed with the general manager, very willing to help his team. You don’t see that often. We are tourists but we WILL be back because of this place. Thank you!!

Friendly staff, great food, a very good experience. Some interesting selections on the food and drinks menu, and everything was prepared and presented extremely well. Best roti I've had outside of Malaysia, and the Bao sampler was fantastic!

I always enjoy the album, yes album playing and they play the entire one, this particular night was The Dire Straits. The intimacy of dining inside is like being in a private study with a bar, bookshelves and all.

The Nest is such a nice trendy, local place that has EXTRAORDINARY service. They have BEST tapas, drinks & instagram-worthy customizable charcuterie boards! The location is central to everything you’d want to do/see in downtown St. Simon’s. The venue is appealing to the eye, quaint and feels like you’re in a comfy/cozy moment where time stands still—quite memorable!! ☕️ ? ? ?️

The skirt steak entree was atrocious I couldn't even chew it. Had to send it back and I never do that. And it was $35. The grouper was also undercooked and flavorless. It was $36. This review would be way worse if not for the service our server Summer was fantastic she was very nice and over all they were very accommodating.

Our best dining experience in the past four nights, which included Delaney's, Halyards and Ga Sea Grill. It was interesting to find our Ga Sea Grill owns The Nest! Our service was fabulous as were the four tapas dishes we enjoyed with our wine. Highly recommend you give it a try. It is also a bargain compared to the other dining options!

We loved it. My family visited Saint Simons for the first time and chose this restaurant based on all the reviews and atmosphere. It did not disappoint. The hostess was sweet and attentive and very accommodating to a little hiccup in our reservation. Our server Kayli was extraordinary! She was attentive, knowledgeable and fun. The food was the perfect combo of quality ingredients, innovative recipes and beautiful plating. My family of four loved all our dishes that we shared including the skirt steak, the curry, the bao sampler, Chicharonnes, yardbird arms and two desserts. We left stuffed and happy.
