We were given this restaurant as a recommendation and the food was wonderful. Everyone was friendly but it looked like they were one person short for service. It was uneven and not what you would expect from this type of restaurant. If you can have some patience, this is a must go to in Fredericksburg.

Nest is one of the new generation of restaurants in Fredericksburg. Food and service are exemplary, and are far beyond the standard Fredericksburg heavy German-based fare. We've now eaten there three times, and all three have been models of excellence in every way. I will provide one warning, though. Book a table, and book it early. The word is out.... More

We've traveled the world, consider ourselves foodies, and have experience with our own restaurant and B&B. John, at the Nest, is hands down the best chef in Texas. Everything about the Nest is perfection. Service is extremely attentive, drinks mixed to perfection, the bread keeps coming. Our starter was a huge pile of mussels, swimming in a sauce that I...

My wife and celebrated our 13th Wedding Anniversary on March 10th 2013 at The Nest. I researched fine dining in Fredericksburg and even called the Chamber of Commerce to get their opinions. I have to say that I made my choice based on their website....it just looked good. We were not dissapointed!! Our shrimp appetizer was amazing, I'm not even... More

My husband and I ate here for a nice, romantic dinner while on our recent trip to Fredricksurg. We loved the setting - a cute little house with enough space between tables to not feel so ridiculously cramped. We ordered the shrimp appetizer, which was delicious. We then ordered the beef and lamb, both of which were mouthwatering. I have... More

We had a great dinner at the Nest. The service was very good. And the food was delicious. Our shrimp appetizer was absolutely wonderful. The steak and the chicken entree was delicious. We loved all the vegetables included with the main entree.

We are having a girls weekend in Fredericksburg next month, and The Nest was requested by some of the ladies as one of our dinner spots. I called to inquire about if they may be able to accommodate our group, which is very very large at 26 people. I (in no way) expected a table of 26, but when I... More

The Nest is small, located in an historic house. Service is good. The food is good with a changing, limited menu. Prices are high, but this is a place to go for a special celebration. I do not recommend taking children.
