The Nest

The food was good and cooked perfectly. The selection was limited but what they did have was good. I went with a large party and no one left unsatisfied and to go boxes were to be had. The service was friendly and spot on. The were very accommodating for our large party.

So here is the deal, if you are one of those older persons who likes to meet up with their buddies and talk about politics or whatever, the nest would be a great little spot. If you are looking for a quick bite to tide you over until the next meal or whatnot, the Nest is just fine. But....There was nothing overly special about the food. It was classic diner-ish type food. A decent amount so you don't go hungry but not something I need visitors from out of town to try. I will try again soon enough, maybe that was just for today...who knows!

Went here for dinner. Apparently dinner is a well-kept secret, but it was INCREDIBLE. The sweetest server (with a very cute kid hanging out in a booth), wonderful food (with some unique fusion dishes), and a homey atmosphere. Be sure to put it on your list next time you're in Anacortes!

Honestly I'd give them a 4.5 as explained below but it's definitely closer to a 5 than a 4.3 times here and I can say the breakfasts have been reliable delicious and reasonably priced. The inside of the restaurant has been done really nicely and has a comfortable and inviting place. Outside seating is the downtown anacortes special along the street and that's also a great thing on a warm day.I haven't had any service issues like I saw on some of the early reviews here. Servers are friendly, helpful and do mostly very well. My only complaint is a small gripe: I believe that for what a cup of coffee cost at a restaurant, I shouldn't be left with an empty cup for very long. The servers have all been done a nice job collecting the orders and bringing food, but I have been left wishing for a little more coffee. There seems to be consistently a low number of servers relative to the size of the restaurant, I suppose that's how they keep the price is reasonable in part. All of that noted, if they never change a thing, I'll still keep coming here for a long time! Glad to have the Nest in town!!!

This is a great breakfast place in Anacortes. I've eaten breakfast three times at the Nest and the food is excellent. Likewise the service was friendly and efficient. Best breakfast potatoes in town, perfectly cooked eggs and my ham was really good. Highly recommend this place.

Dinner tonight. We've come here many times for breakfast, but we found out they were open for dinner, so we tried it tonight. Asian type menu, along with burgers and sandwiches/ soup options. We went Asian and found the food excellent. I had the spicy shrimp tacos with a ginger and spicy chili sauce, I forget the name on the menu. My wife had regular shrimp with rice dish. We shared a dumpling small plate with a ginger sauce. All were excellent. I'd recommend this to all. They apparently recently got a liquor license and have wine and beer options now too. We'll be back.

Excellent service, delicious food. My daughter, who is extremely picky, even ate her entire breakfast. I can't recommend it enough!

Nice breakfast, lovely service. I would return without hesitation. My son is a vegetarian & there were lots of options that worked for him. Good prices. Restaurant felt clean and taken care of (sometimes I cringe when I see fake plants because they gather dust...but this was clean and dust NOT observed).

Our server (not sure if her name but she's a Scorpio so you know she's cool) was super friendly and ran her hiney off taking care of all the tables. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. It's a smaller place but really cute!

I am Kim and I work there. I love the food the energy and Ms Maryanne and her awesome cooking. Come see us.
