"Along with the quality of the food, the wait staff is extremely knowledgeable and willing to get the answers if he/she doesn't know. No sunset because it was raining. Can you do something about that?"

-Elaine A., Venice, FL

"Food, service, ambiance. Also it is great to be able to make reservations rather than preferred seating and very long waits."

"Your renovations looks so wonderful….upscale to match the great food you serve. Wish we could be there for the Dockside event, but we will just have to wait until we arrive in time to vote in November. (Cape Cod in the summer is none too shabby either!)"

-Sylvia and Alex L

"We have eaten at the restaurant several times and enjoy the upstairs dining the best. We have always had great wait service but Mike was exceptional. We are now living in Florida full time and enjoy good seafood - something we lacked in NJ."

-S.H.

"It was the first time that my husband and I had been to the crow's Nest. What a wonderful surprise! Annette is an excellent server. The nice thing that we noted was that not only Annette, but all the people working there were genuinely friendly and attentive to customers. It's nice to go to a restaurant that has workers with positive attitudes along with great food!"

"We're stuck on the shrimp with scalloped potatoes, but enjoy your soups and salads. My husband and I were just commenting last week on how well run your restaurant is - how well your staff is trained and how clean you keep everything! One particular thing I like is your willingness to share your recipes!"

-M. W.

"The baby back ribs are the best we've ever eaten. We want to be notified when the chef is serving them each time! My hubby's BBQ ribs are fabulous, but we both agree yours are better."

-K.M., Nokomis, FL

"On Saturday I came in for dinner with a group of four. I was visiting my cousin. The restaurant was packed. We got Andrea as a waitress and I just had to tell you that she was amazing. She was incredibly busy and yet managed to make us feel like she had all the time in the world to tend to our dining needs. The food was fantastic, but the service made the entire experience perfect. My cousin and I have have both worked in the food/beverage field so we have a better understanding of how difficult it is to do what you do. We were amazed that Andrea handled everything so well. I would've been overwhelmed and yet she was totally together. I just wanted to thank you for a lovely time."

-C. C., Chicopee, MA

"We are visitors for the UK and found your restaurant through you web cam. We have been back to your restaurant every time we visit the USA and have never been disapointed. The best we have found in Florida, we will be back."

-R.C.

"We came to the Crow's Nest on Sunday for our VERY FIRST ever, visit. We were very pleased with the experience. We were seated promptly nearby the windows with a very pleasant view of the South Jetty. We both ordered Shrimp Scampi and shared dessert to celebrate my husband's birthday. We enjoyed the dinner and I told him "I would like to go back there for MY birthday!" Thanks for everything."

-L. D.

"Our waitress (Maggie) providing service was exemplary with great personality - went out of her way to see if chef would prepare an evening specialty for our lunch. Chef was accommodating and we thoroughly enjoyed our special lucheon. Thanks for the great service and food."
