"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!"

"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."

"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."
