    Amazing food and service and the most beautiful sunsets. Love this place we go often for sure.

    We really liked the Nest. We went around sunset, and the view was great. My husband loved his steak dish, and our appetizers all were great. I kind of wish there was a different side with my scallops, but I thought they were good. Service was a littleeeeeee slow, but not intolerable. It's nice trying a new place around here, and we will definitely be returning!

    Water spots

    Food was good but the service was very slow. We arrived at 3:00pm on a Friday and did not leave until 5:45. We only had 2 drinks and two appetizers. My biggest complaint is when we went out to the parking lot the sprinklers were on and they were directly spraying my truck and all the cars around me on both sides of the isle. We had to wait for the sprinkler to move just so we could get in our truck. I just had my truck washed the day prior and a few water spots wouldn't bother me but the whole truck was covered in grayish color water spots. Sent an email and to the restaurant and received no response. I told them maybe they should wait till later at night or first thing in the am to water instead of later afternoon when the lot is filling up. Maybe even spend a few minutes fixing the direction they spray.

    Went for the 1st for a special birthday. It was great, real pretty restaurant, nice views. Started with the tuna app, while it was small is was delicious!! Tuna tender and seared perfectly, a lil seaweed salad and crisp wonton, very tasty. I had the lamb shank special with polenta, tender shank and delicious; the polenta was good with the sauce, Brussels were tender. Husb had the grouper with Boursin mashed, enjoyed. Others at the table had the grouper and the sea scallops which the caramelization took them to sexy with their risotto, loved it! Nordy our server did a great job.

    After cleaning out my uncle's condo at Island Dunes (sadly, he passed away), my husband and I decided to try The Nest at the Island Dunes Country Club, as my uncle and my mother both raved about it. Not only is it stunningly gorgeous, but it was the perfect way to end our visit on Hutchinson Island and to honor my uncle. He loved food, especially a good steak, and this is definitely the place to go! He would have LOVED the dinner we had last night. The staff is great and were so kind to us. They take fine dining to the next level and it is worth every penny. We finished every plate, which is rare for us. Were we stuffed at the end? Absolutely! Was it worth it? TOTALLY!

    A very enjoyable evening! Food was delicious, Daniel our server was great and fun to talk to.... Chris came and introduced himself to us and we wish him all the best .... And thanked him for painting a beautiful sunset sky for us!! Highly recommend The Nest

Located in a small shopping plaza, we probably drove by over a hundred times over the years and didn't even realize Nonna's was here. We were seated at a "bar table" overlooking the kitchen. This gave us the opportunity to look at everything people ordered. After ordering some great priced drinks we started with a Margarita Pizza. Really good with the "pure" taste I've experienced from better places in Chicago, New York and even Italy. The basil, tomatoes and cheese were tasted separately but came together so nicely. The crust was really good as well. We also ordered "zesty herb roasted chicken wings". They were good and had a nice flavor from the chili spices. Nonna's was packed but the service was excellent. We really have to also try Nonna's for dinner sometime. All I can say is "so many restaurants, so little time.

I'm not quite sure if this is supposed to be a restaurant with the option to play duck pins, or a place known for duck pins, but four lanes is not going to cut it, if they fill up even a quarter of the tables they have. Fortunately we had a small group, so one lane was sufficient. The group next to us utilized the other 3 lanes. Leaving no lanes left. I don't want to sound negative, we did have a blast, but we were very fortunate to come in right at opening time on a Saturday before it got busy. It was also, quite hard to eat on the little tables near the lanes, so I would advise grabbing a bigger table for food, along with a table near the lanes for just your drinks. The happy hour prices were pretty great! $5 a person to play a round of pins seemed reasonable, the drink options for myself didn't excite me, but my husband was happy to grab a few local brews from Frazier Creek! We tried the pretzel sticks and chips and guac. I would not get the guac again, I did like that it tasted fresh, without the preservative taste, but the chips...eek. The pretzel sticks I did not try, but my crew did enjoy them, along with their two dipping options! Which were a great deal on HH also! The option to play pool for free was great and the arcade was a nice extra touch for entertainment! We will be back to play pins!

We also ordered the happy hour pretzel and guac, which were both good and added to what started as a positive visit. When we arrived, I specifically asked about the bowling policy, including whether there were any limits on time or on the number of games we could play. I was told there were no limits and that we would simply pay per game. Our group of five played quickly, and our first game took less than 30 minutes. When the game ended, we asked to play a second game and were told we could not because someone was waiting. That was disappointing because it was different from what had been explained to us upfront. Had we been told that additional games depended on whether others were waiting, we would have understood and set expectations accordingly. We are reasonable, and we would have been fine limiting ourselves to two games out of consideration for other guests. The frustrating part is that because we arrived early and finished first, we ended up being the ones disadvantaged. Our kids spent the first game learning and were excited to play a second round. Meanwhile, guests who arrived after us appeared to have a better chance of playing longer simply because they were still in the middle of their first game. I would return because the place is nice, the food we had was good, and it has a lot of potential. The main issue was not the venue itself. It was the lack of clarity and consistency in how the policy was communicated and applied. Better staff training around lane policies and customer expectations would make a big difference.

They ALL speak to everybody whether they know you by name or not. No cell phones are allowed by the bar staff behind the bar is probably one of my favorite rules. The scenery is breathtaking, from the water you can see the boats come and go in and out from the jetty. There is Derecktor Shipyard located at the end so there are many impressive boats coming in and out for repairs. And the sunsets are amazing! Food is great and plentiful. Prices are VERY reasonable. I like the fact that they don't charge a service fee for anything. Heaters and roll down windows are used when necessary. Watching patrons playing the ring-toss game is fun (some of the locals are very competitive). The bar staff is GREAT! A MUST stop for visitors in the area. The nightly music (except on Sundays) and their weekend day music is exceptional. The only very minor complaint I have is the employee uniforms. Black shirts do not go well in the dead of summer with no breeze. The girls need some sort of a hat to cover their heads in the middle of the windy winter days, also, a heavier hoodie. Those thin ones just don't cut it.

    My family and I visited Square Grouper on Saturday, May 2, in the afternoon, around 1:30-2:00 PM. I…read morewas with my elderly parents, who are in their 80s, and our two small dogs, a Maltese and a Chihuahua, both around 10 lbs. One of them is my seizure alert dog. Upon arrival, we were questioned about the dogs in a way that felt inappropriate. I was asked whether they were service animals, and when I confirmed that one was, I was further questioned about my medical condition, which made me extremely uncomfortable. We were eventually allowed in. I was unaware of the dog policy and was not informed that dogs were not allowed, these people don't even allow children I later saw (not family friendly). I rejoined my parents and we sat at a table off to the side, away from other guests, as we are always mindful that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. I ordered drinks and food at the bar, then stepped away briefly to use the restroom. The bartender (Olivia) was dismissive and made me wait a long time to order, not very inviting. When I returned, a manager approached our table in an aggressive and confrontational manner and insisted that we leave, claiming the dogs were barking. This was not accurate, neither of the dogs barked. We were shocked by the way the situation was handled, especially because there was no attempt to speak to us calmly or respectfully. It was a bit savage, something we aren't used to. When I asked what we should do since we had already ordered, I was rudely told the food would be packed up and brought outside. I went to the bar to cancel the order instead and asked for the manager's name, but the bartender refused to provide it. The manager then came to the bar and confronted me in a rude and dismissive tone. When I tried to calmly address the issue, he became even more confrontational and started to laugh, extremely unprofessional and disrespectful - trying to instigate the situation even more. I told him I would not lower myself to his level of communication and that the situation lacked basic customer service. After that, his behavior became even more aggressive. As we prepared to leave, the manager stood by the entrance watching us in a way to try to intimidate us, then followed closely behind us as we exited. Again, I was with my elderly parents, no respect and again, savage low-class behavior. The situation could have been handled with courtesy, professionalism, and respect. Instead, we were made to feel embarrassed, unwelcome, and intimidated. I did research on this restaurant and found that a blind veteran and his service dog were attacked and there was a big lawsuit just 2 years prior. The door guy attacked and injured one of our veterans, blind, over a service dog policy is disturbing. I hope that whoever reads this, decides not to come to this establishment, there are several reviews of how rude the workers are and it's unacceptable that the owner allows ratchid behavior. Read all the negative comments, this place is terrible!!!
