The Nest Restaurant

Fredericksburg

We came here for Mother’s Day weekend celebration. All this time, I thought that this restaurant has closed. I soon found out that they only open Thursday to Sunday. From reviews, we learned that reservation is a must so D called in our spot a week before and by Thursday, our table was confirmed. We were dining at The Nest!

It's a quaint little cottage converted to a restaurant.

All entrees comes with complementary salad. I don;t know what's in this thing but it's one of the most divine salads I've had. It was crisp, clean and the dressing, which is suspect was olive oil and lemon and some herbs, was divine.

I had a rack of lamb which I thought was huge. I counted 9, yes, 9 ribs. I normally get about 4-5. As good as it was, I had to take the rest home.

At this point, we were thoroughly impressed by the service, food was served in astonishingly timely manner. We were blown away by the quality of the food, so far. We were actually full but we were intrigued with what they had fro dessert, so we asked for the dessert menu.

Profiteroles - tasted pretty much like the ones I make except that the ice-cream filling was home-made.

This is the highlight of the entire meal --- lavender ice cream with wine sauce , hence the wine glass.

Our server, Nicole, was nice enough to tell us that the wine sauce was a sweet redcution of pinot noir. No wonder I loved it. Beans had some and immediately reported that he was drunk. After one teaspoon!!! His liver constitution is definitely not same as mine, a huge genetic mishap….

Happy faces!

I’m so glad we discovered this place. Chalk up another favorite here in F-burg!
