| - I have been to the Crow's Nest on several occasions, mostly for lunch or after work for Happy Hour since moving from Downtown to this end of town for work. First I have to point out, in this little restaurant/bar that could probably use a little bit of a face lift has such a lovely view. In the summer time or warmer months it is glorious to go outside and see the various boats the view of the river, the wonderful breeze blowing from the water to cool you. Speaking of the outside the deck is great. It is quite a selling point to come here just to enjoy that and a cocktail.
So as prior mentioned I have been here a few times, but have only eaten here for lunch. Let me start by saying that they have a somewhat extensive menu. Lots of different varieties of salads, soups, sandwiches, pasta, and appetizers. Plus I am pretty sure you can order a dinner entree too if that is what you desire for lunch.
Another bonus would be their lists of specials. I love going to a restaurant and seeing a special or two listed that give you a completely different option to chose from. Not to mention, these specials are served with not one but two sides! And where so many restaurants don't include items like soup or salad as a side (*you know the side options are fries, chips, and applesauce) The Crows Nest does! This I love because they have had some really different kinds of soups on the menu that you can add as a side, and I am such a soup gal in the winter!
As for the food. I will admit I was very unsatisfied with my soup on my last visit. The french onion soup had a piece of bread covered in cheese floating on top of what was one of the most saltiest soups I have ever eaten, or attempted to. Really just couldn't do it. It was close to licking a beef flavored salt cube, just gross.
Now my wrap was quite nice on the other had. It was a grilled chicken with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Very tasty. My friends meal was also received in high regards as it was a fried bologna sandwich. It came on two honking pieces of Italian bread slathered in coleslaw and french fries. It also had what I think was American cheese on it. Now this sandwich under 9 bucks also came with two sides, and was big enough to feed two people.
I know I have been here and have had really good food and then just some average or not so good stuff. But there is still much to try on the menu and the bar and view make this place an enjoyable stop. Not to mention it is within minutes of my work so throw in convenience. One thing I am definitely not a fan of, is at happy hour they play music, like really REALLY loud. You would think the place was packed with 20 somethings dancing like they are in a club, not the more mature crowd that actually is there. I have asked several times for them to turn it down, to which they don't particularly like doing or will do just a very small amount. Hey I am hip and all but when I can't hear my friends sitting right next to me in a place that has less than 15 people in it that can hold 100+ I tend to get a little frustrated. Anyhow I suggest giving The Crow's Nest a try. Some unique things to try and that view is just fabulous.
