The Nest - Kimberley

Without a doubt, the best quality fare in the East Kootenay area. The food here is on par- if not better- than the food I’ve eaten at top rated restaurants in the Vancouver area or otherwise. This is not a place to go for a rushed dinner with your kids, this is where you go for a wine and dine experience with multiple courses and wine pairings. The wait for food may be longer than other restaurants at times, and for a very worthwhile reason, as each plate is made fresh from scratch to order. There’s no line cooks or teams on kitchen stations, it’s one chef fixing up every component of each plate himself, fresh to order, and made with an unbelievable amount of skill and technique. The decor is gorgeous, and Neil creates a warm and easy going atmosphere. I’ve never had food here that wasn’t perfectly cooked and delicious, and even ingredients I don’t usually care to eat have now been reintroduced to me as something I love. A well thought out menu with amazing food that’s always perfectly executed, I cannot praise this place enough. Below: scallops, tuna salad, (I believe pork chop), and then the prosciutto peach flatbread

I had such a lovely experience at The Nest. Treated myself on a day off and had a romantic dinner for one. The food was amazing, the place is small, intimate, simple yet elegant and the host Neill was wonderful. I will be back as often as I can while in the area.

AMAZING. Exquisite flavors. Top notch chef and individualized service. Love the total care to minimize waste with reservations and pre-orders. A slight adjustment to our fast paced way of living and so worth it. Especially enjoyed the Pear Gorgonzola Flatbread and bone marrow appetizer.

Absolutely LOVE these guys! Dine-in or catering, the food and service is Top Notch!! They are wonderful and I highly recommend them for catering or dine-in. Just make sure you make a reservation!! On a side-note, I REALLY got a kick out of reading the negative reviews. Too Funny!!!!!

Amazing brunch in all ways: flavour, presentation and service was all excellent. Very reasonable cost considering the quality of the dishes. Even a breakfast margarita and raspberry habanero cheesecake!! Will try dinner next time we are in the area.
