Eagles Nest Event Venue - York

The food was good but not exceptional. I really enjoy the location and ambiance, especially the nice outdoor seating! Considering the prices, I would give it a 3-star rating. If the dishes were $10 cheaper, it might have earned 4 stars. They should focus on using fresh, locally-sourced produce in season. The house salad, which was only iceberg lettuce, could definitely be improved. All five of us ordered seafood dishes, and they were just okay. The last time I visited (which was many years ago), I had the beef sandwich and it was delicious.

The calamari was served hot and arrived quickly. The fisherman's risotto was fantastic, just like during my previous visits. If you're looking for a great place to dine, this is the perfect spot! I highly recommend it—10/10.

I took my mother and grandmother here for Mother's Day last year, and we had an exceptional experience. However, after visiting again recently for lunch, I was disappointed. The food and atmosphere were great, but the service was HORRIBLE! It was a late lunch, and there were only five tables occupied, each with 2-3 people, yet the service was lacking. We were never checked on while eating and waited 30 minutes after finishing our meal without any visit from our server. After 35 minutes, we got up to request our check, and our server said she would bring it right away. Instead, we watched her and other staff members sitting at the bar, eating and drinking. After 45 minutes, we had to ask for our check again before finally leaving. I wish I didn't have to write this review, but if this is how customer service is handled, it’s a major letdown.

The restaurant has a nice ambiance and a lovely view, but sadly, our dining experience was disappointing. The Chesapeake chicken was overly stuffed, and the asparagus was excessively stringy. The grouper was soggy and lacking in texture, with a crab topping that had no flavor, paired with a dull sauce. My partner's filet with crab also fell short, as the crab was tasteless and filled with fillers, while the steak was tough, overcooked, and unseasoned. The calamari was likewise very tough, suggesting poor quality. Although my first drink order was correct, my second drink was mistakenly served as Coke instead of ginger ale. While the server was friendly, and I don't blame them, the hostess seemed a bit inflexible and appeared to be annoyed. I’m not sure how this restaurant has a 4.6-star rating; it feels like the reviews might be inflated. For the $200 we spent, I would definitely choose a different restaurant next time. On a positive note, the fries were quite good. However, there's no children's menu available, so it's not very kid-friendly.

We celebrated our anniversary dinner here, and it was amazing from start to finish. Every staff member was courteous and engaged with us during our visit. Our server, Ted, was fantastic and attentive throughout the entire experience. He was very knowledgeable and helped us choose our delicious meals. The food was genuinely delightful and satisfying. We were too full for dessert this time, but there’s always next time! I highly recommend this restaurant.
