ONE NIGHT… …three friends, semi-sober, Josh, Jeremy, and Shahab, talked about opening a restaurant that they would enjoy going to. They imagined a place that would be casual, inviting, and warm with great food and service. Even more importantly, they envisioned a place that would feel like home where they could take their family and friends (including their own children, at least sometimes). Now, with their dream coming true, their goal is to pass this same welcoming feeling onto their guests. Josh, Jeremy and Shahab would like to thank you for joining us and welcome you to the Nest Family. …After 3 great years the saga of Nest continues. Shahab the OLDEST of the 3 partners has decided to start working on another dream, retirement. He has parted ways with Josh and Jeremy in order to begin a new life of relaxation, snorkeling and “yachting” around the islands leaving the guys here to do all the work….Some things Never Change! As the good times at Nest roll on we wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors and will continue to keep all three partner’s dream alive. If you see him roaming around the restaurant and he offers to buy you drink, remind him he now must pay for it
