Schenectady is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Schenectady follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Solid southern-style menu with a nice variety of options. Enjoyed the smoked brined half chicken and biscuits a ton. Wedge salad had a nice dill-forward dressing. Service was very friendly and attentive. Only critique is the price point was a bit expensive and the patio was buggy at sunset.

The food was indescribably amazing! Our server, Liam, was professional, friendly and felt like part of the family by the time we left. We just had to hug him and wanted to take him home! We were seated in the library which had wonderful atmosphere and was perfect for my grandson's 21st birthday. It was quiet and it was our own private space which we didn't have to rent. All the staff were kind and accommodating. I can't wait to go back!!!

I have been going to the Nest regularly and the service and atmosphere have not changed. I was just mildly disappointed about the biscuits changing (they are good, but used to be spectacular) and I made the mistake of ordering a steak at a chicken restaurant. I will still go, but I will also be making biscuits at home more often now that the ones here are a little lackluster.

Food was AMAZING except for the pork belly appetizer (dry&hard). I got the BBQ chicken and substituted the sweet potatoes. OMG were those sweet potatoes SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Highly recommend them! I also added the crab cake which was also very good. Service was great! It is a little dark inside, so bring a flashlight to see the menu. Otherwise, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!

Cute and vibrant atmosphere. Waitress was excellent and knew the menu to include specials. Parking is difficult. Decent drink menu that includes seasonal options. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries was delicious. The tiramasu french toast was ok. The topping was good but the lady fingers were not soaked so pretty hard. There was nothing in between the 2 pieces which made the bottom piece extremely dry. Not a bad experience by any means, just expected more.
