Formerly Red Eagle, Hotel Nest is a local corner pub that has been resurrected as a mecca of fine dining. For foodies in the know, the list of names associated with the venue is dazzling; Paul Raynor (former executive chef at Joseph's at Werribee Mansion) has designed the contemporary menu, while Nick Dodds of Ezard and Gingerboy fame holds the role of general manager.
The public bar extends back from Nest's premier Victoria Avenue frontage, evoking a retro club room feel with leather settees and pony-skin rugs. The intimate dining room, by contrast, is like a classic parlour with crisp black-and-white table settings, tea lights and black crepe curtains, which lend a tone of calm sophistication. Here, diners can sample Raynor's adventurous delicacies, such as tempura zucchini flowers stuffed with Persian fetta; and twice-cooked pork belly with caramelised ginger and apple puree. Mains team the comfort of traditional pub fare with gourmet flair, with dishes such as duck magret on celeriac puree and baby vegetables; and roasted barramundi on crushed potatoes and sauce vierge.
The dessert menu is a modern journey through a cluster of old-fashioned favorites, such as creme brulee; fig tarte tatin with truffled honey and vanilla bean ice cream; or warmed chocolate fondant with griottine cherries and mascarpone cream. For a post-dinner digestif, head back to the bar for an Elderflower Fizz (Plymouth gin and elderflower cordial with lemon and soda) or something off the generous wine list.

Amazing Atmosphere: Tremendous Friday night!
What a great venue, filled with fabulous cocktails for all! Friday nights this is the place to be! We started the night with a wonderful, and mouth watering meal!
The service over dinner really was outstanding! After our dinner we thought we would follow it up with a drink or two while the dazzling bar tender completly satisfied our every need at the cocktail lounge!
Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we were blessed with fabulous tunes by the in house DJ!
The service was fast,attentive,warm and friendly! The Atmosphere was amazing and got better through out the evening,we could dance or talk and be heard if you felt the need.Perfect! Great work!
This is a place more people need to know about, and share the news around this is the new place to be!

Function service little to be desired.......
Just another typical place, food was good, drinks priced at normal expensive prices for type of place. I will say though, staff need to step up their game.
