What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about Cuckoo's Nest:
We arrived for our 7:45 reservation and waited a full 20 minutes before even receiving water. After that, it took another 40 minutes for our server to bring our drinks. Overall, the meals were just mediocre, which was quite disappointing since we've been loyal customers of this restaurant for quite some time. View all feedback. What Katy likes about Cuckoo's Nest:
We had a lovely lunch with our dad at Cuckoo's Nest in their outdoor dining space. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and we will certainly return. The only downside was that the outdoor area felt a bit stuffy since it was mostly enclosed, with only half of the roof open. However, the restaurant can't really change the weather!

3 stars because the drinks were good. The price did not match taste. The fish in the fish taco was hard like frozen and rice. The Enchilada plate was very dry....
