4 stars
We ordered T-bone and a 3-course dinner (including salad, main course, and dessert). The portion was quite big so we shared as a family. T-bone was well cooked and the meat was tender.

The service was great and we enjoyed our dinner here. I gave 4 stars because it was a little pricey (which I totally understand because it was quite luxurious). Although there were still plenty of options in Fairmont lodge, the nook was the only place with no wait time.

Decor: European Hunting Lodge , exposed beams, vaulted roof, fully dressed table, comfortable chairs.
Service: Patchy. Table wasn't ready at reserved time, so a 15 min wait. Soft drink order was filled quickly, but wine order didn't arrive until one of our group chased it up. Water wasn't topped up at all during the meal. Waiter was friendly and well informed, but service was very slow. 1 hour from ordering entrees until we received them. Another hour before our mains were delivered (and we had to chase up the waiter to get them. We were told the delay was caused by the need to make more potato puree?). Asked for dessert to be brought as soon as the main course was delivered, and this was done, but by then, 2 members of our group had had given up and left.
Ambience: A major problem this night. The restaurant has no air conditioning, no windows and no fans. The outside temperature was 33⁰ C and the restaurant was oppressively hot and close. Surely the restaurant could have provided free standing fans to circulate the air, and ensured that cold water was provided at all times for the guests. Similarly it would have helped if the food could have been brought out in a more timely fashion so we could have been out of the heat more quickly. Dining here was significantly unpleasant because of this.
Menu: Reasonable range of interesting food, including Bison, steak, salads, etc
Food: Excellent! Beautifully cooked and presented, tasty, succulent.
Prices: Average for the quality of food
Recommendation: We'd eat here again, but only in winter and hopefully with faster service.

Our recent visit to The Nook Steak House was an experience that tested our patience but ultimately rewarded it with a delightful dining experience.

Upon arrival, we found ourselves waiting for approximately 15 minutes before someone attended to our table. While the initial delay was a bit off-putting, the subsequent service more than made up for it. The staff, once engaged, was attentive, friendly, and made genuine efforts to ensure our satisfaction throughout the meal.

As for the culinary aspect, The Nook truly excelled. The steak, cooked to perfection, was a carnivore's delight. Each bite was a flavorful journey, and the quality of the meat was evident. The menu offered a variety of cuts and accompaniments, providing options for every palate. we didn't like the chimichurri sauce it was to vinegary. But the mash potato pure was delicius.

The ambiance of The Nook complemented the dining experience, with a cozy and intimate setting that added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

While the initial service hiccup was noticeable, the attentive staff, coupled with the exceptional food quality, ultimately left us with a positive impression of The Nook Steak House. If you're willing to exercise a bit of patience, the reward is a memorable steakhouse experience that is worth savoring.

Our server Caitlin was incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and wine selection. The food was top notch. I had the rack of lamb and it was mouth wateringly good. Atmosphere is lovely. And again, our server Caitlin just went the extra mile to make everything amazing. We will be back.

We started with the beef tartar and crab cake. Shared the waygu (butchers cut). Their cocktails and kids menu is also fantastic! Our server was very friendly and gave us great menu direction. The live music and wood fire were very ambient. Would highly recommend The Nook during your stay at JPL.

My Aunt and I had a great birthday dinner at the Nook. Our waiter Carlos was very friendly and spirited. Our appetizers and steaks were delicious. Afterwards we were given complimentary dessert and Presco to celebrate the birthday. A memorable evening, thanks Nook staff!

We helped great friends celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary here last month. It was perfect in every way. The beautiful location could not be beat. The food was fantastic. And the staff, especially our waiter Faris, went above and beyond to make this celebration one to remember.
