Portions generous and prices low for a recent lunch that was a gourmet delight.  The Field Greens Salad, dressed with a unique basil lime dressing tossed with toasted chopped pecans and crumbled cotija cheese was a treat.  The delicious soup of the day, Squash Cheese Soup, was just the right blend of squash in a light creamy soup base hinting of cumin and other delightful spices, topped with a sprinkling of chopped green onion and melted cotija cheese.  Special of the Day was Bowtie Pasta with Chopped Ham and Cream Sauce, finished with a generous sprinkling of blue cheese and chopped green onion.   The eclectic mix of the  pasta dish was a pleasant dining experience.  Finishing with Buttermilk Cheese Pie was a good decision.  The pie had the perfect crust, perfect consistency and full vanilla taste one would expect from a great pie.  The delightful crunch of the caramelized sugar topping was divine.  As always, The Dove's Nest offers a refreshing Orange Spice Iced Tea along with friendly, attentive, and efficient service.
