Coming soon to 129 Church Street is the Cardinal's Nest American Bistro. The little eatery will offer lunch fare and affordable small plates in the evenings. They will be accepting Wesleyan dining cards in addition to usual forms of payment. Owner John Gecewicz grew up in Middletown and has returned from the New York City restaurant business to help out his aging mother here in Midletown. The Cardinal's Nest is in the former space of Cafe-Ology, which came and went pretty fast. Before Cafe-ology the space was occupied by Guiseppe's Pizza. The planned opening for The Cardinal's Nest is in the first week of September - watch for reviews after it opens.

The Cardinals Nest is now open! The food is the best that middletown has to offer and the atmosphere is friendly and exciting. You need to try the overstuffed quesadilla and don't miss out on the Bistro Burger. Great Sangria too!
My wife and I have eaten there several times since it opened. The food was very good, and the atmosphere is great. The owner bends over backwards to make sure everything is running properly and the customers are happy.
Local Kid giving his all! These are the places that the people of middletown should support! Always take care of your own!!
My family and I love the Cardinal's Nest too. The food is great and the staff is attentive and friendly. Nice wine list, too. I know that the owner needs to keep costs down, but it would be great if there were a wee bit more in the way of decor: some curtains? Placemats? Not so hard to come by. And it's a bit nippy in there sometimes -- a little bit of insulation around the windows would go a long way. All stuff that could be easily done. But really exceptional food! If you haven't tried it, do. By the way, we've been there when Wes is in session, and it's in no way a college bar. There are Wes kids there, but they're just enjoying the food the same as everyone else.
We went there last night for the first time. The food was very good and staff friendly. W'll go back. I agree we need to support local ownership.
