    Chocolate Crunch Cake
    John M.

    One of our go-to neighborhood gems. Chef Daniel Lindsey continues to update the menu often. The steak tartare appetizer is a must try, as is the Chopped Salad. Try the new Chocolate Crunch Cake! There is an open floor plan, with patio and party spaces, and a full bar, often full by 6:30 pm. The service was very good at the bar. The wine list is large, with both screw-tops and corked bottles.

    I went for an early birthday dinner and can only describe the meal as something magical. We started off with the charred shishito peppers and okra with horseradish sauce. This was the most "okay" part of the meal as there's nothing much extra or special you can do to peppers and okra. They were good for what they are. Next was the dinner rolls. I would pay a ridiculous amount of money for the recipe to this bread. I want it everyday. It has a little sweetness to it like a Hawaiian roll does but not as sweet. They were fantastic. For entrees I got the mixed grille which had a tri tip steak I believe, lamb sausage, and pork tenderloin. Everything was absolutely amazing. The lamb sausage was incredible, but obviously if you don't like a little "gamey" taste not for you. The steak was great and seasoned/cooked perfectly. The pork tenderloin was juicy and well seasoned. The creamed corn and charred zucchini on the plate was also amazing. Every bit was incredible. The filet steak had a nice charred/wood fired taste to it, seasoned perfectly. The mushrooms were extremely savory and buttery. The Brussels were cooked to perfection and also had the wood fired taste. Mashed potatoes were extremely creamy and buttery. The entire meal was just delightful. They brought out some bourbon vanilla ice cream as a birthday treat and I want to know where they source it from. Server made some great recommendations for drinks and food alike. Very educated on the menu. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside, it feels like an old church or dark lit castle or something. There are candles EVERYWHERE. It's really a cool environment. Overall incredible experience and I can't believe I slept on this place for so long.

    Pork Chop
    Allie D.

    Wow! The space is stunning, for an upscale restaurant to be both cozy, beautiful and not intimidating is impressive. From the hosts the person clearing the table everyone was so kind, but our waiter was exceptional. He guided us in all of our food selections in a non-overwhelming way. We started with the bacon wrapped quail, beet salad and apple + cheddar biscuits, for mains we had the beef cheek pot roast and pork chop, then ended with the chocolate crunch cake. Again, wow! We felt everything was priced super well and portions were generous. I will be dreaming about the beef cheek and quail. Our only grievance (if you can call it that) was the pork chop was slightly overcooked. But in our book if you can overcook a pork chop and it's still 8/10 you're fabulous. You gotta stop in and have a meal, we will be back.

    My husband and I visited on a Sunday evening for my birthday dinner with our three kids (ages 4, 3, and 1). I've been here at least 10 times over the past eight years. Parking was easy, with plenty of street parking nearby. We had a 5 p.m. reservation and arrived around 4:52. The doors were locked, and although an employee was standing just inside, we were asked to wait outside until exactly 5. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but it was about 95 degrees, I'm eight months pregnant, and we had three young kids with us. That wasn't a great first impression, and I think if reservations begin at 5, guests should be able to come inside a few minutes early. Once the doors opened, we were seated promptly. They had a high chair ready for our youngest, and our server was excellent throughout the meal. The restaurant has a trendy, upscale atmosphere, and while our oldest did great, I think it's a better fit for adults than families with very young children. One thing I really appreciated was that when we realized they only had glass cups available, our server found paper coffee cups for the kids. It was a small gesture that made the meal much less stressful. The sausage biscuits are still outstanding and easily my favorite item on the menu. The steak was good, but I wasn't impressed with the Cobb salad. Our kids shared the fried chicken and mac and cheese, and my husband ordered the pot roast. Our bill came to about $190 before tip. Overall, the meal was good, but it didn't feel like the special dining experience I remembered from previous visits. Between the rough start, the prices, and food that was good but not particularly memorable, I don't see us returning anytime soon. The service was kind, but for this price point, I expected more.

    5th & Taylor is one of the top restaurants in Germantown. This visit was getting some food before visiting bars on 6th Ave. This is an upscale atmosphere with an open concept. There is a nice, long bar down the right side. They also apparently havea private room larger parties can book. I have not been in there. Service was impecable. Asked for suggestions of things I had not tried and she recommended the bacon wrapped quail and the beef tartare. Honestly one of the best tartares I have ever had and currently my favorite in Nashville. The quail was also esquisite. Kudos on both counts. I will definitely get a chance to return here at some point.

    We came here one evening for dinner during our trip through Nashville. We had a big surprise. Walking in from the plain exterior to the exuberant interior was a shock to the system. It's kind of industrial warehouse, it's kind of greenhouse, it's kind of British Museum, it's a lot of things all at once, but above all it was very chic and cozy. I felt relaxed and at home. The service was excellent, too. We had a server that was beyond friendly. A local musician, they all are in Nashville, she was kind, friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu, and made good recommendations for us. And the food all came out nice and timely. As for the food, it was the best part. We ordered way too much, because it all sounded so good. We started off with the sausage cheddar biscuits. Served with an apple jam, four sliders filled with sausage and sharp cheddar. It was pull-apart style, a lot of fun, and every component was packed with flavor. We then moved on to the dish of the night, the duck wings / spiced honey. Ummm, just look at those things. Tender, crispy duck wings, tasted so good, so unctuous. And they're also swimming in a spiced honey for dipping or drizzling. I was shocked. I could have just eaten a dozen of these and be happy. For my entree, I got the prime beef ny strip (served with grilled onion, herb butter, and family-style mashed potatoes). This thing was cooked to a perfect medium rare. A nice char on the outside, perfect seasoning, just an A+ dish. These people know how to do steak. I also got to try the short rib / delicata squash, baby turnip, date compote. Dude. Melt in your mouth, falling apart off the fork, very tender and delicious. Loved the unique accompaniments. The earthy sweetness from the compote went well with the short rib, and the squash was a unique squash, which made the plate very pleasing to the eye. We ended the meal with a bang, too, the fried apple pie / miso caramel, vanilla bourbon ice cream. This is a very good dessert! The hot dessert with the cold ice cream, the bubble caramel, the crispy pie dough, the ooey gooey apple pie filling, it was just luxury. The touch of bourbon adds another level, and the miso does, too. Don't fear the miso. You don't taste it. It just added a layer of umami. So good. Overall, this was wow, one of those restaurants that makes me rethink all other five star ratings I've ever given. I wanna give this place six stars. I promise you, if I ever come to Nashville again, I will come back here.

    Short rib
    April P.

    Went to 5th & Taylor to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was okay and definitely felt like a nice treat meal. Everything came out looking beautiful, it actually tasted good too. We had the qual as starters it was good flavorful nice sweet and salty balance. My gf and I ordered the roasted beet dish was also really good and had a nice mix of flavors and texture with the onions, pecans, and goat cheese. This is something we don't often see on a menu. For entrees, the meat dishes were the stars. The short rib was tender, rich, and super comforting.m. The mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and one of my favorite things on the table. The mashed potatoes were gooey almost like glue it went perfect with everything else. I'm not sure if I recommend it. This is the only item on the menu you can get unlimited. I do wish they allow you to select a different sides instead the whole table shared the mash potatoes. The whole place has an upscale feel without feeling too formal, so it still felt comfortable. The hostess were friendly and greats you as you walk in. Our server was just okay she didn't really check in on us much we had to get her attention multiple times to get drink refills. Overall, I thought it was an okay spot for a nice dinner in Nashville, I'm not sure what the hype was about. Ps if it's your birthday you do get a dessert but it's not free.

    Pros: Wow, ambiance was so cool. It was simultaneously like being inside of a giant warehouse and being in a nightclub built for affluent vampires. I can't explain why, but it's true. Service was really cool. Our server was just the coolest chick. Very friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She helped us pick a good meal. And the food, also wow. Everything was cooked so well, was packed with so much flavor, and the dessert was one of the best I've ever had. Cons: Absolutely none. Tips: If you want the best night, you have to order the duck wings, and you have to get the fried apple pie for dessert.

    We had a pretty good experience at 5th and Taylor. This restaurant has pretty mixed reviews from various of people. The drinks were good, food was pretty decent but mostly I liked the decor. I think a lot of people do come here for that ambiance. The bartender was very accommodating. Definitely want to come back again.

    Meatloaf sandwich
    Robyn J.

    You just can't go wrong sitting at the bar at 5th and Taylor. We were able to snag bar seats on NYE around 8 pm. It was the 3rd stop on our pub crawl. We shared the meatloaf sandwich which is EPIC! With the mashed potatoes, it's so much food! It would be a fun appetizer for 4 people. It's pretty rich and filling, so just a few bites is plenty. Such a great vibe here!

    Brown butter chocolate torte

    We came here for a family dinner for 6 on a Tuesday night. They have a small parking area but we found easy street parking (at least on a weekday). We had reservations at 6pm & were sat immediately. Staff was friendly & attentive the whole night. The quality of the food was good. Exactly what I'd expect for a more casual upscale restaurant. We ordered the bacon wrapped quail, tomato pie, shishito peppers, halibut, scallops, ny strip, grasshopper pie, brown butter chocolate torte, & ice cream. Entrees are served with a shareable side of mashed potatoes which were really good. One note is the food took quite a long time from the time of ordering to get it on the table. We waited 30-45 minutes. Even the desserts took 15-20 mins to come out.. Overall, it was a good experience. Recommend for a more upscale date night if you want a nicer ambience with a safe American-based menu. Just make sure you have the evening to wait.

    Zucchini Fritters w/ dates dill yogurt
    Alexis G.

    First time here and I would go back to try more items on the menu! It's such a cute space in the inside with a patio area for seating. Loved the giant wall mirrors and artwork. The service was pretty well overall everyone that came to our table was pleasant. Our server was Parker and overall she was great, could sense mood shift when we had some questions w our order delay & salad . Our entrees took a bit to come out because of my salad remake. The drinks we ordered were good as well. Kudos to bartender. I'm going to dive right in: duck wings were realllyyyy good no complaints at all!! One of the favorites. Nice sweet sauce. Florida rock shrimp was my fav. Reminds you of a nice shrimp scampi minus the lemon, more garlicky. The bread was good with the sauce. My top fav. Short rib was very tender and good. The asparagus was cooked well too perfect crunch and grill taste. Not a fan of dates but it does add a sweetness if you like. Also came with family style mashed potatoes and they were very good as well. We also order the green beans , heavy lemon profile. zucchini fritters surprised me. Not in a bad way, I wasn't expecting a ball so the zucchini was like chopped up inside w/ another mixed. No much described on the menu. sausage cheddar biscuits were pretty over powering with the sausage , I enjoyed the sauce on the plate with it. High pork flavor, biscuits were soft & moist. chopped salad was very copped. It had peppers, radish, mushrooms , cucumbers & cheese and a lot of the chopped items are not listed on the menu, had to send back for a less chopped. I felt it was more chopped items than lettuce. The new salad was great & presentation is nice on how it comes out. Lettuce also wasn't the freshest but it was fine.

    Haddock

Our server, Cody, truly made the experience unforgettable. Hands down, he is the best server I've ever had anywhere. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the menu, explain the daily specials, answer all of our questions, and offer recommendations based on what we were looking for. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality elevated our entire dining experience. We ordered the pancakes, omelets, and of course, the famous biscuits. The biscuits absolutely deserve the hype! They were warm, buttery, fluffy, and practically melted in your mouth. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious, and the omelets were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. One thing I really appreciated is that while Loveless Cafe offers a supper menu in the evenings, breakfast is served all day. That's perfect for anyone like me who believes breakfast tastes good no matter what time it is! It's easy to see why Loveless Cafe has become such a Nashville staple. Between the warm Southern hospitality, outstanding service, and incredible food, this was an experience we'll be talking about long after breakfast. If you're visiting Nashville, or even if you're a local who hasn't been yet, put Loveless Cafe at the top of your list. And if you're lucky enough to have Cody as your server, you're in for an exceptional experience!

    3.5 Definitely a…read more"have to try" spot in Nashville. The vibe was amazing and it's perfect for a cute little date night. We started with the meatball skewers, which were great, and the sauce that came with them was perfection. I also have to mention the Cabernet, one of the best glasses of wine I've had in a while. The one drawback was the dinner menu felt a little limited on options. That said, what we got delivered. My fiancé had the strip steak, which was really good, and I got the pork, which was also amazing. Overall a really good experience. The 3.5 is mainly because we spent $250 and still left a little hungry. Other than that, a really cool place worth checking out.

    Even before my current trip to Nashville, I'd been a fan of Husk. I forget if it was independent…read moreresearch, Breanne in my ear about her trip to the Charleston location, or it just showing up on my feeds that put it on my radar first, but I've been telling myself this is a must-visit restaurant. I even had a chance to go before, when Toby and I had made plans in 2020 to come to the city. Obviously, we know what happened then. I think it was worth the wait. I loved their whole take on Southern cuisine. From the confit wings in Alabama white sauce to their Bucksnort trout, to their Heritage pork--everything tasted delightful. Admittedly, the bright green sauce and saturated Carolina gold rice looked a little funny to me. But once I had my first bite I thought it was heavenly. The server was impeccable. He was courteous, quick, and helpful. I had questions about the menu and concerns about if the arrangement of dishes ordered were too much. But he made the whole meal better with his suggestions and assurances. Even the other incidental staff were well-trained, filling the water and always assisting with the experience. The ambiance was picture-perfect. Obviously the place is permeated with charm and class in equal measure. It felt like we were eating in our well-off friend's home and had put together a spread of time-tested country favorites but with a twist. From the decor to the herb and vegetable garden outside, I felt super welcomed and comfortable. Yes, Husk was a success. I'm a changed man because of the experience. Sufficed to say I will be recommending it to even more people than before and will be waiting like a puppy at the window back home for the next opportunity to come back to Nashville and/or the other locations for my next meal.

    When you walk in, Arnold's has a menu of over 75 items that was a bit intimidating. After a…read moreminute, I focused on the day's menu and that brought the options down by quite a bit. They're known for their roast beef but there are so many things that most people want to try so they offer half portions of most of their proteins. The setup is cafeteria style, where you grab a tray and ask each server which item you want. I was completely lost, but the servers were really nice and helped us through the process. The food: 1/2 order of roast beef - this is what they're known for, so if you eat beef, order this one. Tender, very meaty, with tons of jus. Blackened salmon - I'm always skeptical of seafood in a cafeteria setting, but I had a bite of my friend's dish and this was perfectly cooked. Fried Chicken - crispy skin, tender meat, well seasoned. Turnip Greens - flavorful, not mushy Cornbread - solid Desserts - Chess Pie and Pecan Pie - sweet, but as expected. Pretty good Cauliflower hash - very cheesy, could pass for potato hashbrowns but a little drier. It was ok. Creamed corn - way too sweet for my preference Arnold's is a fun time. They paid homage to Masters of the Universe while we were there. The live action movie playing on one TV and the animated series playing on another. There's even a free arcade game emulator out in the front lobby. Arnold's approach to food is no frills. They crank out comfort food that is reminiscent of a home kitchen, in a good way - nothing crazy, just the classics.

I had 1/2 dozen raw oysters to start. My server helped me select which one we thought I would like best and they were amazing with the migionette. So fresh & cold & delicious. My son got the crispy brussels sprouts for his starter and devoured them. They were delicious with the best balance of flavors & textures. Also a nice generous portion. Wedge salad was so tasty. Entrees were scallops with the most delicious succotash, and rabbit ragu which was absolutely delicious. I can't say enough good things about our food and experience. Can't wait to come back!

They were packed when we arrived for our reservation and we were sat right away! The waitress was so kind and went over the menu and how they do there meats after knowing this was our first time at there. They have a butcher on site, their seafood is brought in daily and house made pasta. She said they even have a pastry chef. But we didn't make it to dessert this time. We ordered the cornbread appetizer that comes with hot honey and whipped butter. It's served in a little dish like a cake. It was tender with whole corn on the inside. We didn't realize they also bring complementary gluten-free cheese, puffs turnovers, and mini biscuits . Those were out of this world!! The cheese puffs pull apart and have white cheddar inside! The biscuits were perfect!! Our main course was the club carbonara pasta( house made pasta with chicken and bacon) and the steak frites (with chimichurri sauce). I got the Sauvignon Blanc it was fruity and fresh! The place was upscale and seemed to be a lot of larger parties. We will definitely be back.

We came here for late dinner, 8.30 and this place was not packed which is very surprising, bc they play music jazz music, and you can have a lovely dinner and still hear ppl talk. But the best thing is their pork chop !!! This is a must get. Thank me later. We got the pork chop medium well bc we like our pork more cooked bc ain't no one trying to get salmonella from undercooked pork. But it was sooo good, has a nice char on the outside, and perfectly seasoned. Additionally, it sits on top of a bed of allegedly "rice" according to our server. But to me, it reminded me of a tendon brisket texture. I would've bet money on it too. But delicious with sweet peach sauce that came with it. For the prime rib, it was a huge cut of meat, but it was lacking flavor, needed some more salt and some rosemary to bring out the meat. Both main dishes can serve 2 people each, so worth the price and food. Definitely come back! And a shout out to our server Cole, who was great
