    We enjoyed a relaxing dinner in this trendy spot in downtown Nashville before we hit the symphony. Great find. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the Chilean sea bass and the pork dumplings. Both were good but the dumplings could have been less chewy. The drinks were timely and they have a nice selection of wine by the glass. We will be back and I highly recommend this classic vibe before a special event or date night.

    Chicken Milanese. First time good choice!

    Great bar experience.. staff attentive engaging and all around good experience.. Several TVS to watch sports.

    This spot is in a downward spiral. I literally sat there with my food that had issues for 10 minutes without a soul making eye contact. Finally decided to just eat cause I am an out of town we and was hungry. Then finished my meal and waited some more. Finally someone came by and asked if I was finished and I said that I was unhappy but done with the food. She took my food and pointed me to the check from the cup / didn't care that I was unhappy. I waited awhile and then had to literally flag someone down to get someone to acknowledge me and asked for a manager. After a few minutes a manager showed up by my elbow and just said "yes?". Confusing interaction but okay. I explained the story and she said she would comp my meal. I explained that that wasn't the point at all and I wanted to discuss the items more and she just said she would be right back and disappeared. Yeah, the level of care and service and food? Downhill. Do not go here if you care about quality.

    I met up with a friend for brunch for the first time. We had reservations, but it seems you might be able to be seated rather quickly without one. The bar seemed to fill up fast. It's your typical chain steak house, but the seating is comfortable. Love: Eggs BrickTop's (cheesy casserole with the right amount of eggs & sausage); roasted potatoes (seasoned well & crisp); huevos rancheros (friend enjoyed this); chocolate chip cookie (warm with crispy edges & cold vanilla ice cream) Like: server (kind, helpful)

    Smoked Salmon

    Ambiance | Salmon | cocktails Ambiance - A perfect spot for date nights and special occasions, this restaurant features rich dark wood accents, dim lighting, and an intimate ambiance. Elegant yet cozy, it sets the stage for meaningful conversations and memorable dining experiences. Salmon - The salmon dish was solid--nicely cooked but not particularly memorable. Served with steamed broccoli and creamy mashed potatoes, it made for a well-rounded, satisfying meal. Good overall, but lacked the standout flavor to make it truly great. Cocktails - The lemon margarita was a refreshing twist on the classic--bright, citrusy, and well-balanced with just the right kick. It was smooth, easy to sip, and a solid choice for those who enjoy a zesty, flavorful cocktail. Pro tip: make a reservation during peak hours. Why not 5 stars: the service is a bit slow in terms of seating. We went 5-10 minutes before our reservation, waited 15-20 minutes only to see the restaurant was maybe 60% full. Overall, the service, while helpful was slow. They did a nice touch of giving my wife a congratulations note for her graduation dinner we did at her restaurant where everyone on staff signed her card.

    Crab Cake

    Fantastic restaurant, very accommodating to our last minute party of 10, got us in and the wait staff was phenomenal. The apps, had a little bit of everything deviled eggs 10/10, calamari 9/10 chips and dip 9/10 bacon 11/10, Caesar salad 9/10, overall fantastic flavor and perfect in presentation. Moving to dinner, I love crab cakes and these cakes were stiffed with crab and some of the best I've had, kudos to the chef! The drinks were spectacular pineapple martini's good banana bread manhattans phenomenal, had a glass of wine which was a red and teaming with flavor. Dessert was great carrot cake was moist and the icing was sweet and complemented the cake, key lime pie perfect. This place could have gotten 6 stars. Very good and worth every penny. I'll be back. Thanks

    Lobster bisque
    Abigal S.

    Stopped in for a late lunch with my partner. Surprisingly busy but cozy environment. We waited a bit to be served but the server made up for it with excellent service. I started with the lobster bisque which was delicious. I then ordered a crab cake which was pretty good. I wasn't expecting as fresh tasting of a crab cake but was pleasantly surprised. My partner ordered the steak frites and he enjoyed the meal. Great spot for a lunch date!

    BrickTop's is always just so consistent. I haven't been here in awhile but returned and it was great as I always remember. Made a reservation on Thursday for Friday at 6pm. Arrived a few minutes early and were greeted warmly and immediately taken to our table. Server brought us menus and gave us the specials menu. (Surprisingly the sushi here is not bad!) i ordered fries as an appetizer which came out in about 5 minutes. We ordered our entrees a few minutes later which came out in about 15 minutes. Everything was as ordered and tasted great. We ate everything and enjoyed ourselves. Really recommend! It can be a little noisy but it's not so bad that you can't hear the others at your table. Also - parking situation is pay for parking, but it was $1.75 per hour for us on the street. I'm not sure if the lot is pay or not but there weren't any spots in the lot.

    We made a reservation for brunch and were seated outside pretty quickly after checking in, It was such a nice day to sit outside. The food was absolutely delicious -- everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. It quite busy, but it seemed like the surrounding tables were being tended to except ours. After we ordered the donuts to start, our waiter never came back to check on us or refill our waters until our entrees arrived. We had to ask another server for water and to get our waiter so I could order a drink. I'd definitely come back for the food, but I hope for a much better service experience next time.

    Excellent food! Very busy!! Good drinks! We had a lovely lunch and our server was super cool!

    Today I ordered the Shanghai shrimp to go and the waiter said the portions have been recently changed from 12 to 6 shrimp per appetizer. Since they cut the portion sizes is it fair to charge the same for half as much food?

    Of course not! There should be options for the customers in ordering and nothing has increased 100%!

    The answer is...the answer. Eric R. randomly selected Answer on a list of restaurants we scrolled…read morethrough to make a reservation for on our first night in Nashville this week. It is tucked in a neighborhood in the West End, and most people were surprised we found it or had heard of it as non-locals. It is a very popular spot. We arrived 20 minutes early and snagged the last parking spot in the lot behind the restaurant. Eric R. wanted to sit outside, so we were directed to wait at the bar until a table opened up. I got the cucumber sage yuzu spritz mocktail, and Eric R. got a local amber beer. Our table was ready within 10 or 15 minutes, so we migrated to it for dinner. Our server was helpful in providing recommendations. We started with three shareables: the mussels in lemongrass serrano beer broth and grilled bread, tempura long-stemmed artichokes on Calabrian chile mascarpone, and the lamb lollipops with pearled cous cous. I tasted the lamb, and it was heavenly, like melt-in-your-mouth tender but with a lot of caramelization. That was really Eric R.'s choice so I let him eat the majority of it. I really enjoyed the mussels and the artichokes! Everything was hot and delicious. I was sipping broth with a mussel shell when the bread ran out, and the host came out with more bread for us! It was so good. We asked to see a dessert menu. Eric R. had a tough choice between carrot cake and blondie with caramel ice cream, but was steered toward the blondie and did not regret it. I asked what the house made ice cream was for the day, and it was coconut matcha with a white chocolate shell topping. That sounded so perfect, and it was AMAZING. The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was lovely, the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious! That is the answer!

However, I can't in good conscience do that, because this was a meal we will remember for a long time coming. I found answer just by chance on Resy, and decided to book it because the reviews were positive. We were blown away by the food. We started with the mushroom appetizer- so so delicious. I appreciated that it wasn't overly cheesy, and the leeks actually brought a lot to the dish. Next, we tried the special, which was a Thai curry snapper, and the hot chicken dish. My goodness were we unprepared for just how perfect and delicious these would be. I absolutely couldn't get enough of the peanut slaw paired with the chicken. My fiancé is pretty picky when it comes to fried chicken, and he said this was the 2nd best fried chicken he's ever had. The flavor of the curry was also very interesting- it was pineapple forward but also had a slight kick. Finally, the service was efficient, quick, and so friendly. We were seated right away, and the restaurant was lively but not too loud. I would definitely recommend a reservation, we went on a Thursday night and it was quite busy! However, it seems like they have a decent amount of bar seating available too. We're not local to Nashville, but we will definitely be back one day. Will also be recommending to everyone go try it!!

Now the standouts... the blueberry cheesecake was a 10/10....so good, rich, and flavorful. The potatoes with queso at the bottom were also amazing, definitely a 9/10. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which I really enjoyed it's slightly on the sweeter side, but still a 9/10 for me. My son got the animal-style burger and absolutely loved it, he gave it a 10/10. On top of the food, the staff was really kind and the customer service was great. I even had the chance to meet the owner, who was incredibly sweet.

The happy hour menu is extensive: beer, wine, cocktails plus a great food selection with lots of vegetarian options. I tried the Sunset Margarita with pomegranate juice. Delicious with a real kick! For food, I enjoyed the hummus with vegetables topped with a fantastic pesto, and the Margherita pizza, which had a very thin crust and wonderful flavor. My friend ordered the pepper jack grits and green chili mac and cheese, both incredibly comforting with good heat. From the regular menu, I also tried the pear cocktail, which was absolutely delightful and such an original flavor profile. Seating was comfortable and relaxed, and service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to plan a small gathering there for next week. The manager immediately set everything up, and I'm confident we'll have a wonderful time.
