Nectar Urban Cantina is a great reminder that we don't always need to chase the hot new restaurant…read morein town. We have excellent local spots right here that deserve all of the love! I'm always looking for a place to eat in Donelson before my Wednesday bowling league, and this fit exactly what I was craving. Local, Mexican-inspired food, dedicated parking lot, easy to get in & out quickly. The parking lot was quite popping tonight, and I did have to loop through it a couple of times to find a spot even though it is pretty spacious. A place that's been open since 2017 and is still this busy on a Wednesday is a good sign. This is part coffee shop, part restaurant, so there are two different doors. I inadvertently went through the coffee shop one and they redirected me to the restaurant side, no problem at all. I was able to be seated at a table with no wait. My waitress came right over with water and a menu, and I was clear with her that I had about a half hour before I needed to leave. She quickly took my order, giving me recommendations when I asked for advice and was torn between a couple of different things. The menu is large and reasonably priced with a very wide selection of drinks. This isn't the most authentic Mexican food, but man is it tasty. Lots of fresh ingredients and so much flavor, a real crowd pleaser for dietary restrictions and picky eaters! I was torn between chips and queso and a burrito, so it was to my benefit that the chicken burrito comes with a side of chips and salsa, and paying a small upcharge to swap in queso meant I got all of the things I was craving in one order. Pinto beans, guacamole, chipotle aioli, and rice all packed in and put on the griddle so you get that nice sear. There's an option to add a cheese skirt to the burrito that I skipped this time but would absolutely come back for. The chips were thin and crispy, the queso hot and delicious, and I couldn't have asked for more at the price. The burrito is $11 on its own and with the chicken and my upcharge I came to about $19 with tax, plus tip. When the waitress brought my food she also brought my check and a box so I could take the other half to go and get everything out of the way. In and out in thirty minutes with food that was hot, fresh, and super delicious. The service here really goes the extra mile. Easy for a solo diner, easy for a group, and easy to just walk in for a quick meal. My only small gripe is that they may still be too popular for their parking lot, which should be slightly bigger. They've also got an interesting set of coffee and matcha drinks and a brunch menu I'd love to come back for. This is a hidden gem, and I hope locals keep showing up for the great places we already have instead of only chasing whatever just opened!

So we have come here several times for different occasions and today was the least enjoyable. For…read morethe good part of the visit: I love their outdoors area. The tent and bar area are great. They have also really step it up with the games and playing area for kids to just run around and enjoy their time while parents and adults can also enjoy their time. The food has gotten better but I'm still not impressed so I still think they're overpriced. Service: they did "try" to work it out but very poorly. My sister made a reservation for 13 people but somehow they only had one our reservation, quote "10 or 11 people" so they were not prepared either way. We only had 1 extra person showed up. They gave us one (1) picnic table for our party. Even if it was "10 or 11" of us we would have not fit in one of the picnic tables even adding the two chairs at the end, and we didn't. It's better to say they made a mistake than to blame the patrons. There were 2 open tables that could have been used but our server wasn't assigned them... the must dumb excuse on the book. I've worked in restaurants and we always made it work for the customer and the serve, mind you, they were right next to each other. Communication between managers, servers and host/hostess could have been better. Also, I don't like they make you share tables with people you don't know. I love meeting people but this isn't Monell's y'all. Get different kind of seating if you are not going to be open seating in that area. It makes it less awkward to our wallets when we are all chilling and ask, "can we seat here" knowing that you have to say "yes, sure" unless you have your people coming to save you. Overall all, having overwhelmed staff for a planned holiday that happens every years is just unpreparedness of the establishment and a sour taste to the customer. Please do come and try it for yourself.

She gave me the extra smoothie as I was sharing with my daughter so that was nice. She has a local person selling elderberry syrup and other hats and shirts. I asked if she would let me hang pictures I make in Nashville and she said not sure yet so it's not really support locals all the way, maybe the other lady is a friend? . She has all wall empty and it feels cold. Not just the temperature. It would be nice to see locals supporting locals even if they are not your friends. Anyhow, try it and make your own opinion. They have bowls I think too.

They only thing I had requested is that they put the drizzle first then the topping and they never do it. It is a waste of drizzle because it gets stuck on the top cover.

Ps: please put the drizzle first when it says it on the order because it says it....

Great coffee shop for those quick caffeine pit stops…read more They have both a walk up window and drive thru area. I used the drive-thru and ordered a large iced coffee, because they don't offer cold brew. The iced coffee was very good, but I was missing that cold brew bite. Missing some flavor, but still gave me the much needed boost in the early morning. Besides coffee they also serve juices and smoothies, but no food that I saw. Just a few protein bars to choose from. Avoid those long corporate coffee lines and support this local coffee spot!

You can also wait for freshly made juice and/or get pre-made juice out of the freezer if you can't wait. I was impressed with seeing the fresh fruit and veggies and the process of how they make the fresh items!

I would not recommend working at this location based on my personal experience…read more I was fired without being spoken to first or given an opportunity to explain my side of the situation. From my perspective, there was no fair investigation before the decision was made, which left me feeling disrespected and treated unfairly. While working here, I also felt that employees were underpaid considering how busy the store is and how expensive the menu items are. Customers pay premium prices for açaí bowls, smoothies, and other menu items, yet many employees are paid only $12 an hour. It created an environment where many staff members felt undervalued. I also witnessed management practices that raised serious concerns for me. Based on what I observed and what was communicated to me by coworkers, I questioned whether timekeeping and payroll practices were being handled appropriately. I hope the company reviews these practices to ensure they comply with all applicable laws and policies. Overall, my experience was disappointing. I expected better communication, fair treatment, and more respect for employees. I encourage anyone considering working here to ask detailed questions about management, pay, and workplace policies before accepting a position.
