Day 1 was Honky Tonkin omelette and great coffee. Day 2 was make your own omelette and that was decent. Day 3 was avocado toast which was very good. Service was up and down but mostly up. Coffee was always great. We were always pressed for time so never did the buffet but it looked like it could be interesting. It's clean and not too loud and I would gladly return. read more

Stayed here for a battery convention and had breakfast 2 times here. 3 of us built our own tasting menu with an omelet, chicken n' waffles, sourdough pancakes, sides of smoked salmon, maple blueberry sausage, potatoes lattes, espresso, coffee. No complaints, food was slightly better than our local IHOP, server was great. No mean words, but the receptionist, who was on the front desk both days we ate here wasn't home...winky-wink. 20 minute wait at 9am on a Tuesday. About $150, all in, fair for hotel priced food and good service. read more

Even though our hotel offered free breakfast, on our second day in Nashville, we went for breakfast at Kitchen Notes, located in the nearby Omni Hotel. Although pricey, the food was of excellent quality and very tasty, and they offered gluten free options. I was very tempted to have their breakfast buffet as the food looked delicious, but at $36, I decided to pass and instead had the smoked salmon plate (everything bagel, herb cream cheese, tomato, red onion, hard boiled egg , and capers) for $18, a choice I did not regret. My sister had an omelet, which she really enjoyed. (They offer several types of omelets, including a build your own omelet, in which you can choose your own toppings.) Total price for my smoked salmon bagel, my sister's omelet, two coffees, and an orange juice was $63.95 before tip, but at least we really enjoyed our food. If looking for a good breakfast spot and willing to splurge, I recommend Kitchen Notes. [Yelp collections: Nashville, TN 2026] read more

We stopped here for brunch before embarking on the Country Music Museum & are so glad we did. The brunch was excellent. I also got the Nashville chicken as a side / supplement because I had to try some while in Nashville & it was great. I had a waffle, a poached egg, maple syrup & made a delish creation with the Nashville chicken. Hubs was more traditional enjoying eggs, bacon, pancakes, biscuits, & sausage. Their sausage was a delicious blend with sage and a berry in the mix. Hubs enjoyed his OJ and I thought their coffee was pretty good. They had some nice fruit and cinnamon rolls (as well as cinnamon butter). The deco is lovely and the staff was great, friendly and attentive without being overly so. We would definitely eat here again when back in Nashville. read more

Decided to go out for breakfast Christmas Day. My group decided on this place, which is inside the Omni hotel. Breakfast was just ok. Nothing special for the holiday. Our waiter, Timothy, was very friendly, professional & attentive even as it started to get busy. The dining area is beautiful & elegant. Parking is valet only though you'll get some discount if you're dining in. read more

We were starving a this was the closest place serving breakfast so we stopped in. It's definitely not worth repeating. It's also expensive for breakfast $60 for 2 omelets and 2 coffees, plus tip. The potatoes were gross & the biscuit was lacking favor and was dry. The ham and cheese omelet was fine. The veggie omelet was bland & hardly had any cheese. The hosts were rude. The waitress was friendly but not attentive. read more

Start telling people the truth about wait times. It's ridiculous, you put people in binds. If I was told an hour instead of 30 minutes I would have made the decision to move on. Oh good seated, kitchen is backed up and they can't guarantee how long it will be. Oh, and out of soup of the day at 12:49. Try at your own risk! Make sure you have lots of time and patience!!!! read more

We planned to go to pancake pantry but when we saw the huge line we decided to go to kitchen notes. They had an all you can eat buffet for under $50 per person. A BISCUIT BAR!! Since I eat like a fish I skipped the Amazing looking buffet and ordered biscuits and gravy. They were delicious. However, the coffee machine was broken and I couldn't have a latte which was disappointing. Big plus we didn't have to wait not even a second to be seated. It's located inside a hotel. Very clean and welcoming. read more

The best breakfast of the trip! The omelet complemented by biscuit and grits were utterly delicious. The consistency and taste of the grits were top notch while the portion, flavors and balance of the omelet and biscuit hit the spot. Highly recommended for an authentic breakfast / brunch spot if in the area. read more

We came for the breakfast buffet but arrived too late. During the week make sure you arrive well before 10am! Ordered off the regular menu - had avocado toast with a side order of some nashville hot chicken. Hubby ordered the omelet. All the food was really good. The server was very lovely - super friendly and fast. The interior is pretty nice, lots of seating and bright. It's on the expensive side, but that's expected at a hotel restaurant. We will come again sometime to try that buffet. read more

We came here for the breakfast buffet but were greatly disappointed by the experience. At $35, it was NOT worth it. It felt like a low-quality continental breakfast you'd get for free at a Holiday Inn Express. With limited options available, I tried the bacon, scrambled eggs, and biscuits. The bacon was overcooked and unremarkable, the scrambled eggs were lukewarm, and the biscuits were embarrassingly dry and hard to eat. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because our waitress was very nice and attentive. There are better places in Nashville for breakfast or brunch so save your money and calories from this place. read more

Kitchen Notes - Very underwhelming - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Good service, food is very consistent and tasty, nice atmosphere, good gluten-free options, recommend a reservation

We came for the brunch buffet & were very happy with our experience! Located inside the Omni hotel to the right of the lobby, we arrived at 11:05 on a Sunday for a 11:15am reservation & were sat immediately. Can't comment too much on parking though since we walked here. Ambiance is nice. The restaurant is very clean with a southern vibe to it. Feels semi upscale yet casual at the same time. Food was solid overall. They pride themselves on being a farm-to-fork restaurant & I feel like $35/person for all you can eat was appropriate for the quality. My favorite were the homemade bacon cheddar biscuits with sausage gravy on top. They also have Belgian waffles and sourdough pancakes made made to order that are included in the buffet. Bonus for using real maple syrup. Waitress was nice and attentive, overall a 5/5 for brunch! They also have a la carte brunch menu if that is a better value for you, but we were hungry! read more

What a great find! We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, where everything was clearly labeled, and there were plenty of gluten-free options. They even had gluten free sausage gravy! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten-free and cross contamination. My daughter ordered gluten-free biscuits and a waffle to go with our meal, and both were delicious. We highly recommend this place! My daughter and I both have celiac disease, and we had no issues after eating here. read more

Little skeptical due to it being a hotel restaurant, but it was, by far, the best breakfast we had while in Nashville, and that was including visiting some "famous" places. The Nashville hot chicken was excellent, juicy and perfectly seasoned. The sourdough pancakes were delicious. They serve real maple syrup, which made this Vermont girl's heart happy. Waitress was very nice. Everything we could have asked for. read more

Kitchen Notes - Deviled eggs. Delicious! - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We had a tour we wanted to take and made reservations at Kitchen Notes for breakfast since it was near the meeting point. When you first walk into the Omni Hotel it's overwhelming. Such a massive front lobby and opulence to spare. The signage is decent but honestly we had to look around a little to see Kitchen Notes. The sign in the entrance isn't visible from the lobby area. Once we found Kitchen Notes, we were greeted at the door by an extremely friendly team of people that work in different capacities in the restaurant. We were seated immediately but on the way to the table we were able to drink in the atmosphere some. The tables are beautiful, the seats are amazingly comfortable, and the whole place is extremely clean and super cute. We sat down and out waiter Keith was over almost immediately. Affable and easy going, we were able to order our coffee and waters. We wanted bloody Mary's, but booze isn't served until 10am so we settled on the coffee and water. The coffee was good, not a cheap roast and not burnt tasting like you get in some places. We ordered the Music City Omelette (no pics sorry), Avocado Toast, and I asked for a side of Nashville Hot Chicken. It wasn't on the menu but Keith did me a solid and got it anyways. The food took a little bit to come out, there was a slight snag that we overcame with the help of Katie the wonderful manager of the restaurant and all was well. The Nashville Hot Chicken was good, well seasoned breading (lots of pepper like I like it) and it came out on a pan friend piece of toast which I loved. It was missing the sauce that I love about NHC, but there was a Kitchen Notes hot sauce on the table that sufficed in its stead. The avocado toast was really good, but it's avocado toast so it's hard to mess that up. It came with some greens, two sunny side up eggs, and tomatoes. I enjoyed it more with a little hot sauce because I like spicy food, but it was great on its own. The omelette was tasty with caramelized onions, ham, and other additions. The potatoes that came with it were fried perfectly brown and complimented the flavors of the omelette. The good news is, we took long enough we were able to get the bloodies we wanted and they didn't disappoint at all. With a nice spice to them and a healthy pour, I highly recommend one after 10am. (Weirdo laws trying to make me less of a sinner). All in, the stop at Kitchen Notes was fully worth it. The service was amazing after the snag was cleared up and the food was completely worth it. The food ran between $15 and $20 a plate, so it wasn't horribly priced for a Nashville stop. If you're in the area stop on by. read more

Kitchen Notes is a cute breakfast/lunch place located off the lobby of the Omni Hotel, where we were staying. You do have a choice of ordering off the menu or selecting the buffet for $30. I took a stroll along the buffet to see what there was and my goodness, everything looked so fresh and appetizing. The $30 price seemed a little high, but we all decided to order it. We were all so glad we did! There were three different variations of biscuits (strawberry and cream, buttermilk and cheddar herb) and I tried them all. And they were all delicious. Strawberry and cream was my favorite. The eggs, the sausage, the fruit, everything was all so fresh and delicious. I would definitely eat here next time I'm in town, whether I'm staying at the Omni or not. read more

I walked in here and thought immediately, oh great, hotel breakfast. The hot chicken here is going to suck. The restaurant is nested inside of the Omni, a beautiful hotel in downtown Nashville, walking distance from all the sights. And the actual breakfast menu was not super compelling. Your typical staples, like eggs and oatmeal, but the menu for the sides looked extraordinary. As a result, I ordered a side of the hot chicken, and a side of the biscuits. The biscuits came warm and assorted, and there were six. The hot chicken was better than Hattie B's, which I've had in the past. I found this place quite amazing. Great ambience, clean dining room, exceptional food. I cannot wait for the next time I am back here. The waitress, Enkelda was friendly and professional. read more

Nothing but great things to say about this place. Amazing gluten free biscuits freshly baked were a treat for my celiac husband. Staff was so friendly and knowledgeable about his allergy. Especially Mina, our server, who was so cool and talked us through the menu. Apparently the wife of the head chef has celiac, so we felt totally safe eating here. I had the omelette with potatoes, which was also fantastic. Price was also very fair! But seriously, come get their biscuits and gravy. Gluten free or regular, you will be so happy you did. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant located in the Omni hotel in Nashville. The decor and ambiance of the hotel is very chic. We ordered the hot chicken, sourdough pancakes, prime rib hash and a yogurt. Everything was delicious! The sourdough pancakes was different in taste from plain pancakes and it was delicious. The hot chicken came with bread and it was on the spicy side. The prime rib hash had eggs, meat, potatoes and some other stuff that I wasn't sure. The offer a breakfast buffet that looked delicious. I noticed other patrons were choosing the buffet. I would return in the future if I'm in the area. read more

Easy to find right in the Omni Hotel. I was hyped up for a good breakfast buffet to be let down tremendously. After, looking at our options I opted to order off the menu. The Nashville Chicken sandwich was pretty good. You gotta get the ranch on the side....perfection! The waffles were given to us and by the looks of them, I decided my chicken sandwich would suffice. Service was great. But I think I can find another breakfast spot that'll better fit my preferences. read more

I had NO idea what to expect from this place...all I knew is I was starving after church and didn't wanna embarrass my husband in front of his clients. So I asked the beautiful hostess ...I cannot believe I forgot her name. Started with an F. Anyway. How rude of me. She was most kind and helpful in my angry tummy situation by bringing to the bar some heavenly biscuits with butter and jam. Divine. Thank you Miss Fabulous. Then upon our guests arrival we were sat at Kay's table...a perfect location in the back! Well I was happily surprised to find her fun and jovial ...also quite thoughtful. Ever get a cranky server and it taints your entire experience?! Well this day with Kay was a joyful and most tasteful encounter. So go. Eat. Be merry. Oh the food was yummy too. No memory of what I ate but all was cooked to perfection I'm sure. :)) read more

A review 8 years later... I finally returned to this place! I must say, the food was just as magical as the first time! The biscuits and gravy were so mouth watering and delicious!

Looking forward to going back again already! read more

Came for a breakfast on Sunday. Based on price, go with the buffet. But order eggs cooked to order - so much better than the scrambled eggs on the buffet. The pancakes, again made to order, were very good - much better than the cast iron pancake (about 2 inch thick). The biscuits were good - at least the regular buttermilk ones. The sausage cheese ones were okay, didn't really taste the cheese or sausage. The chocolate chip ones were dry, at least the batch that was out when we were there. Coffee - decaf was on the weaker side. Service was excellent. read more

Honestly, we went into this visit with moderate expectations - it's a hotel restaurant so you shouldn't expect too much but it should be fine, right? We wound up being pleasantly surprised! The price of the buffet is outrageous so we ordered a la carte. I can't fathom paying $36 for a buffet! For our party of 4, that would have been $144 + taxes & tip! Instead, we ordered the Sourdough Pancakes, the Cast Iron Waffle, the Yogurt Parfait, & the Steel-Cut Oatmeal for a total of $58 plus taxes & tip. I had the parfait which was delicious & hit the spot perfectly! My husband loved his oatmeal. Our 24-yr-old daughter very much enjoyed the lemon curd on her pancakes; her only complaint was that there was more than she could eat! Our 16-yr-old son enjoyed the berries on his waffle & also couldn't quite finish! If I did have a complaint it would be that the juice cost $6! That really is absurd since an entire bottle of juice costs half that price. The design of the restaurant was nice. We were seated at a table that seems to have been designed for working meals as it was more of a work table & had outlets built in. I would strongly recommend ordering a la carte & avoiding the buffet. I simply don't think you will get your money's worth & the menu offerings are quite good! read more

Great brunch place with a lovely southern decor, fast service and delicious food. I had the cast iron waffle with two eggs on the side and it was one of the best waffles I've ever had. They even have sugar free syrup and fantastic decaf coffee - I could have drank a whole carafe. It's convenient to the major downtown attractions and we didn't have a wait to get seated on a weekend day. read more

The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because of the incredibly rude waiter I had both times I visited. The first time I came in I asked about the buffet that many other reviews had noted. He got pretty nasty about how there was no buffet. The second time I came in he didn't bring complimentary biscuits, I had to ask for them after my meal was brought out. He then yelled at the hostess for only sitting him with single person tables. I know this isn't how all servers act as there was a server nearby who oozed charm and warmth and introduced the biscuits and what accompanied them in a most welcoming way. The biscuits and gravy as well as the two egg breakfast was delicious. I just didn't enjoy it due to feeling like my server felt I wasn't going to make him money and was an inconvenience. Poor service=poor tip. And since I got this unpleasant fellow twice I won't be back due to that portion of my experience. read more

This is one of the restaurants in the Omni Nashville. Starting with the biscuits, they were delicious! Perfectly flaky on the outside and fluffy in the inside. Three different biscuits were brought for the table, and the banana and sausage ones were my favorites. The scrambled eggs were delicious and the breakfast potatoes were a medley of purple, fingerling and Yukon potatoes cooked to perfection with a crispy skin and soft interio read more

Researched places that would satisfy me, a vegetarian, and a picky eater. Located inside the Omni Hotel, we all left for the most part satisfied. Loved the openness of the restaurant, and it was pretty empty on a Tuesday night. Service was great, and loved my cocktail that came with a side of prosecco! Forgot the name of it, but the drinks were definitely fun! The complimentary bacon and plain biscuits were probably my favorite part of this meal! So good, but my southern colleagues said they were just okay. Most of us ordered the half bucket of fried chicken, and we all did mild which was just spicy enough! It was cooked perfectly and so tasty! I ordered a side of tots and pimento mac and cheese. The tots were a bit dense but pretty good. The mac and cheese was good too, but nothing out of the ordinary. My friend got hoppin john, which I never heard of. She didn't enjoy it as it was not something she was used to. Overall, it was a good meal, and I may be back later this week for my 2nd visit to Nashville! read more

We went in on Friday at 12:30 and were surprised to see that they were only offering a breakfast/brunch menu instead of lunch. This turned out to be a blessing, however, because their brunch buffet is where it's at! For $23, you get access to a BISCUIT BAR along with a number of other morning goodies such as bacon, BLUEBERRY SAUSAGE, sausage links, cheesy egg scramble, potatoes, baked goods, and oatmeal. Make sure to go for the grits - they're super cheesy and some of the best I've ever had! And now back to this biscuit bar: there were buttermilk, ham & chive, and chocolate chip nut biscuits which you could drizzle with sausage gravy, honey, and local jams. Biscuit heaven! You also get your choice of juice (orange, cranberry, tomato, grapefruit) and can go back as many times as you want! (I suggest stuffing some biscuits in your pockets for later.) read more

We came here to grab breakfast because our first choice had a line out the door and around the block. We got the buffet breakfast because we thought it was a better deal. We were wrong. For the same price, we should've gone with a breakfast entree off the menu and would've been better quality. Not to say the buffet options weren't decent in comparison to other hotel breakfasts. It's just limited especially if you'd like to have a healthy omelet. There wasn't even any toast available, just biscuits for okay looking gravy. The service was nice but slow. Would skip this next time. read more

Pretty space, with bugs flying everywhere, rude servers, food underwhelming, and not very welcoming to people of color.

Still on the fence about this spot. Our waiter was a bit of a smarty pants. I have allergies so I ask questions and clarify. And I tell them that. The deviled eggs were a unique spin and very good! The Heirloom "Hoppin John" was really good but my portion size was much smaller than I expected and compared to everyone else's. The drink was champagne base and strawberry purée it was good just REALLY sweet. Biscuits were tasty I skipped the jam berries... The girls want to hit it for brunch and the biscuit bar - I would consider it. read more
