We discovered this hidden gem by accident while looking for Italian around the Vanderbilt area…read more The reviews looked great and we were looking for pasta and other options. It's a cozy space, we were seated in the outdoor area which has been completely closed in with plastic for the winter. The heat was blasting and it was a perfect spot, very inviting, and had outdoor TVs. We had two servers, young and very polite that checked on us. The menu includes appetizers, pizzas, calzones, pastas, salad, etc. We ordered the garlic knots, small Cesar salad, 14" pizza, and chicken parmigiana. Food arrived extremely quickly, starting with the salad. It was perfect as an appetizer, the dressing was light - more like Italian and the lettuce was crisp. Next came the garlic knots, which were drenched in butter. The knots were crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. We would 100% recommend them, even though pasta are served with the knots (which we didn't know). The pizzas came in four sizes 12, 14, 16 and then one bigger. I thought the pan size looked small for the 12 so I ordered the 14" chicken BBQ pizza. It arrives next and was quite large! It was thin crust with a crunchy crust. It was delicious, perfect amount of toppings. Then the chicken parmigiana arrived, and it was heaping with freshly breaded and fried chicken with marinara pasta underneath. It was a big portion served in a bowl and my daughter loved it. We will be back to try more food, would highly recommend. Also, if you have a car, there was a lot of paid street parking available. Also, down the street from a nice park if you have kids!

The interior was clean, well lit and pretty easy to navigate. It reminded me a bit of an earlier version of WFs when they were more independent. They have a small but well stocked salad bar including some hot items. They also have a good variety of plant based options, both refrigerated and frozen. I got some smoked tofu which was in the refrigerated section as I'd never seen it before. (Very good by the way) My salad was fresh and just what I needed for a small dinner. You can do self checkout or a traditional register. I was paying cash so I used the traditional route. It was quick and the service was great.

Browsing the aisles is so fun, and they had a lot of great deals on sale, too. I am not sure if they validate parking or not and did not see any signage, so that is a negative of this location.

I found Grey's online after wanting to find a local cheese shop that might have some options that…read moreare not available at the grocery store. I was excited to see the shop and was very interested in purchasing some cheese. My husband and I drove 45 minutes from across town to visit the shop. It also happened to be the Friday after the large ice storm we recently had, so we were happy to be able to support a local business after they had to close for a few days due to the weather. Upon arriving, we parked in the garage and walked around for a good ten minutes trying to find the shop. There is no good signage to show you exactly where the shop is, and walking around in 25-degree weather trying to find it was frustrating and we almost left. We finally found it, and upon walking inside, it was a warm and inviting space. There were two employees in the shop/restaurant area - one was helping a customer at the register and the other was talking to a friend/customer from behind the cheese counter. We were looking at the wall of non-cheese items, which seemed like a nice selection of crackers, mustards, honeys, and other accompaniments you could purchase. We walked up to the cheese counter and started looking at the cheese in the refrigerated display. We went back and forth between picking up cheese to see what it was and patiently looking up to wait for someone to acknowledge/help us. While we stood there, another employee came out from the back of the restaurant to bring samples of cheese to the customer at the register and promptly went back into the kitchen. The friend/customer of the other employee left, and the second employee that had been behind the counter moved out into the restaurant and started wiping empty tables. At this point, we had probably been in the shop for a good ten minutes. None of the employees acknowledged we were there, not even to say they would be with us shortly or to offer a hello. At this point I was frustrated, so we left to go to the bathroom in the hallway and didn't go back in. I'm not sure if we weren't "hip" enough for them to even say hello to, if we didn't look the part or what, but being completely ignored in a tiny shop for over ten minutes was beyond rude. I was so excited to visit this shop, but the experience left a bad taste in our mouths. As they say, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression", so we will find other places to spend our money.

I cannot recommend this place enough! came here on a Saturday afternoon with a couple of friends…read moreand it was phenomenal experience! We each started with a wine flight which we all very much enjoyed. To eat, we started with the French Cultured Butter and Bread which was incredible. The bread was super fresh and had some seasoning on top that was just so delicious. It was served with a seasonal jam and French cultured butter. I'm not usually a fan of jams, but whatever this jam was almost turned me into jam lover. It was super smooth and not overly sweet, pairing well with the butter in a way that made me smile. The cultured butter was also so delicious on its own. We also ordered a charcuterie board which came with two meats, three cheeses, the same bread as the other dish, almonds, pickles, and jams. It was a lot of bread given it was the same bread as the other dish we had, but it was all so good, we didn't mind. Everything was super fresh and each one of us gravitated towards different cheeses, meats and accompaniments in such a way that you could tell the selection was well-rounded. My friends each also ordered sandwiches which they loved. They mentioned being short staffed that day and the service was a tad slow, but thankfully it didn't impact our experience much. This place is an absolute gem and I'll definitely be back!

I've eaten both lunch and dinner there for many years. The staff is always attentive and professional. The restaurant always lively, but quiet enough to host a good conversation.

Simply a consistently great dining experience!!

We ordered the spinach dip which came cold so we had to ask that they warm it up for us. I ordered the Cobb salad. My friend ordered her favorite the lobster rolls. She also had to ask for it to be heated up. My other friend ordered a Greek salad with salmon. Her salmon came over cooked and then they brought her another one which was undercooked. I'm not sure if it was just a bad day for the cooks but the was the worst experience we've had here. The manager came by and apologized for the service which we appreciated. I've never had an issue here before and really hope the manager took the feedback to the team.

Just like the Franklin location, this place is *chefs kiss* -- just tops!…read more I adore Savory Spice Shop, you can never lose shopping here. My absolute favorite is the Jamaican Jerk. I buy it in 3 cup bags and store in giant mason jars... that's how much I use it. Follow the recipe on the bag/website to make the sauce/marinade and it will not disappoint. I've been to the islands and this rivals it for taste. Very close. This particular location has easy parking behind the building, located in West Nashville. Smaller than the Franklin location, but great nonetheless. Other winners that I legit cannot live without -- black garlic salt. Capital hill. Golden maple. Several more but those are at the top TOP of my favorite list.

My mom and I…read morehave tried a couple of different spice shops in the area but she made it clear that she wanted the spices from this place. I understood why when I walked in. The staff was very nice when I walked in and helped me determine which spices I wanted to get based on the description my mom gave me. You have the ability to try the different spices before you commit to it and the amount given to purchase is pretty reasonable. They even have a rewards program when you spend a certain amount and a birthday gift! Overall great experience and I'll be sure to return.

I was immediately met with smiling faces and an offer to explain their menu as it was my first time in. I ordered a poke bowl with all the toppings and an order of their special: Kalua pork. It was too cold to eat outside, so I took the food home to share with family. Although I ordered a mixed poke bowl, it turned out there was only ahi added. However, it was the freshest tuna I've had in forever (or ever, maybe!). It brought me right back to a short time I lived on Oahu, eating plain marinated ahi before bowls were so popular! Next time I'll make sure to try the salmon. The kalua pork was equally authentic with its tender bite and smoky flavor, and it paired perfectly with the rice and mac salad. We did add a bit of Japanese bbq sauce to the meat at home, which made it a little more interesting. The portions were enormous! I shared with family and had enough pork leftover for a next-day lunch. There is no indoor seating, but because it's located at one city, there is plenty of outdoor community seating. I'll be back in better weather, to enjoy a fresh catch while watching a beach volleyball match! Before then, I may swing by to pickup one of their dinner kits with the freshest fish in Nashville.

I am actually re editing my will so that my celebration of life will serve these sandwiches I love them that much.
