Food was good - fried chicken sandwich & sausage sandwich Service was friendly but sparse for as many servers in the restaurant Time to get food was long but HOT No apple pie means no dessert Bill was very reasonable & sweet tea was delicious It was good but not great. Hi light was the live music

Oh wow the food was delicious and flavorful and the ambiance of the restaurant is definitely southern. Service was very very basic though - waitress checked on us once during an hour of us setting down for breakfast - not even a small smile. Prices are very fair and the portions are huge The pate in the photo below is $16

Chopped Cobb Salad

Stay here for work once a year. This is only my second time eating at this spot. Usually have lunch as tits pretty quiet and chill. Service was really good. I was seated quick and was able to send in my order right away. Ordered the wings and cobb salad. Both were pretty tasty. Portions were big and ended up taking the rest to go. I haven't been here during dinner and can image it gets busy. I'll definitely be back for more. Thanks for the good food.

This place was good. The service was better. We got seated quickly and ordered quickly. The ambiance was great, there is live music and it was very good. The food. Brisket -- This was ok. The brisket was lathered with a good amount of sauce but still felt a little dry. Garlic mashed potatoes -- These were honestly the best mashed potato's I have had in a long time. Baked Mac&cheese -- This was good. I wish it had a little more flavor ( although this is coming from a southern maw maw ). The Dimond trio -- my granddaughter and her husband got this to split. ( they had A LOT of leftovers ). " all the sauces were really good and paired perfectly with each pice of meat." My granddaughters favorite was the ribs. Wings -- " they were good .... Also very messy " Twice fried tater tots -- these were probably the best thing I ate tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! This was a good dining experience would come back for the mashed potatoes and the tater tots.

Christine was our server, very attentive. She answered many questions about the food and the different beverages. Was seated quickly. I ordered Brisket sandwich, came with coleslaw. And baked Mac & Cheese as an additional side.. I had the Caramel Apple Spiked Cider iced. Delicious beverage!

We had breakfast here. The place was nice and clean and they had a short menu with some good options. The breakfast potatoes were overseasoned and my sausage links were undercooked. When I told the server about the undercooked pork she stated there had been other complaints and removed $4 from my bill. The server was friendly but service was extremely slow. They were able to accommodate my request for almond milk in my latte.

Southern Fried Chicken Salad
Rachelle S.

We decided to slide into here before hitting the road for a quick lunch. The restaurant has cute novelty items on display to purchase for souvenirs. The cheesy Opryland theme kind of threw me off and I had low expectations for the food. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Grilled chicken on the salad was so tasty and seasoned to perfection. The burger was really good too. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Glad we stopped in for a quick lunch.

Sour blue razz lemon drop

Lindsay was an amazing bartender and host. Coming from New Jersey it's hard to find top notch service but she nailed it! Drinks were perfectly made, food was fantastic and the company was excellent. I got the ole smoky sour lemon drop and an espresso martini. For lunch I had a cheese burger with the baked Mac and cheese!

Visiting the area and didn't want the sub par free hotel breakfast. Glad we ventured out as this…read morewas probably the best meal we had while in Nashville. We dined early on a Saturday so it wasn't busy yet. Service was wonderful. Staff told us of their favorites and didn't steer us wrong. You must get the grits! They were delicious! Love how bright the inside is. I will visit again when I am in Nashville next.

This place was awesome overall. It was pretty crowded, but they moved fast and kept things flowing…read more If you like attentive service with waitresses checking on you often, I'd recommend sitting at a table instead of the bar since the bartenders stay pretty busy. Even with that, we still had a good experience. There was a little mix-up with our food a few people who ordered after us got their meals first, and the table next to us accidentally received our order, so we ended up waiting a bit longer. It was definitely frustrating at the moment, but once our food came out, it made up for it. We had the shrimp and grits along with the steak, eggs, and hashbrowns, and everything was delicious. The sweet cream cold brew was really good, and even though the orange juice was a little small, it still tasted fresh. The atmosphere was nice, and I also liked that they had outdoor seating. Overall, despite the small hiccup, I'd still come back and recommend this spot.

We enjoyed the outdoor patio for about 2 1/2 hours while catching up & having some drinks. I had two of the Oh Iris cocktail which was so refreshing.

Love that there's a little lot for parking. We came on Sunday and it was during happy hour so margs were $6. My friend wanted to get the oysters and when they came out, I kinda doubted them because they were small, but wow it was delicious and fresh. Even better with the vinaigrette that came with it. We also got the mezze platter, which looks colorful and good, but it was all a little bland. Felt like blended chickpeas and cheese. I love hummus and this came with hummus, honey whipped feta, and garlic, which was a good spread, but I didn't love it. I tried my friend's beef pita and I also thought the food was bland and didn't have a lot of flavor unfortunately.

4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $75 03/20/2026 This place caught my wife's eye during her reviews of places to eat while staying in downtown Nashville and was an easy walk from our hotel, so it was our first dinner destination after arriving. The small signage made it a little difficult to find inside the Marriott (see pictures), but from the moment we walked in, heard the live piano player and saw the dining area - we knew this would be a great experience. We started off by sharing orders of Lobster Bisque (see picture) and Burrata with Toast (see pictures). We really enjoyed both of them - the Lobster Bisque was so creamy and smooth and the Burrata was cool, fresh and clean. They were a great combination to start our dinner experience and I would recommend both of them. Since it was a Friday during lent, my wife opted for the BBQ Shrimp Pasta (see picture) and I went with the Daily Fish Special on Blue Corn Grits (see picture). As we always do when we go out, we shared our plates and really enjoyed both of them. The BBQ Shrimp Pasta was rich, buttery and smooth and the Fish Special was a tasty white, flaky and blackened fish served on a bed of rich, creamy blue corn grits. Here again, both are highly recommended. While it is one of your more expensive area stops for dinner, you will appreciate the food quality and presentation at Gannons Nashville for your next special occasion.

The Finch is everything you could want in an upscale restaurant: great atmosphere, great food,…read moregreat service! We had a larger (10) group celebrating two birthdays and the staff handled things without breaking a sweat. We arrived a few minutes late for our reservation but it was no bother as our table was still being prepared. On that note: highly recommend a reservation, this is a popular place! Once we were seated we had the pleasure of Nichelle, a wonderful waitress. She was on top of everything we needed or wanted and we had very little wait time for her return. Great service! And the food... DELICIOUS! As you can imagine, our group of ten had a good selection across the menu and there was not a single person who was disappointed. Everyone loved their amazing food. What tops everything off is the atmosphere here. It's popular so, as you can imagine, it's a bit noisy. However, I like to call it "lively". And they really nailed the physical design, so inviting and upscale. I'll stop there and simply say: check this place out, it's great!

Service was great, I wish I was checked in on more tho (8/10). The atmosphere is incredible,…read morehonestly the best part of my experience - sadly. I give atmosphere (10/10). Music wasn't too loud, the interior design is great, comfortable chairs and booths. Very cool bar. Price point is perfect. The food was solid, my friend loved his, I think I just got the wrong thing. I got the tortellini with chicken (blackened). It just felt like the chicken was premade and then heated up. Same with the pasta - like it was store bought (6/10) I heard great things about this place and the menu is very strong, but if I could do it over again I would've ordered the French dip or the burger. Never got to try the apps which also look ridiculously good (wagyu skewer bites, rock and roll shrimp, etc)
