Oh pastis, how I love you so. Elevated French dining done right. We ordered the escargot, Caesar salad and for my main entree I had the filet. The filet was tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and buttery with the right amount of pepper. Obviously we had to get dessert and we opted for the profiteroles, puff pastry ball with vanilla ice cream in the middle drizzled in chocolate sauce. Inside is set up very much like a French bistro and the service was great, no complaints. We were seated promptly and our food came out at a reasonable time. *chef's kiss read more

I had brunch at Nashville's Pastis location a couple of weeks ago with my husband and a couple of his aunt and uncle, and we had a very nice brunch overall. I left Nashville about 5 years ago, and the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood has continued to grow, change, expand (there's a Hermes now?!). That means that parking can be a struggle, so give yourself some time to find some street parking and check to make sure a meter maid is going to run by to ticket you (we watched it happen one block over from where we parked). On a Saturday morning at 10:30, Pastis wasn't busy, but it was almost full as we were leaving, so I recommend making a reservation unless you're okay with/prefer to sit at the bar. If you've been to other Pastis locations, the menu and the decor/ambiance will be familiar to you. I happen to love a French brunch, so I struggled with what to order! We started with an order of their Leeks Vinaigrette to share. It's a small dish but very good - a light, cold, refreshing, classic starter. I ordered the Jambon Beurre, one of the most classic French sandwiches (baguette, butter, ham, and Comté cheese). It was classic and exactly what I wanted. You really can't go wrong with something this simple when the ingredients are great (especially when it comes to that butter). Between the rest of us, we tried and enjoyed Onion Soup, Salade Niçoise, Quiche Lorraine, and the Egg White Omelette with mushrooms. Everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered as well. Our service was very good, and this location of Pastis is as pretty and transporting as their other locations. You really do feel as if you've left Nashville when you walk inside. With good service, great ambiance, a classic menu, and good food, Pastis is a good option for any meal. read more

Starters (Not pictured): We started with deviled eggs and ricotta ravioli. Light and flavorful. Drinks: lemon drop with tequila Entrees in order of tastiness (note: all were so good!) 1. Steak sandwich - star of the show! Flavor, texture mix, everything 2. Bolognese - came out hot and so tasty! Very hearty option 3. Branzino - not as "light" as I've typically had branzino. Enough for 2 meals! 4. NY Strip - really good and tender but the others stole the show! read more

Pastis came highly recommended, and I'm glad I've been able to enjoy it a couple of times - one time for a birthday celebration & the other with a friend. It's in the transformed WeHo area, and once you step into the space, you don't feel like you're in Nashville anymore. It's a nice size with what I can imagine to be French decor. The table & booths are comfortable. I'm looking forward to trying their brunch. There's street parking if available- depending on when you visit, you might have to pay to park. Love: service (kind, helpful); escargots (first time ever!, buttery, rich); trout almandine (beautiful flavor, cooked just right); bar steak (cooked to the right temp, good flavor, love the frites); sticky toffee pudding (first time thanks to server who gifted it, moist, delicious!) Like: profiteroles (best vanilla ice cream ever); ouefs mayonnaise (hard to impress me with this dish but it's the best I've had at a restaurant); crispy artichokes read more

First time going to pastis. Hannah the server was incredible! I had an early reservation so things weren't too busy yet. Beautiful restaurant inside with dim lighting and nice accents throughout. I started with the house bread, the one in the left was a crunchier loaf than the whole grain on the right which was very soft. Butter was extremely creamy and smooth. Tuna carpaccio was the first app, chives and lemon vinaigrette were the main flavors here. It was well balanced and had a nice "tang" to it afterwards The crispy artichoke was next, it was good, but a little oily. The thin outer portion were very crispy which I liked, but overall did not have much artichoke flavor until the middle portion of the dish. There are three different steak frites and choose wisely. I got the cheapest option because I had a free $100 credit on one of my credit cards I needed to use and wanted as many dishes as possible. The cheapest option is the flat iron steak at $42. The other options are filet and NY Strip. The cheapest option, flat iron, was the chewiest, gristliest, piece of beef I have ever eaten. I think I had a visible gag reaction on one the pieces because of how chewy, full of tendon and muscle it was. I want to be clear, I expected this being a flat iron cut to not be the best. I have heard RAVE reviews about the filet steak frites. The steak itself had good flavor but I just couldn't eat it because it quite literally felt like I took a bite out of a live cow. (Again not faulting the place for this, it's a lower quality cut and I should have known.) The fries were fantastic and I could've eaten a pound of them! The creme brulee was amazing and I wish I could have it every night for desert. Overall give this place a try! I have heard great things about many of their other dishes as well. (Just order the steak upgrade) read more

Had such a great dinner experience here! This lively new French spot makes you feel transported out of Nashville for the night with the ambiance and decor. Service was friendly, efficient, and we were checked in on consistently. What we ordered: Duck à l'Orange, Crispy Artichokes, Steak tartare, Fries Everything was solid. The duck was super tasty and well executed. The steak tartare was okay, but the crispy artichokes were the star of the show- perfectly done and unforgettable. This spot would be perfect for apps and drinks. Would definitely come back just for that tequila espresso martini and the crispy artichokes. I'll have to try other menu items in the future! read more

While we were in the WeHo area, we had spontaneous idea to get a table on a Saturday night since we hadn't had a chance to eat at Pastis yet. We were surprised to not only get a table so easily for 2 on a Saturday evening (6pm), but also to have a spot on the lovely and chicly decorated and breezy patio. Our waiter, Cody K, was prompt and gave us the best recommendations. We chose the steak sandwich and duck confit which was excellently cooked (tender, juicy, and full of flavor). Food was delivered within minutes of ordering and we were shocked that we were in and out in 35 minutes, never feeling rushed and taking our time. 10/10 we will be back! read more

Went on a Tuesday night without reservations, parking was a pain. The table set up wasn't the best but we got in. We started off with drinks and appetizers. I enjoyed my gin drink. We ordered escargot, oysters and the french onion soup to start with and honestly everything was also just ok. So we really didn't care to order entrees there and we ended up having dinner somewhere else. Our waitress was great, she very attentive and friendly so that was a plus. read more

Service was excellent! Vibe is 10/10! If the weather is nice I suggest snagging an outside table, perfectly centered in a courtyard middle of the restaurant. The design and layout of the space is very trendy and sophisticated. Food fell a little flat for me. We had brunch and the omelette lacked flavor, bacon a bit overdone and the French toast was a bit too eggy and undercooked. I chalked it up to a one off and I will absolutely come back. I've had the lunch menu at the NY location and it was great. It's in the perfect location with new shops so it's definitely a great addition to Nashville. read more

We stopped into Pastis on November 3, 2025 during our trip to Nashville. We were happy to try another spot from the Stephen Starr group spot since we're big fans of their restaurants in Philly. The vibe and ambiance were fantastic: lively, energetic, and full of the French bistro vibe. Our server was excellent: knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful with recommendations and details about the menu. I decided to keep it simple with appetizers: tuna carpaccio, pâté Campgane, and escargot. Each dish was presented well and with delicious flavor. For dessert, we shared the dark chocolate mousse, which was light, rich, and the perfect way to end the meal. Pastis is on our must-visit list when we're back in Nashville. Highly recommend it for a stylish and satisfying dinner out. read more

I have been looking forward to Pastis for months. Longer if we consider that I couldn't get a res the last time I was in NYC. So when I saw the Nashville location I was so excited. I was with a group of 4. We started with cocktails and mussels. The three specialty cocktails were tasty but weak. The mussels (technically an entree) were delicious. They come with fries but we used the table baguette for dipping which i'd recommended. We also tried the artichoke which was a first for me! I really liked it. We had a Caesar, the ricotta ravioli, the filet au poivre, and mashed potatoes. Everything was good but underwhelming. My steak was delicious, tender, well cut, and well cooked (med). This wasn't my favorite au poivre sauce I've ever had. It was fine. For dessert we got a crème brûlée which was wonderful. I did not think our meal was worth the $457 spent. I won't be back, sorry. read more

We celebrated our anniversary at the new Pastis in town and were immediately charmed by the ambiance. It truly felt like being back in Paris... lively, and beautifully styled. Having heard so much about the New York location, we were excited to try it here, and there's a lot of promise in what they're building. The food had some standout moments. The lobster risotto had a generous amount of lobster and was delicious, just a touch more salt would have made it perfect. The beef bourguignon was hearty and comforting, with silky mashed potatoes and an incredible sauce--though next time I might try the filet mignon. Cocktails were excellent, especially the espresso martinis, while the Aperol spritz was just okay. There are still some early growing pains. The mussels and fries were tasty but arrived cold. The French onion soup had great flavor but came to the table already spilled over. Bread and butter didn't arrive until we asked twice, and when it did, it was spongey and served without butter, which was disappointing since it would've paired nicely with the soup and mussels. All in all, Pastis has great atmosphere, strong dishes, and real potential. I'm looking forward to coming back once they've settled in. For now, I'd give it 4 stars, with hopes it becomes a 5. read more

Pastis has great French food, a fun ambiance, and great service. There are several gravel and surfaced lots within a short walk of the restaurant. I paid $12 for 3 hours at the lot at Martin and Houston. A friend and I met for Saturday brunch and the restaurant wasn't busy at opening. By the time we left it was filling up. I'm sure a reservation is a must at busy times. I loved the vibe of the restaurant. It has a clean feel with white and black tile. They have a mix of tables and booths. Think, a lively city spot. Our server was Connor and he made the experience great. He was friendly and professional. He checked on us frequently enough that we never had to look for him, but he did so without interrupting our conversation. Definitely above average service from what I usually experience in Nashville! I started with a Cappuccino which was smooth and delicious. The Scallop Crudo was fresh, tender, and a nice portion for the price. My friend shared some of her Pastry Basket with me. What I tried was perfectly baked. The Bar Steak was a must since I haven't had French food in too long. It was well seasoned and they cooked it perfectly medium rare as I had ordered it. The Frites were crispy and not greasy at all. This was an excellent meal. My friend went with the omelet which looked perfectly prepared. She enjoyed it. The Chocolate Mousse was perfect. I am picky about chocolate mousse because my mom makes the best. The highest compliment I can pay is to say it was almost as good as my mom's chocolate mousse. This was almost as good! I'd recommend this if you want a light, airy chocolate mousse. The chocolate crunch and piece of chocolate on top achieved the texture contrast I love. Pastis, I will be back! I love a good French meal and excellent service! read more

Verdict: charming atmosphere, solid drinks, delicious food. Service was just ok. We'll probably be back. Wife and I randomly showed up on a weekday. The place is tucked away but easy to find with valet out front or parking around the corner. We started off with some cocktails (St. Tropez Spritz and Rue Gansevoort), which were both great. The onion soup was fantastic, hot and savory, and exactly what I wanted. The Caesar salad had a wonderful light dressing and fine Parmesan shavings. We went from the apps to steak frites: perfectly cooked with slightly too salty but crunchy fries. Next time we'll have to try one of the entrees (the suck confit sounded delicious). read more

We came to celebrate a graduation. My uncle wanted a nice steak and I recommended Pastis, it's a place I know and love. We frequent the D.C. location and this was our first time in Nashville. I kept searching for steakhouses but a lot of them had mixed reviews and viola Pastis Nashville popped up! I said yep that's where we're going. We ALL ordered the bar steak and frites, but they subbed pomme purée. Was the steak delicious flavor wise ? Oh absolutely but the CUT of steak....NO LOL SIMPLY PUT. I've had and enjoyed hanger steaks before but this was chewy and tough. I ordered a medium steak. I mean I could BARELY chew it. The pomme purée 10/10. The sticky toffee pudding delish. But wait.... Who ever took the Cioppino off the menu should be arrested !!! Oh my gosh! It was the best thing on the menu. The service was good. The ambiance is always a vibe and the parking rates were reasonable. I did notice the Nashville location is substantially higher than the D.C. location which is absolutely shocking to me lol read more

Everything went perfect at this staple go to in NY. It's now a Nashville go to for us Amazing team working here, with a beautiful atmosphere and an even prettier outdoor patio. The team is amazing super welcoming. The food was good and consistent with the NY reputation. We left pretty stuffed. I had the muscles which were very good, my husband had the skirt steak and fries, our friend had Shrimp and Grits, and there were no left overs. For me that means we were very happy guests. We'll be back read more

The Ambiance alone was reminiscent of various cafes somewhere and some French city. But let's just get straight to the food! Those pastries, to die for. I do believe I want to just come here and Order pastries first thing in the morning. Will be seeing if that is an available option! The Branzino was perfect! Even the butter beans and peppers were seasoned to an expertise! And I know they weren't Marseille fried style type of sardines, but I did order some! The dessert, bread pudding, to die for! I definitely will be coming back just to have the dessert while sitting at the bar! This restaurant is everything! The customer service was spectacular. People were very friendly and spoke even if they weren't your server! This is a definite go back to it and I see why they have a waiting list! Sorry no pictures of the food! Next time LOL read more

TL:DR - just go. You know when something is so good you want to write home about it? Well, Pastis is exactly that -- a fantastic addition to the Nashville dining scene. Nashville isn't typically known for French cuisine, but Pastis is helping to change that. It's only been open a couple of months, and it's already tough to snag a reservation. We took our chances as walk-ins and arrived a little before opening -- and thankfully, they were able to squeeze us in. Our server, Emma, was an absolute sweetheart -- charming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. To start, we ordered a glass of red wine and an espresso martini. My husband actually preferred my martini because it wasn't overly sweet (a win in my book!). He also really enjoyed his red blend. For appetizers, we shared: * Escargot - classic and satisfying, on par with what you'd expect from a good French restaurant. * Foie Gras - rich and indulgent, paired perfectly with their house bread. * Scallop Crudo - my husband's favorite; the citrusy sauce really brightened the flavor of the fresh scallops. For mains, he went with the duck confit (crispy, tender, flavorful) and I had the Bouillabaisse (a hearty seafood stew and the reason I wanted to stop in on a Friday!). Both dishes were excellent and beautifully prepared. We finished with profiteroles -- delicate cream puffs filled with ice cream and drizzled in warm chocolate sauce. A classic French dessert and the perfect sweet ending. Best of all? We were in and out in under an hour but never felt rushed. The service, pacing, and execution were a great example of a well-oiled machine in action. We're already planning our next visit to try more of the menu. Pastis is a gem -- if you're looking for French fare in Nashville, this is your spot. read more

Overall pleasantly surprised by this new location. We have been to the NY location many times and always enjoy it. I had set expectations that this one wouldn't quite be on par with that one but they've done a very good job so far with the restaurant. I will say, be prepared for an unbelievably frustrating parking situation here. Pastis doesn't really provide any clarity on where is "ok" to park when you ask. Since Weho is literally a nonstop construction zone with all the building, there are barely any parking options. Make sure you read signs in some of the lots around, very vague on specifics. We usually have to park a few blocks away. Also, be wary if you have a nice car- using the SoHo house valet..I've seen some questionable practices when they take customers cars. Now, back to the restaurant impressions.. We have been multiple times at this point for both brunch and lunch. Food is executed well most every time and is delicious. The scallop crudo is a must if you like scallops, fresh and lovely with the passionfruit sauce. The steak sandwich is my husbands favorite thing on the menu at lunch by far. Croque madam is insanely tasty. Lobster risotto on the rotating specials menu is also well done. Service is a bit hit or miss here. Really depends on who your server is. Some are a lot better than others. Hopefully they streamline the wait staff as they are open for longer. Overall, ambiance is great (and right in line with other locations). This is a welcome new addition to Nashville for sure. read more

Pastis has been on my "to try" list since it was announced they were coming to Nashville. Getting a reservation is difficult but so worth it. The interior is an exact replica of a French cafe with the ambience to match. The hosts were so kind and our waiter offered great recommendations. I had the steak frites and onion soup with a could glasses of Brut. The food is on another level. For a bar steak with butter, it's one of the better steaks I've had in the city, and that's just their entry level option. The onion soup was hot, the cheese was gooey and the Brut was bubbly. The food was delicious and the vibe is immaculate. The price is hefty so I'm still on the fence if it's worth the price point, but I'm leaning towards yes. The service left a little room for improvement but it was a packed night so I don't hold it against them. I'll be back again! read more

Pastis absolutely delivered. The service? Impeccable. The food? A culinary love letter. The portions? Well... let's just say Americans either serve you a mountain or a polite suggestion of food. No in-between. But still, we left full in spirit and stomach. The veal escalope was so tender it basically apologized as I cut into it -- yes, a little salty, but honestly, I'd order it again and just hydrate responsibly. The beef tartare? A bold and beautiful masterpiece. The ravioli? Good, not life-changing, but still worth the fork. And the Caesar salad? That garlic dressing was a spiritual hug from the Pope himself. Dessert? Felt like I was being spoon-fed by angels. That good. They were super sweet to my service dog Bea -- she gives them two paws up. Huge shoutout to Shelby, our server. Hilarious, warm, attentive, and did I mention kind? Like, overachiever levels of kind. Probably deserves a raise and a Nobel Peace Prize. The vibe and decor are classic French bistro with just the right amount of NYC sass. 10/10 would Pastis again. read more

We anxiously awaited the opening of the Music City branch of one of our NYC faves. Scoring a reservation was the hard part; we had to settle for a waiting list "Thursday night at 6" slot. Parking is challenging in WeHo; more so since construction has started on about half a dozen new buildings in the area. We found a pay lot spot about 2 blocks away; $8 for 2 hours wasn't a big deal in the Nashville parking calculus. The decor is pure Meatpacking District meets the Marais. It's a French cafe all the way. You enter into the bar area, where there are also some tables. However, it's crazy loud, and we were glad when they led us to one of the seemingly quieter back dining rooms. Unfortunately, the intensity of the crowd noise built by the minute; there is nothing to attenuate the noise and it ended up being one of the loudest and noisiest dinners we've had in a long time. Service was solid; I've never seen so many servers in a single restaurant in Nashville. In addition to the servers, there were floor managers constantly present. We started with a glass of the Petit Chablis; it was served properly chilled and was delicious. The menu is filled with French bistro classics. We love Leeks Vinaigrette and started with that dish; it was perfectly executed. If I had any quibble, it would be that we prefer the dish made with toasted hazelnuts, rather than the almonds used by the Pastis kitchen crew. Still, all in all, it was wonderful. We ordered Moules Frites and Bar Steak Frites (more frites the merrier, right?) The mussels were great; the broth was perfect for dunking some of the crusty baguette slices served upon request, and the frites were accompanied by a properly garlicky aioli. The plump shellfish were fresh and delicious; I wished they served more! The steak frites was also 10/10. It was an 8 oz portion of flat iron steak served with an oversized dollop of maitre d' hotel butter, and again, frites and aioli. Cooked medium rare as ordered, it was a beefy treat. We ordered a glass of the Bourgogne red (Pinot noir based) and it was a great match with the meat We were pretty full after that meal and so we didn't have room for dessert, but next time we will save room. The sweets being served to other tables looked wonderful. If not for the noise level (by the time that the entrees were served, we really couldn't hear each other without shouting), this would have been a 5 star meal. I had to deduct a star for the noise level; they can do better on that front. Otherwise, it was a great meal at a fair price. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a classic French bistro meal experience (provided you can deal with the noise). read more

When I heard Pastis from New York was opening in Nashville, I was so excited but didn't have the highest of expectations. I liked the Meatpacking District location but didn't LOVE it if that makes sense. But this location blew me out of the water. I've since been 7+ times and I haven't had a bad experience here yet. The service to start, is absolutely impeccable. They are so accommodating, and there truly isn't a bad seat in the entire restaurant. The ambiance is so nice, and the patio is absolutely adorable! But the food....WOW I've been for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Here are my favorites: - Lobster Frite: WOW WOW WOW. First off, this could probably feed two people if you're getting appetizers. The fries are so well seasoned and honestly might just be my favorite restaurant fries I've ever had. The lobster falls right off the shell and is so moist. - Oysters: Just do it. Just get them. SO good. - Bar Steak: The sauce is impeccable. Steak is cooked perfectly. And you already know I love the fries. - Filet Mignon: The best filet mignon I've had in a very long time. I brought a CIA trained chef who's worked in Michelin star restaurants, and her review was "This is easily the best filet I have ever had in my life." It really is that good. My ONLY thing is that the sauce that comes with the bar steak is genuinely better, so I would sub it so you get the best of both worlds. I've had it both ways and this is THE way. This has easily become one of our favorite date night spots in Nashville, and the place I bring every friend when they visit. read more

Pretty faithful recreation of a Parisian bistro. Crowded, buzzy, reasonably priced, and almost precisely the menu one might see on the other side of the pond. As is the case with a lot of bistro food, I'd rate it "good" and not "to die for," but the group enjoyed the mushroom soup, the french onion soup, and the range of entrees that included the moules, steak frites, boeuf bourguinon, and even their burger (recommended by our excellent server). Solid service, nice wine list, authentic looking room...in Nashville! read more

I am so glad that Pastis is in Nashville and have visited a few times at brunch and once for dinner. I love the space. It feels like you are transported to Europe and the bar is large and welcoming. I've always been sat at or close to the same table on every visit and seem to unluckily receive odd service. It's not bad per se, but each time the server is a little awkward... and there's always multiple people serving us so I find the experience always a bit disconnected and one of them seem to be new and unsure of how to answer questions. The food overall is good with a few misses... like the night I ordered the trout amandine the trout didn't have much flavor and almonds were slightly burned. But the oysters, onion soup, and quiche at brunch are very good. They also make a great burger and fries, and I love the oysters and escargot. Overall there are more highlights than not, I just hope the service and a few dishes improve. read more

We went for brunch this time with a group of six. The restaurant is still freezing cold. Very pretty decor. I had the steak sandwich and it was great, but it had lettuce on it did not say that on the menu. I hate lettuce so it would have been good to know so I could have asked for it without. I loved the artichoke again. We had ordered some fries for the table then my sandwich ended up coming with fries, again it would have been nice to know. Friend who got the Jambon sandwich got salad with it, again surprise. We all would have taken a second drink but were never offered the opportunity to order one. We all left saying it was fine, but no one was dying to go back. There are just some things they still haven't figured out yet. I hope it improves because I would love to have good French food in Nashville. read more

I visited Pastis Nashville with a small networking group of wedding professionals for our November Friendsgiving lunch, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was lively but not over the top, and the service was excellent. We started with the cheese plate, and the brie with truffle honey was absolutely heavenly -- creamy, rich, and just the right touch of sweetness. For my main course, I ordered the moules frites (mussels and fries), and it was perfection. The sauce was garlicky and zesty without being overpowering, and the thinly sliced garlic on top added such a great flavor. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the dipping sauce (a mayo or hollandaise, I think) was delicious. For dessert, most of us chose the vanilla crème brûlée, which was one of the best I've had. The warm madeleine cookie served alongside it was such a unique and cozy touch. We also shared profiteroles for the table, and they were the perfect sweet ending. I'll definitely be back -- next time for dinner -- to try even more from this beautiful new addition to Nashville's dining scene. read more

Unfortunately very underwhelmed with Pastis. This is a VERY generous 3 stars. Staff was great. Attentive. Hard working. Tons of employees. Ambiance - fantastic. Felt like a Chicago or NYC restaurant, packed, loud, pretty. Food- shockingly underwhelming. Wine as well. Escargot was below average. Doused in garlic/oil which tasted great. But the escargot itself- forgettable. Chicken paillard was good, side salad- great. Steak tartare- good! 7.5 out of 10, would recommend. Ravioli app - absolute joke. This was 2 out of 10. Fazoli's adjacent. Texture- non existent. Flavor- non-existent. Price/value: most underwhelming dining experience ever in Nashville. Pricing is absurd for the quality of food received. You can eat at Michelin Bib restaurants across the country and pay less & receive 10x value in food quality. Will be back to try a 2nd round. But not rushing it read more
