    French Onion Soup
    Alexis B.

    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.

    Frozen Citron and Sticky Toffee Pudding

    This is some of the most amazing food I have had while in Nashville. The food is prepared well, is high quality, and in appropriate proportions. The restaurant is tightly packed, but the low lighting helped maintain an intimate atmosphere with the table. Service is a little slow, but once you have put your order in the food comes out at a good pace. You can fill that time by trying out their delightful cocktails! I have been dreaming about the foie gras ever since our visit. I am excited to come back soon. Of you're looking for a romantic dining experience, or just some amazing French cuisine, Pastis is the spot for you.

    Nice ambiance, servers attentive and food was impeccable. We enjoyed the savory bouillabaisse with warm French baguettes and the Salad Verte with lively lemony vinaigrette dressing . The Pascal Mullet Attitude Pinot noir was a nice complement to our meal. Our final treat was the vanilla ice cream with bittersweet chocolate. (Profiteroles). Loved the vibe and the energy of this delightful eatery in Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. Love it and you will too!

    Salmon
    Charlene S.

    The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were warm and attentive. The deviled eggs, however, were too salty for my palate. The salmon was cooked to perfection, though the food was presented at a lukewarm temperature despite being served in a very hot dish. The white wine sauce had a nice blend of ingredients, and while it was a touch salty on its own, it balanced well with the potatoes and salmon. I would have appreciated heated spices as a pairing option, but after receiving lukewarm food, I was too unenthused to explore adding more flavor to the dish.

    The food , service, ambience and authentic French bistro vibe is perfect.My only complaint is finding a place to park .

    This place is such a fun New York vibe. It's very French bistro and the service is great. The food is very good. Lots of help for figuring out gluten free options. This is a very great place for a girls night. The outdoor patio is so cute and the bar area inside is also very cute. Would def come back. Will also Mention the fryers are separate so the fries are gf with no cross contamination!

    Crispy Artichokes
    John M.

    A bright, upscale, turn of the century setting with a full bar, extensive wine list, and full service, Pastis is very good, but misses the mark. The Escargot were small, good, but unremarkable. The (French) Onion Soup is very light and is overpowered by all the cheese. The Crispy Artichokes were soaked in oil. The Bouillabaisse is excellent. Service was attentive, but our wine wine was not kept at the table. There is no handicap parking.

    Steak Sandwich
    Leslie S.

    I have been to other Pastis locations, and I admit this might be my favorite. The Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood is perfect for the restaurant, the food is amazing, the service is so nice, and the surrounding aesthetics are top tier.

    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

    Ambiance- transported right into a French bistro in Paris! Service - very helpful and attentive Food - artichoke was so good. A little greasy but tasty. Onion soup is super rich and yummy. Steak sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. Parking - off street. Tough to find. A few paid lots near by.

    Duck
    Alexis M.

    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!

    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)

    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.

    Ask the Community - Pastis

    Do they offer valet parking?

    Pastis does not offer valet parking but there is valet parking about 100 feet from the restaurant for all the ones around the street. The street is one way so if you drive past Pastis it is on your left.

    Is it dog friendly?

    Only for service animals.

    A downstairs basement bar with speak easy vibes and moody dark lighting. This is a tequila bar --…read morebut also has a fully stocked bar. We went in the afternoon so it was pretty quiet still, but the bar tenders were friendly and helpful. And although I'm not a huge tequila fan, I was impressed with my drink. Prices were reasonable for the drinks we ordered and this bar being located on Broadway. Definitely worth a visit.

    There's a lot to like about Pushing Daises. It has a nice dark speakeasy vibe in a basement…read moreenvironment. Staff here is very nice and are keen on helping you order the right drink. There was no live music available at the time, but they did have a DJ which I thought was spinning the turntable rather well. It's my bad that I didn't also catch on that his is basically a Tequila Bar, rather than a more general craft cocktail establishment. Judging by the well stocked bar and the word of our waitress, other alcohol and their associated craft creations are available, but it's pretty much off menu and not well into our waitress' repertoire. And yes, Cinco de Mayo was just a few days away. One member of our party just wanted a soft drink, which was not possible that night as their CO2 was down. That did make me wonder whether the non-alcohol drinkers had much to chose from here. I suppose we could have then wandered over to the Redemption Bar at Chief's? Anyway, we're not Tequila Drinkers, and since other drink options appeared to be guesswork, we left towards more traditional mixed drinks (and live music) at a nearby Printers Alley bar. This was a rare night that I really wanted a craft cocktail in a smooth environment, and in the end it just wasn't the same.

    "This used to be Blend. What a spectacular collapse in standards…read more The space is still nice and the humidor selection is solid -- unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Staff at the humidor offered zero guidance or recommendations. Drinks were forgettable, and we had to fetch them ourselves from the bar like we were at a college sports pub instead of an upscale cigar lounge. Then came the cigars. We were left to cut and light them ourselves, which would've been fine if every disposable torch in the place wasn't nearly empty or completely out of butane. Nothing says 'premium lounge experience' quite like fighting for a working lighter. To top it off, the moment a large group walked in, the bartender started loudly screaming out drink orders across the room. The entire atmosphere instantly shifted from refined cigar lounge to livestock auction barn. This place is living off the reputation of what Blend used to be. If you're expecting an elevated experience, look elsewhere."

    This was the 2 nd speak easy we were taken to. Not too far walking distance to the first one…read more It is a cigar bar more like a lounge with large comfy chairs but we were taken directly to the second floor via elevator. Thankfully that room had no trace of cigar smoke. We were told in its hey day it was originally a brothel. More tales of murder. We were cautioned to stick with your party around Printers alley and how one man went off on his own and was found dead floating in the river.
