Food is mostly gluten free. It's a buffet, not self serve. I've been 3 times. Best the first time I went, ok the 2nd time and the third, I couldn't eat most of the food. Seemed to be the same items on the buffet every time I went, over a years span. I like the concept, but some of the sauces don't work with the protein and veggies they will be serving. And you don't find that out until you're eating. This one, I think, is a matter of preference.

Visiting Florence today with friend who has celiac, so always a challenge to find interesting lunch eateries in GF world. But this is it. Whether you r GF or not, this terrific lunch place epitomizes next generation of tasty, fusion-y, healthy food. Some places advertise as "GF" because they have 1 or 2 dull GF options. Not Esther's. Today, they had predominantly vegie and GF options, but also meat if u chose. For lunch, you order either a bowl or a plate but basically both feature complementary combos of vegie or meat components. I chose meatless options, and like in any super restaurant, as I was eating, kept thinking, what spices did they use to season these couscous? What ingredients make this potato/kale curry so unusual? How did they turn something as boring-sounding as brussels sprout cole slaw into something I would kill to serve at a dinner party? Plus, according to my friend, their GF desserts were great (not just the usual tolerable). Cannot say enough about good vibes of this place. live in a part of Nashville famous for out of box, amazing restaurants, and returning home tonight, all I can say is, Esther! Would you please consider opening Esther's-North up here?

Clean healthy, delicious eating. I love Esther's for lunch bowls. When i need a lean protein and veggies, this is a go to. Build your own or get one from the menu. The carrots are amazing, shaved Brussels delicious, and the poblano sauce is yummy! The natural wine selection is great and the help provided in selecting wines even better- I recently found a new favorite red here! Tonight I got the grab n go green Chile sour cream turkey enchiladas from the freezer. They were delicious and my whole family loved it! I will now be stopping in frequently on my way home from work for dinner. Love Esther's!

I really enjoyed coming here! The food was amazing. Very unique and absolutely delivious. My only critique on the food is that it wasn't very hot. If it had been warmer, it would have been perfect. The portions aren't large, but my plate was just right to make me feel full, but not stuffed. The restaurant itself was clean and had a nice atmosphere.

Terrific selection of Vegan and homemade favorites. Clean, organic salads with many ingredients and sandwiches. You can buy frozen homemade entrees and homemade Bloody Mary Mix. Great find.
This is a great spot for lunch. It's quick and tasty. You can build your own bowl or order from the fixed menu. They have a great selection of craft beer and wine. Also, they serve gluten-free desserts made in-house.

Delicious. All of my favorite flavors in one bowl. Reasonable prices. Great staff, wonderful atmosphere, Did I mention Delicious?Vegetarian options: They have them, and it's worth itDietary restrictions: I have tons of allergies and can very easily avoid problems thanks to the descriptions and the staff
Stopped in with my son and his girlfriend for a quick bite. The food was fresh and delicious. The young woman behind the counter was friendly and helpful. Next time I come to town to visit, I will be back. In addition to the RU, TOO bowl, I ordered a Cheshire Cat smoothie to take back to the hotel for later. So glad we found this place.

Nice to see a spot with strong vegetarian/vegan options. I got one of their signature meals and a side of Mac and cheese. Delicious. My only critique is it would be nice to have real silverware for those who are eating in. I was surprised to see a large natural wine selection and lots of prepared foods for take homes. Many people came in for wine and comparing notes with the staff.

Sides are amazing!Fresh delicious veggies ?Meat was, meh ?I thought about asking for a 3 veggie plate but didn't want to pay meat price and not get meat. Should have trusted my gut and asked for a 3 veggie plate.I would like to see a 3 veggie plate on the menu for $9.95 or $10.50. Heck, it probably is an unlisted option and we just didn't know.Vegetarian options: Delicious fresh veggies ?
Esther’s is great for a healthy tasty lunch!
