Skull's Rainbow Room 222 Printers Alley, Nashville American • $$$
222 Printers Alley, Nashville

“A trip back to the golden age of nightclubs. A real prohibition/film noir vibe. Top flight warm and friendly service from bar and waiting staff. Bar manager Rhys is right across the whole operation. Also really knowledgeable about the cultural history of the venue - which has been rocking it since 1948. Incredible music from sax player / Nat King Cole voiced Derek Williams, plus singers Laura Mayo and Dianne Sherrill fronting a superb jazz combo led by a highly charismatic pianist. The burlesque show is end to end class with elegance and humour balanced perfectly by co producers Jonny Gowow (musical director) and Tessa Mendoza (hostess / lead dancer). Food also of equally high standard. The prime rib is a near religious experience!”

“First time diners at this restaurant but we'll be back. We had the pork chop and the steak - both were done just as we ordered - these are substantial servings. We shared the red Thai curry steamed PEI mussels - an interesting riff on the typical PEI mussels appetizer - though not as spicy as I had hoped - I'll ask about that next time. Modest wine list but we selected a cabernet we both enjoyed. Service was engaging and competent - all-in-all, a good meal and a good time.”

We talked to the bartender Brandon and the server Peter. We had a nice chat about small town living and moving to the big city. Even though he has people at the bar he made the experience so personal. At the end of the night we meet the cook (who made the eggs) Devon and told him how amazing the eggs were. The drinks were beautifully made and would recommend the Crocodile tears and the Southern gothic. Both strong drinks but beautiful balance and great body.”

“We just returned from a fun long weekend in Nashville. Eating at Cafe Roze for dinner was our culinary high light. Their chili eggplant dish was unbelievable. What I wouldn’t do for that recipe…and the talent to prepare it to perfection. I wanted to continue vegetarian so I ordered the simple pasta - also done to perfection. Others at our table had the paprika chicken, wedge salad with salmon and vegetarian dinner bowl. All raved about their dish and ate every bite. This is a very special cafe. Small intimate and lovely - but the food is the star. The noise level was not crazy loud either which we appreciated. Best restaurant in Nashville by a mile.”

Lobster bisque was subtle (not too salty) and rich - so good! And the service was off the charts fantastic! Props to Max and Andrew! Delicious wines and great live music, which wasn't too loud. We could still talk easily. The only cons were the Brussels sprouts, which are brought out as a complementary extra, but they were just steamed and lightly seasoned. I like Brussels sprouts, but these were simply not great (like why bother?). And the seating was not super comfortable. Bench seat was hard - per my husband - and my chair was really low and the table had a large pedestal bottom, so between those two and my long legs, I had to sit sideways. But it won't stop us from coming back. The restaurant itself is beautiful! Excellent meal and lovely evening!”

A-ROI By Smiley Thai 2700 Clifton Ave, Nashville Asian Fusion • $$
2700 Clifton Ave, Nashville

“We live in the neighborhood so we called in an order to-go and used the 15% off flyer they left on our door. I walked in and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere as it is unassuming from outside. Service was solid but the hostess was busy taking calls so I had to wait about five minutes before she was able to help me. Not a big deal at all. She grabbed the food quickly and I was on my way. I couldn't give a 5-star rating for service & atmosphere because we didn't dine-in so my experience was relatively limited. The food however, delicious. We were delighted because solid thai food is tough to find in the Nashville area. You pay for it as it's a little expensive. But what isn't these days. We are looking forward to getting back there soon.”

“This was such an easy place to bring our family! Something delicious for everyone, the food was quick, and the young man at the register was so impressive. He was attentive, happy, and juggling a lot of things but still prioritized taking care of everyone. He even asked the kitchen to add some extra heat/spice to my husband’s wings, and he loved them. He is exactly what every company needs up front, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Definitely recommend this place!”

Black Rabbit 218 3rd Ave N, Nashville Tapas/Small Plates • $$
218 3rd Ave N, Nashville

“You don’t feel like you are in the business direct of Nashville. The vibe in this place is amazing. The service is 5⭐️ from the moment you walk in to the Black Rabbit. The rabbit rolls are incredible. Really any of their bread is a must order. The cherry glazed tuna was a stat in itself. We complimented it with the spiced tomato polenta which was very nice.For our mains, we had the half roast chicken and the ribeye. The chicken is one you’d ask for as your last meal. Tommy’s attention to detail is incredible. He was not happy with our steak and had it redone. It gave us more time with the chicken and the steak was worth the wait. The flavor the wood fire gives it is one of the best flavors ever. If you haven’t been here you need to try it for date night.Bonus: the live music is very good and not an intrusion to your dinner experience.”

A lot of times, I like to help myself when wait staff is busy. You order at the counter when you come in. You're given an order number for your table and your glass for your beverage. Find yourself a table and your food is brought to you and you help yourself to your beverage. I haven't ordered anything from the bar, so I can't help there.”
