How adorable is a secret garden theme bar! We came here to celebrate my birthday with a group of 12 and it was excellent. The T&R team was so accommodating, our food was delicious (get the taco platter for a group!) and our drinks were fabulous. Kat, our server, took excellent care of us and had fantastic recommendations for everyone. We also tried the adorable Secret Garden specialty batch cocktail drink (basically a flower bouquet!!!) and it was tasty and so fun to share. I know the themes change every so often, but I can't wait to see what they'll do next up here. Would recommend for a fun celebration with a group, girls night or a romantic evening! We requested an indoor spot because it's still cool outside, but I wish it was a few weeks later because the outdoor patio looks so inviting! I think we'll have to come back!
Interesting experience at Thistle & Rye, it covers the basis in terms of ambiance, vibe, decor , etc. the balcony seating is great with a cool view and I liked the drinks, but the food left a lot to be desired especially for the price, nothing against the cooks, the menu itself is pretty boring/uninspired, would go back if the price and food were better.
Unfortunately it was raining so we could not do the curling pop up bar experience. I did pay a deposit to hold our reservation but never got it returned or credited when we went for drinks and apps.
Igloo was freezing the heat they supply is minimal. They were giving people extra blankets. The bartenders were excellent, the wait time for food and beverages was long even though is wasn't overall busy.
Alright
The first thing I can say is that it's too dark. Had to use my phone to even read the menu. Drinks did not impress for the price. Food wasn't anything special either. Much better cocktails downstairs at Blue Aster from James. Now that is a fantastic bartender!

My friend and I had a fantastic experience! We visited during the Winter Disco Chalet pop-up and it was beautiful. The food and customer service were excellent- the Chicken Lo Mein was AMAZING. I would return & recommend to others!

We love the Thistle and Rye and visit it often. This time we decided to enjoy the igloo, it was so much fun. The Disco drinks were off the charts amazing and served in a disco ball which was adorable! We love the global street food menu Thistle and Rye offer. Noah was our main server and he was superb! We did not try the curling rink, however a really enthusiastic group were having so much fun... next time.

Thistle & Rye is located in the Conrad hotel. The food was amazing. We actually happened to arrived during happy hour and they had great deals and nice cocktails. We will definitely be returning there.

I didn't realize there wasn't a full dinner menu, but our waitress, Kat, was nice enough to call downstairs to Blue Aster to make sure they had room for us. My party of 3 just had a cocktail before leaving, and they were delicious and well presented (albeit expensive for the small amount).
I held a surprise birthday party for my wife and 30 of her friends and could not have been more pleased with the service and professionalism. Savannah, Nik and Heather were incredibly supportive and attentive to all details so that this experience would be memorable. The staff, food, beverages and ambiance were perfect 10's! Thank you Conrad and Thistle and Rye!!

A friend and I were in town for a few days and looking for new and unique places to eat. We found this restaurant online, checked out the menu and read reviews. The menu was interesting and we were looking forward to dinner. Unfortunately, we were very underwhelmed. The vegetable sides were amazing, and we were grateful for those as main dishes fell flat. Duck fried rice was ok so we ended up sharing that. Short Rib Udon dish was a big disappointment. Not sure what turned us off, but both of us took one bite and were done. Flavor was off. We might have sent it back and let them know if our waitress ever came back to check in. We were seated by ourselves and we saw her three times... drinks, order, bill. Overall, the meal and experience was not worth the expense.
great experience with a large group in this swank, but comfortable, new restaurant. Beautiful setting, lovely decor and ambiance. A welcome break from the Nashville hubub. Great service and delicious food as well. Every dish we had was full of wonderful Asian fusion flavors. Thanks to the staff for their attentive service.
The ambiance is great. The food are good for sharing, tasty asian foods. What brings us down is the service, it is terrible. We had to seat ourselves, took a while for service comes over and long wait for drinks. It was almost empty when we were there, no service or management around to check on us or offer another rounds. I'm not sure we will be back
We came here as a group of 4 adults and 4 teens not knowing what to expect. It wasn't very crowded and the menu looked very limited. However, the overall experience ended up being amazing! We had a quiet corner all to ourselves. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The cocktails were fresh and unique (highly recommend The Hermitage). The kids all loved the Yaki Udon bowl. The adults split several tapas, but our overall favorites were the Brussels sprouts and Cauliflower. My favorite was the Portuguese duck rice bowl I ordered. There were so many intricate flavors involved - duck, andouille, apricot jam, and castelvetranos. It was served with fried plantains on the side and a perfectly poached egg on top. So glad we chose to eat here!
