I really loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, very warm and modern. Everything was so good, I would definitely return if I'm in town again.

We had a group of 8 and had a preset family style menu. Everything was delicious and they were very accommodating to any food allergies by providing substitutes. Service was fast and really professional.

Ive been coming to RAD since they opened. It's a must every time we come to Nashville. Their pasta game is always insane. Last night we had the agnolotti and mushroom pasta. The agnolotti was super flavorful, bright and down right delicious. We love sitting at the bar bc their bartenders are usually great to chat with and most importantly there is more room for the pasta bowls and plates. Tanner was spot on with his recommendations, he made an excellent old fashioned too.

I came in at around 7pm on a Thursday expecting a relatively quick meal. There was a 5 minute wait for one person for a communal seat in the middle of the dining area. I ended up ordering the butternut squash and the chicken. The butternut squash plate was OK! However, I cannot assess the chicken fairly since I had to take it to go. Unfortunately I had been waiting a long time for my food and I had to leave at 8:30pm. They were able to package my food for me to take as I walked out the door. For what it's worth, the oolong tea was delicious and the service was friendly! I may consider returning to try the pasta in the distant future when I have at least two hours set aside for dinner.Parking: Free street parking but you may have to find some a few blocks down. I parked in front of another restaurant that did not have valet running that day with their permission.

Excellent innovative food that changes constantly. Sweet potato fritters and butternut squash were phenomenal starters.

I highly recommend lemon chicken. It was well seasoned and cooked. The service was great as well. I also liked how it wasn't as crowded as other popular restaurants (it seems like they don't overbook/double book the table).

Charming & smallish. Super friendly, if a bit high-energy waiter. Awesome menu options, albeit it small. Wanted to try several. Trout was wonderful prepared with a well-paired sauce. Squash appetizer unique & tasty. Pasta was out of this world. Wine by the glass is over-priced & small pour. Expertly crafted cocktails.

Our server was wonderful, we had quick service, the food was great and the coffee was even better!

The food was tremendous, the staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm. Highly recommend the sourdough with seaweed butter, the penne ragu and the duck kale tagliatelle.

I took my parents here when they visited Nashville, and let me tell you - some of the best small/shareable plates I've ever had! Although their menu is on the pricier side, the complex flavors offered on the Rolf and Daughters menu make it worth it. The ambiance of this restaurant is cozy, modern, and sophisticated. In other words, if you are looking for a high-end restaurant with a memorable meal, this is the place to go! The few times I have been to this restaurant, the service has been amazing. All in all, Rolf and Daughters is one of my favorite places to go for a special occasion.
Over the top fantastic. Food. Wine. Cocktails. Service. Pretty sure this is my favorite restaurant in Nashville. Julian was professional, friendly and offered super solid choices for our meal. We loved it here and cannot wait to come back.

Made reservation online in advance. Parking was easy on the street. Seated immediately. Service was immaculate. I dined at the bar, as a party of one. Ordered the house shrub - delicious, I recommend. The sourdough was good, I didn't care for the seaweed butter. The sweet potato dish was tasty but not overly visually appealing. In fact most of the dishes were not (visually appealing). The trout seemed overly sauced with bernaise. The mulberries on the chocolate tart were yummy. The highlight of the evening was the conversation at the bar. Met some wonderful individuals, some also traveling solo and we had much in common.

The ambience is unfussy but sophisticated, casual but elevated. We sat at a shared table but didn't feel crowded. My friends had already been here and sang the praises of the food, but unfortunately we were all disappointed that night. The trout was fine, well prepared and rich without being heavy. The bread was good once you were able to break through the nearly burnt crust. The pasta dishes we ordered were so salty it felt like we had chemical burns in our mouths. One of my friends is very polite and ate it anyway, while the other waited for the server to check on us to maybe get something else. The server didn't check on us until the end of the meal, at which point the one friend didn't want to make us wait and so didn't order anything additional, and didn't want to take the pasta home since it was all but inedible. The restaurant was kind and didn't charge us for that pasta. Maybe it was an off night, but based off this experience I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone looking to impress.

Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and they really let their personalities come across in their work. The space is beautiful -- both inside and the outdoor patio that is open depending on the weather. Cozy, yet bustling with energy. The food is largely adventurous takes on pasta. Some really unique options -- the cashew watermelon was fantastic!

This was a really cool spot with a very unique and intimate dining room. It's a smaller venue so you're sitting closer to the other guests but I didn't feel uncomfortable with it. The food was exceptional. Rarely would I say I can tell if something is homemade, but I absolutely tasted the difference with these dishes. I got the pork ragu rigatoni and it was incredible. The noodles tasted homemade, and the sauce was super fresh. My girlfriend's dish was amazing as well. The only reason I gave this a 4 star rating instead of 5 is because of the wine pricing. We ordered 2 glasses each of their basic white wine and paid $100 for them in total. We paid more for the wine than the food itself! Otherwise this was a great spot and I look forward to trying it again as their menu changes daily.
