“This was my first time trying Bad Idea and it won’t be the last! The inside is beautiful, and the service was fantastic. Heather is incredible and truly made my visit! I wasn’t crazy about the chicken, but the pimento cheese was delicious!“

“I have brought family and friends to sixty vines a few times and really enjoy their atmosphere, food, and service! Each time I have been has been 10/10. Parking down on 5th broad and going up to the top is so quick and easy as well. The food is fresh, wine is delicious, and the atmosphere is a fun boho vibe. I have had the pleasure of having Johnathan as our server the last few times and he is so personable , fun, kind, and one of the best on broadway!! One of my favorite spots In Nashville 🍷“

“Hands down the best all around dinner experience in Nashville. Presentation was off the charts! This was our first time visiting, they had a “Christmas Eve” menu which looked delicious but we came with our hearts set on the steak; no questions asked the kitchen was happy to adjust, we received the best steak we have tasted yet! The staff was beyond wonderful, the atmosphere was perfect. Love love loved Yolan; this will be a must have every time we visit Nashville! Thank you Yolan for the perfect Christmas Eve experience!“

“The chips and salsa are super tasty! The chips are crisp and not too thick.

My husband had the shredded beef tacos (a short rib) which were great. Not too big.

I had the chicken club. The bread Is thick toasted sourdough with a chicken breast so it’s a substantial sandwich. Love the avocado spread on it! I could not even finish half.

Love the food! There’s only a bar seating area and the airport is loud. That’s the only down side.

This place is a keeper in an airport that has limited airport lounges. This is way less expensive than paying for the admirals lounge. Just a thought if you’re debating!

“I had such a wonderful experience at Postino while visiting Nashville from out of town! My friend and I stopped in for lunch on Labor Day and grabbed seats at the bar, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our afternoon.

Molly was our bartender, and she was beyond excellent. She was incredibly warm, attentive, personable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. Great service can completely shape an experience, and Molly absolutely did that for us.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the hospitality was even better. I’ll definitely have Postino on my list whenever I’m back in Nashville. Huge thank you to Molly for making our visit such a memorable one!“

“Super cute atmosphere and yummy food!“

“This continues to be my "go to" spot for dinner before an event or concert in downtown Nashville. Tapas is a great way to try lots of the menu items and share with friends. The service last night was outstanding and it wasn't as crowded as usual. you MUST try it!!“

“Good vibes. Amazing staff. And the food… good grief. I haven’t had tapas so good since I was in Spain. Everything was absolutely amazing and the olive oil cake was out of this world.“

“I have an amazing experience at Cheba Hut! Jenna is absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the event so enjoyable. The food is always incredible too; everything is fresh, flavorful, and served just right. From the first bite to the last, it is clear that they really care about quality and customer experience. Jenna and the team truly made this a five-star place—I can’t wait to come back every week. 😍“

“My fiancé and I are from Athens, AL and we love stopping by the Catio every time we visit Nashville. It’s always a nice start to our trip. Very friendly staff and very adorable kitties ❤️“

“From the moment we walked into the restaurant and were warmly greeted by the host staff, we knew we were in for something special. The dining room struck a perfect balance between comfort and elegance, creating a truly inviting atmosphere.

Our server, Sky, elevated the entire experience. She was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations that did not disappoint. She also went above and beyond with small touches—like keeping our bread plates refreshed—which made us feel genuinely cared for.

The appetizer, especially the prosciutto and delice, was outstanding. Our cocktails were equally impressive: the sage and gin was crisp and refreshing, the Bellini delightfully sweet, and the espresso martini rich and indulgent.

As for the entrees, everything was executed beautifully. The shaved steak was tender and full of flavor, the eggs Benedict perfectly cooked, and the American breakfast plate was generous and satisfying.

Between the exceptional food, attentive service, and beautiful ambiance, the entire experience was unforgettable. If you’re visiting Nashville, I highly recommend this restaurant. And if you have the chance, ask for Sky—she truly made our visit feel special. A solid 10/10.“

“We definitely enjoyed our stay! The roof top bar was amazing. I had the best experience with Tyson up there. He was so kind and knowledgeable.“

“The staff was amazing and the music was🔥“

“This is a great place for a quick meal.“

“Ever since Martha’s opened, it’s been a staple in the East Nashville cocktail scene. The atmosphere is great- an easy going, unpretentious, neighborhood bar with a pool table and plenty of space for everyone — whether you post up at the bar or grab a booth with a large group of friends. Alex and his staff are knowledgeable, friendly and continually update the menu — plus they have pop up food vendors which is not to be missed. I’ve been here on quieter nights and I’ve also seen the place completely packed (Halloween and Christmas-time). The staff has been GREAT in all aspects. Always looking forward to my next visit (especially when the Phil Collins playlist comes on).“

“Amazing food!!!! The meatballs & pasta are absolutely delicious!!! The pasties are perfect!“

“This was my first time visiting Ruth Chris and I was impressed. The food was delicious! The ribeye was seasoned so well! Our server Sophie was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu items. She gave us great recommendations. She gave us awesome service and made our anniversary dinner a very special one. I will definitely be back!“

“Cam was an awesome bartender and took great care of us, she even gave us recommendations of what to do in East Nashville,“

“I came here tonight for a friend’s birthday and the hospitality, food, and vibes were a 10/10!! Staff were so friendly and eager to make sure my friend had an amazing experience. It felt like one big party with delicious food and vibes. At the end we had an issue with the check and they went above and beyond to fix it for us. Please go if you’re celebrating anything at all, I had a TIME“

“Frankie’s — Our New Go-To Italian Restaurant!

Frankie’s is definitely not a restaurant you want to judge by its cover. Walking in, we honestly didn’t have the highest expectations—but our perspective changed very quickly!

The service was friendly, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. Our waitress walked my wife through the cocktail options, while the sommelier offered to take our bottle of wine and chill it in their cellar. Those little touches made a great first impression.

And the food? An absolute 10!

As our waitress highlighted the menu, I asked if they had bruschetta. They didn’t, but she suggested combining two dishes to create our own—and we did! Their Heirloom Tomato Salad was fantastic, especially paired with their olive oil. The flavor was terrific.

For our main courses, my wife ordered the Tennessee Corn Ravioli with Crispy Prosciutto, and I had the Cavatelli with Hot Sausage and Browned Sage Butter. Both were absolutely fantastic.

Since moving here, we’ve been looking for our “go-to” Italian restaurant—and we found it!

Overall, we couldn’t have been happier. The food was a 10/10, and the service and care from our waitress and the management were excellent.

We’ll be back over and over and over!

Our only suggestion: as the sun sets, several tables get hit with direct sunlight. A little shade would make the experience even better and keep guests from getting blinded during dinner. 😎

But that’s a very small issue compared with how great everything else was. Frankie’s is a winner!“

“Came here to see Tanir Morrison play some jazz.

Located in the Harding House building this cool little wine bar serves good beers, tons of wines and snack style foods. You can bring food from any of the other vendors in and some deliver to you there.

Great sound, small but plenty of seating and a great bartender whose name has slipped my mind.

Here's the Breakdown:

Cool place to watch a gig with great service and a surprising beer selection +5 stars.

I would go back to see another performance.“

“We came in for some dinner on a Tuesday evening and ended up staying for a couple of glasses of wine at the bar. We were a bit unsure at first because the atmosphere was a bit low since it was a Wednesday, but the music and staff were great. We were able to taste any of the wines on tap and we were served by Alice and she was fantastic :) We could browse the wine shop too with no time pressure. I would definitely recommend for a casual evening.“

“Had a great meal at Evelyn's. We had a few issues that were resolved completely by management . Food was great and we were a large party so we had the back room to ourselves. Service was great. My only issue was the lack of gluten free items on the menu. Over all a nice restaurant.“

“Vacation coming to end fine dining enjoyed a sultry meal and great service.“

“Had great experience. Friendly staff and yummy food with specialty coffee drinks.“
