“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 🍷“

“Dom was a delight - an incredible depth of knowledge about the wines, and a wonderful help in interpreting the menu - which was Amazing! On his suggestion, we got the pimiento cheese - so luscious and the prefect foil for the butter-baked saltines. Other stand-outs were the bacon and eggs, unctuous!, and the pork pate - everyone's favorite. There were 5 of us so we ordered all 5 entrees. Every single dish was an adventure - extraordinary. The pork with black walnut just was a big hit with our table. My favorite was the "Nashville Strip Steak" - a cut that was near the ribeye portion of a strip steak, I think? perfectly cooked, juicy, beefy,. The potato blinis were delicate and very tasty. Cannot wait to go back. I'm a foodie, and enjoy wine, but am not proficient. The AT ROca sparkling wine was delicious.“

“I enjoyed this place. I really wouldn't call it a restaurant per se since it is in a mall court, but it did well carving out its own niche. That being said, the offerings and pairings were delightful. We sampled about 7 or 8 plates. I mistakenly thought that you got wine to sample with certain cheeses, but that was not the case. This place is not my husband's thing, but he loosened up and picked several things for us to try. I think it's worth a trip just to experience.“

“Super cute atmosphere and yummy food!“

“This is my go-to spot when I’m on C concourse. I adore everyone who's ever been behind the bar, but Tsigereda this morning is a special delight! The breakfast tacos are just amazing (chorizo is my fave) and they are affordable as well…the perfect amount of food for me without feeling overstuffed or wasteful. Excellent Zing Zang Bloody Marys as well! You won’t regret stopping in if you need to kill some time and want to eat well.“

“We have always enjoyed our times here! Perfect conversation time to catch up with friends. The owner is also very welcoming and accommodating!“

“My boyfriend and I went to Postino’s for a little Saturday lunch date. The restaurant was packed when we got there so it was a great thing that we were recommended to make a reservation for the weekend. I’d definitely recommend doing that. We were able to get a table quickly and easily by doing that. We were immediately greeted by amazing service. Our waiter was wonderful, so friendly, and so helpful with recommendations on what we should order. While this place is known for their Bruschettas, we both opted for their paninis. I got the Prosciutto & Brie Panini and my boyfriend got the Chicken & Mozzarella Panini. I was really wanting something a little sweet and salty, and this was perfect for that. My boyfriend who loves sun-dried tomatoes, loved his as well. The sandwiches are also paired with your choice of a romaine salad or potato chips. We both got the salad, and that is definitely the way to go. The salad was flavorful and paired so well with the sandwiches. Also you can choose whether you want focaccia or ciabatta bread for your sandwiches. I was recommended to get the ciabatta with mine and our server said that either option is great with the Chicken & Mozzarella so my boyfriend chose the focaccia so we could try both. We also each got a glass of wine. I don’t drink alcohol so our server recommended the Leitz Einz Zwei Zero Sparkling Rose Non Alcoholic wine. If you want something that tastes and feels like wine without being alcoholic, this is the way to go! We also ended our meal with the Hot Donut Dots. They are served with three dipping sauces. Of the the the chocolate was easily our favorite because oh my gosh it is so good! Everything was so yummy! We had such a wonderful time. The main downside is that since it is in 12 South, it is a little challenging to find parking. There is free street parking, but you may have to walk a little. 12 South in general is a great place to walk around so find a nice day and it’s a perfect for that!“

“Eunica was our server. She was a delight. Such a great personality. She was so attentive . Everyone who brought our food out was so friendly. The food was outstanding. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The chilled lobster was delicious. The presentation of the lobster was perfect.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Beautiful restaurant. Outstanding food. Server was adequate but not as present as I would expect for this type of restaurant. We sat at chefs table which was fantastic except when food runners were chatting loudly waiting for food. But quality of the food was so strong that it overrides the service glitches.“

“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 ❤️“

“I attended the production of The Vagina Monologues last night at City Winery. It was wonderful. The only complaint I have is that servers kept walking back and forth (and often standing or talking too loudly to patrons) in front of us during the performance. That was annoying and inhibited our enjoyment and attention to the performance.
There should be some way to avoid this. Perhaps the venue staff should stop taking orders, serving food and drinks, and taking payment once a performance starts. If there is an intermission, it would be appropriate for them to interact with patrons. There was no such intermission during this program.
It really did inhibit my enjoyment of The Vagina Monologues.
The venue was great overall, though the seating was a little tight.
I'm glad to see that C W now has valet parking, though I wish it had been mentioned at the time I bought our tickets.“

“The Bluebird is the top destination for any singer-songwriter out there. I have played there 3 times and it was always my top highlights of going to Nashville!“

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

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

“Drinks were amazing. Out of town-ers and didn’t want to deal with the tourism on broadway. Fair prices, GREAT DRINKS; Shelby our bartender was a professional mixologist and so fun to talk with! Sat at the bar for 2 hours and never a dull moment.“

“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.“

“I’m not usually much of a wine drinker, but my visit to pont neuf bar completely changed the way I think about wine. Taylor, the owner, went above and beyond to help me explore different wines that suited my taste with no pressure, no pretentiousness, just genuine enthusiasm and care.

What really stood out was how comfortable and welcoming the atmosphere was. Taylor created a space where I felt free to share my honest thoughts and actually learn something new in the process. It’s rare to find that kind of passion and hospitality in one place.

Whether you’re a wine lover or someone who’s just curious to learn more, I can’t recommend this spot enough. Definitely worth a visit!“

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

“It's hard to beat Ruth's Chris. They are consistently the same at practically every location. One of the best steaks of any restaurant. Though we no longer have a RC in Kansas City (THEY NEED TO BRING ONE BACK), we visit one every time we travel. YUM!“

“Had a great experience last night at the Rutledge downtown. Steve was our server and he did a wonderful job at making us feel welcomed and provided outstanding service. This was my second time at this location and I truly enjoy my experience.“

“Absolutely love this new place. It’s beautiful and a has a great atmosphere—clean, with a lovely outdoor patio. I ordered the Lobster Tortellini and the Vongole (clams)—both fabulous. Great wine, welcoming staff, and they validate parking right next to the restaurant, which is a real plus. 5-stars!“

“The food was excellent and the service started out good but once the valentines rush came in, our table was kind of ignored the last 45 minutes of the evening. We were wanting dessert but it got so late we just ended up paying and leaving. Even paying took forever.“

“Have been looking for restaurant that has similar taste to what Italy has. We ordered the Marinated olives, bread and meat balls as appetizer, flat iron steaks and finished with tiramisu. Everything was delicious! The olives were so good that I bought a jar of them to bring home. Will be back!!!“

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

“Delicious coffee!! Had the French toast which was so good!! When the check came I was shocked…much le$$ than expected. I’ll definitely be back.“
