“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.“

“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.“

“Super cute atmosphere and yummy food!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good food but a bit expensive. However, the experience was unique. I had the classic for 2 with a small seafood paella and it allows to try things that I'd never order. The steak and chorizo along with the sweet potatoes were the best 👌“

“I wish one of the many notifications I received was instructions on how the night would go. I showed up at the last second right before the music started and that was apparently a horrible mistake! I was starving and served one drink and then I had to wait till the band finished before I was offered any other food i drink which only came after I complained about starving.
The venue is gorgeous and I was underdressed. Since I/we were there to hear the lead guitar it would have been nice if it was slightly louder as a note to the sound guy. I only really heard him clearly when the drums were playing very quietly“

“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 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. 😍“

“The staff was amazing and the music was🔥“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Ruth's Chris Steak House! The food was phenomenal — perfectly cooked steaks, delicious sides, and every bite was worth it. But what truly made the night unforgettable was the amazing service, Madi was absolutely fantastic. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. From start to finish, it felt like a true fine dining experience. Highly recommend for a special night out or anyone looking for top-tier food and hospitality! Would go back in a heartbeat!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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