   Very mediocre. Long wait for food that was cold and greasy. They were out of 2/3 of the items we wanted. Great ambience - but that's about all.

   It was just ok. It was normal bar restaurant quality, including the service. The Shishito peppers were amazing…. That was the exception. Had I known it was inside the hotel, I probably wouldn’t have gone. Booked off of open table and didn’t see that aspect of the space.

   We stayed at the Marriott and this is their Restaurant and bar. Sunday night is very slow here and we are early because we attended Ryman theatre! We love seafood and they had a red snapper and a Salmon! We shared this and was plenty for both! It was so delicious and beautiful over a bed of Aguilar with grilled asparagus. Very much a surprise! Had a beautiful patio but last night was windy and chilly in Nashville! Very hip atmosphere and nice employees! We’ll go back for sure!

   They were very short-staffed when we arrived, but Connor the bartender knocked himself out to give us great service. The tomato bisque was amazing and the chicken adobo salad was great. The salad was made even better, though, by the super cool way they present it. My daughter declared the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich "bring a tear to your eye good." Highly recommend this great lunch spot.

   We live in Nashville and decided to try this restaurant because it came back in a search for gluten free options. We were pleased they had gluten free bread and knowledgeable staff. The options were limited, though. We decided on burgers that were tasty and safe but pricier than we would normally pay for burgers. The wine, however, was good and reasonably priced for what we got. The live music was an extra bonus.

    Pretty disappointed...tried to do the $25 Winter Wonderland deal and they said even though it was raining they could bring it inside..we get there and they said no...the deal was not ready so had we had known we probably would have gone elsewhere. The server didn't know too much about the menu and seemed confused the whole time. I believe it is a newer place and they're working out the kinks but it was a pretty disappointing evening.

    First I would like to say this is the HOTEL restaurant, so when you’re looking for it it’s in the hotel. Next I would like to say my waitress was very nice and attentive and did a great job. Towards the end of dinner there was a random man who made us feel like he was rushing us out of the restaurant. He offered to get us the dessert we ordered to go because they were running behind and that was odd because at no point did we say we were in a hurry. Now the dessert we ordered, warm chocolate cake, was not warm. It felt directly out of a package it wasn’t even slightly warm. It needed to be microwaved for 30 seconds. The fact the whipped cream on top didn’t melt at all should have let them know it was warm. The steak had no flavor but the French fries were good. Ask for the jalapeño aioli on the side as a dipping sauce. The deviled eggs were the best part of the meal.

    Went to grab a quick dinner while visiting my son on campus at Vanderbilt. I made a reservation and was seated right away. Got a burger and swapped out the fries for salad. Food was good - typical burger. Not too many people around because of the time of year.

    Though it isn’t a typical in-hotel restaurant (no Marriott burger), it certainly isn’t worthy of being a standalone entity. The food was simple, bland, uninteresting, and simply “plopped on a plate” rather than plated with care or pride. The service was the minimum to be expected.

    Mediocre is the word that comes mind about my dinner here. And why doesn't the listing just come out and say it's in the Marriott hotel? It would have been a lot easier to find. The manager and my server were good, but the menu is uninspired and the food was just ok.

    The food took a very long time to come out, an hour+ and then was very cold. The steak was extremely burnt. And our waiter let us know the kitchen had been having issues and we will get our meal refunded. The manager came by and offered us free drinks - so we thought for the inconvenience. However after we enjoyed our drinks, he let us know we could not get our meal refunded. After asking to speak with another manager he gave us the business card of someone who could not and would not be able to help the situation according to the waiter. After receiving the correct business card from the waiter we gave the original card back and promptly left. Making sure to still tip our waiter since it was never an issue of payment, just service. Easily one of the most unprofessional services I’ve encountered. People see black women & automatically think we can’t afford nice things. Very disheartening especially during BHM.

    This place has a lot of potential but sadly seems to be affected by the staffing problems everyone is facing. Our server was nice and tried to be helpful but our drinks took forever and the food was lukewarm. That being said, it wasn't really all that bad, and we still managed to enjoy our meal and have a good time. We opted for the Valentines day appetizers which were delicious. The Lamb lollipops stole the show and were hot and crispy versus the bison meatballs which tasted good, but we're cold. How the lamb was warm and the meatballs cold on the same plate, was perplexing. For enteees, we got the NY Strip and the Salmon dishes. Our friends got the Burger and the Seafood Linguini. All were very good. We ordered wine with our dinner and had to ask for them when we were almost finished with our food. It took another 5-7 minutes for them to come. So, again, we enjoyed ourselves but would give feedback that the service missed the mark and the problems could be improved with quicker service to ensure food was not cold and drinks accompanied the food as ordered. Overall, we still would recommend this restaurant with hopes that they'll make improvements in this area.

    I made a reservation for 10 am and when I got there, they said they don't accept reservations for breakfast. They sat us within 20 minutes which was fine. The server was very short and seemed in a hurry. Possibly they are understaffed. I didn't realize this was a hotel restaurant until after I made the reservation otherwise I would have picked something else.

    With 6 people (a party of 4 and a party of 2) in the restaurant it took 15 minutes to seat my party of 2 for our reservation. After finally being seated for brunch we ordered mimosas and coffee. We attempted to order pancakes but were told there weren't any, we attempted to order waffles but were told there weren't any, we attempted to order their french toast but were told there weren't any. We decided to leave. The manager was gracious enough to comp our drinks, thank you.

    The food was gross. It came out cold, there was no flavor to it, and it made you not want to eat it after a couple of bites. The server was run ragged because there was no other servers inside so service was a bit slow, but understood. I would never go back, that’s for sure.

    Apparently they’re having issues in the kitchen . It was 45 minutes before our salad arrived only to then have our dinner served five minutes later which was lukewarm. They were out of the one wine I had ordered. The waiter was very apologetic and comped us desserts. There was no one else in the restaurant so it wasn’t like they were busy. I hope they can get it together.

    Our waiter/bartender tried his best but was working alone for most of our visit. He was very friendly and made great cocktails but was really struggling to wait on the entire dining room solo. The appetizers were AMAZING - deviled eggs, and crab hush puppies. Divine. The ambiance was...hotel-ish. The main course...shoe leather steak. The other choice was salmon which was not bad. I think there was a third choice of a quinoa bowl, but that was it for main entrees. We were looking for a fancy night out, but due to Belmont graduation we were unable to make reservations within a 15 mile radius of Nashville, save for this place. Should have stayed in Hendersonville.
