    Our server told us in the month he’d been working, they only offered gumbo 3 times and it is highly featured on the menu. We were disappointed it wasn’t being served. Additionally there was a ruckus when we were first seated with another customer announcing to everyone about their negative experience there. We questioned our choice. It wasn’t awful but was just mediocre in every category.

    The food was great! We had a large group of 30 for a business presentation. The food and service was done before our presenter was done! Whoever makes that happen is outstanding. I am involved in these type of dining meetings frequently in my profession. The best large party service ever received in Nashville.

    Service was wonderful, we thoroughly enjoyed our food as well. Wife ordered the Lobster Roll and I opted for a Ribeye. We were pleasantly surprised with our food, some of the best food I remember having out anywhere in a while. Both of us enjoyed the atmosphere of the place- unassuming spot that is kind of hidden, great music, cool artwork. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality food in the area.

    I had eaten here before within the last 2 years and enjoyed it. The recent visit was to celebrate friend's birthday - which was stated on the reservation. The ordered entree for 2 of us was rated good. I enjoyed my seafood cobb very much. One order, the lobster roll, was not great - tiny lobster bites and only 3, dry ones. The server was friendly and wished my friend a HB but there was nothing special - not even a candle stuck in our dessert order. The wine list is good especially for Reds but light on white wine. Seasonal Sangria was very good. The biggest and oddest disappointment was that they had NO coffee...decaf or regular. No offer to brew some, just no coffee. Overall, just not as good as I remembered. Definitely not a place for a special celebration dinner.

    Waiter not familiar with menu. Service very slow, received salad one hour after being seated. Mashed potatoes were served cold. Staff spent a lot of time talking to each other and ignoring customers. Not worth the price.

    Do everyone a favor and Shut Down! After 45 minutes my husband and I finally got a beer, only to discover his glass was cracked down the side. Waited another 15 minutes to get a replacement and dozen oysters on half shell, only to discover they were full of grit and shell pieces! At this point we considered leaving but decided to stick it out. Wrong move. Since the menu is 75% seafood, we ordered gumbo but No-don’t have any. We both ordered “lump” crab cakes. Thirty minutes later I received one burnt, hard as a rock crab cake that was all filler, no crab on a broken saucer. Ten minutes later my husband received his—same way. He also ordered truffle mac n cheese which was a little flat bowl of pasta, tasteless and watery. I asked the server to speak to the Manager but she came back later and said she would remove MY crab cake from our bill……no Manager! We paid for the trash presented to us and left. Never again! Oh, and did I mention that the kitchen staff had to fan the area open to the dining room? Someone burned a dish obviously at high heat and smoke was billowing out. As we were leaving we noticed a sign saying a new location was opening soon. What a joke!

    Very poor service. Wasn’t told up front what items were sold out (most of the popular items) until once we ordered. Drinks and food took forever to come out (waited over an hour for the entrees) despite it not being busy. Was told several times our food was almost ready yet continued to wait half an hour. Steak was room temp when it arrived. Was told our food started to be prepared along with another large party’s order that arrived much later than we did. Asked to speak to the manager/owner several times but s/he never showed. It was also super smokey in the entire restaurant. To top it off, when I arrived, I let the hostess know there was a birthday in the party and asked if they did anything special for birthdays (i.e., dessert) to which she responded “Oh I don’t know.” Also asked the waitress but nothing was ever brought.

    Totally a great find! Our group was very thankful to find this spot, we received very attentive service and our food was awesome. The steaks were perfect, loved the wedge salad and Salmon and Grouper were our favorites. I'm excited to go back with my husband and try more of the menu.

    When we walked in we were surprised it was more of a bar-type atmosphere. Our server was friendly and greeted us promptly. We ordered 6 oysters and Brussels to start. The oysters were only partially shucked and we had to ask for lemon, crackers and hot sauce. The Brussels were lacking some salt. We shared the filet which was delicious and the sauce it came with was completely unnecessary. The lobster mac and cheese was also good. My cocktail was lackluster. When the bill came, everything was priced incorrectly and $2-3 higher than the menu listed. We questioned our server who said the menu must not be updated. We asked for the manager since it was clear she wasn’t going to fix it. They fixed the bill but wouldn’t correct the price on the filet, stating ‘market value’. Nowhere on the menu does it say prices subject to change. The food was decent, ambiance not appealing and prices (before the price-hike) more like more expensive restaurants downtown. Next time we’ll skip Ludlow and Prime and just go 10 minutes further to Eddie V’s.

    This is right down the hill from me and can’t I believe I did not discover the best happy hour menu in the south suburbs until recently. The waiter guys here are completely top notch. Chefs do great work.  I’m bringing my friends in at least once a week. Tom Nilsen

    What began as a bit of disappointment that there was NO Gumbo available that evening rapidly transformed to excitement over the Shrimp & Grits! Ludlow & Prime has revised the recipes for Gumbo and Shrimp & Grits, and the upgrade was delicious! My wife had the Classic Ludlow Burger and said it was cooked to perfection. All of the Staff was super friendly and helpful, highlighted by the excellent service provided by Matt F. our server. Always an enjoyable experience at Ludlow & Prime!

    The happy hour alone is worth driving from downtown Nashville. Oysters, wedge salad, artichoke dip, burgers, multiple wines and cocktails for three of us all under $50. The quality of the food was spot on- atmosphere is super chill, lots of local artwork and unsuspecting since it's located in an outdoor shopping center.

    Great company dinner, we hosted a large group after our convention. Service was prompt, attentive and food was excellent, especially for a large group (we had about 30 attendees). Everyone raved about the food, I especially loved my Filet! We'll book at Ludlow & prime again next quarter.

    Our family loved dining here! Last minute reservation and they accommodated, service was great and so was the food. Loved the menu, we all felt like there was something for everyone. Faves were Crabcake, artichoke dip, ribeye and the macaroni & cheese. I had a grouper special which was super fresh and delicious. Looking forward to returning to try some more!

    Honestly, I never wrote reviews but we had a 6:30 reservation and did not leave until after 9:30 pm. We waited for over two hours for our meals and our waiter never apologized or offered any credit for the issue. It was such a disappointing experience.

    Our waiter (Chandler) seated us, took our wine order, and was quickly back to discuss the menu options. He was very knowledgeable of the menu, preparation steps, and had New Orleans memories that coincided with ours. The restaurant has modified its gumbo preparation with extremely tasty results. We had a shared cup of gumbo and then to small house salads with salmon. The salmon was smoked, but the smokiness did not have an effect on the flavor! The entire meal went together very nicely and was very enjoyable. This is a great neighborhood restaurant; not too big, very comfortable with exceptional food and service. We will be back, and next time I am ordering a bowl of gumbo!
