This time, we switched things up and hit it for lunch instead. Good call. We grabbed seats at the bar, where Todd was holding down the fort. The guy was outstanding. Drinks never sat empty, food came out smoothly, and he somehow managed to be attentive without hovering over us every five minutes asking if everything was okay. My wife started with the Nashville Margue, which goes down way too easy for something packing moonshine. Light, refreshing, and carrying enough kick to remind you you're in Tennessee. Then Todd introduced us to a Bloody Mary made with a new pickle-infused vodka. Now, that sounds like one of those ideas that should either be amazing or a complete disaster. Turns out it's amazing. My wife loved it so much she's already talking about coming back tomorrow for another one. For food, we started with the pretzels and beer cheese. Simple. Warm. Soft. Salty. Exactly what you want while settling into a Nashville afternoon. Nothing fancy, just done right. Then I went all in on the mac and cheese topped with Nashville hot chicken. Yee Haw. Creamy mac and cheese. Crispy chicken. That signature Nashville heat. Comfort food with a little attitude. Just the way it should be. The best thing about The Stillery is that it knows exactly what it is. Good food. Good drinks. Good people. No gimmicks. No trying too hard. Just a fun place to sit down, relax, and enjoy yourself. Fifteen trips to Nashville (together) and it's still one of our first stops. That's probably the strongest review I can give. Five stars.

    The Finch is everything you could want in an upscale restaurant: great atmosphere, great food,…read moregreat service! We had a larger (10) group celebrating two birthdays and the staff handled things without breaking a sweat. We arrived a few minutes late for our reservation but it was no bother as our table was still being prepared. On that note: highly recommend a reservation, this is a popular place! Once we were seated we had the pleasure of Nichelle, a wonderful waitress. She was on top of everything we needed or wanted and we had very little wait time for her return. Great service! And the food... DELICIOUS! As you can imagine, our group of ten had a good selection across the menu and there was not a single person who was disappointed. Everyone loved their amazing food. What tops everything off is the atmosphere here. It's popular so, as you can imagine, it's a bit noisy. However, I like to call it "lively". And they really nailed the physical design, so inviting and upscale. I'll stop there and simply say: check this place out, it's great!

She even went out of her way to get me a drink that had fallen off the menu a few weeks prior, a delightful cucumber spritz. The ambiance is awesome. As others have said, music isn't too loud, just pleasant in the background, so it would be ideal for having a conversation. The space is open, bright, light-filled, and stylish. Parking is in a private lot behind the restaurant and they validate parking for up to two and a half hours. I wish I could rave the same way about the food. While the cocktails were refreshing and they had a cocktail for every palate, my steak and eggs was bland. It came out a little closer to rare than medium, but I can live with that. But I am not sure I detected a speck of salt or pepper. The steak was at least tender and the sunny side up eggs were cooked appropriately. The potatoes were dry. And I did have the wagyu meatball appetizer. It's a large portion, so easily shared amongst two or three people. Cheesy and saucy with a little spice. The focaccia could've been toasted a little more. I considered the short rib hash, but my server told me it could be salty and hit or miss (I appreciate her honesty and she 100 percent should be praised for it). I came during brunch (even on a weekday). They also serve French toast, desserts, oysters, burrata, potstickers and tuna tartare, salads, burgers and other sandwiches. If you come for lunch or dinner, you can also get grilled salmon, blackened redfish, shrimp and grits, pastas (cajun chicken, pappardelle bolognese, tortellini) as well as various cuts of steak. It's conveniently located right across from the Frist Museum and is part of the Union Station Hotel. I would try this place again for dinner, but would skip the brunch. And again, Savanna was top tier! She deserves all the flowers!

I appreciate the 2…read morehours of free parking at the Publix across the street and the casual, seat-yourself environment of this restaurant. I've been here numerous times with friends and family and never not enjoyed the food and draft drinks I've tried. The Good Neighbor special is my go-to easy order, with a Lil Mel burger, waffle fries, and ML Rose owl lager for 12.99. Alternately, you can order the burger and fries portion for 8.99 with whatever other drink you'd like. My most-ordered appetizer here is the Nashville hot cheese curds, which are a simultaneously spicy yet comforting start to any meal. Service on my most recent visit ended up disappointing, as it went from being so friendly and attentive to then feeling passively rushed out (despite it being a cold, slow Friday night with plenty of available seating and time until close, especially when we'd been there maybe an hour or so and were finishing our drinks). However, I've never had particularly bad service here, and I will certainly be back - perhaps on a Thursday enjoying their all day 2-for-1 happy hour.

There was just one other in the restaurant which was nice because we got all the attention from our server. She was very bubbly and knew the menu well. There were tons of TVs around and they were playing college football. Lots of tables if you have big party. The food on the other hand was just ehhh. We ordered ice tea and it was very watered down. We ended up sending it back which I think in all the places I've ever gone and ordered ice tea I've never sent one back. She did apologize and said she would remake it but I opted for water. We had chicken tenders which were just fair and they were cold. We also had the Thai chicken salad it was just fair as well. It was just a sliver of chicken a a lot of lettuce. The restroom, it was very slick. I almost fell. It appears that they probably use the same mop to mop the kitchen (where there is grease) as the rest room so it's just very slick. All in all it was just ehhh. I think it has potential based on the location but it wouldn't be somewhere I would go out of my way to go to.
