    Calamari
    Ziad S.

    This is located in the lobby area of the Hilton Hotel at the Nashville Airport. The place is super clean and modern looking. They were busy and only one server/bartender on duty. I ordered a Calamari as an app. It was ok, nothing special at all, very basic.

    Main restaurant in the new Hilton BNA Nashville Airport Terminal. Clean, new, spacious, pleasant space. Looks out to a nicely designed and landscaped patio space that's also a walkway for travelers. Great local draft beer choices, good cocktail program. Wife thrilled to see the Aviator on the cocktail menu. It's usually called an Aviation, and they serve on the rocks, so just ask for up if you want the classic Aviation. The Doolittle Old Fashioned was excellent as well, really one of the best and more balanced old fashioneds I've had in a while. Wait staff's small plate to share recommendation was the hummus trio. It does make a nice sharable variety plate. We stuck with the "Chef's Top Choice" selections for our first dinner at Aviators. Wife liked the Night Hawk salad. She particularly commented on the soft boiled egg on top and how moist and flavorful the added chicken was. I had the Attaboy sandwich. Wasn't entirely sure what to expect based on the menu description, and was very pleasantly surprised. Two crispy fried pork chops, tasty slaw and sweet and slightly spicy bbq sauce. A really pleasure to eat, and would happily order again, though I may ask the shoestring fries, though very good and nicely seasoned, to be a bit more extra crispy next time. Left with the impression that dining at the new BNA Hilton, whether the slightly more upscale Aviators, or the casual rooftop lounge, is a winner.

    Charming service quick on refills and asking after your needs. The restaurant is inside of the hotel attached to the airport so it's convenient for travelers. Smoked salmon bagel sandwich is really good but has so much cream cheese I was genuinely struggling to eat it. My eyes are bigger than my mouth and stomach. I had to deconstruct the sandwich into something a little more manageable. 80s music jams, elegant atmosphere without the pressure of being formal. Vegetarian options available but very little for vegans.

    This is a wonderful place for breakfast lunch or dinner. I recommend the Alaboy sandwich. The venue is wonderful and conveniently located in Hilton. The Serveer remembers me from the last review. She is and was amazing. The fries should be featured they spiced them up with their own blend of spices. The Alaboy pork chop sandwich for lunch was superb.

    What an amazing bar! Our bartender, Oliver, was just the best! The sunset is gorgeous and the drinks are great. Highly recommend!

I had 4 meals including lunch and three of them were at Blackwood. Not just for convenience but it's that good. The Blackwood Burger was out of this world and I should mention I had it twice including today. A perfect compliment were the fries. Almost like a lite Beer Batter. Very crispy and very delicious. After living in California for so long I told James ( The Best Bartender/Server/ excellent Employee) I wish that I had an Avocado to put on it. That was my Big Back talking. I'm still thinking about those Fries. If your in California think nobody has better.and you hit the mark. Back to th Burger. My first night there I had a chance to meet the Chef, who is said to have done a complete overhaul of the Menu. As you can see from the picture everything was fresh. I also had a chance to taste their Wings which by this point I expected to be not but great. No disappointment there for sure. The Wings are Smoked than a lightly fried to a Crisp. None of those Pigeon Wings either. These were huge Wings and they were exceptional. I believe there are four flavors and got the BBQ Rub. I don't look forward per se to visiting offers for any particular thing othan business, but I'll be staying at this Delta by Marriott on futur visits. I want to also mention that the Hotel Staff is second to none as well. I don't usually say, "I had a great time" on Business trips, but it felt like going home.complete with a hot meal. Thank you to Delta and Blackwood by Marriott for helping make my trip as well as my work completion a success. If you just so happen to live by here it's worth a shot. By the way a tried a Cocktail today made by James and let me tell you that Black.Berry Smash was outstanding. It took me back to my Drink on a Norwegian Cruise trip with the family. I had a seat at the end of the Bar and the Black Berry Smashes kept coming. James turned out to be able to make the perfect drink as well. I'll be back for sure. Y'all Holla' atchaboy'.

Was greeted by the manager as I searched for a spot to enjoy a couple of College games. I would have given a 5 star rating but the initial server didn't come back when I told him I was waiting on someone and watching the game. There were times when I needed some things and thankfully the other server saw I had a need and came to the rescue. That was greatly appreciated. The tip was definitely left for her, but I'm sure it may have been shared. I had the bacon cheese burger and fries and the fries were delicious; so was the burger, but the fries were top tier!

I got the grilled chicken with whipped potatoes and broccolini. It was decent and very filling. The bartender was very friendly and food came out fast. It was an average meal but glad I was able to find a decent place nearby to eat.

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.

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!
