    Blackened Salmon
    Catina C.

    I have been a regular at Hilton BNA and as a result a frequent visitor of the dining options at not Aviators and Sky Pavillion. Qualified staff are often doing it all between the bar and restaurants. I'm there weekly and two standouts from the beginning are Kelly and Shelly. Every single time I see them smile... Joy instantly comes to my spirit. I first met Kelly as a bartender and patrons were eating out of her hand. She sold me on drinks that I never tried before and honestly I stayed hours because of her and all the guests she engaged. She had an amazing personality and very good art her craft. I stopped going to the Sky Pavillion just because she wasn't there. I was happy to see her at breakfast this morning at Aviators and she didn't miss a beat. Fast response. Nice recommendations. Made me feel like I was back at home with family. I adore her. The food was great also! Comfortable dining. Shelley is another standout that I see often. She's funny. You can see her heart. She's beautiful inside and outside. She's a great server also. Where do you find these amazing people???? Please keep them and please let them know that they are fantastic.

    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.

    Smoked salmon lox bagel sandwich

    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!

    This place is such a hidden gem in the Donelson area!

Their specialty is craft beer and pizza, and they I typically go for both of those when here. On a recent visit for a quick dinner, I wanted something a bit lighter because I had to go play bowling after and tried a menu item that's always intrigued me: the blueberry chicken sandwich on their house made panuozzo bread. I expected this would be like a chicken salad but the waitress said it came hot and melty, and I was in the mood for a risk. And man did the risk pay off, this sandwich was one of my favorite things I've eaten all month! It comes hot and melty with a house made pesto, blueberry compote, fontina, and thin pieces of chicken, perfectly cooked. The panuozzo bread is almost as if you made naan out of pizza dough, and it keeps everything nicely contained without making the sandwich too bready. The flavors are unexpected but work so, SO well together - truly a work of genius. I paired it with their shake shake fries, which have an awesome seasoning (not spicy, just adds flavor) and a Diet Coke. Service was so kind and helpful, even on a busy Wednesday night. I was able to get in and out within 40 minutes, which was a win for the time crunch I was in but I still felt relaxed to eat my sandwich at my leisure. I love it the level of consistency in quality and service here after so many years - I truly always know I'm guaranteed to have a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere with helpful servers every time I come. Nice dedicated parking lot in back is just an added bonus to the overall experience here!

Every time we come I want to try something different but I always go back to the double smash burger with fries. Great for large groups & kids! Servers and staff were excellent.

    Loved this place! We just happened to stop in after the horror convention for a quick brunch. The…read moreserver was super nice, but might've been new. Seemed like a good dude though. The wife had this French dip sandwich that was soooo good, and I had the quiche. The quiche was great, but it wasn't the whole quiche it was only a little slice. I don't know if that's normal or if I've just not had enough quiches in my life. Either way, get the cheese grits. Them shits bang.

    Beautiful restaurant and bar area. I had attended a work shop here previously and saw the food…read morewhich looked very tasty. If you are looking for old school bar food then look no further. Let me say bottom line everything was fine, but nothing was show stopping. I went with my partner in crumbs who we like to split food and we were excited to order the jackson and the chicken chilies sandwich. I find it hard to believe this was the same Jackson experience that Guy Fieri had. It was tasty but the bread to topping/au jus ratio was an after thought and with limited toppings the sandwich seemed small. The server recommended the mac and cheese and it was good but felt like a ready made. The chicken sandwich again it was fine super thin chicken with limited toppings. I with this we got the broccoli salad it was yummy. Since it was my birthday we got a brownie...the parts that weren't rock hard were tasty.
