    Joyce Farms' Chicken
    Monique S.

    Unforgettable night! Thank you for making my son's 21st birthday and army graduation celebration perfect. The staff were so friendly, attentive and informative. It was a welcoming and comfortable environment. My son received so many congratulations and appreciation. He was overwhelmed with gratitude. The card on the table was a sweet touch. Sean was a fantastic, helpful resource to help us navigate the menu. The complimentary fries were the kick start to a great meal. Such a variety between the nacho and parm/truffle (which is always my go to with lemon aioli) were our favorite. The pickle flavored fries were also good. Not a sour taste it was more of an herb taste maybe like the pickling spices. We all loved our dishes. The steak were properly cooked, great cuts, hearty portions, and seasoned just right to let the meat shine. My brick chicken was huge, tender, and juicy. The delicious lemon notes came through and the au jus is velvety, creamy, and full of flavor . The bed of potatoes were like clouds of creamy, buttery goodness. I didn't want my bite to end but knew I had another ahead. The mac and cheese was delicious. The noodles still had a light chew and the cheese choice was excellent. It wasn't a heavy carb on the tummy. Brussel sprouts were out of this world. The char is everything to me. A little sweet hint and lime coming in the end to refresh the palette again. I'd go back solely for these. Creamed spinach was also fabulous. The crispy onions on top is brilliant texture. There is a perfect veggie/cheese ratio. The presentation of the smores dessert was fun and intriguing. All of the chocolate components were airy , not extremely sweet. The marshmallow ice cream needs to be sold everywhere. There just aren't enough good things I can say.

    Went for a business dinner and the food was absolutely amazing. We had a big group so we ordered almost everything on the menu and I have to say you can't go wrong with anything. The service was also top notch. I will definitely be back!

    Birthday dessert
    Cody H.

    I came here with a group of a friends for one of their birthdays. Once we got up the elevator (there was a line), we were quickly greeted. They had a birthday card ready to go. Multiple people came by throughout the night to wish our friend a happy birthday, which was great. Service was VERY attentive (but also not overdone). They were quick to fold napkins when you get up and to push in your chair when sitting down (I find the chair thing weird, but it's fancy I guess?). Our server knew the menu well and made some great recommendations. They bring you an appetizer of fries with a trio of dipping sauces (all delicious - but the fries were the part that really stood out). For apps (because we didn't know about the fries), we ordered the shrimp for the table. I also ordered the beef tartare, because I'd never tried it, and it was absolutely delicious! You wouldn't know it was raw beef from the flavor and texture. Next, I had the Orchard Apple salad. It didn't look like any salad I've ever had - kind of a stack of apples with stuff in between. This was probably my favorite dish of the night! Delicious. For the main, I had the 6 oz Wagyu filet. It was solid. We shared mashed potatoes for the table. They were too buttery for me, but some people really seemed to like them. Don't underestimate the butter: ... so ... much ... butter. We wrapped up the meal with too many desserts! The portion sizes were much bigger than we expected. They brought a little chocolate cake for our friend's birthday, and then we ordered the creme brûlée and the cheesecake. Both were really good, but I preferred the cheesecake. Finally as we were about to leave, they brought two small bags of caramel popcorn to take home. That was great as well, but more sugary than I preferred the day after this blow out of a meal. Overall, ambiance & view 5/5, food 5/5, service 5/5, prices 3/5. I'd come back, but I'd try to grab a drink somewhere else first and somewhere else after to save a bit of money. The food is great, but we spent $500 for 3 people with limited alcohol.

    The views are the main event here. Beautiful location ... but don't underestimate the food. The meal starts with crispy fries and sauces. There are a few dishes you must try. The lobster pot pie is a work of art. I had the NY Strip which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The desserts were a perfect way to end an amazing meal.

    Card left for us

    Went there with my wife for our Anniversary. The food and service was fantastic! Jennifer was a great waitress! I had a ribeye steak for $85. The temperature was right-on (medium rare +). My wife had the Lobster pot pie for $115. It was amazing and deconstructed tableside. They showed up with a pot and put on a plate first by taking off the crust. It had a 2 pound lobster and many vegetables. We ordered the king crab mac n cheese and Brussel sprouts as sides. My wife and I shared a Caesar salad (they split it) with breaded anchovies and grated croutons. Very Good! I forgot to add that everyone received 3 containers of differently spiced truffle fries matched with special sauces. See my picture. Beignets for dessert came with a giant salted caramel container for dipping. YUM! Since it was our anniversary they gave us a special layered chocolate dessert. I forgot that they started us off with a glass of free champagne and a signed card from the employees welcoming us there for our anniversary. We were given a table with a city view next to the window; I reserved a table weeks in advance and requested an earlier time if one became available. They texted me during the day and were able to accommodate us. They bottles of wine were very expensive as well as bar drinks but you have to expect it. The recommended bottle of wine was $135 based on what we requested from the Wine Steward. Most were 200-300 and more. I highly recommend but book in advance. Is in the JW Marriott.

    A5 Japanese Mitsobushi Ribeye.  Awesome steak cooked perfectly.
    Steve W.

    What an awesome experience! They sat us at the window so we could see Nashville from the 34th floor. Service was awesome, the best steak I've ever eaten! I ordered the A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye and my wife ordered the Australian Wagyu Filet. Sides were potato purer and brussel sprouts. Appetizer was the caviar Twinkie and we topped it off with the Old Fashion Infused Crème Brûlée. Definitely a great place to eat for a special occasion.

    Orchard apple salad
    Amy P.

    This was a fabulous dinner! I went for a birthday celebration and they included a signed card and a free dessert. The staff was attentive and thoughtful when I mentioned some food allergies. The orchard salad, baked potato, and crab cake were delicious!! My husband loved his steak as well. The cocktails were different and fun and of course the views couldn't be beat! While I have a fear of heights, it was totally worth coming up to the 34th floor for such a nice dinner!

    Duck fries
    Michelle B.

    What an amazing experience in downtown Nashville, just a few blocks from the infamous Broadway Street. My evening began with an elevator ride up 34 stories to the top of the JW Marriott building. Here one has a 360-degree view of the sparkling city. We were seated by a window, which was a lovely plus. Instead of the usual bread basket for the tables, we were served a trio of duck fries with each container having its own unique seasoning and accompanying sauce. My favorites were the truffle fries and the BBQ sauce (note they were not paired together). I ordered the lobster pot pie for which they are quite noted. It was prepared table-side and served from a large pot with puff pastry oozing over the top. The server sliced the pastry and placed it on a large dish, ladling the contents of the pot on top. Filled with whole lobster claw meat, potatoes, spring onions, asparagus, and mushrooms in a delectable sauce reminiscent of lobster bisque. The 2-lb lobster had been quartered and then put back together so that the full lobster lay atop the served entree. It was incredibly delicious. Ended the night with some very unique beignets. Service was impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a key event like a birthday or anniversary. And the lagniappe: a bag of chocolate-covered popcorn to take home!

    Sea Bass
    Sam S.

    Outstanding food, service and views. The only negative was the surly hostess. I will excuse her, because the restaurant was packed on a Monday night. We were seated by the glass wall with killer views and it felt like we were in Manhattan. Our waitress Katerina was excellent and explained everything in detail and frequently checked in on us. Paul - the 'Whiskey specialist ' was outstanding and taught us a lot about Bourbon and American Whiskey. The food was outstanding. The tuna appetizer and the complimentary fries with 3 sauces were very good. My daily special Wagyu fried rice was to die for and my partner loved her sea bass. I was given a birthday card, free dessert and cara.el popcorn to take home. I just loved this place and would highly recommend it

    We made reservation weeks ahead to ensure our dinner spot at this fancy popular restaurant. It's on the 34th floor of JW Marriott, with gorgeous 360 view of Nashville downtown. We arrived exactly on time and were taken to our table right away. The whole dining area looked modern, with a glass wine all on one side. I was so impressed they had a handwritten card on the table for our daughter's birthday. Our dinner started with a complementary set of fries. They put in 3 different types of fries with 3 different sauce. It was a nice bite size dish as we waited on our appetizers and entrees. We got the kid's butte pasta that tasted amazing, and also came with a giant fruit plate. We got the crab cake that was such a beautiful looking dish. The Twinkie caviar was a fun dish that actually came with a creamy Twinkie. For entree we got the signature Maine Lobster Pot Pie, a dish that they constructed right next to our table by cutting the crust of the pie and dumping the lobster and vegetables on top of it. It had huge chunks of a full lobster. The cream was delicious. We also got snake river rib, a perfectly cooked 8oz steak and side of seared scallops that soft like marshmallow. We finished our dinner the famous smoked campfire s'more. They also brought us an extra slide of cake with a candle to wish our daughter happy birthday. Overall we had a top notch dinner experience. Our server Brett was such a pro. All the staff members on the floor were so activate, all sharing the responsibilities of bringing out dishes, taking out empty plates, bringing drinks, anything they could do to ensure all guests were having a great time. It was our best dining experience during our Nashville trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an upscale luxurious dinner experience.

    Excellent food and service at Bourbon Steak. We were here to celebrate a birthday. The dining area is spacious. Lots of sunlight comes in. We get to see views of the city. The food is impeccable. The plating is appealing. Flavors are all definitely there. Absolutely love the lobster biscuit dish (video) and the scallops. Even the pasta from kids menu is delicious. They gave everybody complimentary fries with three different dippings. They are unique tastings. Only 1 Elevator can access this restaurant. You might need to wait sometime, but it's worth it. Highly recommend for date nights or special events.

    Sitting atop the JW in downtown Nashville, Bourbon Steak offers up city views with a side of delicious upscale eats and crafted cocktails! Being local to Nashville, we do not do too many hotel based restaurants, but on a recent outing, decided to treat ourselves to Bourbon Steak after a day of meetings. It was the perfect place to end a stressful day! The space is gorgeous, wide open with upscale decor, but slight retro vibes with all the curves through out. It is a wide open space with panoramic views of Nashville. While most tables have some sort of view, the bar area has a dedicated space for those who want all the views! To start our experience, we ordered a few cocktails and the Get Off My Lawn, a Gin based cocktail rooted in celery caught my eye. It was odd, but interesting and ultimately tasty! While we loaded up on appetizers, salads, mains, desserts and cocktails, one thing that I loved was the flight of fries and dipping sauces that they bring out as a complimentary starter for the table. Bread? Old news...gimme a flight of fries from now on! In addition to the fries, we went with the Wagyu Steak Tartare, a Wedge and Orchard Apple salad to share. From there we all went in different directions with our mains. I got the Miso Glazed Sea Bass, while my tablemates went with steak and chicken dishes. We paired our dishes with mac and cheese, potato puree, Brussels and broccolini. Everything was divine and cooked to perfection! To round our meal out, we all shared the Bananas Tart Tatin, a delightful and delicious way to end our meal! As you can imagine, service was impeccable from entry to exit. As we were wrapping up, they dropped off a couple of bags of house packaged popcorn, which added an extra delight on an already wonderful meal! Overall, Bourbon Steak is worth it. Whether you are staying at the JW, nearby or are a local, give it a shot!

    We traveled from Los Angeles to Nashville for my wife's birthday, and Bourbon Steakhouse made the trip 100% worthwhile. Located on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott, the city views are breathtaking and set the tone for an elevated dining experience. From the start, Nick (the manager) was fabulous -- professional, welcoming, and made sure everything ran perfectly for a special occasion. Our server Zavyon was outstanding: attentive without hovering, and gave excellent menu suggestions that were absolutely on point. Now the food... WOW. The Delmonico ribeye was cooked perfectly and bursting with natural flavor. The pan-seared sea bass was hands down the best I've ever had. The creamed spinach was superb -- rich and flavorful, easily one of the best sides we ordered. And the star of the night was the fat-washed wagyu smoked Old Fashioned -- the presentation was one of a kind, and it tasted just as impressive as it looked. Between the views, service, food, and overall experience, Bourbon Steak is the definition of top-tier fine dining. If you're celebrating a special occasion, this is the spot.

There was no live music available at the time, but they did have a DJ which I thought was spinning the turntable rather well. It's my bad that I didn't also catch on that his is basically a Tequila Bar, rather than a more general craft cocktail establishment. Judging by the well stocked bar and the word of our waitress, other alcohol and their associated craft creations are available, but it's pretty much off menu and not well into our waitress' repertoire. And yes, Cinco de Mayo was just a few days away. One member of our party just wanted a soft drink, which was not possible that night as their CO2 was down. That did make me wonder whether the non-alcohol drinkers had much to chose from here. I suppose we could have then wandered over to the Redemption Bar at Chief's? Anyway, we're not Tequila Drinkers, and since other drink options appeared to be guesswork, we left towards more traditional mixed drinks (and live music) at a nearby Printers Alley bar. This was a rare night that I really wanted a craft cocktail in a smooth environment, and in the end it just wasn't the same.

    "This used to be Blend. What a spectacular collapse in standards…read more The space is still nice and the humidor selection is solid -- unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Staff at the humidor offered zero guidance or recommendations. Drinks were forgettable, and we had to fetch them ourselves from the bar like we were at a college sports pub instead of an upscale cigar lounge. Then came the cigars. We were left to cut and light them ourselves, which would've been fine if every disposable torch in the place wasn't nearly empty or completely out of butane. Nothing says 'premium lounge experience' quite like fighting for a working lighter. To top it off, the moment a large group walked in, the bartender started loudly screaming out drink orders across the room. The entire atmosphere instantly shifted from refined cigar lounge to livestock auction barn. This place is living off the reputation of what Blend used to be. If you're expecting an elevated experience, look elsewhere."
