    Steak Frites
    Sabrina P.

    Very popular place. Tons of first dates, bar was packed. Very pricey but overall good experience. Bathrooms only okay Elvis songs so a cute topic to share. Deviled eggs and candied bacon we're amazing. Steak frites we're okay, they had a sweet glaze to them which I really didn't like. The meat itself was cooked well and a good cut I just couldn't get over sweet steak.

    Bricktop's is always a good idea! It's one of my favorite and most consistent places for a salmon Caesar salad in Nashville. The service is always fantastic and I'll always come back!

    Nice venue and an easy walk from Vanderbilt. Service was on the slower side(crowded restaurant) but our server was great and I appreciate that they seated our larger group despite not having a reservation. Food was a bit salty, and sushi rice on the wetter side, but good eats and our friends who got steak seemed happy.

    We enjoyed a relaxing dinner in this trendy spot in downtown Nashville before we hit the symphony. Great find. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the Chilean sea bass and the pork dumplings. Both were good but the dumplings could have been less chewy. The drinks were timely and they have a nice selection of wine by the glass. We will be back and I highly recommend this classic vibe before a special event or date night.

    Huevos rancheros

    I met up with a friend for brunch for the first time. We had reservations, but it seems you might be able to be seated rather quickly without one. The bar seemed to fill up fast. It's your typical chain steak house, but the seating is comfortable. Love: Eggs BrickTop's (cheesy casserole with the right amount of eggs & sausage); roasted potatoes (seasoned well & crisp); huevos rancheros (friend enjoyed this); chocolate chip cookie (warm with crispy edges & cold vanilla ice cream) Like: server (kind, helpful)

    Ambiance | Salmon | cocktails Ambiance - A perfect spot for date nights and special occasions, this restaurant features rich dark wood accents, dim lighting, and an intimate ambiance. Elegant yet cozy, it sets the stage for meaningful conversations and memorable dining experiences. Salmon - The salmon dish was solid--nicely cooked but not particularly memorable. Served with steamed broccoli and creamy mashed potatoes, it made for a well-rounded, satisfying meal. Good overall, but lacked the standout flavor to make it truly great. Cocktails - The lemon margarita was a refreshing twist on the classic--bright, citrusy, and well-balanced with just the right kick. It was smooth, easy to sip, and a solid choice for those who enjoy a zesty, flavorful cocktail. Pro tip: make a reservation during peak hours. Why not 5 stars: the service is a bit slow in terms of seating. We went 5-10 minutes before our reservation, waited 15-20 minutes only to see the restaurant was maybe 60% full. Overall, the service, while helpful was slow. They did a nice touch of giving my wife a congratulations note for her graduation dinner we did at her restaurant where everyone on staff signed her card.

    This spot is in a downward spiral. I literally sat there with my food that had issues for 10 minutes without a soul making eye contact. Finally decided to just eat cause I am an out of town we and was hungry. Then finished my meal and waited some more. Finally someone came by and asked if I was finished and I said that I was unhappy but done with the food. She took my food and pointed me to the check from the cup / didn't care that I was unhappy. I waited awhile and then had to literally flag someone down to get someone to acknowledge me and asked for a manager. After a few minutes a manager showed up by my elbow and just said "yes?". Confusing interaction but okay. I explained the story and she said she would comp my meal. I explained that that wasn't the point at all and I wanted to discuss the items more and she just said she would be right back and disappeared. Yeah, the level of care and service and food? Downhill. Do not go here if you care about quality.

    Crab Cake
    Jeff P.

    Fantastic restaurant, very accommodating to our last minute party of 10, got us in and the wait staff was phenomenal. The apps, had a little bit of everything deviled eggs 10/10, calamari 9/10 chips and dip 9/10 bacon 11/10, Caesar salad 9/10, overall fantastic flavor and perfect in presentation. Moving to dinner, I love crab cakes and these cakes were stiffed with crab and some of the best I've had, kudos to the chef! The drinks were spectacular pineapple martini's good banana bread manhattans phenomenal, had a glass of wine which was a red and teaming with flavor. Dessert was great carrot cake was moist and the icing was sweet and complemented the cake, key lime pie perfect. This place could have gotten 6 stars. Very good and worth every penny. I'll be back. Thanks

    Chicken Milanese. First time good choice!

    Great bar experience.. staff attentive engaging and all around good experience.. Several TVS to watch sports.

    Lobster bisque
    Abigal S.

    Stopped in for a late lunch with my partner. Surprisingly busy but cozy environment. We waited a bit to be served but the server made up for it with excellent service. I started with the lobster bisque which was delicious. I then ordered a crab cake which was pretty good. I wasn't expecting as fresh tasting of a crab cake but was pleasantly surprised. My partner ordered the steak frites and he enjoyed the meal. Great spot for a lunch date!

    Today I ordered the Shanghai shrimp to go and the waiter said the portions have been recently changed from 12 to 6 shrimp per appetizer. Since they cut the portion sizes is it fair to charge the same for half as much food?

    Of course not! There should be options for the customers in ordering and nothing has increased 100%!

It is tucked in a neighborhood in the West End, and most people were surprised we found it or had heard of it as non-locals. It is a very popular spot. We arrived 20 minutes early and snagged the last parking spot in the lot behind the restaurant. Eric R. wanted to sit outside, so we were directed to wait at the bar until a table opened up. I got the cucumber sage yuzu spritz mocktail, and Eric R. got a local amber beer. Our table was ready within 10 or 15 minutes, so we migrated to it for dinner. Our server was helpful in providing recommendations. We started with three shareables: the mussels in lemongrass serrano beer broth and grilled bread, tempura long-stemmed artichokes on Calabrian chile mascarpone, and the lamb lollipops with pearled cous cous. I tasted the lamb, and it was heavenly, like melt-in-your-mouth tender but with a lot of caramelization. That was really Eric R.'s choice so I let him eat the majority of it. I really enjoyed the mussels and the artichokes! Everything was hot and delicious. I was sipping broth with a mussel shell when the bread ran out, and the host came out with more bread for us! It was so good. We asked to see a dessert menu. Eric R. had a tough choice between carrot cake and blondie with caramel ice cream, but was steered toward the blondie and did not regret it. I asked what the house made ice cream was for the day, and it was coconut matcha with a white chocolate shell topping. That sounded so perfect, and it was AMAZING. The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was lovely, the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious! That is the answer!

The goat cheese with grilled peaches was absolutely amazing--great flavor and easily the highlight of the meal. If that were all we had eaten, I would have given this restaurant 5 stars. Unfortunately, everything after that was disappointing. I ordered the filet, which was one of the most expensive entrees on the menu, but it lacked flavor. The carrots were bland, and the potatoes were hard and also lacking in flavor. It was especially disappointing because everything was plated so beautifully. The cocktails were okay--beautifully presented, but not particularly memorable. I may come back and try a different entree, but I'm not sure the food was impressive enough to make this a must-return. I did not try the other items my friend got.

    Is there anything better than finding a delicious vegan restaurant with great customer service?…read more Avo is just that! I came into town late and was looking to pickup some food. The team was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to their menu and allergens. They walked me through the lentil walnut and cali burger and how to make those soy-free (remove the coconut cheese/queso). They also walked me through other options and were happy to do so, which can be rare. The Cali Burger had amazing spice and the sweet potato bun was soft and delicious. Fries and buffalo wings were on point! My non-vegan colleagues originally wanted to go elsewhere but ended up devouring their options as they couldn't say "no" when they tasted the food. Avo is a must try. Thank you for offering great vegan food and customer service. You have a lifer here!

    I really really wanted to 5* this place!!…read more We came extra excited for one of the fully vegan restaurants in Nashville, and the food didn't disappoint, but there were some notes that brought it down to a 4. Ambiance - casual. Maybe more casual than what we expected, but it's still a good place to come with friends or for a relaxed meal. Service - It was okay. Our server was really quite fantastic, but as the restaurant got busy, it became apparent that they may have been a bit understaffed. It might have been also a matter of expectation, but the food did come out much slower than we thought it would - took roughly 30 min for the food and 15-20 min for the dessert after we'd asked for it. At least everything was hot, which was really nice. Food - as far as appetizers go, the cheese board was quite satisfying! They had two clearly fresh and homemade cheeses and a bunch of other additions to the board that were fantastic. The Loc Mac and Chz was also really quite great and we kept on thinking about it well after the meal. The mushroom/walnut spread did overtake the cheese flavor a bit, but it did mix well overall. The Katsu tofu addition was not so great. No really marinated, just breaded/fried, so that was a bit disappointing. The cheesecake was fairly mediocre. The flavor of the actual cheesecake was very bland, and even the caramel and nuts were not enough to save that - it felt like it was prepared for fruit toppings in mind, not for more subtle flavors so that is one big edit that needed to be made. The gimlet and nojito were solid too We'd certainly come back if we were in the area
