    Salt  Pepper Salmon
    David H.

    Arrived into Nashville after 4 pm on a weekday, staying nearby at Homewood Suites. For health reasons trying to avoid barbecue, which in Nashville is near impossible. Selected Central Bar+Kitchen which is located inside a Marriott hotel. We were early for dinner so we had any choice of table. The receptionist was also our waiter. We shared a nice Caesar Salad w arugula. An app of crab hushpuppies, which was very tasty. Entrees was a salt and pepper salmon on a bed of cauliflower rice and some asparagus and a pork Cubano sandwich. The bread was a bit too thick, and the cubano needed a little dressing to moisten the bread and pork. Overall meal was nice. Quiet, classy, but no view, blocked by a closed outdoor patio. Staff attentive and the manager came out a couple of times to check on us.

    Great food, wonderful and professional service with great recommendations. Nice atmosphere for a hotel bar. Kirby Lye was fantastic and a fun professional bar tender. Plays a mean ukulele.

    Green goddess salad with chicken.

    I was early for lunch and was greeted by Anne who was wonderfully polite and accommodating. Had the deviled eggs and green goddess salad. Both were delicious!! Not your average hotel food.

We walked in around 5:00 PM, and there were very few people in the bar. We had a party of six, so we sat down at a table and waited. After sitting there for a while without anyone coming over, I finally went to the bar. Shortly after that, a waitress came to our table, so I went back and we placed our order. Then came another long wait, we waited about 20 minutes just to get our drinks, even though the bar was nearly empty. On the bright side, the drinks were great. I ordered an El Carajillo, and it was really good! The horchata crème in it was SOOOO good and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service issues continued. When the waitress brought the check for me to sign, I realized she had not returned my credit card. I had to track her down to get it back, and while doing so, I ran into another customer who had experienced the exact same thing. They have great drinks and normally provide a good experience, so hopefully this was just an off night. But on this particular Friday evening, with the bar barely occupied, the service definitely missed the mark.

    "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."

Not too far walking distance to the first one…read more It is a cigar bar more like a lounge with large comfy chairs but we were taken directly to the second floor via elevator. Thankfully that room had no trace of cigar smoke. We were told in its hey day it was originally a brothel. More tales of murder. We were cautioned to stick with your party around Printers alley and how one man went off on his own and was found dead floating in the river.
