    Churros
    Remy V.

    So glad I gave it another chance! Ty and Mike are amazing bartenders who truly know how to take care of you. The food was a total standout--the carne asada tacos and churros were easily a 10/10. But it's the atmosphere that seals the deal. Between the stunning sunset views around 7:30-8:00 PM and the incredible music, it feels exactly like a high-end, upscale nightclub hidden in the rainforest. Highly recommend!

    This place has so much promise. We arrived for Mother's Day brunch to a place with an awesome upbeat vibe. We were so excited to eat here. Until we sat for 15 minutes waiting on a server to acknowledge us. It all went down hill from there. The menu looks interesting. And so we ordered our drinks and an appetizer. At this point. We have sat 30 minutes before the drinks were brought out. Still no appetizer. Appetizer finally came. It was actually the highlight of the meal. The street corn dip in case you're adventurous enough to give this place a shot after reading this review. Mains came and were alright. Not $200 lunch alright though. There were so many missteps from one entree taking 15 minutes longer to come out than the other 3. To our silverware being taken away after the appetizer and not being able to eat when our entrees came. Overall this place feels understaffed. mismanaged and without drastic changes it feels like this will be another Nashville restaurant casualty. There are simply too many GREAT restaurants in nashville for us to tolerate experiences like this.

    COA sits atop the Canopy Hotel in The Gulch and was recently recommended to us for a chill afternoon rooftop cocktail...and the recommendation was spot on for what we were after! COA is a Latin inspired space with a vibey dining room and bar area with cozy seating and a few communal tables. While the interior peers out over a bit of Nashville, the outdoor areas have the best views of the city! The outdoor area has a variety of seating from lounge areas to formal seating plus a few spaces that are dedicated to standing and enjoying the views. While the food menu looked great, we were after cocktails. We had a collection of beer, wine and cocktails. Beer and wine were great, and the wine glass was a nice touch and different. The cocktails were tasty and strong, and again served in cool glassware. Prices were standard hotel prices. Nothing crazy, and the cocktails seemed worth it. Service was friendly and welcoming. From the moment we got off the elevator to being sat, at the bar and then departure...everyone was helpful and friendly. Overall, COA was a cool spot for an afternoon rooftop cocktail. I have heard the night views are even better and the food is great, so I look forward to returning!

    Soft Serve Margaritas
    Makaylin M.

    I went to COA to check out their new Soft Serve Margs and these were delicious! You can actually do a swirl of strawberry + pina colada which was such a good mix! You also get a candy pineapple, strawberry and tajin straw. This was SO refreshing, it's not too strong either so if you don't like alcohol you'll still like this. The perfect ice cream consistency, I'll be back!

    Cute vibrant new rooftop, the fire girls are on fire. The staff is genuinely so nice and kind. From security, to servers to bartenders. Just kind people, and great service. Drink were good too. The vibe was just awesome. Music is a tad too loud, but oh well, you live in Nashville long enough you ll end up with hearing aid regardless!! Food looked amazing, will be back to try it!

    Fruit Cocktail

    The brunch experience on the rooftop with an amazing DJ is a vibe in itself! The fiod was very well prepared. The soft serve margaritas were everything I could ask for. Down to the real strawberries and candied pineapples that garnish the drinks, I had a great experience!

    Ceviche
    Meki A.

    Came here for opening night to celebrate my friend's birthday. The valet was super nice and informed me that the first 2 hrs are free and it's $25 for 4 hours after that. As soon as walked through the hotel doors I was greeted again and was told how yo get to the rooftop. COA is located on the 11th floor. My friend abd I met for dinner around 6 and stayed for like 4.5 hrs. We started with the guacamole and ceviche. She ordered a mocktail and I got a Gimmlet with vodka (soo good, I usually get it with gin). We then ordered and bahi fish, pork belly, and carne asada tacos. Our favorite was the carne asada. We couldn't make up our mines on the desserts so we got them both, churros and their spin on strawberry shortcake. They were both soo good but our favorite was the churro dessert. As the night progressed, it got busier and busier. After we ate, we took a spin around to check out all it had to over. The patio and views are amazing and it waaay longer than you works expect. I can't way to come back with my husband.

    Food and drinks were really good! The soft serve margarita tasted good, but probably not something I'd get again. Service was top notch, Kris was THE BEST!!!!

    walking in, immediately it's such a vibe ! The lighting the rooftop the layout -so nice ! The service was on point, the girls are super sweet and attentive. The drinks were okay, i sent my 1st one back and ordered a strawberry margarita with coconut cream on top and it was amazing. We got one of every taco option. My favorite was the pork. The esquites is a MUST, my favorite thing we got! The ceviche was gooood but wouldn't repeat. The churro ? Also a MUST. DELICIOUS!!!

    Food had a great presentation. Manager stepped in and took care of our service as we had a rude complaining person nearby. View was exceptional! My favorite was the shrimp. I consumed it so fast that I forgot the pic. Ha

    Inside Area

    We attended the COA New Year's Eve bash. You could buy a table, but once we bought our tickets the tables were sold out. We were, however, able to buy the premium package which included open bar with premium liquor, complimentary food and an early entry of 8 pm. The general admission package also included complimentary food and a well liquor open bar package. To me the early entry was worth paying for because we were able to get three barstool seats, with a slight back in the inside area of the rooftop bar. I definitely didn't want to stand all night. Their outside seating areas were really nice with incredible views and heaters, but it was so cold that night our party wanted to stay inside. Even with the heaters going it was cold. They had enough bar tenders, so the lines for drinks was not bad. The food was buffet style, and they kept it stocked all night. I enjoyed the create your own tacos and the shrimp salad. Towards the end of the night they brought out mini churros and caramel sauce. Those were amazing. There was enough people there for a great party, but I was glad that It wasn't too crowded. It was nice that they limited the number of tickets they sold. They had a photographer, and the pictures were free which was great!! We got three strips since there was three of us, and they sent a digital version to my email. Close to midnight we went outside to see the fireworks that were shot off near Bicentennial park. You couldn't see a full view, but you could see enough between the skyscrapers. They also offered tequila shots at midnight.

    COA rooftop located in Canopy hotel in the gulch area. Weekend very busy. Reservation highly recommended to get a table. Checking in at the hosts was pretty fast. Nice patio seating. Feels more like a Miami vibes. House music if you're into house music. A bit loud to carry a conversation. Weekend fire swing entertainment once every 40mins. The place has a set menu cocktails and drinks. Had the rooted in fire drink. Mezcal is the smoked taste tequila. The food menu shareable but the tacos are street tacos size. Food is delicious.

    Ok so this restaurant is very beautiful. But to say it's a Tulum vibe and I've been to Tulum several times. They definitely missed the mark on that. It gives me more of a Miami vibe bc I go to Miami alot this is how most of the restaurants in go to look like. The vibe here is upscale and very spacious. Loved that they had the fire girl dancer for entertainment. Love the views of the rooftop. But the drinks was definitely nothing special nor the food. I got the Tequila prawns and it was ok. If I go back it would definitely be just for the vibe and I would go maybe for drinks but keep it simple. Our service was ok. It was a Saturday nite and busy so service was a little slow but she was attentive when we needed her to be. Just had to be a little patience.

We went in the afternoon so it was pretty quiet still, but the bar tenders were friendly and helpful. And although I'm not a huge tequila fan, I was impressed with my drink.

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."

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.
