Almost hate to post to keep this off the radar but they deserve the recognition. Sat at a tall table in the bar area, immediate seating. Service was quick, great cocktail recommendations and deep dive into the specials of the day. Best choices on the specials menu. If you need a break from downtown and you're just outside the airport, this is a great option. Easy parking and friendly staff all around!! read more

It didn't really do it for me I am afraid. It was just ok in my opinion. My friend says he comes here a lot when he is in town. He spoke very highly of the place. He compared it to Houston's. Take that how you will. Server was nice but not very attentive. She had this tunnel vision thing going on. I needed her two or three times, even raising my hand for her attention, but she just looked away or was looking at the floor. Inside is a bit dated, but serves the place well. Nothing bad, just older looking and kind of drab. We had beers for appetizers. My buddy had the seared Ahi Tuna dish. He complained it was overcooked. I agree it was cooked more than it should have been. Colorful though.... I had the Steak Frites. Man.... That was disappointing. I feel duped. Normally this dish is like a nice hangar steak with fresh cut fries and a fresh chimichuri sauce. What I got were overcooked steak nuggets, with cold, frozen out of a bag fries, and a glob of C sauce out of a bucket it seemed. I'll likely be drug back here by my friend. He likes it. I'll be nice and smile. *Note they charge you an extra 2% to cover the lack of appropriate wages in the kitchen. '26 - 83 read more

This place was recommended by our hotel clerk as it was nearby and had numerous menu choices according to him. He was right! The restaurant is well decorated and clean. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and led to our table. Our server showed up almost immediately for our drink orders which she returned with promptly. The menu has something for everyone and is challenging when you go in hungry as it all looks and sounds good. We had the calamari appetizer which was very good along with a tenderloin meatloaf special that had amazing flavor and texture. I'm not normally a meatloaf person, but this sounded interesting and met all expectations. We found room for dessert and it was outstanding as well. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an enjoyable and reasonably priced for the quality/ quantity meal. Overall, for the two of us our bill was $130 for 2 drinks each, an appetizer, a salad, a split meal and a dessert. Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed!@ read more

I wish I could remember my servers name but he was attentive. Easy to talk to. Helpful with suggestions. The lamb chops were amazing. Tender and packed with flavor. Plenty of seating areas from two separate dining rooms to a bar area. Everything on the menu was reasonably priced. So I would recommend this place if you are looking for a fancy evening out but don't want to pay downtown Nashville prices. read more

Everytime I come to Darfons to eat I am beyond pleased. I always get a helpful and attentive server. The food is phenomenal. Today I had a prime rib and lobster ravioli which was a lunch special, but please don't sleep on the New Zealand lamb chops. 10/10 read more

I have gone to Darfons several times over the years. Always good. I hosted a group of 11 people recently. When I asked the server if she put the tip on the bill she said yes. I glanced at the bill and it looked correct with 20% tip. I thought she did a great job so I added an addtional $20. What I did not notice was an additional 2% kitchen appreciation. If I would have been informed of that add on, I would have not added any additional. I should have been told upfront. I won't be back. read more

Went for HH. The servers/bartenders were socially pleasant and remained in tune with all customers. Portion was very filling. Taste was satisfactory. The Skinny Margarita was perfect. I plan to go back to try out some of the fan faves. read more

Great service, nice people and a delicious burger. It was actually burger night and I had the Gangster Burger done special for the evening with a fried egg, Gruyere cheese, crispy prosciutto, sautéed onions, and a bunch of other things. It was really good! The atmosphere was quiet and dark wonderful. Clean and classy, I saw the servers recognizing regulars. I'd go back read more

Always great! Bar service is top-notch. Lots of friendly people surrounding bar. Good recommendation about wine purchase from McKenzie. The old fashioned ($8 on happy hour) is great as well. Started with their delicious Caesar salad ($7 for a small) with homemade dressing. Enjoyed the rare ahi tuna entree ($26) with asparagus and sweet potato for dinner. So delicious! Never had a meal here that wasn't scrumptious! read more

Totally forgot to check in this last time but the review is here! We came here for my sister's birthday brunch celebration. We were there at the reservation time and all our party guests were on site. They took us almost right away. Our server was very nice and attentive but it got a little crowded and he got a little foto it overall everything was good. Food was delicious and within a reasonable time out and everyone enjoyed their time. They have their own parking and I do recommend making a reservation as they do get busy. I love the new decor (I had been there before but it was a while back) and the food choices. They have a bar area but it got pretty crowded quickly it seemed. Definitely come check them out! read more

A great place to dine that is close to BNA airport. The food was great and the place was packed but luckily we came in right after 5:30 pm. The menu items are reasonably priced and foods are tasty. Definitely a great place to dine if you stay around Nashville airport area. read more

The food, the service, the ambiance...ALL were amazing! We were in town for a hockey tournament and heading to the airport. Had a little extra time and wanted a nice dinner and not airport food. The ambience was casual but upscale. The service was remarkable! Our waitress recommended this seared salmon and she could not have been more spot on! I loved the salmon, kale salad, sweet potato, with strawberry barbecue sauce so much I recreated it at home two days later! It was a hit at my dinner party! The pasta and hamburger were also very good but the salmon still a show! If we lived here we would definitely find this to be a regular spot for us! read more

Kevin was absolutely amazing! He was so kind to my son and so attentive! The salmon was amazing! Thank you!

We were in search of a nice dinner that had great steak at a more affordable price than the Gaylord had to offer which is where we were staying. We made reservations at Darfons and were so glad we did. It was bustling! We were seated in the garage room which I had read in other reviews that it could be chilly and not as nice as the main room but it seemed fine to us. Our server Kevin P. was excellent - he was friendly, attentive and had great recommendations. My husband got the ribeye which was cooked perfectly to medium rare. I got the Gorgonzola crusted pork tenderloin which was very flavorful. It also came with a heaping serving of fresh green beans and tasty mashed potatoes--an excellent price for all the food. The night was topped off with the bread pudding. I forgot to take a picture of it because we made it disappear so quickly! Highly recommend! read more

We were in town for business and looking for Prime rib for one of our party and stumbled on Darfons. I can definitively say, we made the right call. 6 of us went, 4 got Prime Rib, 1 got the Ahi Tuna and I got the Filet Medallions, Oscar and WOW....The food was amazing. The vibe is a casual steak house feel, not too loud but a great crowd. Our Server, Michelle was absolutely amazing. She made excellent recommendations and was very attentive to our table, no glass ever went empty. We are going to be back in town next week and we will eat here again on Thursday ;-). read more

Darfons looked promising but I'll say I was disappointed with what I ordered. I started with the Tuna Tartare which looked beautiful, but it was a puree of tuna. I swear they put it in a pastry piping back and squirted it onto the avocado base. It was hard to enjoy as it was very toothpaste-like. Brusha, Brusha, Brusha! The Gnocchi with Crab Cakes was both good and bad. The "Maryland" Style Crab Cakes were made with shreds of crab, and no hint of a lump to be found. The chef must love just butchering proteins beyond recognition as again, the consistency was smooth with no structure. Totally NOT worth the price at all... for shame for calling this Maryland Style. The Gnocchi portion was amazing though... the lobster cream sauce was so good and it was filled with mushrooms and other bits of goodness. This is the only reason it's 3 starts instead of 2 though. Service was so-so... I waited a good 10 minutes for someone to visit my table in the bar area to even give me a menu. Then it was slow after that. I think it was just my waitress as I saw other tables get a lot more attention... Just my luck, I got the flake. If you're staying at a hotel nearby, this may be the reason to give it a try, but honestly, I don't think I'd go back. I'd probably do the Chinese Buffet or Fox's Pizza Den next door... I didn't know those still existed! read more

Visiting from CT and my friends brought me to this local gem in their neighborhood. Very welcoming elevated scratch kitchen style dining experience. Here they have a Barbecue-Spice Seared Salmon dish that is dry-rub barbecue spiced, served on smashed sweet potato with kale and a strawberry barbecue sauce (not pictured) but it was absolutely spectacular! Our server recommended we try it. Darfons wowed us with this butterscotch bread pudding. Nostalgic, delicious, well done, & well loved! read more

Great food, great bartenders and close to the airport motels. My dinner stop every time I'm flying out of BNA.

The food was great and the service was excellent. When you have a group of 9 you usually expect delays and problems, but we had none!

Jeff bartender Great personality! Phenomenal bartender knew how to pour wine correctly!!! The Caesar salad was different, it had a hint of anchovy flavoring which was surprising delicious!! I had the black angus ribeye medium rare with chimichurri and creamy mashed potato absolutely delicious. The steak was soft juicy with so much savory flavor. They introduced a new Sauvignon blanc from Chile called Aylin. Yes I know I had white wine with red meat but OMG it's hot and muggy here in Nashville. This AZ girl needed something refreshing andaaaaan did that hit the spot!!! I will definitely be coming back with some friends. Thanks Jeff for making my first impression of Nashville a Deeeelicious one read more

The crab cakes were good, had great flavor and little to no binder. Avoid the steak medallions, I saw a previous review stating not to get them and I should have listened. They were extremely tough and hard to chew. Some were burnt on the outside, but still raw on the inside. Overall not good, I also had the asparagus with it and those lacked flavor or any type of seasoning. read more

Use to love them and go all the time. Currently 0/10 wasn't even acknowledged or greeted. do not recommend very rude. Racist vibes.

Had the Oscar filet medallions medium rare and they were done perfectly. Steak was tender and the accompanying mashed potatoes were good as well as the asparagus. Great plate! Key-Lime Pie for desert was also very good. Service was prompt and attentive. Ambience was good for a business meal. read more

A wonderful variety of food options. Food came out promptly and the staff is wonderful. Impressed with the presentation as well.
