The burrata, grilled steak flatbread, Lobster Arancini, and lobster ravioli were all very good and worth the money. However, the bison burger was not that great, and neither were the california flatbread or the fig and prosciutto flatbread. So it was very 50/50 on whether or not the food was good/worth it which is not great when things are on the expensive side. They also seemed to be out of a lot of food/sides which made it harder as well. The service was a little slow & we were the only table but I'm not sure if that had to do with the owner firing one of the chefs right after we ordered.

We stayed at the Hilton hotel for 4 nights and on a Wednesday night, we decided to come eat here…read moresince it's located inside the hotel. The actual restaurant seating area was closed but you could sit at the bar or at any nice couch/lounge section! Our server (I think her name is Whitley?) , was super sweet and was super informative on the best items on the menu! We ordered a Caesar salad for me and shrimp & grits for the hubs. Appetizers, we got meatballs and wings. We also got a chocolate lava cake with cookies and cream ice cream as a dessert. 10/10 across the board! The wings are definitely a must - it's super light / airy crunch with great flavor. Their sauces are definitely homemade. The shrimp and grits... wow! Super buttery and creamy with amazing shrimp and gravy sauce. Must ask if they have dessert because the lava cake was SO decadent and warm. Will definitely be staying at the Hilton hotel and coming to this restaurant every time we come to Nashville! If you are diamond status for Hilton, you should definitely stop by because they do offer specials for diamond status members - free things! :)

The bathrooms were also super pretty and clean. The location - at the mall - has pros and cons. Green Hills mall is great & has many nice stores. It is always packed and parking can be a pain, especially over by RH. If you are willing to walk & deal with traffic / crowds then I would just park in the Dillards garage and save yourself the stress. The thing that's truly shocking about the restaurant is the price of the food for the quality. The food is decent, just HIGHLY overpriced. I got a burger and fries with water and with tip it was about $50, this also may have been the cheapest thing on the menu. That's the main reason I wouldn't come back, just so many more great options in Nashville at the price point. Ok, our waiter was great tho. He was attentive, fast and positive. We were celebrating birthdays and he surprised us with dessert. A very nice touch that really added to the experience.

We split the bottle of prosecco which was half off its normal price. The service was great. They were even kind enough to bring out an ice bucket, so the wine stayed cool on the patio.

We will definitely be back for their happy hour soon!

I've been to the postino in Dallas, the food is just as amazing at this location in Nashville…read more Reminds me of the Oak Lawn area in Dallas. The food was amazing and service was just okay. The goat cheese and meatballs were phenomenal as usual, and the bruschetta board is always fun to get when you have someone with you to share it. Our waitress didn't give us the impression she wanted to service us. As someone who works in the service industry myself, this was quite disappointing. But the food and drinks were still served in a timely manner. I won't hold this against the entire establishment since this wasn't my experience at my hometown location. The area is walkable and fun. Very young and gives a hipster vibe.

The oysters came with a delicious mignonette, although I would've loved some Tabasco on the side! They did bring out horseradish, though, which definitely gave the oysters an extra kick. We also shared the crispy onion rings, served with ketchup and garlic aioli, the crispy artichokes with garlic aioli, and the Kofte burger. The artichokes were delicious, and the onion rings were good too, although there was a little too much batter for my liking--I still ate the whole thing! Service was attentive and friendly, and everything came out nicely. Overall, would say 4.75 stars, we really enjoyed our meal and the fun atmosphere. Everything was delicious, and I'd definitely come back again!

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. We had a great time sitting on the patio, which was…read morenice because it allowed us to avoid the loud interior. 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.

Answer has been on my list for happy hour! $6 drinks and snacks! They have a great happy hour with…read moresolid food and drink options. HEADS-UP the happy hour menu is bar-top only, so plan accordingly if you're going specifically for those deals. Limited seating available. Happy Hour & Spice Level I had the happy hour cocktail it was bourbon, lemon and honey. The food was flavorful overall, but I do wish the menu clearly noted which items are spicy. Most of the happy hour dishes seemed to have some kind of chili oil or heat element. That may be great for people who enjoy spice, but it would be helpful to know ahead of time, especially if you're sensitive to heat. For dessert, we always come back for the chocolate panna cotta with graham cracker crumble and burnt marshmallow, which was a nice sweet finish. This one is a must! To put this into next level I recommend adding the pretzel bites instead of graham cracker and a few salted flakes. We also tried the almond butter cornbread with blackberry, but I would avoid it. It was pretty dry and didn't have enough balance. The manager? Said it was a new item they were trying. I think it would be much better with ice cream or a salted caramel sauce to add moisture and richness. It was dry even when I mentioned it they didn't comp it we only had a bite and immediately decided it wasn't worth it. Final Thoughts Overall, Answer is a nice spot with a great happy hour, but clearer spice notes on the menu and a few tweaks to the dessert options would make the experience better. If you are seating by the bar it gets loud I wish the bartender doesn't just throw the drinks/plates so aggressively that it clanks. Also this place gets loud definitely not a lot for sound to absorb.

Great spot on 12th Ave. This spot gets all the high marks:…read moreService: Kellie was great. Food: We caught the end of breakfast service at lunch time and out egg dishes per perfect. Ambiance: This place has a great vibe from the decor to the music. After, we walked a loop up 12th Ave and back for some shopping.

We stopped in for Sunday brunch! There is attached garage parking but the validation wasn't working…read moreso had to eat the cost of parking unfortunately. Our sever was new but he had great energy and was very enthusiastic. One of my friends has a gluten allergy & is sensitive to egg/heavy dishes so he was diligent in checking on ingredients and substitutions for her. That said, they did not have a lot of options for her. I get it, weird dietary needs, but the kitchen's lack of substitution flexibility for allergies was surprising. It was a really nice day out so we had marked in our reservation that we wanted patio seating with a view. We were seated at a standard height half-booth table that did not have a view over the railing so it was kind of a waste. The booth material was also cracked/peeling along the seam so it was pinching my thighs (I was wearing a dress) and was uncomfortable. The food was just okay. It's definitely on the pricier side for brunch in Nashville, albeit probably in line for 12S. My partner's French toast was little burnt. The best thing was the truffle parm fries, but mainly because of the dipping sauce. I had the Beverly Club but it wasn't anything special and a little pricy for what it is. I'd be interested to see how their dinner service compares.

Sunlit room right on the street allows you to catch all the movement outside, but it stays quiet enough to close a deal or catch up on ten years. We both ordered a salad. The Etch (arugula, radicchio, fennel, green apples, bleu cheese, hazelnuts, candied orange peel, champagne vinaigrette) and the Mediterranean (arugula, fennel, bacon, capers, tomatoes, chickpeas, manchego cheese, red bell essence, sunflower seed hummus, caper vinaigrette). Both were generous and very good! And Athena, our server, was the difference. Thorough, quick, warm, on top of everything without hovering. Thank you, Athena! You made the whole thing better.

The mashed potatoes with the filet were like butter, so good.

Late lunch near Green Hills Mall. We tried True Food Kitchen. Parking was a bit interesting, but…read morethe restaurant is very open, clean and inviting. Tried the Guac as a starter and it was very good. They added pickled jalapeño and vinegar tomatoes on the side. It truly complemented the flavor. My wife ate it, and she is not a huge Guac fan; so that says a lot for the Guac. Early evening Entrees were chicken parm and I had buffalo chicken sandwiches with fries. House made pickles on the sandwich were ok. Apple slaw was a good compliment to the buffalo chicken. Looks like they used the same breaded chicken that they use on the chicken parm for the buffalo chicken sandwich. Fries were good. Some very very hard and overcooked. Chicken parm was cooked well and the pasta was cooked well. One of my biggest pet peeves when out to dinner anywhere is keeping the drinks filled. No matter what it is, soda, tea, etc. That does not happen here. That would be my only negative take from this place. Other than that, we would definitely suggest checking out this place for lunch/brunch or dinner. They do have live music at night as well if that is your cup of tea. Pricing is a bit higher than some, so be aware that you may pay a little more to eat here, but the food is fresh and the menu is health conscious.

I've been dining at this location since it opened many years ago, and I think that fact matters…read more This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. The food was fresh, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was reliable. It felt like a place that took pride in what it did. Over the years, I've watched that standard steadily decline. The facility itself shows signs of neglect. The dining room and patio no longer reflect the quality image the brand promotes. Service has become inconsistent, staff turnover appears high, menu knowledge is often lacking, and food quality varies significantly from visit to visit. The most disappointing change has been the food. Dishes that were once simple and ingredient focused now feel altered, reduced, or unnecessarily substituted. The restaurant's original identity was built on fresh, recognizable ingredients. That identity feels increasingly difficult to find. What concerns me most is that none of these issues appear new. They feel systemic and long standing. That suggests either leadership is unaware of the problems or has chosen to accept them. I'm not angry. I'm disappointed. As a longtime customer, I've reached the point where I no longer recommend this location and rarely choose to visit it. In a market with more dining options than ever, that's not a decision I make lightly. If someone from management or corporate reads this, understand that this review is not coming from a customer who had one bad experience. It's coming from someone who remembers how good this restaurant once was and can clearly see how far it has fallen. Whether that matters is up to you.
