Fantastic dining experience from start to finish. No wait for our table. Ambiance is dark and cozy, perfect for a special night out. Keke is a gem! She was so enthusiastic about the menu and such a delight to interact with. Also she was totally on her game. We didn't want for anything. The food was excellent: the gumbo was stellar and my NY strip was so tender I didn't even need a steak knife. The cook was also perfection. My sautéed spinach was garlicky and green. Even their bread was great! My husband raved over the au poivre filet and mash. We both left groaning. They definitely give generous portions, we couldn't finish a single dish, so in the future perhaps we'd share. But if you have a way to store it, you'll likely have leftovers! Tl;dr: give this place a try if you want a good steakhouse with personalized service in Nashville! Just as good as the Atlanta location! read more

We had such a great high school graduation celebration here. Our waitress, Jesse, was the best of the best. Truly the best service I've had ever in life. She knew what we wanted before we even asked. She was great with helping us with my father with dementia. Brought us everything we needed with speed. She is hilariousss. I will definitely be requesting her for service when we come back. Our food came out quick and hot! Steaks were made perfectly and were a great quality. Couple flakes of salt really did the trick. Same for the Sea bass. Very good quality piece of fish. Couple flakes of salt helped as well. The lobster bisque, bread, mussels, lobster tail, and brussels sprouts were very good. The macaroni wasn't what I expected. That was the only thing I wouldn't get again. I'm not sure if they made a cheese roux, but it had a lightly gritty texture. The cheese flavor had kind of a flour like taste undertone. Hard to explain. I loved the man playing music. The whole mood of the restaurant was great. We'll definitely be back read more

Excellent food. Excellent drinks. Excellent ambiance. Every bit as excellent as Hal's Atlanta mothership. read more

After a long day of traveling and flight delays, we were seriously craving a good steak, and Hal's ended up being the perfect choice! It was conveniently located within walking distance of our hotel, which made the decision even easier. From the moment we sat down, the experience was wonderful. Our server was an absolute delight (Houston), so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We both ordered the filet mignon au poivre with a side of truffle mac and cheese, and everything was incredible. The steak was cooked perfectly, rich and flavorful, and the mac and cheese was indulgent and delicious. Even though there was a bit of a wait, the staff was so apologetic and accommodating that we truly didn't mind at all. We happily passed the time enjoying fresh bread, sipping on Moscow mules, and listening to live music, which added such a fun and lively atmosphere to the evening. Overall, this was an amazing first dinner in Nashville for me and such a memorable experience. I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

Dalene was AMAZING! What a server!! I came here with a girlfriend for her birthday, we had some Aperol spritzes, and we split a wedge salad and a veal dish. It was very tasty. Perfect amount of food and the veal was thinly sliced. Dalene was knowledgeable, suggested items we would like, and she overheard me say it was my friend's birthday, and brought out a birthday dessert for her, which was so thoughtful and a great touch. Next time I'm in Nashville, I will absolutely request her!! Thanks for a great time and great live music! read more

The food was excellent. The Lobster Le Beaux was worth ordering twice. Condiments were not needed to complement the food. Everything was flavorful. We did expect larger portions of the sides (mashed potatoes & creamy spinach), which were $14 each. Live pianist was a nice touch to the setting. Traditional aesthetics with pops of light created a classic steakhouse atmosphere. Service started quietly but became attentive as the evening progressed. read more

Great atmosphere, good food and good live entertainment. It was a little loud, but we were in the back by the kitchen. We walked in without a reservation and were kindly seated immediately. They have great drinks, but not much in the way of non alcoholic beverages. My water glass was kept filled, so no complaints here. Our server was great, friendly and knowledgeable. We went the day after Valentines day so there were out of two things I would have lived to have ordered. But they made up for it with the beautiful roses on the table. Hubby had the duck l'orange and it was 10/10. Loved it. I ordered the veal picata. It was good but a little too salty. We had the creme brulee, and it was one of the better ones I've had in a while. The texture was perfect. We felt a little silly going to a steakhouse and not having steak, so we will definitely be back. The vibe is old school steakhouse and the plates coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. It is kinda pricey, so we will have to save up, lol. read more

A spectacular dining event to celebrate a milestone birthday! We arrived early for our reservation and the friendly host explained they wouldn't be able to seat us till our scheduled time but make yourselves happy at the bar. Enough said! They came to get us right on time and got us seated. Dark paneled walls with chandeliers and smaller dining areas make this a cozy dining space. There is also seating upstairs with private dining rooms. Taylor was amazing and made our dining experience fantastic. He was engaged, made great suggestions and checked on us often. He started with our drink order while we checked out the menu. They brought us the garlic toast and we ordered our meal. Food was 100/10! Steaks were done perfectly to temp. Taylor had suggested a peppercorn sauce which my dining companion tried and loved. The asparagus and mashed potatoes were also delicious. After dinner we were brought out a birthday treat to bring an end to our amazing meal. We've eaten at Hal's in Atlanta and now Nashville and while I love the team at home, Nashville and Taylor have won my heart!! read more

Our first restaurant stop in a city we've never been to. Hal's was walking distance from our hotel in downtown Nashville. This restaurant has been here for less than a year but sure is making waves. Our server, Mike, was literally the best server we could have asked for. His food suggestions from the Lobster L' Beaux to the Shrimp & Crab Remoulade were just amazing! I had the Filet au Poivre with a side of angel hair pasta and my hubby had the Bone-in Filet Mignon with the Truffle Mac & Cheese. We shared the brussel sprout side dish...delish! We had two Old Fashions and I had a beautiful Malbec red to pair with my dish. Just amazing. The ambiance was great with live music and a dark but classy vibe. It was definitely a classy and conservative design perspective. Loved our first dining experience in Nashville. read more

Enjoyed an evening here for a business dinner meeting in their private room. Seating was good for the 14 of us and the waitress was wonderful too. She did a great job with overview of offering as well as seeing that our glasses were refilled and everything arrived timely. The food was good. The only complaint is that they don't offer complimentary parking, but do offer discounted fee for valet at the hotel. At the price point parking should be complimentary. read more

Hal's "The Steakhouse" is a classic steakhouse experience. The tablecloths are snow-white, we had a live musician, and the waiters are very professional. The prices are mid-range for a steakhouse (still quite extortionate). The steak was good quality, but the sides were a bit underwhelming. Here's what we tried: -Filet Mignon Au Poivre: 9/10 - I got mine cooked Pittsburgh style and rare, while my boyfriend got medium rare. Both were cooked perfectly to our desires. The steak had a lovely flavor, and was a good portion. The cognac sauce was also to die for. Couldn't get enough. -Brabant Potatoes with Garlic Butter: 7/10 - They were good, nothing special. I honestly couldn't taste the garlic butter at all, but the crispness of the outside with the soft potatoey inside was nice. -Sauteed Spinach: 6/10 - Run of the mill. Garlicky, nothing special. -Brussel Sprouts: 8.5/10 - Loved these Brussels!! They were clearly deep fried which gave them the utmost crispness with a super rich flavor. I didn't love the addition of the onion/bacon bits, though. -Truffle Mac: 6.5/10 - It was okay. The flavor was good at first but soon the truffle became sickening (and I LOVE truffle). The sauce was also a bit grainy. read more

I visited Hal's for a special event, so I didn't have a traditional sit-down meal, but I did get to sample a wide variety of menu items... and wow. First off, the espresso martini. This is a proper espresso martini with real, quality coffee behind it. Highly recommend. As for the food, the steak was everything you want from a steakhouse (no surprise there), the lamb was absolutely incredible, and the lobster was another standout. If the event bites are any indication of the full menu, Hal's is doing things right. I can't wait to come back for a full dinner. read more

We had a really large team dinner here and our private event had a preset dinner menu with solid options. The room was just our group and we were sat at multiple tables with 6 per table - it was perfect. The space was dimly lit and the service was on point. They had quite a few folks taking care of us and I felt they did a great job with such a big group. There were no delays on drink orders, and each course came out spaced perfectly. The food was pretty good - I wasn't blown away by the majority of the dishes, although I will say the potatoes were *chefs kiss* and my steak was cooked perfectly. We had really big portions compared to what I expected, which was a nice surprise. I'd definitely come back again for a nice date night with hubby! read more

Truly extraordinary service. Unlike so many restaurants post-COVID, this place was very well staffed. In addition to our attentive and witty waiter, there were probably 4 other staff clearing plates, pouring water, refreshing our fresh baked garlic bread basket, etc. We ordered a lot of dishes-including a second serving of the shrimp with remoulade and cocktail sauce-so good!! They came out in very timely fashion and with flourish. The chef made me a special dairy-free version of the Chilean sea bass, which was just luscious. The combination of flavors and textures produced by the melt-in your-mouth fish, light, crispy topping, and silky spinach all in one bite was truly memorable. The dark paneled wood interior and white linen tablecloths made for an elegant dining experience, & our waiter simultaneously matched our Midwestern vibe--keeping things fun and unpretentious for us, which we appreciated. Enjoyed being able to hear live music earlier than a lot of other restaurants offer live music. Friendly from first greeting-exceptionally well managed. Welcoming of people with food allergies and disabilities. Highly recommended! read more

I stopped in for a solo dinner tonight and had a wonderful dining experience thanks to William. He was very attentive and explained the menu and gave great recommendations. I ordered the 22oz bone in ribeye and a small side of creamed spinach. I was very impressed with the ribeye. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and I was able to cut through it like butter. The quality of the steak was fantastic. The creamed spinach was also delicious and not too salty! read more

Top notch service! Front start to finish. Even went the extra mile to hold my leftovers while we did a show so we didn't have to take them to the car. Even allowed us to extend our valet. The food was phenomenal. And you will love the compliment garlic bread. Nice location, great valet spot. Dim light and even had a pianist. Craig was our waiter and he was AMAZING as well! read more

Excellent old school steakhouse located in the same hotel complex with Marriott AC hotel and next to the Joseph Hotel (best hotel in Nashville!). Live music/piano player as you walk in the bar area. Staff is amazing starting with the hostess/bartenders and food runners. Excellent wine selection by the glass/bottle. Bartenders were very accommodating to allow tasting of 2 of the Cabernets offered by the glass. Food menu is excellent lots of offerings Beef/Seafood/Poultry/Veal and Pasta. House garlic bread to start was tasty. Followed by House Chopped Salad with House Vinaigrette. Star of the meal was the Filet Medallions pictured below! Cooked perfectly med-rare and blackened. Did not expect 3 nice sized filets so much food for 1 had to get a to go bag (since staying at the Joseph the leftover was given to the doorman who was beyond thrilled). Did not try dessert but can only imagine it's excellent. If traveling solo and staying at nearby hotel definitely worth end of work week dinner and sitting in the bar area. Also noted the high top tables in the bar area are 1st come/1st serve. Highly recommend this restaurant when in Nashville and will return based on Excellent Service, Quality of Food and Wine and Atmosphere. read more

Hal’s The Steakhouse - Filet Medallions with Onion Rings - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

came here a little while ago to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a good time. several people ordered drinks that they seemed to enjoy, but I went with the sparkling water. the server was very quick to refill our waters which was nice, but unfortunately, throughout the meal, he confused those of us who had sparkling with those who had flat water. As a result, I ended up getting refills of flat water instead of sparkling (resulting in what tasted like flat sparkling water) while others had the reverse experience. After the 2nd time of this happened, I asked our server to get a me a new glass so that I could get the true sparkling water that we order and he was obliged. As for food, for our appetizers/sides we got the Mussels in White Wine Sauce, Oysters, Broccoli, Mashed Potatoes, and Brussels Sprouts and for my own meal, I ordered the Caesar Salad and Bone-In Filet. My favorite appetizer/sides were the Brussel Sprouts by far! These were some of the best I've had in a long time as they were super well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The others were good, but nothing extraordinary. I also thought the Caesar Salad was really fresh and delicious. Now for the steak, I ordered it to be made medium rare because I knew if it was a tad overcooked, it would still be medium which I enjoy. Unfortunately, though, the steak came out medium well. I let our server know and he had me cut it to show what the middle looked like and he agreed that it looked medium well (minimal pink). He double checked his notes and saw he had indeed written it down as medium rare and that what I received was not correct. He took it back to the kitchen and worked to get me a new one. In the meantime, the manager came by and gave me some gumbo to snack on while I waited for my steak. I appreciated the swiftness in making me a new steak, but it also meant that I didn't get to enjoy my food with everyone at the table as my steak arrived as everyone else was finishing theirs. Nevertheless, when I got the second steak it was appropriately cooked and was incredible - super juicy, tender and flavorful. I really enjoyed it! Additional note - while I waited for my steak I also tasted my friend's steak, she got the Hal's Ribeye, which I thought was moderately better than mine (other's agreed this was the best steak at the table), but my was excellent too! my other friends, on the other hand, all got the various versions of the filet mignon and they did not enjoy theirs very much and wished they had gotten other steaks. Overall, somewhat of a mixed experience here, but the staff's quick work to rectify the order and the truly incredible Hal's Ribeye, Bone-In Filet, and Brussel Sprouts are the reasons I gave it 4 stars! read more

We reserved a private room here for a birthday celebration (which has a minimum) Before hand we called if they could move us to a different room to accommodate us for losing a few number of guests from our party. Over the phone, they said they would be able to make the change, but when we arrived, they said they wouldn't be able to move us. We told them of the situation, but from then on it just seemed like they didn't care to show us any sort of hospitality. Staff were rude (minus a few). We'd ask questions and had one of the waitresses walk away without even acknowledging or answering the question about an item on the menu. We waited for almost an hour before we were finally able to get our first orders in. We also ordered a few of their champagne bottles to find out they weren't stored properly, showed up flat with no carbonation. We explained this to them and they were able to replace it with another bottle with no issues. We eventually ordered more bottles and had the same problem with the next couple of bottles. At that point, it was all downhill from there with the staff. They became very unprofessional towards our party. If we're paying "premium" prices for the bottles, we would expect to have premium bottles with proper storing and flavor. Probably one of the worst experiences that we've had at any restaurant. Would be 1 star but I will give them 2 stars because of their kitchen! Food was actually one of the best experiences for me. The food was cooked to perfection along with the presentations of the dishes. I had the sea-bass and my wife had the ribeye (no pic unfortunately) along with a side of spaghetti. So big shout out to their staff working the kitchen! Hopefully this doesn't deter anyone else from tryin this place if they're ever in Nashville but I do hope that no one has to experience the service that we did. read more

I would go to Hal's every week if I was in Nashville every week. Outstanding from entering to exiting- hosts, service entertainment drinks and bartenders. The wait staff is professional and treats you like you matter. They anticipate your needs and just really do a fine job. Professional service exists in very few places in Nashville but Hal's gets it down. Now about the food - you see the pictures- I do t need to say anything else. 12/10. Get to Hal's! read more

Best seafood, in an elegant fine dining, in Nashville in a subtlety lit steakhouse atmosphere with live piano music. From the fresh oysters, through the Mussels in White Wine sauce, and to the entrees everything was perfectly done. The Trout with Colossal Crab meat was perfectly breaded, and warmly delicious. The Chilean Seabass likewise was perfectly done, light, flaking apart with a fork. Dessert was huge, the creamiest New Yoir cheesecake. Service is excellent. The is a full bar, upstairs and down, with an extensive wine list. read more

As someone who has eaten her way through Nashville, Hal's is in a league of its own. We have visited a few times, and the service, food, and ambiance is second to none. The interior is reminiscent of an old-time steakhouse and paired with the live piano brings New York vibes. There is an extensive wine list, but no cocktail menu. However, they make the classic and should you be in the mood to experiment the bartenders are happy to create something for you to meet whatever flavors you are looking for. The service is amazing and some of the best you can find in Nashville. These are by far the best steaks we have had in the city. So flavorful, buttery soft, cooked to perfection--you can tell they take pride in their work. Both the lobster appetizer and the carpaccio are a must! The lobster is generous and comes in the most amazing lemony butter sauce and the carpaccio melts in your mouth. The "Oscar" with three 4 oz filets and bernaise sauce is also on the list of our favorites! This place is worth the visit. read more

Came with a group of 12 for a 40th bday dinner. Love the ambiance of the restaurant, yes it was a tad dark but not in a bad way. Taylor was our waiter who had us all giggling by providing great service, jokes and interaction with our group. He had some great recommendations so take them if he offers! Lobster Le'Beaux is a MUST! We got that for the table to share and I was slightly jealous I didn't get my own. My husband and I got a steak (med rare and it was perfect), lobster Mac and cheese, bacon Brussel sprouts (ughhh'mazing) and a blackened shrimp Caesar salad. There was definitely enough food for the two of us to share. PS... get the French 75' your wife will thank me later ;) read more

Hal's has one of the best steaks I have ever ate. I requested medium rare is and came out slightly more rare, but still delicious.
