Came here while in Nashville for a conference after a local recommended it to us. Definitely your classic upscale steakhouse experience, but done really well. We got the wagyu filet mignon, oysters, potato gratin, and mushrooms, and everything was solid and super filling. It's definitely a splurge, but worth it if you're looking for a nice date night spot, celebration dinner, or business dinner while in town. Service was absolutely amazing - the best server with the best recommendations. read more

Amazing Valentine's Day experience at Kayne Prime. The staff went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met and our day was special. I especially want to thank our waiter, Victor. He took the time to give thoughtful recommendations and consistently checked in on us throughout the night. Victor also made sure everything was spaced out well, so we never felt rushed giving us time to actually enjoy our appetizers. The food was amazing and cooked perfectly and while Kayne Prime is known for their steaks, my wife ordered the salmon and couldn't have been happier with it. Overall, it was an incredible experience, and my wife and I will definitely be back! read more

Went with a group of 8 for dinner on a Tuesday night. We started with the lobster popcorn, tuna crispy rice and the bacon. I tried the tuna and bacon and liked both. I had the filet mignon for my dinner with the truffle béarnaise sauce. The steak was great. We got a handful of sides for the table. I went with the potato gratin and enjoyed it. My only negative to the restaurant was the service felt slow. It took a while before we're were asked about drinks. Then we prompted them when we wanted to order the appetizers. So overall a very good meal, I just want a slightly more attentive wait staff. It could have been the vibes of the table though that kept the waiter thinking we were not ready yet. The feee valet was a big plus. Best of all I wasn't paying for the meal so I truly was able to just enjoy it with it looking at the prices which are steak level prices. read more

Stellar! Perfect for celebrating our anniversary. Have an incredible choice of oysters. We always get the popcorn lobster- huge chunks of lobster and fun to eat the popcorn. Iceberg wedge is perfect. Potato gratin is amazing. Spinach has a fried egg they stir in at the table. Steaks and fish are cook perfectly. The popovers are incredible!!! We dined for over 2 hrs, it just flew by and such a pleasant evening. Can't wait to go back! Matthew was our server and he is a superstar! read more

This was an absolutely amazing experience. My fiancé took me here. He reserved it ahead of time and I highly recommend getting a reservation since they stay fairly busy. The service was amazing and our server, Eric, was outstanding. He had the best recommendations and was very authentic. We started with the popcorn lobster appetizer, I had a Cesar salad after this, and my main course was the 6oz Wagyu filet steak with bone marrow butter, a side of cream corn Brulé and a side of potato aligot. Everything tasted phenomenal and made the experience so amazing. Eric brought us out an anniversary cake (celebrating 2 years engaged) with champagne and it was just the perfect dessert. It tasted so light and fluffy which was good considering how full we were. read more

Had a birthday dinner at Kayne Prime last night. It had been many many years since I have been here and everything was fantastic! I forgot how large the restaraunt is on the inside. The decor and environment was dark and intimate. I really appreciated it how it wasn't super loud compared to other steakhouses around. Not pictured is the Caesar salad which was INCREDIBLE. The homemade Caesar dressing and Worcestershire sauce drizzle was special. The 10oz American Wagyu filet was great, slightly undercooked for medium rare for me but not worth sending back to the kitchen. Taste was great. I could've used a little more salt and pepper seasoning personally, but I am a heavy season person. The potato's aligot was an absolute dream for cheese lovers. I don't think I have ever seen a cheese pull from anything like what these mashed potatoes had. We loved them. The crème bruleed cream corn was astounding. I am a sucker for this dish from basically anywhere since it's essentially desert. The hint of Jalapeño inside it added a great distinction from normal corn flavor as well. Creamed spinach was great, I don't really have much else to say about it. Very good. The sides were the standout for me. Staff was incredible, made every effort to make it feel special for your birthday. Will definitely be going back. read more

This place has always been a Nashville staple so I am glad I got to visit ! I like how dark the restaurant is which gives it a classy and cozy viMy friend and I sat at the bar and had an attentive server named Kellie! The food was delicious and so were the cocktails. Kellie made us this cucumber drink that is not on the menu anymore, but they still make it if requested. It was nice and refreshing. I really enjoyed the oysters and the small spritz of soy on the salmon dish which was done in front of us when delivered. read more

The first I went to Kayne Prime was back when it first opened as M Street Entertainment's shiny and new steakhouse. As a steak lover, I enjoyed my visit but also as a food blogger, I had to dedicate my time trying all these new whack-a-mole steakhouses that were sprouting left and right in Nashville. Many steakhouses have come and gone but Kayne has been a local staple for almost 1.5 decades. Fast forward to the present, I had the opportunity to revisit Kayne Prime and it was even better than I remembered. Was it because it was new? Did the menu change for the better? Did they work out all their kinks? I am sure it was all the above. To start off, my party ordered a handful of appetizers. The Housemade Bacon, the Popcorn Butter Lobster, and Tuna Tartare. The star of the lineup was the Housemade Bacon. Smooth, rich, meaty pork with subtle sweetness and slightly salty, this was the perfect balance. Bacon itself is very salty, but this was not overly salty at all. In general, I am a big pork belly fan and I'm going to try and recreate this at home. Second place goes to the Popcorn Butter Lobster. Who doesn't love lobster drowning in butter? Topped with probably the best salt/butter balance of popcorn I've ever tasted. My only problem is that these portions were super tiny. Lastly, the tuna tartare was just ok. I wouldn't order it again. It was exactly what it was, Tuna Tartare on a bed of toasted rice with thinly sliced serrano peppers on top. Again, it was good, but not my favorite. For the same price, I would have gotten the Housemade Bacon again. For the main course, I ordered the 24-ounce bone-in ribeye, cooked medium rare, with a side of bone marrow butter. For my side I ordered the Beech & Buttons (mushrooms). I did get to sample the Cream Corn Brulee and the Potato Aligot. The steak was cooked a beautiful medium rare. A very beautiful sear covered both sides of the steak. I did sample the steak prior to using the Bone Marrow Butter and it was seasoned perfectly. I could have eaten it as is, but I topped it with the Bone Marrow Butter. A rich, decadent, garlick-y, umami butter just enhanced my steak even more. Had I not been at such a nice establishment, I would have gnawed on the bone right at the table. The Beech & Buttons were perfectly cooked mushrooms, not super dry but not undercooked. Chewy, salted morsels of delicious mushrooms went well with the steak. The Cream Corn Brulee was delicious, but it was a bit too sweet. The caramelized sugar was sugary and cinnamon-y, but combined with an already sweet, creamed corn, it was a bit over the top. The Potato Aligot was mediocre. It's not that it wasn't good, but I would have tried something else for that price point. I mean you can only do so much (in my opinion) with mashed potatoes. When it comes to mashed potatoes, just give me butter and salt and I'll be fine. Overall, my experience at Kayne was just as good as I remembered... Everything was fantastic, the ambience was great, but the service was a little slow. I mentioned this to a friend of mine after dinner and he said Kayne has always been slow. But this is a special occasion restaurant to me, not an everyday restaurant. I'll definitely return. read more

Kayne Prime - Bone-In Ribeye w/ Mushrooms - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We had a nice experience celebrating a birthday here. With reservations, we were originally seated in an uncomfortable high top near the back of the restaurant. When we requested a different table, they accommodated us and moved us to a booth. Food wise, everything was very good. The corn crème brûlée was by far the best thing we ordered--I'd highly recommend it! We split a strip steak and a ribeye, and while both were good, one was way too peppery for my liking. The popovers and passionfruit cheesecake were outstanding! Service was slightly slow but fantastic! read more

This place has been here forever and i feel like i have tried almost all the steakhouse in Nashville yet i finally got to try Kayne! Man what a treat. From when you first walked in you see the warm welcome from the staff and the place itself is so beautiful and elegant. And loved that they had complimentary valet. We got seated at the booth in the back room and it was nice. Good music in the background. A very nice intimate setting. I got the sweet harmony as my cocktail and it was nice and refreshing. Perfect balance of fruitiness and sweetness. Then we also go the popcorn buttered lobster as an appetizer and it was good. And we also got some complimentary little apps to try as well. It was tuna on some pastry puff and that was good! But for my main course I got the pork tomahawk and it was good. I'm usually not a fan of grilled pork but this was tasty. Plus I got to bring back the bone for my dog. And my friend got the Australian ribeye and he said it was really good. For our sides we got the potato aligot and creamed spinach. We didn't make room for dessert but was given this cute little box of chocolate as well. Overall my experience here was amazing! read more

Amazing Food!! Everything we tried was five star worthy. From the truffle fries to the popcorn, lobster appetizer, it just kept getting better and better. We had a wonderful time, picking out wine with the help of your very knowledgeable wine staff. They were able to pick out some pairings that were incredible. Our server was great, we had a very large group and I appreciated his attentiveness. It was a little slow. I didn't get my wine until after my dinner arrived and then it took a very long time to bring our bill. read more

Kayne Prime - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We had a large group reservation with family style portion foods. The entrees were the only thing individual. I ordered the Wagyu filet and it was the most underwhelming steak I've ever had. It was so underwhelming that I cooked my own steak the next day from Kroger and it was way better. The service was awesome, they had drinks flowing the whole time. They went above and beyond for us. The popovers came out first and were amazing!!! The duck tostadas were alright but the best appetizer was the tuna tartare. We also had the cotton candy bacon which I loved but most people thought it was too fatty (it was more of a pork belly than bacon). The sides were mid. We tried the risotto tots, asparagus, and mac and cheese. All were okay. Dessert was my least favorite course. None of them were good. The matcha lemon tart and cookies were not good. read more

Party of 6 for my 70 birthday party - Nashville Kayne Prime - 6:00pm Food - Appetizers were fantastic - Bacon and Tuna Dishes We split the Wedge salads - they were excellent. Three Australian Ribeye - All ordered medium. one came perfect, two were medium rare to rare - ok but wished it had they were better cooked. Drinks and wine were perfect. Service - Waiters were excellent - great attention and service Myself and one of my quest did witness a worker finishing in the bathroom and departed without washing his hands - Concerning. Overall - the restaurant needs an update - looks tired and out dated. My bench seat had a big hole in the seat cushion. My expectations are high and will be hesitant to dine again at this location. Got to step up the overall atmosphere. read more

Totally overrated. Don't waste your time / money. Steak was on par with Applebees. When compared to Bourbon Steak or Cut there is simply no comparison. Not only was it not good, it was served lukewarm. I'll never go back. read more

I came here for dinner on a Saturday night. The ambiance has a sophisticated intimate setting which I admired.We had reservations at 7:30pm and we were seated at 8pm. Upon seating The waiter mentioned to us that it would be a good idea to order our entrees with the appetizers. Looking back it made sense as to why our appetizers and entrees were all cold however everything was spot on with flavor. We brought this up to the waiter for feedback so they can improve this for the next guests to walk in. We ordered the Popcorn Lobster, cheese platter, Cesar salad, and filet Mingon steaks. read more

Came here for engagement dinner while in town. It's rare I give a high end steak place a 5 star review but this place gets one. I got the Australian wagyu ribeye and it was a slam dunk. Peppery crust with just enough pepper but not too much. The bacon appetizer with cotton candy on top was unique and tasty. The service was great and they were able to tell me what I could and couldn't have allergen wise and a dessert on the house. It's expensive but worth it. read more

Kayne Prime lives up to the hype in so many ways--it's a standout on the Nashville dining scene and absolutely brushes up against Michelin-level quality. The food? Incredible. Every dish that hit the table felt thoughtful, well-executed, and full of flavor. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the sides weren't just fillers--they were legit stars on their own. Service was attentive, professional, and warm--never overbearing, which I appreciated. The ambiance strikes a great balance between upscale and comfortable. If I'm being picky (and hoping they reach that next level), there are a few small details that could elevate the overall experience--things like dusting the chairs or touching up a few surfaces that felt a bit overlooked in an otherwise beautiful space. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, just one of those polish points that could take it from great to exceptional. Highly recommend for a special night out. Kayne Prime is so close to Michelin-worthy it's just a few tweaks away. read more

My lady and I visited Kayne Prime in Nashville for dinner during a three-day trip celebrating my 39th birthday. It was the first restaurant on our list, and unfortunately, it ended up being the least impressive -- especially given it was also the most expensive meal of the weekend. We were seated in the back at a high-top table that felt pretty unspecial and away from the main energy of the restaurant. These tables are definitely not as formal or celebratory as the booths and should really be noted when making a reservation -- especially for a special occasion. Most of the booths were occupied by larger groups, which makes me think the restaurant is probably better suited for parties of four to eight rather than couples. The service was okay, but there were noticeable lulls throughout the evening -- including an hour-long gap between our appetizers and entrées. For just two people, that felt like too much downtime. On the positive side, the appetizers were the highlight. The popcorn lobster shooter was excellent. On the other hand, the Brussels sprouts were a big miss -- basically boiled with no char, seasoning, or flavor. I was expecting something roasted or caramelized with a bit of balsamic or spice, but they were just flat. The manager did stop by our table during dinner, which I appreciated, and later followed up by email -- a nice touch. But overall, the meal didn't live up to the $400 price tag. The food and service were fine, just not exceptional, and not at the level you'd expect from a place with that reputation and price point. Every other restaurant we tried in Nashville that weekend was better and far less expensive. I'm glad we experienced Kayne Prime once, but I wouldn't go back. read more

Service and ambience is very good but they try to be too creative with the food. Don't get me wrong, I like when chefs combine flavors you wouldn't think of and it brings out the flavor of the dish but here, it's just odd. For example, I was so excited about the popcorn lobster bites but I wasn't expecting actual popcorn on top and cold liquid with some lobster underneath. It was served on a spoon like you would use for Chinese soup and it was just awkward to eat. The popcorn overwhelmed the true star of the dish, the lobster, and the warmth of the dish (or lack of warmth) was confusing. We also had the bacon appetizer which was mostly fat and not a good consistency. I could not eat the peppers as they had onion but the others at the table said they were delicious. As for my steak, it was good but I usually expect great. I will say the chocolate chip cookie was yummy at the end. For the price, I will probably choose other places for steak that don't try to overdo the dishes. read more

Service was excellent but food was average at best. My wife's steak was not close to the correct temp and mine did come med rare but was cool (Sent both back). Also, side was underwhelming. I can't understand how a "high-end" steak restaurant serves cool food on a cold plate. Steak need to arrive on a very hot plate to keep the temp while eating. Steak had little flavor and nothing special for those prices. Overall, completely disappointed and please skip. Only highlights were the old fashioned and great service. I now know why the place was nearly empty at 7:30pm. read more

We come here about once every other month or so. Always great service and amazing food. You guys rock! :)

Everything was really good. The ambience was welcoming very good. Sound management. It's a little warm, but it was over 100 outside. White staff was great as far as making recommendations and would never have tried lobster and popcorn appetizer without that but our waiter was 100% correct. We had the beef tartare, the lobster, popcorn, the bacon maple, and two of of the Wagyu steaks. Also had paper planes and a lovely bottle of red. read more

This is a great steakhouse if you're looking for a fancy date, client meeting, or celebration. Definitely try it if you have the budget! read more

Unbelievable! Highly recommend dining here when in Nashville! I would go again in a heartbeat. It has a chic Vibe inside and each room is a little different. Start out in the bar area and enjoy the mixologist before you sit for dinner. Reservations are highly recommended. The popover where to die for! The filet mignon steaks were cooked to perfection. For sides I recommend the creamed corn which had a crispy sugar top and the air gratin potatoes. The potatoes had a thick layer of cheese on top so make sure your a cheese lover. We were served a white chocolate coated cheesecake for my husband's birthday that came with a warm chocolate syrup that they pour on top at the table. The service all around was terrific. The server had good recommendations for us. Omg! Hurry and go here! read more

Sounds a bit dramatic but I left thinking this was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life..... This is your spot for the best steakhouse in Nashville. They bring a rustic style to classy steakhouse that is very welcoming. I was a bit nervous to try this place but so glad we made it out. Everything from top to bottom is done with such detail and finesse. Every dish is top notch. What stole the show was the crème brûlée surprisingly. I am not even a huge dessert guy but this was something that blew my mind. The lobster popcorn dish seemed weird and tacky to me but we were amazed how well it worked and wish we got more. Steak was phenomenal, better than Jeff Rubys, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You can't get much better than what Kayne has to offer. read more
