    Smoked salmon plate.
    Jasmine A.

    Even though our hotel offered free breakfast, on our second day in Nashville, we went for breakfast at Kitchen Notes, located in the nearby Omni Hotel. Although pricey, the food was of excellent quality and very tasty, and they offered gluten free options. I was very tempted to have their breakfast buffet as the food looked delicious, but at $36, I decided to pass and instead had the smoked salmon plate (everything bagel, herb cream cheese, tomato, red onion, hard boiled egg , and capers) for $18, a choice I did not regret. My sister had an omelet, which she really enjoyed. (They offer several types of omelets, including a build your own omelet, in which you can choose your own toppings.) Total price for my smoked salmon bagel, my sister's omelet, two coffees, and an orange juice was $63.95 before tip, but at least we really enjoyed our food. If looking for a good breakfast spot and willing to splurge, I recommend Kitchen Notes. [Yelp collections: Nashville, TN 2026]

    Nashville fried chicken, it's what's for breakfast
    Sarah S.

    We stopped here for brunch before embarking on the Country Music Museum & are so glad we did. The brunch was excellent. I also got the Nashville chicken as a side / supplement because I had to try some while in Nashville & it was great. I had a waffle, a poached egg, maple syrup & made a delish creation with the Nashville chicken. Hubs was more traditional enjoying eggs, bacon, pancakes, biscuits, & sausage. Their sausage was a delicious blend with sage and a berry in the mix. Hubs enjoyed his OJ and I thought their coffee was pretty good. They had some nice fruit and cinnamon rolls (as well as cinnamon butter). The deco is lovely and the staff was great, friendly and attentive without being overly so. We would definitely eat here again when back in Nashville.

    Biscuits and gravy

    Decided to go out for breakfast Christmas Day. My group decided on this place, which is inside the Omni hotel. Breakfast was just ok. Nothing special for the holiday. Our waiter, Timothy, was very friendly, professional & attentive even as it started to get busy. The dining area is beautiful & elegant. Parking is valet only though you'll get some discount if you're dining in.

    Biscuits and soup

    This restaurant is inside the Omni hotel and open for breakfast and lunch. Beautiful decor, excellent friendly service and great food. I tried the Fried Chicken sandwich which was just okay, but my partner's food was outstanding

    White Lily Biscuits & Gravy
    Lizbeth E.

    We planned to go to pancake pantry but when we saw the huge line we decided to go to kitchen notes. They had an all you can eat buffet for under $50 per person. A BISCUIT BAR!! Since I eat like a fish I skipped the Amazing looking buffet and ordered biscuits and gravy. They were delicious. However, the coffee machine was broken and I couldn't have a latte which was disappointing. Big plus we didn't have to wait not even a second to be seated. It's located inside a hotel. Very clean and welcoming.

    Eggs Benedict Country Style

    The best breakfast of the trip! The omelet complemented by biscuit and grits were utterly delicious. The consistency and taste of the grits were top notch while the portion, flavors and balance of the omelet and biscuit hit the spot. Highly recommended for an authentic breakfast / brunch spot if in the area.

    Honky-Tonk Omelet

    We came for the breakfast buffet but arrived too late. During the week make sure you arrive well before 10am! Ordered off the regular menu - had avocado toast with a side order of some nashville hot chicken. Hubby ordered the omelet. All the food was really good. The server was very lovely - super friendly and fast. The interior is pretty nice, lots of seating and bright. It's on the expensive side, but that's expected at a hotel restaurant. We will come again sometime to try that buffet.

    Very underwhelming
    Xinyi Z.

    We came here for the breakfast buffet but were greatly disappointed by the experience. At $35, it was NOT worth it. It felt like a low-quality continental breakfast you'd get for free at a Holiday Inn Express. With limited options available, I tried the bacon, scrambled eggs, and biscuits. The bacon was overcooked and unremarkable, the scrambled eggs were lukewarm, and the biscuits were embarrassingly dry and hard to eat. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because our waitress was very nice and attentive. There are better places in Nashville for breakfast or brunch so save your money and calories from this place.

    We came for the brunch buffet & were very happy with our experience! Located inside the Omni hotel to the right of the lobby, we arrived at 11:05 on a Sunday for a 11:15am reservation & were sat immediately. Can't comment too much on parking though since we walked here. Ambiance is nice. The restaurant is very clean with a southern vibe to it. Feels semi upscale yet casual at the same time. Food was solid overall. They pride themselves on being a farm-to-fork restaurant & I feel like $35/person for all you can eat was appropriate for the quality. My favorite were the homemade bacon cheddar biscuits with sausage gravy on top. They also have Belgian waffles and sourdough pancakes made made to order that are included in the buffet. Bonus for using real maple syrup. Waitress was nice and attentive, overall a 5/5 for brunch! They also have a la carte brunch menu if that is a better value for you, but we were hungry!

    Toppings and tea area

    We had a tour we wanted to take and made reservations at Kitchen Notes for breakfast since it was near the meeting point. When you first walk into the Omni Hotel it's overwhelming. Such a massive front lobby and opulence to spare. The signage is decent but honestly we had to look around a little to see Kitchen Notes. The sign in the entrance isn't visible from the lobby area. Once we found Kitchen Notes, we were greeted at the door by an extremely friendly team of people that work in different capacities in the restaurant. We were seated immediately but on the way to the table we were able to drink in the atmosphere some. The tables are beautiful, the seats are amazingly comfortable, and the whole place is extremely clean and super cute. We sat down and out waiter Keith was over almost immediately. Affable and easy going, we were able to order our coffee and waters. We wanted bloody Mary's, but booze isn't served until 10am so we settled on the coffee and water. The coffee was good, not a cheap roast and not burnt tasting like you get in some places. We ordered the Music City Omelette (no pics sorry), Avocado Toast, and I asked for a side of Nashville Hot Chicken. It wasn't on the menu but Keith did me a solid and got it anyways. The food took a little bit to come out, there was a slight snag that we overcame with the help of Katie the wonderful manager of the restaurant and all was well. The Nashville Hot Chicken was good, well seasoned breading (lots of pepper like I like it) and it came out on a pan friend piece of toast which I loved. It was missing the sauce that I love about NHC, but there was a Kitchen Notes hot sauce on the table that sufficed in its stead. The avocado toast was really good, but it's avocado toast so it's hard to mess that up. It came with some greens, two sunny side up eggs, and tomatoes. I enjoyed it more with a little hot sauce because I like spicy food, but it was great on its own. The omelette was tasty with caramelized onions, ham, and other additions. The potatoes that came with it were fried perfectly brown and complimented the flavors of the omelette. The good news is, we took long enough we were able to get the bloodies we wanted and they didn't disappoint at all. With a nice spice to them and a healthy pour, I highly recommend one after 10am. (Weirdo laws trying to make me less of a sinner). All in, the stop at Kitchen Notes was fully worth it. The service was amazing after the snag was cleared up and the food was completely worth it. The food ran between $15 and $20 a plate, so it wasn't horribly priced for a Nashville stop. If you're in the area stop on by.

    Nashville Hot Chicken
    Von D.

    Little skeptical due to it being a hotel restaurant, but it was, by far, the best breakfast we had while in Nashville, and that was including visiting some "famous" places. The Nashville hot chicken was excellent, juicy and perfectly seasoned. The sourdough pancakes were delicious. They serve real maple syrup, which made this Vermont girl's heart happy. Waitress was very nice. Everything we could have asked for.

    Kitchen Notes menu, July, 2023.
    Sherri H.

    Kitchen Notes is a cute breakfast/lunch place located off the lobby of the Omni Hotel, where we were staying. You do have a choice of ordering off the menu or selecting the buffet for $30. I took a stroll along the buffet to see what there was and my goodness, everything looked so fresh and appetizing. The $30 price seemed a little high, but we all decided to order it. We were all so glad we did! There were three different variations of biscuits (strawberry and cream, buttermilk and cheddar herb) and I tried them all. And they were all delicious. Strawberry and cream was my favorite. The eggs, the sausage, the fruit, everything was all so fresh and delicious. I would definitely eat here next time I'm in town, whether I'm staying at the Omni or not.

    Deviled eggs. Delicious!
    Julie B.

    I loved our dishes. The quinoa and kale salad was so good and the slow roasted short rib sandwich was delicious. Also the chef sent us some pretty spectacular deviled eggs. We'll be back!

I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!
