    [July 2025] The Library Restaurant & Lounge is located within the Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown. I wanted to have breakfast before starting my day. I was there early so it wasn't packed. I started off with an iced latte and then ordered the American Breakfast for my meal. The bacon was perfectly smoked and crispy but bendy. The breakfast potatoes were kind of plain, so the ketchup helped.

    I ate at the Library Restaurant and Lounge inside the Sheraton, and the service really stood out. I ordered the burger and fries with barbecue sauce. The burger and fries were solid, The service was just as good as the food. At least three different people came by to check on me, refill my water, and make sure I had everything I needed. They even offered to pack things up when I was getting ready to leave for my flight. The teamwork among the staff was obvious. The ambiance had a nice energy, with music adding to the atmosphere, but it still felt comfortable enough to enjoy a meal without being rushed. Overall it was a great experience, and it felt like everyone was working together to create a welcoming environment.

    Located inside Sheraton Grand Downtown, this restaurant is definitely a place to try. We've eaten here a few times while staying in Sheraton and it never disappointed us. The quality of the food was incredible. They have excellent cocktails. The atmosphere is so relaxed. The staff were so professional and friendly. It's definitely worth visiting.

    Beautiful interior

    This high end lobby bar and restaurant is in the Sheraton Hotel in Nashville. The library bartenders make very good cocktails such as their custom whiskey sour. We loved it. The pub style food was very good and service was very friendly. Wings and burgers were delicious. They had good salads too. The breakfast service was also very good here. We absolutely loved this place. If you stay at the hotel, try this bar and restaurant out.

    Breakfast in a bar! Kinda cool. I'd say it's a standard American hotel breakfast. My coffee was lukewarm and my entire order came out in like 5 minutes. Toast wasn't quite toasted. Grits were good and potatoes were crispy.

    The food is amazing here and the white asparagus was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant!

    The restaurant is amazing! The food is delicious especially the white asparagus! The chef was super nice and came over to personalise our meals! I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

    Chose the hotel restaurant because it was convenient and we were planning to check out early this morning. They open at 6:30 am. While the menu is limited, it is well-thought out and a great place to start your morning. We ordered the Crack of Dawn and Avocado Toast. Beautifully plated, that put me in a good mood already! The dishes were just right and tasted great! I expected the prices to be more but it was not bad. I've seen avocado toast for anywhere between $8-$25 so this came in between. The decor is beautiful. I wish we hadn't waited to check it out until the last day!

    What a great place to take pictures and vibes. They have limited vegetarian options, but the hostess was great at recommendations and accommodations. I got the pesto flatbread without the chicken and it was really good! My friend got the giving tree and it was amazing! I got the great expectations and it was sweet and fruity. The hostess recommended the mushroom pasta - so i might get that the next time. Unfortunately I didn't get it this time.

    Nick and I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful breakfast at the Library Restaurant. The strawberry cheesecake French toast was amazing!! Try it! The portion was large, too. The crack of dawn was also good especially the potatoes. We had plenty of delicious food. The restaurant was very convenient since it's in the hotel, but we were not disappointed!

    Nice he'd to start

    Stopped in for a solo dinner (biz trip and I am staying in the Sheraton Grand). Ordered a "hef" to start. My favorite kind of beer. Then followed up with the Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders and Truffled Fries. The Nashville "hot" chicken was flavorful especially the pickles but not that hot (had to add Tabasco) to kick it up. The truffled fries were seasoned well and came with ketchup and mayo served on the side for dipping. Really wanted to like he mayo but there is just something comforting about fries and ketchup. So not a bad dinner for one. Decided that still had room for dessert so ordered a Bonut (Biscuit Donut hybrid) with a cup of coffee. I he Bonut is best described as a deep fried biscuit disguised as a donut hole. Served with berry preserves it is very tasty but heavy. The serving size is theee but I would have been satiated with just one. Eating the other two was just decadent indulgence. Flying in from the west coast it's not really dinner time for me but needed a nice meal with coffee so that I wouldn't fall asleep Still have some work to do. Sitting at the bar and the service was great! Atmosphere is typical hotel but with a Music City feel. Overall a four out of five star experience. They lose a star on the Nashville "tasty but not hot" chicken sliders.

    Charcuterie board (so satisfying!), truffle fries (yum!)  and deviled eggs (so good!).

    I had a great experience here thanks to the hotel's Club Lounge being closed during my hotel stay. The ambiance is very welcoming and with an old school library vibe. I tried a variety of their menu items and most of it was great. I don't recommend the biscuits & gravy or avocado toast. Staff are welcoming and make great recommendations. Great place to dine and or just chill out after work.

    Cold crab Benedict, Coffee and OJ
    Tanzy W.

    So. Staycation at the Westin was great. Coffee and refills were great. Crab Benedict looked amazing but was stone cold and served on an English muffin straight from the fridge. They were very nice and brought a toasted one to the table but really just inedible at that point (30 min). When they flip the little screen around, I'd hold off on tipping for service until you know what the service and quality are going to be.

Instead, staff consulted a manager and simply told me they would not be serving me. Meanwhile, the other members of my group, all around the same age and carrying valid IDs, were able to order drinks without issue. As an Asian customer, I left this establishment believing I was racially profiled. I was singled out, denied service despite presenting valid identification, and never given a legitimate explanation for why my ID was supposedly unacceptable. Since the incident, I have found multiple reviews from other customers of color describing experiences that raised similar concerns about profiling and disparate treatment. The entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and unacceptable. There are plenty of businesses in Nashville that can verify IDs without treating customers this way.

This time, we switched things up and hit it for lunch instead. Good call. We grabbed seats at the bar, where Todd was holding down the fort. The guy was outstanding. Drinks never sat empty, food came out smoothly, and he somehow managed to be attentive without hovering over us every five minutes asking if everything was okay. My wife started with the Nashville Margue, which goes down way too easy for something packing moonshine. Light, refreshing, and carrying enough kick to remind you you're in Tennessee. Then Todd introduced us to a Bloody Mary made with a new pickle-infused vodka. Now, that sounds like one of those ideas that should either be amazing or a complete disaster. Turns out it's amazing. My wife loved it so much she's already talking about coming back tomorrow for another one. For food, we started with the pretzels and beer cheese. Simple. Warm. Soft. Salty. Exactly what you want while settling into a Nashville afternoon. Nothing fancy, just done right. Then I went all in on the mac and cheese topped with Nashville hot chicken. Yee Haw. Creamy mac and cheese. Crispy chicken. That signature Nashville heat. Comfort food with a little attitude. Just the way it should be. The best thing about The Stillery is that it knows exactly what it is. Good food. Good drinks. Good people. No gimmicks. No trying too hard. Just a fun place to sit down, relax, and enjoy yourself. Fifteen trips to Nashville (together) and it's still one of our first stops. That's probably the strongest review I can give. Five stars.

The spot is in an old building in the middle of the entertainment district (Lower Broad area). It has a small outside seating area, for when it is not a sauna, Inside there is a nice sized bar, if you are just seeking a drink. They are known for their mac & cheese, which I have never tried in all of the times I have been to the Stillery. Very creamy, cheesy mac & cheese. The Nashville hot chicken has a nice spice to it. A bit mild for the serious hot chicken fans, but the flavor is there. The chicken tenders are fairly standard. And the crinkle fries are mid. I enjoyed both of the drinks. At $14.50, they are at least $1.50 less than the standard Broadway cocktails in the star bars, so iti s a less expensive option to get a drink. I don't think they ever have live music, unlike some others here, so you are going for the food, not the noise. Service was great, as always. The staff is always prompt and knows their menu. It is more bar food and the menu is limited, but what they do, they do well.

Judging by the well stocked bar and the word of our waitress, other alcohol and their associated craft creations are available, but it's pretty much off menu and not well into our waitress' repertoire. And yes, Cinco de Mayo was just a few days away. One member of our party just wanted a soft drink, which was not possible that night as their CO2 was down. That did make me wonder whether the non-alcohol drinkers had much to chose from here. I suppose we could have then wandered over to the Redemption Bar at Chief's? Anyway, we're not Tequila Drinkers, and since other drink options appeared to be guesswork, we left towards more traditional mixed drinks (and live music) at a nearby Printers Alley bar.
