I've been a Marriott person forever and have stayed in their properties all over the world. The…read moreGaylord Opryland hotel felt like it was going for a las vegas type experience with a country vibe. It's almost like a little town that's under a huge greenhouse. The rooms are expensive, I was there for a conference so was able to take advantage of a group rate. With taxes and resort fee it was still ~$300/night. I had reserved a king room, upon check in I was 'upgraded' to a 2 double bed room with a little balcony that overlooked the interior of the hotel. Not an upgrade in my humble opinion. During my 4 days there I didn't see one person sitting on these little balconies. The hotel and connected convention center is huge and it took a bit of time to get oriented to the set up to easily get around. The room was a typical Marriott room. While packing up to leave I did see a cockroach, so probably best to keep your luggage zipped up.

We went to a fundraising event here recently…read more The event itself was wonderful. Unfortunately, the evening was ruined by the clueless staff of this facility. It was a December evening, that started out fine. The food was OK and about halfway through the evening as the staff begin clearing the tables they opened all the back doors to the venue And left them open for the rest of the evening. The evening was 32°. Needless to say the draft from the open doors quickly filled the room and nobody picked up on the fact that everybody was running for their coats and sat there huddled freezing, trying to enjoy the evening while the event/facility staff walked about with the doors wide open. this is not the first time we've been to an event here, but will always think twice before attending another one.

This is the second event we have attended and while we recognize the iconic restaurant, the Barn is…read morethe most uncomfortable venue I have been in. Cement floor, fold out chairs and absolutely freezing. Not only was it cold, but for some reason the vinyl sides were up about 18" and the back doors were wide open. The evening temp was 34 degrees and everyone at our table eventually got their coats. This was a nice event and everyone was dressed to the nines for it. Hate to say it but if this event is there again, we will probably just mail in a donation and pass on the event.

Now that my ears have stopped ringing I'd like to get down to writing a review of this really great…read morevenue and the pre-Valentine event we attended. This well-preserved historic setting is a "gracious host" for such special events. Yet I must say at the outset that an otherwise beautiful evening of skillfully prepared food paired with exceptionally fine wines was tarnished somewhat by the actual venue itself. The stark, undecorated bare brick walls served to act as reverberating amplifiers of the happy, albeit slightly raucous crowd of 64 diners. For me, the din of diners' conversations, punctuated by squeals and cackles of laughter simply stifled any polite conversation save for that with the dinner guest on my immediate right. (I was at the end of a table so there was no one on my immediate left.) And to converse with the normally delightful friend seated across from me, I had to either lean well into the middle of the table or shout, neither option conducive to pleasant communication. The noise was simply, bluntly, brutally unpleasant. But enough of the negative. Awful acoustics aside, dinner was absolutely delightful, de-lovely, delicious. We were invited to sip a bit and mingle a while for an hour before dinner was served. During that time we enjoyed a light, barely effervescent Sofia Sparkling Blanc de Blanc while deftly nibbling on dutifully delicate Honey Lavender Goat Cheese Tartlets topped with Paddlefish Caviar. The caviar added just a hint of flavor and texture to the mini slightly tart tartlets. First Course: Herb Crusted Sea Scallops, fork-tender but slightly over-blackened for my tastes. The accompanying Cauliflower Puree was über creamy and smooth, while the Toasted Pine Nuts, Currants, and Chile Oil provided lovely counterpoints in texture and taste. Noticeably absent was the "Shitake Bacon", but although I searched for it via my palate, it was nowhere to be found on this plate. The accompanying Sofia Chardonnay was (just as the Coppola vintners describe it) delicate, light, only slightly acidic (I personally didn't pick up on this) and a perfect accompaniment. Second Course: Seared Corvina on a bed of lovely, nutty, rust-colored Bhutanese Red Rice. The fish had a crisp sear but, depending on how thick your portion was, the fish came across as cooked too dry to slightly moist. (My dinner guests compared and contrasted their portions of this mild-flavored fish, the moist portions being the better.) Coconut Milk, citrusy-acidic Lime, pungent Ginger, and Cilantro combined to give this dish a nice finish. The paired Director's Cut Savignon Blanc was fine for this course. Third Course: Braised Beef Short Ribs and Morel Mushroom Sauce plus Apple and Fennel Salad proved the least favorite of the night. The beef was wonderfully tender and smoky, but didn't pack the punch the aroma suggested. The Morels - one of my all time favorite fungi - were slightly salty and could have been the main part of this course for my tastes. The crisp fennel and thinly sliced apple salad went well with a rather mysterious Lost Colony Red Blend. Again, this didn't have the body I would suggest for this heavy a course. Fourth Course: Vanilla Mascarpone Cream (yum-yum-yummy) and Almond Granola Tuile (slightly inconsistent because it was more mushy than crisp, perhaps since I was the last person served out of the 64) came with a "meh" Spiced Wine Poached Pear. Least favorite of the courses tonight, this was paired with a rare - usually served only at the winery - Late Harvest Semillion. If you get a chance to attend one of these dinners...grab it! It might not be perfect, but it made for a near perfect Valentine Dinner for us. (Just glad my taste buds aren't connected to my taste buds and thus not adversely affected by the cacophony.)

Beautiful Event Venue!…read more I have a chef crush on the owner Jason McConnell. He has three restaurants in addition to this event house and everything he cooks is fantastically delicious. Tonight the McConnell House hosted Food Truck Fight night. I'm a sucker for gourmet food coming out of a truck. There were several food trucks parked behind the house. The plan was to look at all the truck's menus and then choose carefully. It can be so difficult to choose just one so you may have to try food from several. Each truck has a number that you can text to vote for them. Just in case great food isn't enough for a great time there is also a dj playing party music. The only thing missing was our camping chairs. Since I discovered this event occurs every third Thursday of the month we will return with our chairs next month and plan to stay longer.

Rating this one just for the parking, though I've been to conferences and events in the space…read moreitself which is fine. I just appreciate that the city still has at least 1 downtown adjacent lot they haven't sold out to private companies who gouge the citizens of Nashville and hurt local businesses by forcing customers to pay something like $45 for an hour of parking. While an event, like a Preds game, might spike the price to park here at MCC up to $20, it's typically just $15 to park here for an entire evening or day. You can walk pretty much anywhere in downtown from here if you like. So rather than pay the highway robbery of those other PNC and Metropolis lots (companies who regularly face lawsuits for price gouging and unethical business practices, including a recent Nashville settlement by Metropolis) I always opt for a spot here to walk. Just think, in another world/time/era, this would just be the standard with the city owning lots at reasonable rates and using that money for city improvements rather than private companies charging astronomical fees to line their own pockets.

It's nice that Nashville has more of a touristy attraction to it, but the majority of stuff, places, restaurants, and bars are NOT COUNTRY, they're simply pop to cater to all the silly bridal showers and other parties that come here. That being said, this convention center actually looked great and was laid out nicely with parking close by. It's a decent size, for most medium conferences and conventions.

We did a wedding weekend, so my grandparents, parents, and our entire bridal party were able to stay at the venue the entire weekend which made it really special. The staff at Cherokee Dock were awesome. We were able to call or email whenever we needed something, and Kelly and all of the staff were so knowledgeable about the venue and the wedding industry. They were super kind and flexible and helped with whatever we needed. They are definitely pros in the wedding industry! All my vendors also loved working with the Cherokee Dock staff. It rained on our wedding day, but The Estate at Cherokee Dock has a built-in rain plan that made the day so much less stressful. They also have so many beautiful ceremony spots, a great catering kitchen that all of our caterers loved. The pictures came out amazing, too! There were so many great photo spots like on the swing by the Cumberland River and on the dock! This weekend was the best weekend of my life and I could not recommend having your wedding at The Estate At Cherokee Dock more. Our family and guests have not stopped talking about how amazing this wedding was, many of them told us it the best wedding they have ever been to! Cherokee Dock is an open vendor venue, so we could have the wedding planners and vendors we wanted. This was extremely helpful for picking our bartender as there were no additional fees that had to do with alcohol like most venues. Seriously if you are thinking about having your wedding here, do!! You will absolutely love it!!! (photo creds: @beccaandkidronphoto on Instagram)
