    Redfish and shrimp
    Trish M.

    We had such a wonderful experience at Stoney River Steakhouse! After a completely botched reservation at another restaurant, we decided to drop in here on a busy Saturday night. Even though sitting at the bar wasn't our first choice, we were grateful to be seated immediately--with zero wait! The service was fantastic from start to finish. Nick and I began by sharing the house salad with vinaigrette, and it was easily enough for two. I ordered the Bistro Chicken entrée, which came with two perfectly cooked pieces of chicken, lots of steamed broccoli, and whipped potatoes. Everything was incredible--and I especially appreciated the capers! Nick ordered the redfish and shrimp special, served with rice and green beans, and he absolutely loved it. We both had generous portions and couldn't even finish everything. It was a delightful, unexpected meal, and we're already talking about going back. Highly recommend!

    The ambiance is so nice. The food was amazing. The hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Her smile was welcoming as well.

    Deviled eggs with candied bacon. Delicious!

    Dinner close to downtown Nashville. Stoney River is a great place! Food was amazing. This place is a little pricy, but the portion sizes are worth it. If you like appetizers get the smoked deviled eggs. They are delicious! I also must say the service was impeccable. Our waitress was friendly and on top of drinks and leaning the table. She was very good! All the food delivered to expectations! We had eaten at Stoney River before, just not at this location. We loved the lighting and the feel of the restaurant. Good end to the Holiday weekend! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Stoney River is a dependable chain steak house that i love to stop in from time to time. I enjoy sitting at their comfortable bar during happy hour (M - F 5-7 pm). This is the one place I'll order steak out because it's typically prepared well and at the temp of my choice. Great place if you're craving steak or looking for another happy hour spot. There's free parking in the lot & on the street. Love: steak salad (deviled eggs, candy bacon, herb vinaigrette add ranch - thank me later!), bread (addicting - bet you can't eat just one) Like: service (fine enough)

    I want to be super clear. I actually give the benefit to restaurants, because I can appreciate how hard they are to staff, and the exploding food costs. In addition to that, I was with customers, so I expensed this particular meal. Meaning, I don't take it personally about "value or price". Also, even with subpar/okay service, I still tipped 20%. That said, this place missed the mark across the board. Customers ordered New York Strips and Ribeyes. None of our meals, were delivered to the right person. Meaning, we all had to swap plates across the table. It was just odd/not very polished at this price point, The three of their steaks were cooked okay, but seemed to be pretty fatty cuts of meat. Then to my prime rib. I've never had, or seen a fattier cut of meat. I'm not exaggerating when I say 75-85% fat. In addition, once meals arrived, customer asked for wine list. Then selected a glass of wine with dinner. Wine never showed up. Here is where it gets interesting. There was so much fat on the plate, it looked like I barely ate. (How that awful piece made it out of the kitchen, blows my mind). Again, I didn't say anything, as I was with customers. The Manager comes by the table, and asks "how was everything". I didn't say anything, but my customer says "look at that guys plate, and how fatty that cut of meat was. Manager says something to the effect of "is there anything I can do" and again, because I have customers there, say "no, you can just take my plate". Which looked like the entire piece of prime rib was still sitting there, but it was all fat. We order some deserts to go and I get the check. The Manager could have stepped up and covered a drink, or a dessert, but instead, saw the train wreck of the Wal Mart/Texas Road House quality prime rib as he took my plate away, and chose to do nothing. Granted, I said I was fine, but he clearly saw the poor quality that came out of the kitchen firsthand, and could have made it right: I'd expect that behavior/lack of customer service at a fast food joint. I entertain my customers on a regular basis, and this price point is on pare with other steak houses in town, that deliver a MUCH better service and food quality experience. Service, would have drastically helped cover some of the feedback in the terrible quality of product served. Big miss from the wait staff, right up to the Manager. Do better

    My husband and I went here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint! Service was fantastic, food was delicious. This is a definite do again!!

    Stoney River has my favorite steak in Nashville! I'm a big fan of steak, so I'm always looking for great places. I absolutely love the Coffee-Cured Filet Mignon. I always get it cooked medium, and it's cooked perfectly each time. Pairing that with the béarnaise sauce tastes amazing to me. We also got their Mac n cheese which is also one of my favorite steakhouse side dishes in Nashville. It's oozing with cheese and so tasty. You can't go wrong with Parmesan truffle fries. Their chocolate cake is also to die for. It is moist, rich, and decadent. Our waitress was also very nice and friendly, and we bonded over our love of the NHL! I will say even if you have a reservation, it seems as though they made you wait just a few minutes before they seat you.

    Coffee Filet Mingont, garlic mashed potatoes and mac n cheese!

    We dined at Stoney River on a Saturday night!! Our servers name was Ethan, and he was amazing. The steak was perfect and definitly worth the money! Even though they were busy Ethan made sure we had everything we needed! The vibe is also very mature and relaxing and it was a perfect fit for our Saturday night.

    Fatty prime rib
    Amy N.

    Went for my husband's birthday. The experience was very disappointing. We made reservations, drove to Nashville and would have had better food at the local Chili's. The service was terrible. I ordered the prime rib and it was 75% fat and underseasoned. The waitress didn't offer a dessert menu. It was a rushed affair, almost rude, couldn't get the ticket to us fast enough and we will be going elsewhere for our next special dinner. Went somewhere else for dessert. Table of five.

    Meghin D.

    Make sure you have reservations, it's highly recommended. We went Sunday at 430, got there early and it was super busy. He service was a little slow but that's not anyone's fault really they were booked and low on staff. So we sat at the bar and got a drink before the table was ready, I got the Southern Peach which was a rye whiskey and peach and it was really good. The fresh bread they bring out is really for dessert (trust me save at least some for dessert because they are SO good and sweet and just so yummy). They are like a fried dough with poppyseed served with like a honey butter. Delicious. Appetizer you really have to get the eggs, the eggs are killer. Sugar cured bacon on the deviled eggs are more of a dry filling so it stays put and it's delicious. I ordered the ribeye 14oz med rare with potatoes au gratin and my mom ordered the special, prime rib med rare with the veg of the day which was roasted brussel sprouts. The steaks were cooked to perfect and absolutely delicious, huge portion sizes! Overall I would be back, hopefully they get more staff but given the holidays and the amount of people coming it was wonderful!!

    The answer is...the answer. Eric R. randomly selected Answer on a list of restaurants we scrolled…read morethrough to make a reservation for on our first night in Nashville this week. It is tucked in a neighborhood in the West End, and most people were surprised we found it or had heard of it as non-locals. It is a very popular spot. We arrived 20 minutes early and snagged the last parking spot in the lot behind the restaurant. Eric R. wanted to sit outside, so we were directed to wait at the bar until a table opened up. I got the cucumber sage yuzu spritz mocktail, and Eric R. got a local amber beer. Our table was ready within 10 or 15 minutes, so we migrated to it for dinner. Our server was helpful in providing recommendations. We started with three shareables: the mussels in lemongrass serrano beer broth and grilled bread, tempura long-stemmed artichokes on Calabrian chile mascarpone, and the lamb lollipops with pearled cous cous. I tasted the lamb, and it was heavenly, like melt-in-your-mouth tender but with a lot of caramelization. That was really Eric R.'s choice so I let him eat the majority of it. I really enjoyed the mussels and the artichokes! Everything was hot and delicious. I was sipping broth with a mussel shell when the bread ran out, and the host came out with more bread for us! It was so good. We asked to see a dessert menu. Eric R. had a tough choice between carrot cake and blondie with caramel ice cream, but was steered toward the blondie and did not regret it. I asked what the house made ice cream was for the day, and it was coconut matcha with a white chocolate shell topping. That sounded so perfect, and it was AMAZING. The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was lovely, the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious! That is the answer!

The hostess greeted us with "if you don't have a reservation, you can have a table for 45 minutes." No where did I see that reservations are required. Luckily 3 spots opened at the bar so we sat there because we were told "you can sit there with no time limit." The bartender serving us made no effort to look anything but annoyed with our presence. We had never been there and had questions but she would just point at the menu. I ordered a Diet Coke, which came in a can, one person with me ordered an old fashioned which was more glass than drink and the other people picked a beer from the list the bartender silently pointed at. This would have been a cool place if at least 1 person working here didn't look like they hated being there. Because of how we had been treated from the start we only ordered 2 appetizers, the dip and the flatbread. The dip was fine but the flatbread was like cat food on burnt toast. Oh and don't bother ordering a tea, I saw them serving bottles of gold peak tea, can't even brew tea. I do not recommend this spot unless you are okay with feeling like a burden and eating subpar food.

As a vegan of 15 years, I can attest that NYC has plenty of options and some of the most innovative offerings, but when an independently owned spot in the South can capture an audience from all over the world, that means something. There is a cult-following for the Kimchi Spring Rolls, Cauliflower Wings, and my beloved Kale Caesar Salad but DO NOT SLEEP on the rotating seasonal menu either. The Dan Dan Noodles, Shroom Meatloaf, Cacio E Pepe, and Loco Mac are... Chef's Kiss! The cocktail menu never disappoints with fun and interesting sips and if you don't imbibe, the mocktails make you forget that they aren't spiked. Delish. The energy and vibes are always on-point here as well. From family-friendly offerings to hosting and supporting inclusive community events, AVO is the spot to unwind and/or for your celebrations. Service is efficient and full of smiles. I can't say it enough, AVO is a wonderful place and the definition of hospitality.
