    I've been wanting to try this place for ages, but it always seemed packed. Well, today (Memorial Day) was no different. I tried to swing by around ten minutes to noon, but it was a disaster. There were heaps of people waiting outside, and it didn't look promising. I went to the hostess stand and asked the guy if I could get a table for one, and he said, "Oh, you can sit at the bar; it's open seating. There's one open seat right there!" So, I walked through and was approached by another worker who asked me what I was doing. I told her the guy said I could sit at the bar, and there was an open seat, even though I never saw one. I did see open seats outside at the bar, though. The bar has two sides, one outside and one inside. It seemed alright; it wasn't too hot or humid, so I went. There were dirty dishes all over the place, and I sat down. Another worker asked me, "Are these dishes yours?" Which seemed a bit strange because the guy works the bar and wouldn't he have known the person sitting there before me left them? Anyway, I said no, and he cleared them. I then waited about 5 minutes before another worker skillfully wiped the bar of debris and then got three menus and three sets of silverware (two more guys sat down next to me) and asked me if I wanted water. I said, "Yes, please." She went off, and then shortly after, I saw the same guy come with a menu and a set of silverware and a water. Thumbs up for the water but thumb down for the slowness. I saw the menu and was torn between pancakes and biscuits. I didn't really want anything heavy, so I got the biscuits and gravy but added an egg. I also got a coffee. The wait time for the food was super quick, and the food was really good. The biscuits are small, and they're okay. The egg was good, but it's kinda hard to mess up an egg. I saw the food the people sitting next to me got, and it looked amazing! Pancakes, etc. Overall, the service was pretty bad, but the food was good. I saw no sense of urgency in the workers when they were obviously swamped. I might come when it's not so busy next time. Side note, maybe I'm showing my age, but the price of regular drip coffee was a bit steep. ($4).

    Shrimp and grits
    Daniel B.

    This place was awesome overall. It was pretty crowded, but they moved fast and kept things flowing. If you like attentive service with waitresses checking on you often, I'd recommend sitting at a table instead of the bar since the bartenders stay pretty busy. Even with that, we still had a good experience. There was a little mix-up with our food a few people who ordered after us got their meals first, and the table next to us accidentally received our order, so we ended up waiting a bit longer. It was definitely frustrating at the moment, but once our food came out, it made up for it. We had the shrimp and grits along with the steak, eggs, and hashbrowns, and everything was delicious. The sweet cream cold brew was really good, and even though the orange juice was a little small, it still tasted fresh. The atmosphere was nice, and I also liked that they had outdoor seating. Overall, despite the small hiccup, I'd still come back and recommend this spot.

    Breakfast biscuit sandwich was delicious. Melts in your mouth. Service was fast and friendly. Place looked very clean. Wish the music was not so loud in the morning.

    Really enjoyed sweet milk! I never figured out what sweet milk is but I had a lovely breakfast. The service was a bit confusing but they were super nice and the food arrived quickly.

    Eggs, Bacon, hashbrown & grits
    ILona B.

    Visiting the area and didn't want the sub par free hotel breakfast. Glad we ventured out as this was probably the best meal we had while in Nashville. We dined early on a Saturday so it wasn't busy yet. Service was wonderful. Staff told us of their favorites and didn't steer us wrong. You must get the grits! They were delicious! Love how bright the inside is. I will visit again when I am in Nashville next.

    Southern Breakfast Bowl
    Lauren L.

    My friend has been trying to get me to check out his favorite brunch spot for ages, and I finally made it. Now it's our shared favorite! I can't say enough good things about Sweetmilk. We stopped in on a Sunday morning, and were greeted with big smiles and quick service. I had the Southern Breakfast Bowl... fried chicken, hot honey, pickled onions, and pimiento cheese grits. I dream about it. Great atmosphere, food, and service. You have to try this place out!!

    Country Fried Steak Biscuit

    Our service was amazing and the food was incredible! Highly recommend trying what we got. Beautiful place, beautiful people!

    Excellent brunch spot! Food, service and ambiance are all excellent. An extra bonus is the free parking and not being downtown. This was my second visit. Great space to meet up for brunch and close to airport if you want to grab a bite before your flight. Dining solo or with a group, there is a space for you.

    Laura A.

    Absolutely great service in our order to go! Americano coffee and garage biscuits with side order of biscuits! Gave us extra jam! So so good! Highly recommend!

    Blueberry pancake
    Larry B.

    Met friends for brunch and enjoyed the experience. Had a short wait, less than ten minutes, and we were seated. Our server was great and very attentive. The food is great so some things run out toward closing, so be a little flexible. There is a large, bright, and surprisingly quiet dining room with roll-up doors for the outdoor feel on mild days.

    Steak and eggs
    Maria C.

    Sweetmilk was a solid 10 out of 10. The space felt open and inviting, the service was on point, and the food came out in about six minutes. The coffee was smooth and delicious. My steak and eggs were cooked perfectly, and my partner's shrimp and grits were amazing. I'm a big grits fan, and these were honestly some of the best I've ever had. So good. Lily was great with her services

    Breakfast casserole
    Amanda C.

    I stopped by SweetMilk in Donelson for breakfast and was so impressed! I ordered the breakfast casserole, and it was so good -- warm, flavorful, and perfectly comforting. The service was super quick too, which made the experience even better. The staff were friendly and everything came out fresh and fast. Definitely a great spot for a cozy breakfast in Donelson -- I'll be coming back! I was also pleasantly surprised there wasn't a super long wait on a Saturday morning, but it was definitely getting more crowded as we were leaving!

In the spirit of getting out and making an effort to explore my new city I decided to find a place to go and enjoy a solo date night and grab a fancy drink. You know the vibes a Carrie Bradshaw moment but make it Nashville style. I found this place via instagram and read all the great reviews and decided to get out and try it. A cozy place tucked and hidden in the heart of east Nashville. It is somewhat hidden with a small parking area but I was fortunate enough to get parking right in front. I walked in and the decor is pops of red and black mixed with gold. The light is dim so it's a perfect date night spot or place to meet and have an intimate small group gathering. It wasn't busy and I enjoyed that there wasn't too many people. The vibes are relaxed and I was greeted right away. Checking out the menu I decided on a spicy margarita concoction with tajin. The bartender brought it out and it was the perfect blend of flavor, spice and alcohol. It was refreshing and sweet/spicy. Perfect. This place is the perfect solo date night spot or date spot with your special someone or catch up sessions with friends. I enjoyed sitting, sipping and writing this review. Solo dates can be daunting and being in a new city can be daunting as well but finding hidden gems like this make it worth while. There's a quote that I love and that's "if you never go you'll never know." Don't let this be a place youll never know... head to your date with this place. Head to Amsterdamian.

I wish we had gotten his name but we were so impressed with the little gem we were sitting in we didn't make much small talk other than drink recommendations. They also have a few mocktails and snacks available. We were headed to dinner for our next stop so we didn't try anything but we definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some good cocktails in the area!

Outside is another variety of seating, more great views, and a chance to catch the breeze. Nice selection of local draft beer. Friendly bartenders happy to make whatever cocktail you'd like, and a list of specialties to choose from. They're a little limited in the liquor selection, but glad to run downstairs to the lobby bar, if they have something needed for your drink. Shared the pimento cheese appetizer. Really good pimento cheese, and the special crackers it was served with were excellent. Wife enjoyed a salad with shrimp. I did the fried shrimp hoagie. The shrimp were perfectly fried, the flavors spot on. Just have to ding them a little for the sandwich being completely structurally unsound. Most of the shrimp had already fallen out of the bread when it was served, and it was impossible to get the shrimp back on the sandwich long enough to get it to your mouth. Still enjoyed it, would just have preferred a true sandwich to something that required a fork and knife. Still highly recommend if you want a casual meal, a pleasant time, and a great view. We'll certainly be back.
