SUMMARY. Very cool spot. Came here over the holidays before a concert at the Ryman. Both drinks and food were on point. Cozy upscale ambience. Definitely recommend. RESERVATION. We walked in around 6pm on a Monday. Not sure if they take reservations, but it's a small place. If you'll be coming during high-traffic hours, a reservation would definitely be worth looking into if they offer them. AMBIENCE. The place is relatively small, but it's very nice. I would describe the ambience as upscale cozy. Chic diner meets high end cocktail bar. We sat at the bar, and it was definitely one of the quieter spots I've been to lately which made for a nice relaxing vibe. It was during the holidays, and the Christmas decor made for an even homier feel. LOCATION. Located downtown on 7th in between Commerce and Broadway at the Holston House. QUALITY. The quality was VERY good. I got an old fashioned that was perfect, and the presentation matched the drink quality. Clear ice cubes are purchased from outside vendors and stamped before being served. For dinner, I ordered the aioli burger, which was phenomenal. SERVICE. Service was perfect. It was not crowded, and the bartender was at the top of his game. He was nice, helpful, knowledgeable, and expeditious. We were very pleased! VALUE. This place is expensive, but that should be expected. Tenn is located downtown in a Hyatt-owned hotel, so I definitely had no expectation of it being cheap. Still, the ambience, service, and food/drink quality were exquisite, so I was happy to pay. Overall, I would say the price was on par with my expectation going in. TAKEAWAYS. AWESOME place for quick bites and great drinks downtown. Highly recommend! Happily, Clayton Cohn read more

The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the food was different but in a good way. I had the jam french toast and it was really, really good. Also tried the cinnamon buttermilk biscuits and i enjoyed them. read more

TENN - a plate of food on a table - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Food is delicious. Small plates but very tasty. Service is excellent. Great place for a breakfast meeting.

Such friendly baristas. I had a lovely honey lavender latte, perfect balance of espresso, honey and floral. Cute homey feel

We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking on a morning walk in Nashville. This place is small and intimate with a pleasant staff. Perfect for breakfast or brunch. This place offers huge, complex flavors and excellent presentation. I'll be dreaming about the flavors here until my return. read more

Upstairs at the bar, the drinks were made by a knowledgeable mixologist with recommendations and explanations if you had any questions. The staff is very kind at both venues and I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Cold coffee and slow service. Waitress brought one creamer at a time to add to the cold coffee. My wife asked for sugar and we got a handful just dropped on the table. We ended up walking out. Go someplace else there are much better places in Nashville read more

We went to the Hocus Pocus pop up here and it was amazing! The three ladies who sang and then came around to visit with each table were spectacular - they stayed in character and spoke with everyone at our table. They completely made our night! That said, the food and the cocktails were also very good - and our server was outstanding. Hoping I'll get to do it again next year! read more

Not sure why this place wasn't busier! Classic breakfast fare done right served with southern hospitality! Pros: All your breakfast staples done right! You have to get the crispy potatoes! Sweet server and fast service! This place is right off the main drag located in the beautiful and historic Holston House. It's a great place for a quiet breakfast! Cons: If you're looking for that Instagram-worthy Nashville spot, this is probably not for you, otherwise, come here! read more

What a disappointment based on reviews. My bucatini was average at best. Not many ingredients & not hot when served. The pork chops were more fat than pork. Not great. The chicken had an inedible flavor. Could not eat. Very limited menu. Great location, good ambiance, fair service. After 3 of the meals were delivered for 4 diners, the waitress said, "Is that all?" I had to say "I need my dinner." Then it was delivered. The espresso brownie was average: nothing special. The restaurant is in the Holsten Hotel. Would not eat there again because there are so many better restaurants in Nashville. read more

We almost missed this little jewel. It is located off of the Holston House lobby, and the signage says Food and Drinks. We thought it was a little fast food diner. I just happened to notice a stand with a small menu for Tenn. Oh my, what a surprise--after reading the Yelp reviews, we went in for a light dinner. Our grandson had the double meat burger that he said was great. My hubby and I shared the oyster sliders and the trout dip with potato chips. I would definitely order both again, but would ask for the sliders to be deconstructed so the aioli didn't soften the crust on the corn-crusted oysters. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and gave us a little local knowledge. I highly recommend Tenn. By the way, my hubby said the his Manhattan was wonderful--he had two! We plan to have Sunday Brunch there in the morning that also gets great reviews. read more

This is great breakfast and brunch spot. Good coffee, service and food that is thoughtful, tasty and so well presented. I love the feel of the hotel too. read more

I love this place! This is my second time coming here and everything has been phenomenal. They have the best brunch in the area.

So glad that they had some decent drip coffee this morning. The chocolate croissant was good too. Staff is super friendly! read more

TENN - 10/09/21 menu - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Service and food were excellent but a bit overpriced for breakfast. Also while I enjoyed the avocado toast (perfectly poached eggs and good sized portion) I didn't like the fact that the toast and avocado weren't hot or even warm. read more

Delicious breakfast with great service. The restaurant is small and trendy. We got seated quickly at a round table for 5. The servers were very personable and attentive. I had the spinach and goat cheese omelet add bacon. It was delicious and served with a side of potatoes. I also had fresh OJ and coffee. Others had the double cheeseburger, brisket hash, waffles, biscuit and gravy. Everyone seemed to love their meals. Definitely would recommend! read more

TENN on Top is Nashville's newest rooftop bar. It's small and intimate which I absolutely adore. It sits at the top of the Holston House hotel. Simply walk in through the front door of the hotel, go straight ahead and the elevator will be to your left. Select any elevator that your heart desires. Select P and head straight up to the penthouse suites. Once the elevator doors open, go towards the pool. This is where you will be greeted with of course the rooftop pool for lounging and bar with your favorite whiskeys and bourbons. While all of the bars on Broadway are packed you will be able to enjoy an amazing view of Nashville's iconic AT&T building aka the "Batman Building." Order a classic drink or something from their cocktail menu. A whiskey mule is refreshing under the warm summer sun. For the best photos opportunities here come between 6-8pm. Valet is $40 but the trick is to park at the library garage which is $2 per hour or $15 for the day I believe. Just cross over Commerce. There are restrooms immediately upon entering the hotel to the left before the elevators and restrooms on the rooftop. Sit back and enjoy a seat on one of the daybeds. read more

This restaurant is located at the Holston House hotel and we were able to try it for dinner on one of our nights at the hotel. My wife ordered the trout and that was paired with a cauliflower purée. The trout was good but the cauliflower purée kinda tasted weird. Not sure if it was old or something but it was very off putting. However, I ordered the shrimp and grits and I thought the overall dish was amazing. The grits had a good texture and the shrimp was cooked well. I really liked how they thinly sliced the andouille sausage and the sauce had great flavor. I would totally recommend the shrimp and grits but that's the only thing that I can recommend. read more

We were in town for the Music City Bowl Game and decided to treat some UK Marching Band members to a dinner. TENN was quite close to their hotel and had some good reviews. The atmosphere was casual yet elegant. The service was excellent (as we had to hold the table for a while waiting on the kids, and then stayed long enough to close the kitchen). The group enjoyed the mini steak biscuits and baked pimento cheese appetizers. (Note, the pimento cheese appetizer is excellent with a great kick provided by the Nashville hot crackers.) The main meals were also great as the group had the bavette steak, the brined pork chop, the burger, and foxtail lettuce salad. All were well executed and delightful. Lots of yummy comments around the table. The students gave the restaurant two thumbs up and said they'd always remember the experience. We agreed. Highly recommended. read more

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Avocado toast is best ever. Oatmeal cookie cappuccino was a great suggestion by Breck. read more

Restaurant itself was ok. It feels a bit like a boutique younger feel. If you walk in from the street entrance it looks like a coffee shop. We had to ask one of the employees where check in was for our reservation since we were not approached. The check in is upstairs. We were then seated promptly and brought water and asked for 2 mimosa flights. Another couple came in and sat beside us as their waiter was on the ball. Had their drinks to them and was taking their order. I had to ask if he could take our order as well which he did. We ordered the breakfast burrito which was steaming hot and perfect. The potatoes that came with it are COLD (also cold from couple seating next to us). The chocolate biscuit and gravy were just ok. We ordered it just to give a taste. The mimosa flight was ok as well. 28.00 a bit pricey. Overall, food was just ok, nothing to rave about. Our server needs a lot of help. I would Not recommend to other visitors of Nashville as I think you could get a better breakfast at denny's. read more

When I arrived nobody was at the front to greet customers. I had to walk to the back (the restaurant is very small) to find someone to let them know I had a reservation. We tried to order croissants but they were out. The bakery didn't deliver that day apparently. What's a brunch without a croissant!? I had the espresso martini which was good. The food was okay. Nothing to write home about. read more

My daughter and I recently enjoyed the afternoon tea service at Tenn. What a wonderful find! The tea options were unique (we loved the orange cream!) and the food was incredible! Lots of variety (sweet and savory scones, uniquely flavored egg and chicken salads, and tasty little sweets). Kia and Carol made the whole experience really special. If you are looking for a full tea service in Nashville this has it all - cool location, relaxed atmosphere, reasonable price (afternoon tea is always expensive but this was almost half the cost of the only other tea service in town!). Afternoon Tea at the Tenn was a lovely and delicious experience. We will be booking again soon! read more

So happy I decided on Tenn this morning. Ms. Channel helped me with my final breakfast options and jasmine tea. I'm a tea lover. The pulled pork was scrumptious, I'm going to be walking a lot this weekend. Great meeting Mr. Sonny too. Looking forward to either dinner or my next Nashville wknd trip read more

Accommodated a party of 15 for my daughter's 21st birthday brunch. Service was attentive, food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend this place. read more

Quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good food. Pricey but worth it. Homemade sausage. Good avocado toast the balsamic was a bit much. Would go again read more

This place is a joke! Don't waste your time going there. My husband and I made reservations thinking this would be a great place to try because we love Hocus Pocus. The characters were unprofessional as if they asked some random people off the street to perform for them. I asked to get a picture with them and the blonde witch said if you buy us a drink. Very tacky and displeased!!!! We got up and left. Never Again. read more

Disappointing. Food was just lacking in quality especially for the price. Fried green tomatoes had thick breading vs. light and crispy & skin was tough making it hard to cut. Menu was heavy on pimento cheese & pepper jelly. Shrimp & grits were good, although it advertised "charred" corn but seemed more like canned. House salad is $6 for a small bowl of lettuce, strawberries & blueberries. No cheese, nuts, etc. There was no indication of ingredients or if savory or not on the menu so I ordered w/ ranch assuming it would be a traditional house salad. Ambiance & service was good, food was just ehh. read more

The food is ok. Drip coffee is awful. Walk down to Elixir for your coffee. It's on the first floor of Assembly Hall. The service at Tenn is not so great. They are trying but they are failing - miserably. Well, if you are sitting down in the dining area maybe it's better. I'm staying upstairs in the Holston Hotel and I thought I would walk down to the restaurant in the lobby which is Tenn. I ordered breakfast to take back to my room and waited 40 minutes. I would have been waiting longer had I not said anything. The guy in line behind me who ordered AFTER me received his larger order before me and when I inquired, the young man seemed aloof. He said, "oh, maybe it's over here". Really?! I understand that you are busy but you have to manage carry out orders versus dining room orders better than that. Moreover they are not prepared for carry out orders. I asked for salt and pepper and he had to find a container to put it in and then he put the salt and the pepper in the same container - mixed. Asked me if I was staying in the hotel and handed me a metal fork from the dining room utensils. Oh and of course my food was not hot because it had been just sitting there. A couple walked up as I was waiting and asked if the wait was long and I suggested they go somewhere else if they had somewhere to be. It was raining and there were lots of graduations this weekend so maybe that's why my experience was bad. Maybe yours will be better. read more

This is a solid spot in downtown Nashville to get your brunch on. It's tucked aside next to a very nice boutique hotel. The inside features a modern; yet minimalistic look that sets the mood for mimosas ofcourse. The food was delicious, we ordered the breakfast burrito, the egg sandwich and we shared an order of the coconut French toast (a must get!). When I'm Nashville, if you have time for brunch; make it a priority to stop by TENN! read more

Amazing French toast! Very friendly and accommodating staff, including Breck, Joshua and Rick! Great place for a relaxing breakfast.

Met a group for brunch on Sunday after a recommendation from someone in the group who ate there the morning before. I was eyeing the shrimp and grits but was hesitant because the last two places I had gone to didn't get it right. I tried them anyway and boy I'm glad I did!!!!!!! The grits were creamy and cheesy and the shrimp was seasoned well (even tho they only give u 4 shrimp it's still filling) My sister got the hash and I tasted it and it was delicious! Pulled pork was tender and the dish was full of flavor!! Everyone enjoyed their meals and the part of the group that went for the second day in a row enjoyed their meal again! The Belgian waffle is deelish as well!!! Our waitress was precious and took care of us very well! I didn't get her name but by the way they were talking about the service that she and the other waitress gave them the day before you can tell they have a lot of fun in there and take care of their patrons! I will definitely go back when I'm in town! read more

We ate here each morning for breakfast while in Nashville. The first day we went because it was convenient and in our hotel, the next 3 days we went because the food and service are wonderful. read more

I give it 3 stars based on the quality of the food alone. The service leaves a lot to be desired. If you are staying at the adjoining hotel this is a fine place to grab a quick coffee. If you're looking for a more "Nashville" experience, this isn't the place for you. The service I would rate as 2 star the food I would give 4 stars. read more

Delicious! Egg croissant and potatoes were amazing. My husband had the fried chicken and raved about it. Ous server, Mateo, was great. He made suggestions for what to eat as well as things to do in East Nashville. Will definitely come back when in Nashville again! read more

Only went as they advertised Entertainment. Little did we know, that was a $35 ticket in another room. Ridiculously limited menu. 4-5 Entrees. I was forced to try Shrimp with flavored grits. Shrimp was over cooked but eatable. But the grits I could only manage one taste. My 2 friends, tried the pasta Bucatini (??). They said it was ok and tasty but by default. We had to ask for bread. $35 Entrees? Really? Friendly people but, that will be a last time. read more

The service was pretty bad and our server came over like twice. The food was bland and we barely got anything for our money. There was an attitude anytime we asked for anything. A really bad experience and won't be coming back. read more
