4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $75 03/20/2026 This place caught my wife's eye during her reviews of places to eat while staying in downtown Nashville and was an easy walk from our hotel, so it was our first dinner destination after arriving. The small signage made it a little difficult to find inside the Marriott (see pictures), but from the moment we walked in, heard the live piano player and saw the dining area - we knew this would be a great experience. We started off by sharing orders of Lobster Bisque (see picture) and Burrata with Toast (see pictures). We really enjoyed both of them - the Lobster Bisque was so creamy and smooth and the Burrata was cool, fresh and clean. They were a great combination to start our dinner experience and I would recommend both of them. Since it was a Friday during lent, my wife opted for the BBQ Shrimp Pasta (see picture) and I went with the Daily Fish Special on Blue Corn Grits (see picture). As we always do when we go out, we shared our plates and really enjoyed both of them. The BBQ Shrimp Pasta was rich, buttery and smooth and the Fish Special was a tasty white, flaky and blackened fish served on a bed of rich, creamy blue corn grits. Here again, both are highly recommended. While it is one of your more expensive area stops for dinner, you will appreciate the food quality and presentation at Gannons Nashville for your next special occasion.

What a wonderful dining experience! The restaurant is beautiful. Our servers were great. We…read morechallenged them to get us out by 7pm because we had to get to a concert. They made it happen. All six of us were delighted with our meals. The portions were large and cooked perfectly. I can't remember a better restaurant experience. They knocked it out of the park!

Dinner out with some out-of-town visitors. Not much of a crowd on a Wednesday evening and we were…read moreseated promptly. Our waitperson took our drink and appetizer order. As we settled in with the menu our questions were answered. The pretzel appetizer took a rather long time. Apparently the original portion was burned and was remade. Our main meal arrived and I ordered a brown ale. I nearly finished my burger before the ale arrived "The bar was backed up". Our meals were hot and freshly made from the kitchen. The Jasper Burger was juicy and the bleu cheese was slightly brown and went well with the patty. I was able to swap the American cheese out for the blue. My bang bang Brussels were excellent with the right amount of spiciness. Chicken sandwich and wedge fries looked delicious as did all the food. All in all the food was very good and the service was accurate if a bit slow. Tips: Parking in the lot is validated. Head on in and scan the QR code at the host station for three hours of free parking. It appears that even though they don't offer alternative cheeses on the menu if you ask you can get any cheese they have for the other dishes. Be sure to review your check. We were there on Wednesday evening but the burgers were billed at full price. Not the end of the world however good servers should know the specials.

The grilled chicken was juicy and flavorful. Bun super soft and the addition of pineapple added a touch of sweetness. The first time I went there was only the bartender servicing the entire restaurant, and she did the best she could given the circumstances. So I give this place a 4. I also came when it wasn't super busy so food came out quickly. My second time was happy hour on purpose. I wanted the Pinot again but they didn't have a full glass worth of it left. She gave me what little they did have, and I ordered the Preds Punch. Way too sweet but looked really cool. Both times service was good. Would go back a third time if I'm ever in the area.

I recommend making a reservation if possible. Even with one, we still waited about 15 minutes to be…read moreseated. We were placed in the lower-level dining area, which we didn't mind at all--it had a great atmosphere with a live band performing until 10 PM. Our server (I apologize for forgetting her name) was excellent--friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. For food, we ordered the seafood tower (The Big Eddie), crab fried rice, and Chilean sea bass. Everything was outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. For drinks, we had the Hope Diamond and a tequila soda. The Hope Diamond was especially good, and our server even shared the ingredients so we could recreate it at home. The ambiance is elegant with a lively energy, thanks to the live music. If you're looking for a quieter, more intimate experience, I'd recommend requesting upstairs seating. Be prepared to spend $$$, but overall, it's worth it for the experience.

Eddie V's Prime Seafood is one of the most respectable upscale restaurants in the city, and the…read morefood lives up to the hype! As their name implies, their seafood is fantastic, probably the best in the entire city! They have a policy that every seafood served at Eddie V's was alive in the ocean less than 36 hours prior! Anything left over is donated, which is impressive! And you can taste its incredible freshness throughout the meal! There are only 30 locations of Eddie V's in 15 states, but the quality is hardly reminiscent of chain restaurant food. It's truly exquisite! And we have very high standard having dined at Michelin-starred eateries all over the world. The scallops, lobster, and lobster bisque are easily the best in Nashville, and we've dined at every high-class restaurant Music City has to offer! The butter poached lobster mashed potatoes are incredible, extra creamy topped with buttery lobster and a beurre blanc sauce. The truffle mac is equally stupendous, with a three-cheese blend, truffle oil, and thinly shaved truffles imported from France! While most upscale restaurants tend to make a very strong truffle mac that has overpowering flavors, the chef at Eddie V's manages to make this, and all dishes, subtle and flavorful without overdoing it. Just as amazing as the seafood are the steaks. Since they had a Japanese A5 Wagyu in the building at $40 an ounce, something they don't have every night, I took advantage of that! As expected, the highest grade of Japanese beef did not disappoint, and the chef prepared it to perfection. That impossibly tender steak seasoned beautifully just meted in my mouth, probably the second best steak I've eaten in Nashville! The ponzu sauce, one of three that accompanied the steak, was delicious. The Korean inspired gochujang was also good, but maybe not perfect for this style of steak. But the wasabi paste was the winner, a perfect compliment to the beef without being very spicy, just wonderfully flavorful. Like all dishes here, they've impeccably balanced flavor with subtly! The desserts aren't bad either, but they pale in comparison to the beef, seafood, and side dishes!

Great seafood. Oysters were top notch with tasting notes, fresh shredded horseradish, what I…read moreassume was a house hot sauce and mignonette (everything required / desired). The striped bass was good with a nice Jonah crap beurre blanc sauce. Cocktail had a good clear ice large cube presentation and a good balance of bourbon, rye amaro and bitters. I don't live in Nashville but would come back to this place when I returned. The waitress mentioned the octopus as a stand-out which I will try next time.

We had a large group dinner here (8 people) and tried a bunch of oysters, appetizers & entrees - see the photos. The oysters are super fresh and all the dishes were tasty, albeit SUPER heavy.

Famous for not having a sign, finding it may be part of the adventure, but once you do, everything else is effortless. Parking is simple--just pull up and valet takes care of the rest. With a reservation, we walked right in with no wait. The most difficult part of the evening was deciding what to order because the menu offers so many tempting choices. I selected the Kvarøy Arctic Salmon, while my wife chose the Springer Mountain Farms All-Natural Chicken. Both dishes exceeded expectations. The salmon was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It rested on a bed of greens with a subtle lemon flavor that paired beautifully with the fish. The chicken was equally impressive--moist, tender, and packed with flavor. What stood out most was the incredible smoky aroma that hit before each bite, making it even more irresistible. For dessert, the Blackberry Lemon Bread Pudding was the perfect finish. Soft, warm, and bursting with flavor, it was a standout ending to an already exceptional meal. From the outstanding food to the attentive service, Urban Grub delivered a fantastic dining experience. Make a reservation, enjoy the meal, and see if you can find the place.

They were not what I was expecting but they were good. They are more like a crab hush puppy. The Alabama white sauce that came with set the beignet off!! The grits...the grits (chefs kiss).

As the only ones there, service was friendly and attentive. The housemade focaccia they brought out was the best part of the meal. Hot and salty with a homemade olive butter was to die for. Hubs had the scallops and I had the roasted cabbage. He said his was really good and well seasoned.

I ordered the Eggs Benedict which looked good on the menu but far less so upon arrival at the table. The hollandaise sauce was clumpy and congealed while the eggs looked more like hard boiled than poached. The waitress was like "You don't like them cooked?" . I ordered something more straight-forward and she asked if I would like to munch on my prior "hard boiled benedict" while waiting. Nice thought... but if it looks inedible why would I want to eat it?? I then waited patiently for my sunny side up eggs with home fried potatoes. Those arrived with a hair in them! Needless to say, after sitting patiently for an hour waiting for some semblance of edible food, I had to stand up and leave. The manager "comped" my two dishes (that I didn't touch!) but still charged for my partner's meal, the coffee and juice. Bad experience. Do not go here.

I've never seen or heard anything about it, but against all odds got lost after getting my car serviced and found my way here. You walk in and immediately see windows and windows of fresh seafood and tanks, and stainless steel sinks lining the perimeter of the restaurant complete with paper towels. Growing up on the coast, I didn't think I'd find something like this in Nashville but was so pleasantly surprised. The prices are more than fair, and everything somehow tastes so fresh, as if it was fresh caught. There's a Louisiana vibe to the place, complete with an inspired mural. The crab legs were delicious but I want to come back and try the oysters! This is definitely the best place to get your true Cajun fix in Nashville.
