We hosted a dinner for Vanderbilt University students and alumni in our department, and it went exceptionally well. A pre-selected, printed menu featuring our program's logo was ready upon arrival, and we had a dedicated server and bartender throughout the evening. Both the manager and event planner were also on-site and readily available if we needed anything. We had a wonderful experience working with the event planner, Marty, to coordinate all the details in advance, everything was seamless. We look forward to hosting future events here! read more

I love this place for brunch! I grabbed a seat at the upstairs bar and was immediately welcomed in. They had a DJ spinning all the R&B jams, and I was literally dancing in my seat the entire time. Such a fun vibe from the moment you walk in. Now let's talk about the food. The shrimp and grits were absolutely fire, easily in the top 5 I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. The shrimp were juicy and succulent, and the sauce was rich, savory, and perfectly balanced with a little kick of spice. Honestly, I daydream about this dish often. Their drink menu is a good time too. Two chambongs for $10? Say less. And their espresso martini was so good. Caribbean Mimosa was a bit sweet but the passion fruit flavor was tasty. The bar service was fantastic, friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely fun. Food came out quickly, even with how busy they were. This is definitely a popular brunch spot for groups, so I'd recommend making reservations. The restaurant is two stories with a great upstairs outdoor seating area. If you're looking for a lively brunch spot with great music, amazing food, fun drinks, and top-notch service, this is the place. I look forward to coming back! read more

Nick and I came here for Sunday brunch and had a great experience. We had a reservation but arrived early and were seated right away with no problem. We sat upstairs, which was a nice spot for a relaxed brunch. We each had a mimosa and shared the breakfast tower. The only small disappointment was that the "tower" was only two tiers, so it didn't feel much like a tower. That said, the food was delicious. We had bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits, and hash browns, and the jelly with the biscuits was especially good. Our server was friendly and attentive. Brunch for the two of us was just over $100, but overall it was a great meal. read more

We had such a fun time here! We've been here twice for big group celebrations, and both times William took amazing care of us. He was super friendly and on top of everything, which made the whole experience even better. The holiday decorations gave the place a cozy, festive vibe, and the food was delicious. Upstairs, the DJ kept the vibe going with music that actually got us up and dancing. Overall, it's just a wonderful spot to celebrate and enjoy good food with good people. read more

Definitely love the atmosphere the only part that wasn't great was two separate parties that were so loud none of our group could hear each other, so it is a place that can get super noisy. But when I tell you the food was great and exactly what brunch should be. I believe our waiters name was Andrew and he was an incredible individual who took great care of us. read more

We came here on a Friday for their happy hour and Galentines pop up and it was cute. We shared some apps and had a cocktail on their happy hour menu then went up stairs and took some cute pics and also tried the valentine special expresso martini. It was cute overall. The service was good. We got there early so it wasn't busy at all. read more

I came here for the infamous girl dinner tower but didn't realize you can only get it during happy hour which I was a bit too early for. I ordered the poke bowl which was okay, nothing special and nothing even in the same realm as aloha fish co. My table also ordered a fish sandwhich which was excellent. The service was good and the drinks were too but this place is just okay. If I'm around and it's happy hour, the girl dinner tower looks tempting but this isn't somewhere I am running back to read more

Twenty First - Happy hour menu - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We went for the first time for a birthday brunch. There was a live DJ, It was so much fun. Our waitress was great, she was able to take our big group and very sweet. But sitting upstairs in the summer was rough, it was so hot and it was an in closed area. We ordered everything, the food was actually pretty good. I was impressed, cause it's hard to find a spot with good brunch along with good drinks. read more

If you're a tourist this is a nice spot to go to switch it up from being on Broadway. Quaint little spot in the neighborhood. The champagne bongs - come in a set of two. I live someone where else and it's not that cheap. We got the churros and chicken. I felt like the red velvet actually tasted as such and not just a name. The chicken was lightly breaded, served hot and was definitely! But the real MVP of this meal was the cheeses grits and let me tell you I think that name underestimates them..... the sauce was like a Cajun Alfredo sauce on top of the grits. Smooth and nice little spice to them! Omg my mind was blown and I don't like anything in my grits but for the sake of vacation, I tried something different. Highly recommend. Also, ordered the salmon salad, was so full from the appetizers I later ate this at home but also well seasoned salmon prepared with great lettuce. Loved this spot !!! read more

Twenty First - No mall Santas here. Nice Christmas pop-up decor. - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This was our first time here and as soon as you enter the restaurant you could feel the vibes. They played music of different genres and it wasn't so loud you couldn't have a conversation, which I liked. My sister and I brought my mom here for Mother's Day. If you can find parking in the back, they do offer free parking for 90 minutes. I ended up finding street parking. We started off with the Nashville hot chicken dip. It was delicious, and it had a nice kick to it. It wasn't too spicy. My mom and I love spice and rated it low heat and so did my sister who doesn't do spicy like that. I would order more bread bc the bread to dip ratio was not it. Our waiter was great. We were seated upstairs and I love that they have outdoor seating as well. I ordered the breakfast burrito, I didn't love the ranch dressing it came with but I asked for tapatio, they didn't have it but they did have Tabasco. We all enjoyed our meals. I definitely want to come back. read more

Came here with a group of 6, made reservations weeks in advance, when we arrived it was empty, they wanted to give us a table by the kitchen door, I asked if we could actually be upstairs, they graciously let us. When they confirmed the reservation they mentioned we had a time limit on the table. Although I understand the reason behind this, it's very off putting to say. It's kind of implied you wouldn't stay at a restaurant for hours. The food was average and the service lacking, like most other places these days. read more

Great Brunch Spot with a great "Day Pass" for mimosas. This spot was such a vibe and had a really good DJ. We made reservations prior and were really looking forward to coming as all the pictures online looked really nice. Upon walking in this place did not disappoint. Everything was really clean and organized and the greeter to our server were super nice. Another thing I really appreciated was the GM and the cook walking around asking - how everything was tasting and just simply making sure you were liking everything and having a good time. Party of 6 and everyone enjoyed the food, drinks and coffee. Only thing was they didn't have hats available for sale and we were all ready to buy one. We let the GM know though. read more

We went for brunch and it was quite the experience. We were seated at one table to start but were shifted to another a few minutes later. One of the team members, not our servers, graciously comped us chambongs for the entire table for having to move. I do want to note this place isn't the most vegetarian friendly, with the only options being a salad or avocado toast or the French toast. If you want a heftier brunch, I recommend trying elsewhere as they were unwilling to make modifications to other entrees. The positive was the food. Everything except the avocado toast was delicious. We got the burger, the shrimp and grits, the French toast, and the salmon salad. Everything was great! Our servers weren't the most attentive, with us having to wait long periods of time for our order to be taken and our drinks were only refilled upon asking. Once food was brought over, we didn't have silverware given the shift in tables and had to wait for the team to come back over to request some. I know this place only recently opened, hence the three stars instead of two. read more

Nice for pics and the music selection was good. We didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. The service was terrible. We ordered food. It took so long. When we got the beignets they were cold and hard. We sent them back. I ordered the salmon Benedict but they cooked my eggs scrambled by mistake. They were out of salmon so they couldn't remake it. I got the traditional breakfast, and it was just okay. My friend got the crab cakes, and she loved them. I tried them as well and agree. Delicious. If you want amazing food, try somewhere else. If you want a nice vibe with okay food and service, still make a reservation. read more

My husband and I went to Twenty First for brunch this weekend and it was so much fun! We arrived, just the two of us on a Saturday afternoon without reservation and was able to be seated immediately.++ The minute you walk in you can hear the DJ curating the vibe for the entire restaurant. People are up dancing, having engaging conversations and the staff is very welcoming! We came pretty hungry so we did order a few items, but I'm going to highlight my favorites! First the Nashville hot chicken dip was absolutely amazing. We came in wanting to try their Wake and Bacon (because it was popular on Tik tok and their recent reviews) but once we started to order and explore the menu, our waitress highly recommended the Nashville, hot chicken dip, so we tried it! To keep it simple, it did not disappoint! It was so good! And it came out steaming hot and cheese, bubbling!! My husband ordered the hangover Smashburger and he loved it! He said that he's going to stamp them for the best brunch burger in Nashville (& he's a local). I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict, and I like my eggs cooked hard. The Benedict was very flavorful and extremely filling! (I couldn't finish it all). As far as the bar, I have zero complaints. I ordered the rain delay, which had ginger, eucalyptus and a Grey Goose strawberry, lemongrass liquor, that was very unique & it was garnished with a ginger candy, which was very tasty as well. Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant and I highly recommend for brunch in Nashville! read more

Had the ceasar salad with salmon while on a lunch break during work. I think the dressing was pretty good and the salmon was well cooked, but it wasn't anything super special. There was only one functioning bathroom when I went and there was a long line for it which was a bit annoying. Otherwise a decent experience here. read more

Loved the vibes at Twenty First! It's a great summer option with lots of natural light for brunch. While the vibes were high, the food was just okay. Nothing was terrible, but nothing changed my life. As a foodie, there are better brunch options if you're willing to trade off on the fun vibes. Worth trying! read more

I went with a few friends for a girl's night and we had the best time! The drinks are so yummy and well balanced and we love how fun the garnishes are. For dinner we had the "girl dinner" and the hotdog tower--both are so fun and have plenty of food! The salad is crispy and the dressing is home made and is not your basic Caesar. The true star of the show is the hot dog tower, each one is different--we adored the chorizo with radish and jalapeno. The buns are so soft and every flavor combination was truly spectacular. The restaurant is clean, they are not blaring music which I so appreciate because we could all talk and hear each other which is rarely the case in Nashville. The service is friendly and attentive. We will be back! read more

Twenty First - Menu - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I hate having to write reviews like this because I wanted SO BADLY for this to be my new girls night spot. So I went with my husband to check it out this afternoon. We were seated and our super nice waitress took our drink order. My husband ordered the deviled eggs and I ordered the beet salad with a side of fries to share. She came back to inform us that they couldn't serve any salads, the health department was there and they were throwing things out. Major red flag but I thought maybe its was just a small thing. So I ordered the Cacio e Pepe thinking it would be a simple and safe option. Wrong! The pasta was overcooked and had that gummy slimy quality instead of being al dente. The sauce was so severely over peppered it burned my throat. I had my husband try it twice to make sure it wasn't me and he was coughing and sputtering. I've had authentic cacio e pepe so many times and never has it ever left a burning quality in my mouth or throat. I had to send it back and while I'm grateful I wasn't charged for the dish I am extremely reluctant to return to try their dinner menu and cannot fathom suggesting to my girl friends that we go here for our night out. My husband said the deviled eggs were good but they never brought out the side of fries. We weren't charged for the fries but I'm just still not sure why they axed it just because they couldn't serve my salad. I will give it one more shot sometime this month at their dinner or brunch because I believe in second chances but All I can say is I hope it's worth it. Keep your eyes peeled for my update before 12/25. read more

Definitely a lively-party brunch vibe, the DJ was pretty good. We really liked the atomosphere, unfortunately the service and drinks fell short. We were made aware when we sat down that the kitchen was behind and the food might come out slower. No problem there, we wanted to chat and catch up anyways. Our large group was seated at a super cute and perfectly fitting table. It took a while for our server to come by. When she did come by, we all put in our drink orders. The drinks took an absurdly long time to come out, that is if they came out. Two people from our party were waiting for their drinks when the food came out. The food came out super quick and we felt like they should have warned us about the bar, not the kitchen being behind. A member of my party did not enjoy her drink and asked for a regular mimosa. After twenty minutes the server came by asking if we needed anything and my friend politely reminded that she was waiting on a drink. The server then asked if anyone else wanted drinks, and lastly asked my friend what she had ordered. When everyone else's drinks came out, she still had not received her drink. At that point we said to forget about it, although she would have enjoyed having. drink or two. The food was not bad, not super great. The deviled eggs were pink which was fun. I got the poke bowl which actually tasted pretty fresh! I think it could have used more seasoning or sauce or toppings- just something to make the flavor stand out. Long story short, I think they will get on their feet eventually. They really need to work on timeliness. Keep up the DJ and the interior. read more

We celebrated our year-end girlfriend's dinner here, and honestly... it was chef's kiss from start to finish! The service was exceptional, Aurora took such great care of us, and Chef Eric personally checked in, which made the night feel even more special. We ordered a spread of small plates, and every single dish was a winner: the truffle fries (addictive), skillet cornbread (buttery perfection), charred cabbage (shockingly flavorful), prime rib empanadas (so good we almost ordered a second round), Brussels, wings, and the creamy bolognese. DELISH across the board! To top it off, they surprised me with a birthday treat, the beignets...and they were incredible. Light, warm, and the perfect sweet ending. Twenty First delivered on food, service, and vibe. Already looking forward to coming back! read more

Went to Twenty First to celebrate my friends birthday and had a great time. The waiter was kind enough to bring us a champagne toast and beignets for dessert as part of the celebration - which made the night! We ordered a handful of appetizers and entrees, all of which had rave reviews by my group. We started with the Girl Tower appetizer - though beware, the dressing was not as Caesar-y as we had originally expected, though it was still quite good. We also got the hamachi (which was delicious) and the empanadas (my favorite and had a slight kick to them). For entrees we tried the short rib (10/10), the cacio e Pepe (10/10), the magi (9/10) and the burger (8/10). I was surprised the restaurant wasn't completely packed, but fear people may not know how great their food is outside of the Girl Dinner tower, which has gone viral on social media. This place is definitely worth the visit, and I hope they are more busy in the future! read more

Let me start by saying the food we had was decent. But they have a horrible happy hour. I have been there when they first opened and they had a happy hour that was really good. It was offered throughout the restaurant and had decent times. We went back today about 4:45 pm and we were told happy hour is only at the bar and it ends at 5 PM. Being in a location around businesses and the hospital, I'm not sure who benefits from that happy hour. They may want to rethink their happy hour Specials and timeframe and go back to original plan. read more

We celebrated a bachelorette brunch at Twenty First, and it could not have been a better experience! The food was delicious--especially the Nashville Hot Chicken Dip. What really made our visit exceptional was the service. Dawson, our server, was a true delight--attentive, personable, and such a great listener. He even remembered the brides wedding month, which made the experience feel so personal and thoughtful. Between the amazing food, fun vibe, and remarkable service, I can't wait to come back to try dinner next! read more

I went here with a group of girlfriends during our Nashville trip over fall break. We had a reservation for the seven of us but still had to end up waiting about an hour to get seated. Because we had to wait longer, they gave all of us free mimosas to get started while we finished waiting. After getting seated, we all chose the bottomless mimosas option for 2 hours. The price point of this is very reasonable and definitely worth it, depending on how many mimosas you're planning on having. The menu was relatively small but offered good options for brunch foods and everything was delicious. The appetizers were easy to share with the table and they had options that appealed to everyone. The food came pretty quickly after we ordered and was perfect. The mimosas were basically build-your-own : the waitress would pour a GENEROUS glass of bubbles and you could choose how much orange, cranberry, or peach juice you wanted to add. The mimosas were also served in wine glasses instead of champagne flutes. I would say it is definitely easy to get carried away with the mimosas. The ambiance of the resturant is wonderful and perfect for a girls trip in Nashville. The DJ inside kept everyone at the bar and those who were waiting entertained. We sat upstairs on the balcony and the weather was perfect. The tables were not too crowded together so the patio wasn't too loud or hard to move around in. Our waitress was great and made sure we had a lot of fun and were taken care of after waiting for a while. Overall it was a great experience and something I would reccommend to anyone planning a girls trip in Nashville! read more

Twenty First - Girl Dinner - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Came here on August 31st with a party of 4 for brunch. Chose this place because everything on Broadway was booked for Labor Day weekend. Their website made it look like a fancy, higher end restaurant, however, upon entering the vibe was so different than what I would've expected. Not a bad thing though! Music was BUMPIN' and the energy was similar to a day drink/brunch scene. Lots of high energy and loud hip-hop/R&B music, which I enjoy as a Bay Area native, but definitely not a chill, quiet brunch if that's what you're looking for. We got sat at a booth which was great, but might be a tight squeeze for some. It was perfect for our group of 4 and had a pretty good people watching view of everyone entering/leaving the restaurant. I didn't explore the outside much, but I wouldn't be upset if we were sat anywhere else. Staff was quite nice, our server was especially kind and very attentive! I noticed a lot of people ordering this fancy drink that gets lit on fire, and the staff was kind enough to relight them for people to get pictures/videos. So cute, haha. Things our table ordered: - "Day Pass" aka Bottomless Mimosas or Blood Marys (you can change between the two) Our server was kind enough to give us a jug of champagne and little pitchers of juices (OJ, Pineapple and Cranberry) to try. - "Stuffed Hashbrowns" 10/10 SO GOOD. I would go back and just eat like 3 of these. The creme fraiche on top was DELISH. - "Nashville Hot Chicken Dip" 7.5/10 Very good, our table enjoyed this a lot, but it wasn't anything I felt like I haven't had. Still very good. - "Coffee Glazed Beignets" (not pictured) 7/10, points given because they're delicious airy balls of dough with sugar and stuff, but nothing mind blowing. - "Smoked Salmon Benedict" 6/10 Benedicts are just good in general, but the smoked salmon was a little too salty to me. After a few bites I was over it. - "Short Rib Hash" (not pictured) 5/10. It was good, but my boyfriend was full and it wasn't super flavorful to keep digging into. - "Bruleed French Toast" (not pictured) Our friends got this, and while I didn't try it, it did look pretty good! Overall, seems like a lively place with pretty good food. Our table enjoyed the appetizers more than anything. Good place for a friend group to get a little wild. We ubered there, so no notes on parking, but the building was easy to find. read more

Service was good but the food was just ok. The vibe was nice though. We ordered the Bacon and Brussels which was a 4 (out of 5). Smash burger was Mid or a 3. The glizzy tower was also mid and you're at the chef's mercy as to the toppings they put on the hot dogs as they have a NO substitution policy. As a native Chicagoan, I don't play when it comes to my dogs. Although they were beef (which is critically important to me), the toppings were a straight PASS, meaning a 1 (out of 5). Also, there is no way ketchup should be put on a hotdog after the age of 5! Pico di gallo has NO place on a hot dog - EVER!!! The best thing were the tower fries which were also Mid. All that said, I will give this place another try and come back as the vibe is nice, although touristy. read more
