REVIEWS OF Merchants IN Tennessee

Mallory Elias

Always a great experience with excellent food and great drink selections.

Sharron Phillips

Beautiful atmosphere, good service.

Amber Mills

VERY GOOD! I got the table in the corner window and the atmosphere and scenery was great. Everything we ordered was superb. Friendly server. Reasonable prices. Great menu with flare on how they prepare even the most basic of meals. Absolutely recommend!

tim crowder

All things combined very, very good! Food, service, atmosphere, excellent wine, cocktails and brew selection plus in the heart of bustling Lower Broadway.

Sarah Wilson

Absolutely delicious and such a pretty building!! All the servers were so nice. Their steak is unbelievably tender and definitely the best I’ve ever had! Highly recommend this restaurant!!

Lori Theus

We had our son's rehearsal dinner on the 3rd floor and the food was amazing, the staff was perfect but the attention to detail is what floored me! Alexis helped me pick out the food options and calmed my nerves and Jonathan greeted us at the elevator knowing our names before he even met us. I wish we could go back and do it again. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for a night that will be remembered forever!

I took my sister to Merchants (first floor) last night for dinner. We were in Nashville for the weekend celebrating her birthday. We were seated right away. The manager, Ryan, was extremely friendly and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. Our waitress, Bailey, was so kind and also very attentive. The tater tots were some of the best I’ve ever had. The Caesar salad and mac n cheese were also very good. My Tennessee Mojito was amazing. We were too full to enjoy a birthday dessert, but our waitress still brought my sister a birthday card signed by the staff at Merchants. It was a great overall dining experience and I will definitely be back in the future. They probably have the best customer service of any restaurant in the area.

Jill Magerman

I am not one to write reviews, but our experience at Merchants last week needed to be shared. Five of us were in Nashville celebrating our milestone birthday. (Each one reaching this age this year). We spontaneously went to Merchants for lunch and it is one of our highlights of our trip. We waited only 5 minutes for our table and each of our meals were fantastic and beautifully presented. We casually mentioned that we were here celebrating this collective birthday and before we knew it, Jimmy, the manager came over to be sure that all was well. He spent several minutes talking with us, getting to know a little about us. (This was our experience throughout Nashville) Then a few minutes later, Jimmy and our waitress came back with a card signed by many of the staff at Merchants and two amazing blond brownies with ice cream to celebrate us. What a wonderful welcome to Nashville. We highly recommend the food and the service here.

Ene George

Great food and ambiance. Service is friendly. The Mac and cheese is really good. Wings were ok but the Salmon sandwiches were good!

J M

Food is really good. Nicely prepared. Love the ambiance.

Mark Yates

We ate downstairs and throughly enjoyed it. Service was great and the food was very tastey. I had the Johnny Cash chili, very meaty

Mahmoud Hamdan

Location is in the middle of the Broadway which is in the middle of the action.. From the first look at it, was nice welcoming place.. You'll feel lost for the first moment, not knowing where are guiding you to, because if you are dinning in they'll take you to the second floor without explaining where you are going... Menue is not clear but staff are helpful and they will guide you through, ordered mt beautiful order ribeye steak.. First try was not successful, it was burned with carbon allover the surface of the steak, quick comment to the waiter and it was replaced with a better version of the steak.. Price is a bit more than I expected, it was an expensive meal end of the story.. Not worth the investment. Over all 3 out of 5 is upscale rating because the staff are really nice and the manager too. Thank you guys.

Candace Greer

Merchants was a delightful experience. We sat at the bar to avoid the wait times. The bartenders were knowledgeable of both libations and food. The service was swift, and the atmosphere was bright and lively.

jreimer888

Great place for dinner/drinks before a Ryman show.

Adam Nicks

Alisha gave us amazing service! I got the 28 day aged ribeye and it was absolutely incredible.

kevin kuranz

Highly recommend the double deviled eggs, they were incredible! Staff was super friendly, and prices were reasonable!

Paul G

Excellent service, strong drinks, and the best damn steak I've had in a very long time. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Nashville.

Dean M

We celebrated our anniversary here and had a wonderful experience. The Salmon Oscar and Pan Roasted Swordfish were very tasty and presented in an appealing manner. The service was astounding, not only by our waiter Casey, but every other member of the waitstaff. We enjoyed the decor and atmosphere of the 2nd floor. The Manager, Jonathan, and everyone else there that evening made it a memorable occasion. Would highly recommend for great service and excellent quality of the food.

Andrew Clarke

The prime rib was excellent.

Charene Robinson

Visiting Nashville from California. We decided to stop into Merchants for a nice lunch. We sat at the bar as there were few tables available and we did not have a reservation. We enjoy sitting at the bar, so this worked out great. We ordered a beer, fried green tomatoes and a burger. Everything was amazing. We chatted with the bar tender, ate our yummy food and were very impressed with the decor, the vibe and the food. All in all, we enjoyed Merchants very much.

Kisha Joyner

Service was slow. Food and wait staff were great. Atmosphere is wonderful.

Lorenzo Jackson

Had the onion rings, jambalaya and an old fashion.

Aaron Farmer

Visited as it looked good as we passed. So pleased we did. Greeted by Ariel who was delightfully managing the seating. After a short wait we were seated. Ordered steak salad and salmon BLT. After a bit of a wait the manager apologised the the steak was not to their normal high standard and was being prepared again. The test of a great restaurant is to let the customer know if there is a problem and sort it. They were first class. Food was fantastic and server really good. Will be back tonight.

Brian DiVasta

Overall very good experience; jambalaya was seasoned nicely with the right amount of kick; could have had more of the sausage and rice but still quite good. The tater tots were a terrific appetizer.

Ken Levinson

Visiting Nashville for a truck injury conference with fellow trial lawyers and had a fantastic group dinner at Merchants last night. The food and service were first rate. She ordered "family style" so got to try lots of their great dishes. Highly recommend the lobster roll sandwiches, deviled eggs, mussels, and of course their famous steaks. Looking forward to returning again soon!

Jason Heckaman

Prices are really high- food was okay and servers were very nice, place was clean, but almost $20 for a hamburger and almost $50 for a steak... Make sure you have enough room on your credit card...

Carl Bush

While we've enjoyed Merchants upstairs dining room many times in the past, the experience was just off this time. We had a reservation and we're right on time, yet - according to them - they sat overflow customers upstairs and did not hold a table for us. We ended up at a table right by the stairs and pushed against a post that made it difficult to fit the three of us. The food was also sub par, with a radical difference in meat doneness on two identical dishes. -- To top it off, none of the four hostesses at the podium downstairs could bother to look up and say "Thank you" while we were on the way out. They did not have customers; they were just too busy talking to one another to look up.

Matthew Dickert

Great food. Bustling. Helpful staff.

Earlie Sanders

Great place in stark contrast to the wild life of Broadway. Great service and food!

Gregory Barrett

Had a very good dinner here and the service was excellent. The jambalaya was very good with just enough spice. The burger was tasty and perfectly cooked. The building is from 1892 and is a great refuge from Broadway as you can see the chaotic mess outside but the restaurant bloacks our most of the noise.

Ben Holter

Great food and great atmosphere. Come here to get away for a bit from the loud live music and have some of their duckfat tator tots and entrees.

Jay Mcleod

The cat fish sandwich was awesome.

Jo Perez

Loved it! Staff was very helpful and food was excellent!

Jennifer Kearns

My husband and I made reservations for a birthday weekend. The entire staff is so accommodating to allergy needs! From the hostess (Samantha) , an extremely attentive waitress (Christa) , and a manager (Jonathan) who understands dietary needs due to allergies and autoimmune disorders. Christa worked closely with the chef to ensure we were able to have a fantastic meal and experience. This was by far our best dining out experience. Thank you all!!

Jay Money

Love the friendly staff and they always hook me up with water while im walk and rolling!

Karli Krasnipol

Our food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was fun and comfortable, and the restaurant is really beautiful. Our waitress, Jasmine, was fantastic and really made our experience. Would highly recommend!

steven dodson

Bone in Pork chop is amazing. Awesome bartenders!

David Swift

Hamburger joint. I was expecting more upscale given we reserved a private dining room.

matt jackson

Nice place with quite tasty food, however it is quite expensive. The nice restaurant on the second floor would be a great location for a business, however despite the noise of Broadway being dampened the inside of the building echoes sound very well, resulting in difficult conversations. We had a group of 12 people and we found we were forced to speak in raised raised voices to hear each other across the table. For smaller parties this may not be an issue.

G C

Food was delicious. Waiter was GREAT!

A-lana Davis

Nice place. Steak with bourbon cream sauce is good.

Sarah E. Tinsley

Delicious and incredible vibe! We went for lunch, a group of 5 and everyone seemed to really enjoy their food. The swordfish is GREAT and the side was a cabbage and butternut squash. I really enjoyed the bbq popcorn too!

Dani Ray

Such a great place! Our party of 11 was seated immediately and taken amazing care of by our server Ethan, and the manager Jonathan! The environment was spectacular and the food was even better! Will absolutely be back whenever in town next.

Rebecca G

I am vegan and allergic to oil. Not fun when you are in Nashville because its mostly fried food. It's tough to find a compliant meal. But the chef (upstairs) here is AMAZING!!! He used his skills, talent, and love for food to cook me an absolutely flavorful dish that I could enjoy. It was roasted veggies with toasted almonds and some bits of orange with a lemon balsamic spritz. Thank you, thank you for the best meal in town!

Mark Hodges

Nice place to have a drink. Quieter than the other places surrounding.

Savannah Guzman

What a fantastic experience. Johnathan helped me arrange a last second reservation for the University of Kentucky Dance Team while we were traveling with the SEC Tournament in Nashville. We ate at Merchants the year before and loved it so much we wanted to come back, but this time we specifically wanted to sit together as a team. They explained that they do not normally let parties in the private room upstairs often or without any alcohol sales, but they graciously made an exception for us. When we arrived from a tragic loss of the game that afternoon they greeted us with sympathy and took the time to make us custom place cards. It was so sweet we kept them as souvenirs. We were starving from the game so they brought us popcorn NON-STOP. We got 3 orders of their famous Duck Fat Tater tots along with our meals. We were checked in on regularly our waiter danced for us. The UKDT, to this day, still talks about those tater -tots and how great the service was. THANK YOU again Merchants! See you next year!

**

A little food gem on a strip of music bars and BBQ / Nashville Hot Chicken spots. The interior is packed and very noisy (but so is the whole honky tonk strip!) but still comfortable and nicely decorated. Good service and accommodating to requests. The salmon was delicious, the salads were good, will return and bring more guests.

Vera Demeduk

Lasts nights dinner at merchants was perfect from are outstanding waitress Rachael ( my home town Maryland girl) to the extremely courteous Charles who offered to shine our shoes everyone was spot on!! The rest of the staff that stopped by our table to help out all did a lovely job The food was creative without being fussy just a wonderful experience.

Tomarck Corner

Had a blast of a time. Samantha and Anna were helpful and gave great service. Fell in love with the mojito!

John Ferenz

Clean, friendly, good food. We 'll be back before we leave Nashville area. And dine upstairs that time.

Mwelwa Kostrick

Great food and service. Went on a Tuesday and had to wait 20min for a table. Ambiance was good with some awesome 90s background music. I appreciated not eating in front of a loud country band. Food selection was good. I enjoyed my salmon sandwich with sweet potatoe fries. Great Moscato selection. My sister got the jambalaya meal and mojito and wasn't a fan unfortunately. Dry rubbed wings were good. Our waiter Chris was kind and helpful. Will return again if ever back in that area.

Jean Jones

Food was delicious. Because we had a fairly large group, the noise level was horrific!! It made conversing almost impossible.

Steven Boley

Quick service. Large salad. Good beer selection

Elisio Sapata

Good place for a quick stop. Decent menu, southern fare, good cocktail list and the service is helpful. It can get busy but the employees step up and try to make everyone’s experience as pleasant as possible.

Kayla Arp

Quick seating, great food, good drinks. Awesome and classy, yet laid back, atmosphere!

Alanna Appleton

We had a great meal and Chris, our server, was excellent. The portions were huge and the atmosphere was fun.

Will Porter

Ate downstairs at the bar. Very attentive service and the food was fantastic. Catfish sandwich and burger were perfect. They split the wedge for us which had the right amount of dressing and bacon. Best part of the meal were the drinks. Moscow mike with homemade ginger syrup perfectly mixed. Highly recommend to anyone. Sitting downstairs is casual so don’t worry about attire. Find Travis, usually in the downstairs bar. Fantastic bartender. Will make the best drink of your year.

Brittany Presley

Great service! My steak was cooked to perfection. I will be coming back when I visit Nashville again!

Nicole

We walked in here by chance and had an incredible experience. The service was superb and the menu is creative, essentially Southern and refreshing. The beverage menu is extensive and there are many local selections. Get the tater tots and fried green tomato appetizers - they do not disappoint! Excellent black bean burgers and sweet potato fries too! Bon appetit!

Randy Latner

We came for a late lunch on Sunday. Service was great and Lea was an excellent waitress. We would recommend the Grilled chicken sandwich and pulled pork sandwiches. We would definitely come back

Lauren Campo

Definitely one of the nicer places downtown on Broadway. Food was delicious.

Merideth Cooper

Came early evening/late afternoon because there was no reservations after 5pm. Got the fried green tomatoes, tater tots, and flat iron steak. Everything was delicious and our waiter was great! If you are looking for a nice meal without the loud bands, definitely try here.

Don and Mary Harter

Great food and service and you can have a conversation and hear each other. Will eat there again!!!

Taylar Schmit

Literally the best steak I've ever had. The butter sauce complimented it perfectly. The seafood platter was also delicious. I dont normally eat oysters but they were good!

David Schwalb

Really delicious, authentic food. Although surrounding area is touristy, this place is no tourist trap. Salad with strawberries walnuts and salmon was very tasty. Servers very friendly and helpful. There's a reason this place has been there over 100 years.

Brandon McGrew

This restaurant was an absolute gem! Must go to spot if you're in Nashville and want a reasonably priced dinner and drink. I highly recommend the flank steak or the salmon BLT. The service was impeccable and on point. The servers worked together as a team to make sure all of our needs were met!

Pat Magsaysay

Good food and great staff!

JC McKay

From the time we arrived until the time we left, the experience was top notch. The servers and managers were personable and the food was delicious! Old school environment. Awesome place to go!

Bryant

Great team. Very knowledgeable bertending staff. Food is very good. Great vibe and atmosphere. On Broadway? Must visit!

Sloan Jones

Came here for my birthday and the staff gave us a free cobbler, made & signed a card. Service was above and beyond.

clyde dixon clydedixon@hotmail.com

Good. Got there early 2nd floor was peaceful.

Vince Raneri

Food was not good.. Had to continually keep requesting things. Total waste of money on OVER-PRICED food that isn’t even good for you. NEVER AGAIN!

Dana A

Good food. The steak was good and correctly cooked. The soup was also pretty good. The service was good & fast. We were greeted with a smile & given advice on the menu. The ambiance of the place is on the classier side, towards the upper medium scale restaurants. The prices are also above average.

Cheryl Foster

Have been to this place twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Never ate upstairs. Always wanted the casual environment of the downstairs area. Food is amazing as is the staff!

Sheri Anne

Food was good. Atmosphere is awesome. Live bands are great! I would recommend

Vickie Stephens

Very nice restaurant in Downtown. Good service and upscale restaurant.

Kevin Salisbury

We walked in to the bistro area on the first floor and we're promptly served by helpful staff. High quality entree's, fast service with a nice atmosphere. Reasonable prices for the quality and area.

Kelley B

Service was fast and friendly and the duck fat tater tots were so good we ordered a second helping! Super cute atmosphere in the perfect spot.

Abigail Miller

Food was delicious!! Love the tots and pimento cheese app. Our waitress Mandy was so nice and very helpful! Definitely a new favorite Nashville spot!

Chris Butler

My wife and I stopped in here one night we happened to be out on the town. There was a wait but we found a place at the bar almost immediately. The food came out quick and the service was good. The Salmon was superb. We would definitely go back to try more, even though the menu is fairly small.

ashish mahabal

Great place in downtown Nashville. Music is blasting everywhere outside. Here too you can hear it if you want to, but it's quieter. Upstairs is better and not any costlier. Oldest free standing building around. Had the three course meal and it was great. Having had a lovely window to people watch was even better.

Mike and Marian Kleinman

We adore steakhouses. This was amazing steak. Best EVER! Atmosphere is more casual than most, even upstairs where it is more upscale than downstairs. Waitstaff was superb. A definite return place.

Clay Davis

Great restaurant! The layout and vibe is very relaxed. Staff is very professional, provide great service. Menu is very limited and food a bit disappointing. We had a great night, but would suggest they take more risks with the menu.

NALED Signs

Great food and service. Very busy location, reservations would be suggested. We had a drink at the bar, while we waited for our table.

Kristy Merriam

Can't go wrong with Merchants. Upstairs steakhouse is wonderful and the atmosphere downstairs is great too. Love that they serve popcorn at the bar to munch on.

Michael Williams

The chicken and waffles were amazing! Highly recommended. Great food and service.

William Kyle Bolton

An oasis of fine dining right on Broadway. Enjoy diner style & bar service downstairs, or treat yourself to some delicious oysters and steakhouse fare in the upstairs dining room. One of my Nashville faves!

Travis Harris

Expected awesome, kinda got meh. The staff attention to detail was great. The food was sorry to say okay.

Claudia Hoang

Good restaurant for American food. Service was great here. Make reservations ahead of time- restaurants on Broadway are usually very busy for dinner.

Robert Weipert

Lively place. Good views. Nice staff

J. Maintz

Love this place, and go as often as we're in town. Great food, excellent service. Try them!

David Cudmore

At Broadway and 4th, this is smack in the middle of the bar and band scene. Merchants is an - almost - quiet spot for a meal. Four of us chose to sit upstairs for dinner, where we could talk easier. A larger menu for dinner was available, and the setting was much more comfortable. Carrie led us through the menu, unerringly, and we had perfect steaks and salmon. Appetizers were scrumptious too. Thanks for a great evening Carrie!

Richard A

Kenichi & David are fun bartenders whhelp to make your meal here the best it can be. The drinks are very good and the Bistro food is great. My wife had the soup & sandwich which was very good & I had the salmon blt which was excellent. The well done fries were grow t and the chips were very good too. Tbmusic at thbar was great. Prices were reasonable and we had a great time having dinner at Merchants

JULIA BELL

Awesome atmosphere, great service, excellent food.

Amy Zaragoza

Great food, excellent service!

John Mutz

Great. Walked on and were offered a 45 minute wait or a seat at the bar of one was open. My wife and I found seats and were promptly greeted by a bartender who took our drink, appetizer and dinner orders. We shared a delicious plate of fried green tomatoes and Mac and cheese. Couldn't have been more pleased.

K Lashley

This was a stop on a food tour. Very nice place and very welcoming. The place is haunted and great history. A great stop and would encourage others to go.

Chris Clarke

Great place. Right in the middle of the craziness of Broadway, this is a nice gem. It’s one of the quieter places on Broadway. We ate on the first floor - in the bistro. We had one of the specials - Nashville hot chicken and waffles - it was excellent! The steak salad was really good, the fried green tomatoes were awesome, tater tots were delicious. The Mac and cheese was ok, not great. Overall, a great experience.

Eric Foreman

My wife and I went to the upstairs restaurant and it was outstanding. My wife had a Cesar salad and fillet. I had the lobster roll and prime rib. All was excellent. The lobster rolls surprised me with a different twist but excellent. The prime rib was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. My waitress pick a white wine for the lobster roll and a red St Emilion wine for the prime rib. Excellent restaurant

Natalie Johnson

Some food was great, prime rib was mediocre. Prices are high. Service was good, as far as waitress attitude and curiosity but things were delayed ( Saturday nite and crazy busy) Reservations are taken at the door and was an hour to hour and a half. They will call you in cellphone and you can go to bars around town. We were compensated for the delay of food with deserts and meal discount or taken off menu. The delays I'm sure was due to the crowds. Our server was very gracious, manager personally talked to us and offered the compensation. I would recommend the steaks, fantastic. Very good win selection. The place is upscale, fine dining. Place is clean, nicely decorated, bathrooms clean. There are elevators to take you upstairs. I would go again but when things weren't as crazy. Nashville is like Spring Break on steroids

Mark Malone

Xavier gator tots! Yum yum! Great food great service!

Scott DeFord

Danny waited on us after the SEC Tourney, an was awesome. Couldn't have been better. Food was great . I had the pork chop, with lobster roll. Brother had the lamb an also loved it. It was so much he took 1/2 home. Atmosphere was laid back with a little class.

Peggy Fronckowiak

Very good lunch. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. It was crowded and wait was supposed to be 20 minutes. Waited less than 10. Haley our server was pleasant and efficient. We had rotisserie chicken (moist and flavorful) and jambalaya ( little spicy but delicious.) Also had side of cornbread...excellent! Food was delivered hot and with only a short wait. Told several friends to give it a try while they are in town. Nice place.

Curtis Hubner

This place has a really modern vibe stuck right in the middle of Nashville. The Chili and Cornbread are some of the best Ive ever had and the Manhattans will leave you wobbling. I would highly recommend trying this place out.

Francine Culley

Beyond wonderful ❤️. Go to the 2nd floor for that romantic experience and a better menu. Lamb chops are freaking amaaaaaazing. Service is exquisite.

Randy Bensey

Best service I have ever had...hands down!

chris lopez

This place is somewhere you must eat at in Nashville. The food and the service are the best.

Keith Hodge

We loved this restaurant! Maybe it was because we were sat at the corner overlooking the city's activities. The service was excellent and the food was very good also. Ask the server what's popular and what they'd recommend. We had a great time (because of our table, the server and manager, constant entertainment). We'll be back!

Brian Byrd

Great private event space on 3rd floor. Delicious food and attentive service! Thanks to Alexis, Adrian & Co.!

Luanne Mikolajczyk

Very good smoked wings!

Cynthia Cleary

Never eaten at a place this fancy with one waiter for every 3-4 people it seemed like. Really good drinks. My dry aged steak was alright, but I'm from Nebraska so it's hard to beat the beef I get at home.

Jazmine Johnson

Amazing service! We were particularly impressed with the side dishes. We had some of the mushrooms and people at the table who normally won’t eat them simply demolished them. Upstairs was perfect for a business meeting. Downstairs would be lovely for a slightly more casual date or a family night. Bit louder downstairs.

Yvonne Alley

Great atmosphere, music excellent, they take requests for money. Nachos were so worth the price and 3_4 people could easily share!

Bruno Moreira

Best ribeye steak ever Amazing taste MUST GO

Carlos Tobon

The menu have good options, the Jambalaya was good. They also have good beers.

Debra Sheridan

I've enjoyed many a good meal at this establishment over the years, and have brought people here with me. Today, I don't know what is wrong. The staff is annoyed, and eager to display their annoyance. I'm sorry it's hot out, it's Saturday, Summer NAMM is in its third day, and I showed up. Dang!!

Sandy F

Great food, nice restrooms for downtown, love the Peanutbutter Milk Stout. The waitress had an awesome sense of humor, so did the bartender

Tom Koty

Food was good, but came out haphazardly. Steak (missing the sauce), sides way after steak, had to ask for coffee. Very disjointed service. As a large group, I'd expect the manager to, at the very least, stop in at some point and ask how everything was. Nope. And he was just outside the room. Overall - good food, poor service.

Cari Fuqua-Eaton

Seated very quickly after arriving in a corner booth and was able to people watch while eating. I had soup and Sammi. It was very tasty.

Sandy Teall

This was a stop on our food tour where we sampled appetizers. The tater tots were as good as their reputation. All the staff was very friendly. Not recommended for vegans.

Jeanne Ponder

Ask to be seated upstairs in the beautiful dining room with a slightly different menu. We had a window table to watch all the activity on the street below. The food was delicious. Highly recommended for quieter dining on Broadway.

Andrew Melikidse

Stopped in for a bite and a drink and loved it. House crafted drinks were great. Johnny Cash’s chili and a salad hit the spot. Excellent service and great ambiance. Going back tomorrow!

John Zeman

Great service. Nice atmosphere. Great food.

Sherry Carroll

Great Staff, especially Jenna one of the bartenders.

Mel Thompson

Great place! It was like walking into a different world from the Broadway energy! Beautifully comfortable with top notch service and menu choices!

Ziomara Young

This was my favorite meal while visiting Nashville for the first time. Perfect location, clean bathrooms, great atmosphere and amazing food. The cheeseburger and sweet potato fries exceeded my expectations. The manager, Jonathan was very attentive and made our experience memorable. I will definitely go back to dine at Merchants all the way from Texas!

Dan Mathers

Good food and EXEMPLARY SERVICE. My wife and I enjoyed dining upstairs last night during a deluge. I inquired of my waiter where we might buy an umbrella downtown. He said he eould check. At the end of the meal he gave a new umbrella to us. Best service I ever had. Thank you ADRIAN SPERKA and staff.

Linda Low

Fabulous food! Loved the shrimp and crab salad...the best dressed salad!!

Jason Ward

Excellent! (but she ain't cheap). Server was charming but didn't hover. And a hostess was a gracious host indeed. A true delight next time I want a splurge.

Mitzi Garman

LOVE this place!! Every single staff member that we came in contact with went out of his/her way to welcome us! Two different managers checked on us..Ryan and Adrian. They were so involved with every aspect. Our sweet hostess was from Idaho but her name escapes me. Mandy was our server and though she was busy, always had a smile . The food was FANTASTIC! I had the grilled chicken sandwich and my daughter had the pulled pork Mac ‘n cheese. We WILL go back when we return in two weeks!

Heidi-Lyn Tatterfield

Fun bar with different levels and live bands

Susan Ringgenberg

Great place to get away while Downtown.

Tyler McIntyre

Great food, great drinks, fantastic view of downtown Nashville perfect for people watching. Can't forget about the fantastic, super friendly service who gave us plenty of local tips for places to see and go, even the best record stores to visit. I'll be going back next time I'm in town. Did I mention the amazing food and drinks?

Carrie Mess

Really good food in the bistro part. Reservations are probably a good idea on weekends.

Sarah Charbonneau

Supet sweet waitress and hostesses. Perfect sweet tea, delicious herb dusted popcorn, melt in your mouth cornbread crusted fried green tomatoes, homemade pimento cheese, this place is a must try! Perfect air conditioned reprieve from the strip.

Karl Heeter

First stop in Nashville. Around noon. Great attitude and food was terrific. Split the waffle, egg, bacon, and tater tots. More than enough for two. Oh yeah, I forgot the buffalo chicken strips. Great wait staff and manager. I definitely recommend the first floor for value and quality.

Mark Lack

What a cool place! Service is........ excellent! Super friendly and attentive staff. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was hopping! We sat at the bar and got chatting to our neighbours, they were super nice locals. We were shocked to find out they paid our bill for us! I just love the hospitality of the south. Thank you Brent very kind of you! I got my shoes shined while I had dinner by the famous Charles who did an amazing job! They also serve so really good local beers and I love restaurants who support local breweries!

S Carman

Great bar staff. Can eat at bar quickly and appetizers were tasty. Tater tots were especially good!

MKB

All good. The vibe. The staff. The food. Especially the popcorn. Go here when in 615.

Indy Soto

Very quaint, adorable southern ambiance. My friend and I just went for a night cap and dessert. We had the rum Blondie and and glasses of pinot gris. We were upset because we should've came here for dinner as well! Exceptionally great service, and relaxed setting. Absolutely love this place.

Christopher Butler

Cool environment, good food, excellent wine and liquor selection. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. When asked, we mentioned to the hostess that we were in town for my wife's birthday. After that, everyone who spoke to us told her "Happy Birthday," including a manager who came over just for that reason.

Cassie Garman

We had the BEST time!!! Love this place and our server Mandy was sooo great!!! We will come back and request her every time! The manager Jonathan was also so helpful and made our experience even better! Thanks Merchants!!!

Jim Schneider

Decent food and a lovely atmosphere. Well located along Broadway, cool building. But, in this price range there are better steaks and seafood around.

Kenton Binkholder

My wife and I ate here for our anniversary supper. It was highly recommended by a friend and we had a wonderful time. When we arrived they had a card wishing us a happy anniversary with signatures and notes from the staff. Our waitress, Samantha, was really nice and made perfect recommendations!

Skyelar Whiddon

Thanks to Katie or hostess, we had the best time of our lives! Wow! Being in Nashville for a few days made this night PERFECT! Along with our waiter Casey! He was absolutely stellar!

Rose Duffey

Nice step out of the hustle and bustle of the busy street to a quieter and more laid back atmosphere. The decor made you feel like you were transferred to a more relaxing upscale time. The waitress was friendly and accommodating to even the smallest request. Our food delicious and was quickly devoured.

Emily Willis

Amazing food! You have to try the salmon sandwich! Plus the drinks are delicious and well priced for the Nashville area! The vibe is great: relaxed yet sophisticated and classy! Great spot for dinner before hitting the bars on Broadway.

Great selection of food. Had their signature old fashioned and was not a fan. Replaced with a regular old fashioned and it was made right. I ordered the Mac and cheese with chicken. Pretty rich with cream which made it heavy but a little too rich for my liking. Fried tomatoes where pretty great with the order of tots as well we're great apps for our table. Highly recommend for dinner

Nice quiet place on Broadway. We ate upstairs in a sedate environment. Casey A., our server was great. Quick courteous service. Let us stay through a downpour. We'll be back!

Dinner was tasty. Friendly staff. Did have to wait for refills on tea. Was not offered a refill on coffee. Lemon Tart was not as expected. Seemed like or was pulled out of the refrigerator and put on a plate. Seemed old. Crust was tough not crisp and flaky. Not worth the calories.

Great staff. Everyone so friendly. Good food and drink. Loved the Johnny Cash Chili.

Located right on a corner of Broadway, great energy and location. Was expecting a more classic experience with a little more refinement. It was a little hectic and crowded. With the toughness of getting a reservation, I was expecting an amazing experience. The service was attentive but it was hard for our waiter to hear because it was so loud. The food was so so, again, with the tough reservation, I was expecting something big.

Came for the Mac & Cheese with pulled pork based upon reviews. It didn’t disappoint. Wings were great. Stuffed!

Nice old fashioned atmosphere, good drinks, when you need a break from the honky tonks

We went there with a party of 9. They said it was going to be a hour weight, which was fine because we didn't have a reservation. An hour and a half later they said if we wanted to be seated soon we would have to be split up to two tables nowhere near each other. If we wanted to do that we would have been able to eat and hour earlier. So for all of that they comped us a order of tater tots.
