- JJillVIPWashington, D.C. Area •24 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOne of my favorite dining experiences in Nashville. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. They started us off with a complimentary glass of Prosecco to toast the occasion. (Very nice and appreciated). Then we were brought an amuse bouche- which I have to say I couldn't understand the servers description. But it was lovely. We had the focaccia with ricotta and honey. It was excellent. Then we followed with the risotto - which was also excellent. My husband had the sirloin which was well prepared and tender. It came with a side of whipped potatoes. I had the acorn squash which was an unexpected highlight. We looked at the dessert menu but decided we were too full- but the server brought us the pear upside down cake as a celebratory gift- and we loved it. Service was excellent. Our water was attended to. Our drinks were delivered in a timely manner. The atmosphere was quiet- which in Music City is rare and was a welcomed respite to our other dining experiences in the city. Given all this excellence, the dinner was very reasonably priced and a good value. I highly recommend!More infoYolanPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown / Sobro•4.6
- BbrianVIPNashville •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis place never disappoints, from the young gentleman at the host stand, to the owner, to the servers, and of course, to the food. Order ANYTHING and you’ll be satisfied, but standouts are: Either of the soups, any mezze, and the Epice salad. I’ve been a customer since day one and I’ve never had anything less than a great experience!More infoEpicePrice: Moderate• Lebanese• Waverly / Melrose / Breeze Hill•4.9

- MmichaelNashville •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had a fabulous experience at Iberian pig to celebrate my daughter‘s birthday. They were actually able to accommodate some last-minute changes to our reservation, even though it was a busy night. Latoya and our server were super personable and made our experience memorable. The food was unique and delicious. We actually ordered way too much and had to take several dishes home. Latoya made our celebration special with a champagne toast, and some extra desserts to surprise us!More infoIberian Pig - NashvillePrice: Moderate• Spanish• The Gulch & North Gulch•4.9
