Restaurants near Gardenia Park

The food was great if a little seafood heavy. I didn’t realize beforehand that is was a seafood restaurant. I had the avocado corn pizza and it was so good. My daughter had the chicken sandwich. She enjoyed very much. Service was professional and responsive.

My wife and I both ordered pork chops for our lunch entrées. I am not one who usually orders pork chops at a steakhouse, but I must say this was perhaps the best pork chop I have ever eaten. Wonderful flavor and about 3 inches thick. Outstanding. The fried asparagus tips were also outstanding. Cheesecake with white chocolate topping was also exceptional. One thing that did take us aback when our check arrived was the house red wine that we ordered cost more than our entrées! $25 for a 7 ounce glass of wine? I’m sorry, but that is just out and out price gouging. We could buy a whole bottle of modest wine for $25. Again the meal was great as usual, but had we known that two glasses of house wine would cost $50 there’s no way we would have ordered that. We will know better next time.

We were greeted by a cheerful and courteous host team that quickly escorted us to our table. The table was amazing a semi-circle booth facing the bar. I highly recommend this table if you are an appreciator of great piano bar music. Our waiter was amazing and connected with all of the guests at our table quickly. He explained all the specials a little history about some of the drinks on the menu, including the famous Brittney drink, and then proceeded to make some of his personal recommendations. I highly recommend any of the seafood or sushi selections as they have been the best we have found in town. The manager came by several times to check on us and ask if we needed anything else. Overall, the experience was excellent and we always highly recommend this restaurant on our travels through Nashville. I would recommend making reservations well in advance and if you like, live music, make sure to request an area by the bar.

Making reservations for a time we wanted was easy. Everything we ordered was great! We started with an expresso martini and a local beer and pretzels with the cheese fondue. Then dinner was the short ribs with potatoes au gratin with the mac and cheese. Dessert was the bread pudding and the molten lava butter cake with toffee bits. Yes, we ordered two desserts because we couldn’t decide.

Good food and a fantastic experience. Highly recommended.
