   We dine at a very nice restaurant in Nashville every year for our anniversary. We have dined at over 500 local restaurants over the last 20+ years. The food, service and atmosphere was nice but not at all personable. Food was good and it should be at this price level. A $100+ steak should be exceptional without question. I identified this as our 25th anniversary when reserving and it was barely acknowledged in passing by the waitress. The experience was disappointing. There are much better restaurants for your special occasion. The Optimist, Iberian Pig, Skulls Rainbow Room, NoKo etc are much better options.

   Food was actually really good. I particularly enjoyed the pumpkin tortelloni and the octopus carpaccio. Service was a little strange. Our server kept telling us not to get what we chose from the meñu and would recommend something else instead. But I guess he was right because in the end, our food choices were delicious!

   The steak was ok but not worth $100 Double baked potato came out at room temperature and I sent it back The bread was the rockstar, delicious

   Had a reservation only to find out it really doesn’t matter we would have to wait 45 min, I don’t understand why. The hostess response was sorry, no manager nothing. Food: tomahawk steak was awesome, best ever. Appetizers were ok, just not impressive. Overall just not impressive for the money or the experience. Compared to other places like Harpers does not even come close to same experience. From beginning to end Harpers was the complete package…Carne Mare is just “ok”, we will not return as there are many other places to spend that kind of money.

   Terrible food quality for the price. Espresso martini was so bad it had to be sent back. Not a thing we ordered was worth the cost.

   Very good sexy vibe. Food and service was really good but for price point - it felt it wasn’t that out of the world amazing.

    Our server, Ray, was spectacular - if six stars was an option, that is what we would choose. The food was great! The Farmer's tableside salad was a great start after appetizers - we had the tuna and it was exceptional. Another member of our party had crab legs which were deemed very good. The halibut entree was even better - you don't often see halibut steak but that is what they serve and it was fabulous. and the lamb chops were some of the best in town. And the rolls - don't pass on them. So good. We also ordered the honeynut squash and the potatoes. Both were excellent sides. The sommelier was knowledgeable and recommended the perfect wine to accompany our meal choices. The apple dessert was a winner! Sadly, the menu option for one of the fish dishes and what was offered were very different - a salt crusted black bass, which is what two of our party wanted, was not available and being replaced with red snapper. However, we were not told that the presentation would change. The snapper was a good, but unappealing-looking piece of fish, served skin side up on a very large, otherwise empty plate - and the skin was not crisped. Even adding the citrusy sauce didn't change it's plate appeal. When you are anticipating a dish you don't usually make at home (salt-crusted fish) and get an anemic-looking piece of snapper, it was a bit of a let down. We enjoyed our experience and will be back.
