    Wine by glass offerings limited, but wine list for wines by the bottle was adequate. Portions were huge, but quality of Sea Bass and "Blonde Bolognese:" excellent. Unique but wonderful Tera Missou.

    Loved this fun Nashville bar! Had brunch with my husband and it was so lovely. We had an excellent experience! There were several larger groups of people there and the noise level was still perfect. Our drinks and food were delicious and can't wait to go back!

    This is one of my new favorite dinner spots for a date night w/ my wife. The ambiance is great, and has lots of character. I love the history of the building and the food was terrific. We had a ricotta salad.. lamb entree, and a Tomoto based pasta dish and split it between 2 people.. good portions. The food was all very well balanced and flavorful and not over salty like most spots. Fresh food and interesting flavors that complimented each other. The service was terrific.. the kitchen prefers apps, salads, and entrees be ordered all at once.. which I actually prefered. End of the day.. we loved the experience and will be going back!

    Excellent food. Get the baked carrots! Sea bass, tenderloin, and ricotta also great. The outdoor seating looks great. (We ate inside.) The place gets a bit noisy as it fills up, and it’s definitely a younger crowd with a significant percentage of out of towners. We went on a Friday night and there was a Sounds game, so parking was pricey. Def going back.

    Lovely ambiance however the food overall not as expected, given reviews & a recommedation by a local. 4 of us dined in - drinks were lovely, our server Haley was fantastic. We ordered the pork chop, chicken & home made pasta. Pork chop was unfortunately dry/bland, but the potatoe salad side very tasty. Pasta had an unusual aftertaste per my friend, chicken and pureed side was a hit. Not sure I'd return, too many other outstanding options in town.

    Overall Geist met expectations, but did not exceed. Service was slow, salmon was overcooked, but again overall it was good. Cool place.
