    Restaurant decor is more like an upscale diner so alittle surprised when we walked in. Limited menu but they offered a restaurant week special so thought we would try the 3 course meal offered. The onion bisque was delicious with bonus crab meat. The beet carpaccio salad also very good. Main course was strip steak and it was tender but alittle fatty. The potato underneath was tasty but the whole dish was not very hot and saltier than I like. Dessert was an individual chocolate cake and it was overdone or baked days prior. It would have been better warmed. Biggest disappointment was the wine list. I’m not a wine snob but No brands are listed and they are basic house wines priced at about $14 a glass. Husband wasn’t impressed so ordered a gin and tonic which first came mixed with club soda instead. Would go back for brunch but probably not dinner as there are many other options that are better.

    It’s a very small space and very loud. At 12pm there was a large party, maybe 15-20. With the space being so small, it’s really hard to have conversations when it’s packed. But by 115, the place really quiets down, much more if a chill/comfortable space.

    I am an Executive Chef at a Steakhouse here in Nashville and I was really excited to try Tenn. We started with the Pimento Cheese appetizer and the cooks had left it in the oven to long causing the cheese to break causing it just to be a pool of oil. Me and my significant other both ordered the Pork Chop, excited about the way it sounded, but the Jam on top was very over powering, the pork chop was dry and the collards just tasted like black pepper, there was no other flavor. We wanted to order dessert because we had some time to kill and I really wanted to give Tenn a full shot, but after only checking on us once when we were the only customers in the dining the server brought the check over without asking if we needed anything else. Was definitely let down and disappointed at this experience.

    The food was absolutely delicious but had a few hiccups. We ordered the biscuit trio as an app and it was received with the meal, it was cold by the time we tried it. There was a mix up on 3 of the items we ordered and the drinks were forgotten. But once the food was fix it was actually great. Definitely give it a try. Maybe the waitress was having an off day, but it honestly wasn’t that big of a deal.

    Not only was our order not correct, the food was just not good. Several tables around us sent their food back for either quality or not being delivered the right order. The wait staff seemed very unfamiliar with the menu. It was very disappointing because we booked it based on reviews. The manager was very responsive and very quickly tried to alleviate the issues. Having said that, I would never book there again when there are so many nearby options that are far better, especially in that price point.

    We booked this, as it was advertised as a New Year's Day brunch experience, but it wasn't a brunch experience, just their normal dining with an expanded drink menu. Our server was very slow and rarely visited our table. Another server stepped up and took our food order, and apologized for the other server lack of attention. For our food, we had the biscuits with chocolate gravy and the breakfast burrito. The biscuits were good, the gravy has a chocolate Nutella taste to it. The breakfast burrito was good, came out hot, but the potatoes were room temperature, and not just on our meal. We provided feedback to the Manager about the service and food temperature, and she apologized and handled the situation from a customer service approach, which was appreciated. I probably won't go back to TENN next time I'm back in Nashville.

    The restaurant leaves little to be desired. The website is deceptive as it portrays a much bigger space and high end menu. It’s actually a diner with limited food selections and high end prices. It was extremely cold outside and they sat us by the door. We had to eat with our coats on the entire time. We asked to be moved, as we had reservations, but they wouldn’t/couldn’t accommodate. The food was subpar and the service was just ok. Will not return.

    Not sure why we were paying $30 per person just to be in the Xmas bar...not that special - had 2 of the shareables - how can anyone mess up baked brie? Not warm, seemed like strips of cheese and the 3 pieces of bread with it were stale. Had the duck meatballs which sounded amazing, but were not. Cocktails were ok. A much disappointing experience for our Xmas Eve outing. We called to see what we were getting for our table of 4 at $120 just to be in the bar before making the reservation and feel it was false advertising about the music - really... an old guy singing to tracks is not really what I expected for the Rat Pack live music experience at that rate. How this rated top 10 pop up Xmas bars in Nashville in some of the magazine reviews is beyond me - the writer must not have been there and went from a press release which sounded great.

    One of downtown Nashville's true hidden gems. The brunch/lunch menu is an appropriate mix of breakfast and lunch. Technical competence is to often absent from Nashville restaurant kitchens these days, and everything we ate was executed flawlessly. Service is warm and attentive without being overbearing or fussy.

    The Santa experience was cute, however the food was severely lacking for a "tea". No tea sandwiches, only 2 tiny cubes of dry bread with almond butter and fluffernutter. The mac and cheese and hot chocolate were both barely warm, though the children appreciated the extra marshmallows and whipped cream. The savory scones were tiny but tasty and the reindeer bark was very good. Overall though, it was not worth the money and I would not repeat the experience.

    I was a little disappointed to spend $30 per ticket for the Bar Tenn holiday experience only to receive mediocre service and a small glass of champagne. I thought it’d be more lively and decorated. The entertainment was great though! The performer could really sing.
