Restaurants near Bridgestone Arena

Our server, Lisa G, was absolutely outstanding. Professional, helpful with menu selections, friendly and cheery made the evening a great outing. The food as usual was outstanding. We shared the pate appetizer which was a combination of wonderful flavors and had the venison and the salmon which were terrific. A Pavlova (great) and espresso closed a great evening. This is why (deliciously innovative dishes and great service) we return to Etch. over and over. Kudos to the team and highly recommended.

We have been here I believe 3 or 4 times prior, and have always sat downstairs where they have live music, totally by chance. This time we were sat upstairs (didn’t even know they had an upstairs 😊), and even though the food, service, etc was still just as wonderful as always, the next time we’ll ask for the downstairs because it’s more intimate and the live music is a really nice touch, in our opinion. Shout out to the servers we’ve had, Haley & Christian. Both are very professional, friendly and immediately seem like friends! Naturally personable and professionally trained! A pleasant experience every time.

We had a fun night at House of Cards. We all loved our dinner, our waiter Matthew was helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and steered us all in the right direction. The magic show had us both laughing and in awe!

Absolutely amazing dinner at the Hampton Social!! Beautiful restaurant and also great views of the city and the bridge. Service was fast and friendly. They even bought us champagne for our anniversary. As for the food - the shrimp and crab bruschetta is a must have. Oysters were delicious and the burger is one of the best we’ve ever had. For dessert, the banana foster on a chocolate chip waffle is worth every calorie. Just get it! We cannot wait to come back and try the brunch!

This is one of our “go-to” restaurants in downtown Nashville. Food is always great and normally easy to get a table. Excellent margaritas!
