We have enjoyed Sinatra’s Bar & Lounge many times for dinner, but this is the first time we were there for brunch. Truly wonderful place excellent food and service.  Jeff, on the piano, sang and played classic Sinatra tunes, making our meal even more enjoyable.  Although this is our first time for brunch, it will definitely not be our last. 

Skulls is a regular stop of our’s when we are in Nashville. We love their dedication to showcasing jazz. Start the evening listening to Jay Vern, then hang out for whoever follows! Great food, service, and a cool atmosphere make it a must for foodies and jazz lovers!

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.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Etch!! The service was top notch, the food was delicious and presented exquisitely! The server knew the food and drink menu so well! They were very accommodating to my wife's gluten free needs. The red wine from Greece was amazing!! We enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer, gluten free bread rolls, Etch salad. And for the main course we had the Port and Filet, with a side of brussels sprouts. The banana flavored ice cream was delicious, being very light on the banana flavor. I hope to return soon.

This was our 25th Anniversary dinner and it was perfect. Expensive but perfect. The waitstaff was attentive and went above and beyond for our celebration. We had the seafood tower, tuna tartare, lamb chops, crab stuffed shrimp and asparagus. Everything was cooked to perfection!! Then a complimentary dessert. We will definitely be back when we are in Nashville!!
