Restaurants near Hilton Garden Inn Nashville Downtown/Convention Center

Love everything about this restaurant! The food is immaculate, the service is wonderful, and the place has a really good energy to it. We love coming to this restaurant because we know the food is consistently delicious- it’s hard NOT to get almost all of the appetizers!🤣 Highly recommend!

Etch is our favorite restaurant in Nashville. It is consistently wonderful - food and service. Nashville restaurants come and go but thankfully Etch is here. Our server last night, Joseph, was great. We also love Lisa. We have always had great servers and bartenders. Etch is our recommendation if anyone asks where they should eat in Nashville.

We had a drink down stairs and listened to live music before heading up to the 2nd floor to dine. We had a beautiful view of the Cumberland walk bridge and drive bridge. The menu had a variety of selections and the prices were very reasonable . We nibbled on the truffle fries, split the Caesar salad and then ordered our entrees. He had the gf pizza and I ordered the skirt steak. All of the food was well seasoned and came out hot. We were very pleased with our meal and experience. We will definitely come back!

Harper's was an absolute homerun. I needed a spot to host a business dinner prior to a night at the Nashville Symphony. Some of my usual go-to restaurants were already booked. Thanks to OpenTable, I found Harper's and saw some great reviews. It was a great experience. We were a party of six and were sat in a perfect, cozy half-circle booth with a view out over the rest of the restaurant. It was a busy night and there was a great buzz through the dining room. Our server, Sydney, did a great job. We followed most of her recommendations and all of them were spot on. We ordered a variety of cocktails but the star of the show was the Birds of Paradise - a play on a Mai Tai. It came out a tiki mug in the shape of a parrot and it tasted great. We ordered several apps to get started: Bang Bang Rock Shrimp, Grilled Slab Bacon, and Beef Wellington Potstickers. All were very tasty and was just enough to serve our party of six. There is a great selection of entrees but we all went with a cut of meat. I had the elk tenderloin by Sydney's recommendation. It was fantastic and a good portion. Two of our guests had the 10oz filet and were very happy with them. The other 3 guests split the 30oz bone-in filet chateaubriand off the large format cut menu which included a table presentation. It was the star of the show and was more than enough for two big guys and a diminutive young woman. The sides were stellar. By far our faves were the crispy brussel sprouts and the bruleed cream corn. The au gratin potatoes were also very good. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for dessert but saw some very great looking sweet plates going out to other tables. Will definitely save time for dessert next time. Service from the host station, bartenders, and our table servers was top notch. Harper's has definitely moved up to the top of my list for entertaining for both business and personal outings, especially in the Downtown and SoBro area. Also, on-site parking garage was very convenient.

We are locals and dine out quite a bit in Nashville. Quickly seated in the downstairs main room. First thing we asked for was a drink menu. We were told they have experienced bartenders and could make anything we would like. While that may be true I often go for new signature drinks and was denied the opportunity. So Ketle One on the rocks was it. The calamari appetizer was excellent and the portion was nice and big. We ordered bone in Ribeye (med) and bone in Filet (med rare) and both were perfectly cooked and the best steaks hands down. Our server was Jeremy and always appeared at the right moment. He made solid recommendations and interactions were light hearted and fun- adding to a great night. Definitely will go back again. Highly recommended.
