    Our server, Michael, was just awesome. Next time we come to dine with you, I think we will request him. The food was outstanding! We’ve always loved Sinatra for the ambience and the music, but in the past, the food was like a three out of five. However, today, I must say, the food was absolutely a 10 out of 10 for us. Keep up the good work, and outstanding service and food. We plan to return soon.

    Party of dined on 11-19-24. Was beautiful and cozy atmosphere with friendly host staff and seated promptly. Ordered shortrib potstickers which were very overcooked and had to return. Reordered them a second time and the manager (Gabby) immediately came to table and said she would personally oversee the chef prepare this time. They came back perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We ordered scallops and rotisserie chicken and both were delicious. Gabby comped us two glasses of bubbly and was very gracious. Definitely going to go back with a larger party next time. Well done and great experience.

    Ambiance, plants, food and drinks were outstanding. It was very very dark and could hardly see to walk to the bathroom or the food I was eating.

    We had brunch with the prettiest group of people in Nashville. The rooftop was comfortable and the service was friendly and attentive. The food was good and the espresso martinis were the drink of the day! Delish.
