   Located in downtown Nashville, Deacon’s New South offers a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. From the start, the service was exceptional—attentive, professional, and eager to ensure we had a great experience. We began with delicious cornbread and an inventive charcuterie board. While the board wasn’t traditional, it offered bold, interesting flavors that made for a fun start to the meal. For the main course, I chose the petite filet, which was cooked perfectly—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My dining companion selected the prime rib, but it was underwhelming. While tender, it lacked the depth and seasoning needed to elevate it, and a better brine would have helped. Another group member had the wedge salad with steak, which she found absolutely delicious—the steak was flavorful and paired beautifully with the crisp salad. One of us also opted for a chicken dish, but it didn’t stand out. While well-seasoned, it lacked the richness of the other dishes, making it the least memorable part of the meal. The ambiance at Deacon’s is upscale yet comfortable, with soft lighting and an open kitchen. Overall, the service, cornbread, and filet were highlights, while the prime rib and chicken left something to be desired. Deacon’s is definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re a steak lover. I’ll be back, but next time I’ll stick with the filet and try the wedge salad with steak!

   One of the best filets we've had, 50/50 potatoes were delicious, and triple chocolate mousse cake melts in your mouth!

   We weee say next to a large party and the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation at our table. The manager addressed it, but it was not an enjoyable experience. 2 of the steaks ordered were over cooked.

   Very good food! We had a table right next to the glass, where we were able to launch all the chefs, which was fascinating. Very much enjoyed our self. We did order the cornbread and we weren’t fans of it. To us it was very dry and overcooked, but I don’t know if that’s the way that it’s supposed to be there or not. Other than that everything was very good.

   Our service was great. Felt the food was just okay when considering no the price point. The meal lacked seasoning.

    Service was amazing from the time we walked in til we left. Food was fantastic. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had exactly what we needed. And the chef and the manager both came to our table to check on us and make sure our steaks were cooked to perfection. And they were! Great experience! Nice job everyone! Will definitely be back!! Thank you!
