    This was my first time at Geist and it is a must see and experience especially during Christmas time . The service by our waiter, Paine, was attentive and responsive. The food for brunch was diverse and delicious. We were seared next to a lovely fireplace in the champagne garden and it was warm and cozy. Gotta go to Geist!

    Xmas decor was over the top in a very good way! We had been told the food wasn’t just “so so”, but everything we had was fabulous! The bread is to die for FYI

    The Fall Salad was delicious, with a light dressing that was the perfect complement. The beef tenderloin was tender and flavorful - one of our favorite steaks in Nashville! 10/10! Our waiter was newer to the staff, but he was knowledgeable and very attentive. And the Christmas decorations were amazing!!

    My party all agreed it was one of our best meals. Everything just came out perfect. Salmon, tenderloin, and risotto entrees were fabulous. The patio/garden decorated for Christmas was festive. We had John as our server and he was so lovely, bright, and enthusiastic. This was my first time but I strongly recommend and will return myself!

    EXCEPTIONAL!! Best steak I've ever had! Do not pass on the cheese charcuterie board. The duck was fabulous! The lamb most exquisite! The salmon did not disappoint. Best Old Fashion, very smooth! Pricey but definitely a bucket list location, especially when it's all decorated for Christmas! Special occasion destination - anniversary, graduation, family visiting for holidays, etc. Our waiter, Paine, was the best! Very knowledgeable with amazing recommendations. I'm also most appreciative of the lady with Open Table that helped me change our reservation 3 times! :)
