    We stumbled on this when trying to find a place open on a Monday. The food was amazing and the service was great (we had multiple people waiting on us, which was kind of confusing. We made a last minute reservation (5:30pm). We tried for later, but it it aid it was booked However, when we left after 7pm, half the restaurant was still empty. When we got there, the hostess argued with us about whether or not we had a reservation. I made it on open table so went to pick show her on my phone and she said, "oh, I found it." She never said, "sorry that I did not find it right away, " especially when at 5:30 half the place had no one sitting at the tables.

    Food was good but as a vegetarian there weren’t many options. I ended up just getting a side salad and a side dish. My husband said the pork sirloin was very good with great flavor. The best part of the dinner was our excellent server, Brenna. She was friendly, polite and professional.

    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!
