    My husband and I arrived in Nashville on a Sunday afternoon and headed straight to Eddie V's because A.I. literally directed us there based upon our eating preferences. We dined at the bar and found the menu to be incredible, from the Tataki and oysters on the half-shell for starters, to the tenter ribeye and scrumptious scallops, to crème brule to finish it off! of note, the spicy margaritas were very satisfying, and the Austin Hope Cab was the perfect finish. we spent about $150 per person, but our tastebuds were totally content, more so than usual!

    Etch has to be my wife and I’s absolute FAVORITE food spot in Nashville. Always an incredible experience with the best meals, easy. Our waitress, Sandra, was perfectly attentive and gave us plenty of time, space to enjoy while always being available to provide information and recommendations when asked. She was great. The entrees were second to none. I did the “from the sea” special, it was the Salmon. It was insanely good, incredible flavors and perfect pairings. My wife got the Filet Mignon and was raving about the meat and potatoes. We started with the Smoked Carpaccio which might be our favorite dish in Nashville. Such a good app. 10/10 experience, always.

    This place is a very special dining experience. Nowhere can you find a spot with live jazz and mellow music in the middle of the dining room. This type of thing seems like a bygone era but not at the Scull. Stepping inside is like entering an alternate universe with old brick walls, creaking wood floors and upscale dining in an environment that is unique and beyond explanation. The menu offers many options, and pricing is high, but you are paying for an experience and atmosphere that is priceless. We made a reservation and visited the week before Christmas so the musical entertainers played a variety of holiday songs along with old world favorites from the likes of Frand Sinatra to Johnny Cash. I can't say enough good things about this place other than to say you must go and see for yourself.

    Enjoyed the Peloached Pear. Australian Wagyu was delicious and totally worth the price difference from the filet (which my daughter got so we could compare). Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. Chocolate cake isn't too sweet / rich; a good balance. Definitely want to come back to try more items. Cocktails looked great. Music was nice, and the service was great as well.
