Restaurants near Texas Troubadour Theatre

We have been planning to come here for a while. It was still brunch time and their menu has great choices. The manager Nick went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable and gave us the hometown feel which is amiss in a lot of the steakhouses and by far the best service and food we have had in a long time. Service always stands out and brings back patrons time after time. Cudos to Harper’s for hiring such an amazing representative that stands out in customer service and humility. Thank you for coming to Nashville. We will definitely be back again and please ask for Beau who is also an asset to this restaurant. How sweet it is to see smiling faces from all of the employees. We will be back with our friends.

We enjoyed Pelato. We took out 10-year-old so it was great being able to order tapa sized portions so we could all try lots of different things.

The booths were a tad bit annoying with the movement of the people behind me but the overall experience was awesome! Servers took really good care of us, fast and nice. Good portion sizes for food. We got the feta tzatziki dip, short rib, wedge with steak and a few cocktails. 

Making reservations for a time we wanted was easy. Everything we ordered was great! We started with an expresso martini and a local beer and pretzels with the cheese fondue. Then dinner was the short ribs with potatoes au gratin with the mac and cheese. Dessert was the bread pudding and the molten lava butter cake with toffee bits. Yes, we ordered two desserts because we couldn’t decide.

Our server, (forgot his name, but a tall and polite gentleman), took great care of us and brought us a free dessert and savory dish, as we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday and our five year anniversary. Something I enjoyed about him too, is he was informative, guided us through how the menu works, but was not overbearing in his delivery or presence at the table. I’ve been to so many places where you can tell the server is being a bit performative and will drown you in details instead of reading the room and giving people time to process lol. What really stood out as well, was the fact that every staff member we interacted with, (the host, server, and THREE other employees on the floor), all knew we were celebrating and made a point to congratulate us. You could tell they pay attention to special details here. My partner and I are both in the service industry (fine dining), so we notice the small stuff and had no complaints! Even our water glasses never dropped below 3/4ths full. Also worth noting — the value you get for the delicious food, great ambience, and service is WELL worth the price. A wonderful dining experience without breaking the bank. Would highly recommend this place 👍🏻
