Restaurants near Poole Knobs Recreation Area

We dined here before going to the Ryman. We are from out of town and the Gray Line guide recommended it. Food was tasty and service was smooth and professional. The location was just enough off Broadway to avoid some of the crowds. We’ll dine there again when we visit Nashville.

The service was incredible as was the food. We started out with the garlic bread and melted parm and I am still dreaming of that melted parm. We also got the potato croquettes, stuffed mushrooms, radiatori vodka, Creste al ragu and chicken parm. It was plenty to split between two people. We could have easily got one less dish but it was a special occasion. The radiatori vodka was my favorite main dish. All the staff were so attentive and made our experience so special. We will definitely be back.

Second year in a row going to Geist for festive cocktails and food. Definitely now a holiday season tradition, we wouldn’t miss it for the world! Everything was perfect, from cocktails to our meal, to the stellar live music (that was a PERFECT volume).

Amazing dinner with exceptional food and great service. We had several smaller plates (tuna crispy rice, hamachi crudo, lobster bao, salmon carpaccio and more) in addition to the Tomahawk rib eye. While I personally enjoyed the tuna crispy rice and salmon carpaccio the most, it was all fabulous. Our sever, Natasha was so accommodating and friendly. Also, for a “hot” Nashville restaurant, I found the meal a good price point - not nearly as high as some trendy places with not as good of food. Go - and make reservations far ahead of time.

I don’t believe that making a reservation here means you actually have a reservation. Somehow by a miracle a large table walked out due to slow service and we were able to snatch their table for our group. The food was good and the outdoor area is great for kids. Hope they get more help and can make it.
