The menu boasts West Coast-Italian fare made with local ingredients and complements the feel of the light and airy dining room. An otherwise modern space is brought to life with pops of muted greens and tans, while a white oak communal chef’s counter is a focal point within the open-kitchen concept.

We’re staying at the Hyatt Centric and have spent several nights at the bar here and have had an amazing experience every time! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were AMAZING. So friendly and attentive. They make some amazing cocktails too and have good beer recommendations. The food is also fantastic. Highly recommend the chicken wings and the Italian cream cake!

The atmosphere is calm and beautiful, drinks and food were delicious! I had the Fancy Pants Cocktail, Braised Short rib which were so tender I was able to separate it with my fork and it was flavorful. I added the grilled broccoletti because I needed my veggeis and had the Italian Creme Cake with caramel Gelato for dessert. I enjoyed my experience! Brittany is an amazing bartender!

Great place, highly recommend. Only issue there were 3 different concerts going on which made parking difficult. That was not the restaurant’s fault, just be prepared for events in the area if driving. Now, the food was amazing! We had a party of 10 and shared the meatballs, which had that old school Italian touch, so good! Also tried the shrimp scampi which was very good, and must try the whipped house made ricotta! Must also try the braised short rib and black truffle gnocchi. All the meals were very good, those 2 were definitely the best. Tried couple different tequila cocktails, very good! We were so full from dinner, but had to try the coconut Italian cream cake. Glad we did, so good! Waitress was great ,too. Best meal we had while in Nashville!

While staying at the Hyatt Centric Downtown, I had dinner here and it was fabulous. Sarah was my server and was top notch. Chef Daniel created a crab, asparagus and sundried tomato risotto that made me want to crawl into the bowl. I finished with chocolate Budino which was decadent. Adrian made sure I was well taken care of. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating is bright and airy. Service is on point and matches the quality of the food. I ordered the Arugula and Apple Salad with Chicken and also appreciated their help finding gluten free options on the menu. Note this restaurant is within walking distance of several other hotels and offers seating for large groups.

Came in today for lunch and had an amazing experience. Warmly welcomed and seated quickly in the bright, beautiful dining room that differs so much from most of the tourist-packed downtown restaurants, especially on a Friday at noon. We started with the Whipped Ricotta which had flavorful honey, herbs, and a bit of spice, and came with delicious rustic grilled bread. We only wish we’d had a bit more bread because there were heaps of ricotta and honey on the plate.

The atmosphere is upscale and the food is delicious. Lots of thought goes into every detail including how the napkins are folded. The service was fast and friendly with everyone working as a team to ensure that the experience was good.

WOW! We had a fantastic Sunday buffet brunch! First of all we were in line for Pancake Pantry but happened to see the beautiful setting inside Ella’s from outside and decided to go here instead and SOOOOO glad we did! Much better nice comfortable classy atmosphere! First the service was top notch! Ryan our server was on it and great! The food was A—mazing!!!! Chef Alex was phenomenal. It was so good I overate! Everything we ate was delicious!!! I HIGHLY recommend this whether you’re a native and haven’t been here or visiting. Must experience their wonderful food and atmosphere. Much classier than Pancake Pantry. So glad we got out of line and stumbled upon this amazing restaurant!

Mixed feelings about this place. Had a wonderful lunch here. The food was amazing. Went for some coffee and then the tomato bisque, turkey sub and antipasto salad. The food was absolutely lovely and that in itself was 5/5. Unfortunately the lady who served us was terrible. She brought us over some water and left it for us. Not bothered to even pour it in the glass (we were the only 2 people in the restaurant). She then got inpatient with us and said “I’m still waiting” (as in to take our order). She brought all our food over at the same time despite even asking us if we wanted the soup and sub separately (which we did) So by the time we finished the soup, the fries and sub were cold and soggy. She stood around with her hands in her pockets doing nothing, chatting away while completely neglecting to take any finished plates off our table. The whole image was just terrible. It was worse than it sounds. Compared to the outstanding service in Nashville. This was disappointing and we really resented even tipping her.
