   The space was great. Roomy and open. My layered salad was fantastic. My wife ordered the peppered bacon Benedict. Her eggs weren’t poached but hard boiled. The young lady playing the guitar and singing was wonderful. July 3, 2022.

   Food was great. My daughter and I shared a burger and it was fantastic. We also ordered 2 deserts and shared those as well. They were both good. There was live music from local artists. Staff was friendly

   Went to grab a quick dinner while visiting my son on campus at Vanderbilt. I made a reservation and was seated right away. Got a burger and swapped out the fries for salad. Food was good - typical burger. Not too many people around because of the time of year.

   Central Bar and Kitchen was a great pick for brunch! Both my husband and I felt our portions were appropriate for the price we paid and they were delicious as well! We will definitely return on our next trip to Nashville!

   Though it isn’t a typical in-hotel restaurant (no Marriott burger), it certainly isn’t worthy of being a standalone entity. The food was simple, bland, uninteresting, and simply “plopped on a plate” rather than plated with care or pride. The service was the minimum to be expected.

   Nashville hot chicken sandwich was delicious - and not too hot for an "out of towner."

   Mediocre is the word that comes mind about my dinner here. And why doesn't the listing just come out and say it's in the Marriott hotel? It would have been a lot easier to find. The manager and my server were good, but the menu is uninspired and the food was just ok.

   The food took a very long time to come out, an hour+ and then was very cold. The steak was extremely burnt. And our waiter let us know the kitchen had been having issues and we will get our meal refunded. The manager came by and offered us free drinks - so we thought for the inconvenience. However after we enjoyed our drinks, he let us know we could not get our meal refunded. After asking to speak with another manager he gave us the business card of someone who could not and would not be able to help the situation according to the waiter. After receiving the correct business card from the waiter we gave the original card back and promptly left. Making sure to still tip our waiter since it was never an issue of payment, just service. Easily one of the most unprofessional services I’ve encountered. People see black women & automatically think we can’t afford nice things. Very disheartening especially during BHM.

    This place has a lot of potential but sadly seems to be affected by the staffing problems everyone is facing. Our server was nice and tried to be helpful but our drinks took forever and the food was lukewarm. That being said, it wasn't really all that bad, and we still managed to enjoy our meal and have a good time. We opted for the Valentines day appetizers which were delicious. The Lamb lollipops stole the show and were hot and crispy versus the bison meatballs which tasted good, but we're cold. How the lamb was warm and the meatballs cold on the same plate, was perplexing. For enteees, we got the NY Strip and the Salmon dishes. Our friends got the Burger and the Seafood Linguini. All were very good. We ordered wine with our dinner and had to ask for them when we were almost finished with our food. It took another 5-7 minutes for them to come. So, again, we enjoyed ourselves but would give feedback that the service missed the mark and the problems could be improved with quicker service to ensure food was not cold and drinks accompanied the food as ordered. Overall, we still would recommend this restaurant with hopes that they'll make improvements in this area.

    I made a reservation for 10 am and when I got there, they said they don't accept reservations for breakfast. They sat us within 20 minutes which was fine. The server was very short and seemed in a hurry. Possibly they are understaffed. I didn't realize this was a hotel restaurant until after I made the reservation otherwise I would have picked something else.

    Good tool over an hour and I all 4 of our meals came out cold. Sent them back and the next 4 meals came out Luke warm. Horrible value for your money. Nothing but excuses.

    With 6 people (a party of 4 and a party of 2) in the restaurant it took 15 minutes to seat my party of 2 for our reservation. After finally being seated for brunch we ordered mimosas and coffee. We attempted to order pancakes but were told there weren't any, we attempted to order waffles but were told there weren't any, we attempted to order their french toast but were told there weren't any. We decided to leave. The manager was gracious enough to comp our drinks, thank you.

    The food was gross. It came out cold, there was no flavor to it, and it made you not want to eat it after a couple of bites. The server was run ragged because there was no other servers inside so service was a bit slow, but understood. I would never go back, that’s for sure.

    This place has taken a hit since the pandemic. The menu on-line is not even close to what they serve today. The bar is fine as a hotel bar, but plenty of other much better places in Nashville to go.

    Apparently they’re having issues in the kitchen . It was 45 minutes before our salad arrived only to then have our dinner served five minutes later which was lukewarm. They were out of the one wine I had ordered. The waiter was very apologetic and comped us desserts. There was no one else in the restaurant so it wasn’t like they were busy. I hope they can get it together.

    The dining portion was fine but I was disappointed that the hotel/restaurant does not validate parking as is stated when I made the reservation. The restaurant had no idea what I was talking about - and the hotel would not honor my request.

    Our waiter/bartender tried his best but was working alone for most of our visit. He was very friendly and made great cocktails but was really struggling to wait on the entire dining room solo. The appetizers were AMAZING - deviled eggs, and crab hush puppies. Divine. The ambiance was...hotel-ish. The main course...shoe leather steak. The other choice was salmon which was not bad. I think there was a third choice of a quinoa bowl, but that was it for main entrees. We were looking for a fancy night out, but due to Belmont graduation we were unable to make reservations within a 15 mile radius of Nashville, save for this place. Should have stayed in Hendersonville.

    Food and drink menu was very limited. Lump meat crab balls were amazing. So called “Delmonico” ribeye was very below average and over priced.

    Went for Valentine’s Day. I had no trouble making the reservation. Was a bit confused by the wording on the special menu, as it suggested that some of the regular menu items were able to be used on the promotional menu.

    It was nice but be aware it is in the lobby of a hotel not a stand alone restaurant. We were very taken back by this key piece of info. The staff was nice . The drinks can not be substituted. Very close to the Vandy stadium and the Parthenon.
