“The drinks and food were all top notch and the atmosphere is beautiful.”

7/7 -> 5 stars, go out of your way to eat here. Words escape me. For as long as I’ve cooked and reviewed restaurants I’ve never before had the utter pleasure of tasting food with the depth, variety, and delight that Geist provided. I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if there was a Michelin star in the works for them. I don’t have any particular suggestion for what to select on the menu, as after having tried everything on the spring menu (yes I know, crazy), not one of them is less than the other.

We visited for the first time and so happy the Christmas decorations were still up in January! The food was excellent, especially the whipped ricotta and lamb loin. And we adored the staff, maybe the best in Nashville! Especially Cassie who gave great recommendations (and a couple shots 🥳) and Lauren who was so sweet to take our photo in the cold weather. Will absolutely be back!!!

Last minute trip to Nashville and a friend from home recommended this spot. It did not disappoint. We stopped in and grabbed a bar seat. Very happy with the drinks and food. Highly recommend the lamb and duck rigatoni. My favorite part? Fun set of bartenders. You will not be disappointed.

Second visit to the wonderful spot in Nashville. Was a packed evening with a number of large tables yet the staff and kitchen didn’t miss a beat. The food was fantastic (try the Sea Bass or the Duck), great small plates and appetizers (Pork Belly, Scallops, Whipped Ricotta) and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. If in Nashville this is a must try!
