    This was a really cool experience. The jazz music and singing provided a great environment. The scallops were amazing! The housemade blue cheese was great with the wedge salad. The chicken was dry unfortunately, but our overall experience was great. We will have to check out the burlesque show next time!

    My husband and I are from Jersey, near Hoboken. Where Sinatra is from. We love him. So of course when we heard there was going to be a restaurant dedicated to ‘OLE BLUE EYEs, we were very excited. It has been opened about two years and we have been there several times. We frequent many other restaurants owned by the owner of Sinatra’a, i.e. Skull’s, House of Cards, Cash’a, etc, so we knew it would be awesome I must tell you, this restaurant is one of the best dining experiences in Nashville. From the manager Paige, to the Head of reservations Heather, they can’t be friendlier, more knowledgeable or more accommodating. They always make me feel special. Our favorite waiter, Mark is wonderful. Always making suggestions and knows the menu like no other. The food is amazing. Starting with the pear burrata, then the zucchini fries, the melon and prosciutto, any of the salads, ciopino over linguini, just an amazing experience. I highly recommend.

    One of the best eating experiences of my life. Every course had amazing flavors. Have to watch how much you eat because the portions are very generous, and my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. Service was amazing and although it was expensive, it was worth every penny. Not a meal for the budget conscience, however, if you really want to impress somebody who is a foodie it is definitely the place to go to get a real fine dining experience.

    Excellent southern food and charm. We love the chicken fried chicken, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and, of course, the southern fried chicken. There is plenty of food, so we recommend you consider sharing a plate. Plus, it will save you room for their delicious desserts, especially their Cobbler of the Day. We also highly recommend the Fried Green Tomato appetizer - YUM! Our only complaints with the Nashville location are parking (good luck) and noise (this restaurant is VERY loud). Otherwise, you can't go wrong with the food or drinks!
