    First time actually dining in the Jeff Ruby restaurant. I have had their cuisine in a carry out fashion and the dine-in experience did not disappoint! Th entire experience from start to finish was next level. The cuisine was cooked to perfection. We had the Wagyu trio and the flavor profile was excellent. We asked the kitchen to hold the sauce on the Brussel sprouts and they were amazing. Not enough words in the English vocabulary to describe how excellent the macaroni and cheese was. Had a slight hiccup with one of the desserts but they was immediately resolved. Our waiter Justin and his team did a phenomenal job in making sure that all of our experience was memorable. Jeff Ruby is perhaps one of the superior fine dining establishments in Nashville.

    What a fantastic night we had celebrating a birthday! The food, drinks and service were all amazing, but what really touched us is the customization and prep for our birthday boy! They had a gift waiting for him based on his love of basketball. I’ve never had a restaurant do this but we thought so highly of them, we are booking our son’s birthday later in May as well. Such an attentive and thoughtful place on top of the food that is fantastic! Our daughter is also gluten intolerant and they were able to accommodate that as well. Thank you!

    Our first time at Sushi Row, and it certainly won't be our last! We all know that Nashville is challenged when it comes to finding great raw fish, but Sushi Row is leading the charge towards great quality fish, served simply. We are so tired of other spots around town that just serve overdressed rolls that always taste the same -- Sushi Row is bucking that trend. Combine really well done and thoughtful dishes with a cool vibe and friendly service and you've got a new hot spot in town. Recommended!
