Geist Bar + Restaurant in Tennessee

"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!!!"

"Food was amazing. A bit pricy but worth it. Patio was a tad cool but they had 2 fireplaces going and space heaters. Staff was amazing as well. Zibby, i believe her name was, extremely kind and very knowledgeable. This place was definitely ready for christmas."

"I had the luxury of being able to dine here twice during this holiday season. One evening I had Stephen as our server and the other I had John. Both were so amazing and attentive to my friends and I. They were very knowledgeable of both the food and cocktail menus! My friends and I were blown away with the quality of food that we ended up getting. We got a couple of apps/sides and some entrees and we were all arguing over who was taking home the leftovers because everything was so good. One of the evenings I dined in the main dining room and the other I dined in the garden. Both were wonderful atmospheres and I was really able to appreciate both rooms for different reasons. You can't go wrong! Every room in the restaurant is truly so well decorated. My friends and I could not recommend Geist more!"

"The food was amazing. We especially liked the sea bass I will be dreaming of that dish til we go back again. The parsnip puree, tomato jam and saffron butter just really blended well together with the fish! The scallop appetizer was also good- never had scallop cooked so perfectly like this. The decors were beautiful. Our experience guide Jess also was really accommodating and cheerful. I just hope they will cover the parking fee since their space is not enough for their patrons. It’s the least a fine dining restaurant should offer to their customer."

"Geist has potentially the best charcuterie board in Nashville. Their service is well paced and the atmosphere couldn't be more relaxed. It was just the right amount of welcoming and quiet. 10/10 would reccomend to anyone looking for a relaxed, well paced romantic dinner."

"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."

"Make a reservation! This place stayed packed and we came at 1pm! There are lots of beautiful photo ops and TONS of Christmas decor! My husband loved his snowball old-fashioned. It had a snowflake inside the ice. I didn’t really care for either of my drinks, but they were strong and the server was amazing and took the second one off even though I told him he didn’t have to. The frostbite frizz tasted odd to me. You’re not a lot of drink options with tequila, rum, or vodka. John (server)was amazing. The bread for breakfast sand very soft & the Burger was very juicy and well seasoned."

"Wonderful atmosphere and service! We had the steak tartare, lemuche and sea bass. All were excellent! Highly recommend! The service was top notch and the decor for Christmas was whimsical and cozy. Just wish they had espresso for an after-dinner drink (not espresso martini haha)."
