Elegant, subdued, classic. Very nice ambience. My beef tenderloin was superb. My wife?s sea bass was excellent. Coconut cake was very good. The oyster stew was good, but would probably try something different as a starter next time.

In ShortVaulted ceilings, European banquettes and plush fabrics create an atmosphere of opulence and luxury. At breakfast and lunch, this is the biggest power scene in town.

I've only had the burger plate for lunch. The burger was dry, hard, and partly burned around the edges. Not even like a juicy burger from McDonalds or Hardees! The fries were limp and cold, though the iced tea was good. Too expensive for a bad lunch! I've given them the benefit of the doubt on several occasions, and, alas, there was no improvement whatsoever. Will not try lunch there again.

Great old historic hotel. Ask for a renovated room as those are nicer than those that are not renovated. A great view is the view that looks out at the capital. Also, the Capital Grill in the lobby is terrific. If all the restaurants on the dining list are better than it, Nashville must have great food.
