Ellington's

The Bar at Ellington's Restaurant is awesome!! We enjoyed cocktails with Isaiah the phenomenal bartender! I recommend coming here if you are looking for unique eats and a place to chill! The food was great and Isaiah's drinks were fabulous! We enjoyed chatting with Isaiah!

I had an awesome time at Ellington's in Nashville. It is located inside the Fairlane Hotel and I chose this restaurant because it had more vegetarian options than the average restaurant. I made reservations online a week prior. We were greeted with smiles and placed at a table. That area was drafty and our waiter had no problem relocating us to a warmer area of the restaurant. There was a nice neo soul music selection going on the whole time, however I was told that this was random and the music selection changes. For such a nice elegant restaurant, I felt much more people should be there.Our waiter was awesome. He was a guy from New York. I wish I could remember his name though. He mixed us up a wonderful tropically sweet cocktail. It was a vegetarian dinner and the harvest risotto was the star of the show. It was so rich, creamy, savory, and the vegetables where crisp. The crispy brussel sprouts were not shy either with bringing on a punchy roasted caramelized slightly sweet and acidic flavor. The fettuccini with roasted vegetables was good in its own right, but the least flavorful.The atmosphere here was on point in a romantic way. The service was A+. The food was 5/5 and the prices were very reasonable relative to quality. I highly recommend giving Ellington's a try.

This is a wonderful place! If you're staying in Nashville and crazing high-end meal and amazing service, this is the spot. Try the corn bread if you can! Our salmon and steak were delicious and the wine was delicious -- there's a lot to choose from on the wine list. There's also a lively bar with amazing cocktails. Give this place a try!

Wow! Just wow! A classic hotel lounge that drips with elegance and was probably way too fancy for me to be in, but I'm all about it! We sat at the bar and ordered a few cocktails and the Charcuterie to nosh on. Not only was it beautiful to look at, but it was filled with amazing meats, cheeses, fruit and other accompaniments. Perfect before a night out in town. Sitting at the bar was perfect as it was quiet, and the bartender was great with explaining their signature cocktails. I got the Last Word which has gin, luxardo maraschino liqueur, green chartreuse and lime. Super unique, and a great take on a gin based beverage. Hoping to stay by this spot downtown again as to once again start the night here.

Second review - half a year later - food and service continues to be excellent. Party of three started with the pimento cheese app, delicious with the bagel chips. Entrees were filet with manchego potatoes, bone in pork chops with roasted potatoes and the chicken with gnocchi. Filet great, finest amount of potatoes ever but that's fine cause they were the saltiest. Despite being described as a petit filet it was huge so the portion size was great, cooked perfectly. Pork chops got great reviews. The chicken and gnocchi said the gnocchi was some of the best and really didn't even need the chicken. Always great service and ambiance- truely a hidden gem in downtown Nashville.

What a wonderful hidden gem in Nashville! Hidden on the fourth floor of a boutique hotel, Ellington's serves classic dishes with precision and a keen eye towards flavor. The roasted chicken and gnocchi is the ultimate comfort dish and the beet salad and bread service make for fail proof starters. Our group also had the risotto which was a little underwhelming, but still seasoned beautifully. Their cocktails and wine pairing are a little sparse but the atmosphere makes up for any limitations. Ellington's isn't reinventing your favorite dishes, they are just cooking better than you can imagine!

2 hour wait across the street at Jeff ruby, we got right in at Ellington's! The Valet recommended the steaks! (Thanks Charlie!) we had a great time! Good service and I passed the Fillet and went with the Tomahawk!We met the manager too! Suzy runs a tight ship! The bartender knew our drinks and came to our table to say that nobody had ever ordered that! Fun night! Great restaurant!

Seems like a secret restaurant no one knows about! We had a reservation, were sat outside (weather was great) and the noise was the perfect level to have conversation. The food was amazing! If you eat here, you get to jump the line to go to the pop up bar upstairs! The theme was "falling in the Fairlane". The drinks were all fall themed which was a fun after dinner spot!

Our family of four went to dinner last night 9/4 here around 8:30 pm. Service was horrible and only one other couple in there. Food was horrible and way overpriced. Best thing about the dinner was the drinks. Would not eat here again. Waste of money.

Great service, delicious food - perfect for business dinner and the Caesar dressing made me want to order seconds!
