Library Restaurant & Lounge

The Library is such an interesting experience in the world of Nashville. In this area, almost every bar/restaurant a hotel owns has some sort of theme or upscale "vibe" to try to compete as their own stand-alone restaurant in this party-going area.The Library, however, seems to have skipped all that. You walk in, and it's attached to the hotel lobby and looks like a hotel restaurant that could have been attached to a hotel on the outskirts of any given city. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; cocktails cost less, and it's nowhere near as loud or bustling as most of the other hotel restaurants in the area. PROS:-Large TVs to watch sports (and groups of people were huddled around them to do so), but the bartender let them know the TV volume couldn't be on. This really kept the noise level down, and it was great to have conversations in here. -The vibe was nice and calm; a good comparison to the places we've been throughout the surrounding 5 Nashville blocks. -Parmesan fries were amazing. They were delivered hot and piled with parmesan. Everything that was promised came true. It was served with a ketchup (and not an aioli, like I'm used to), but the fries themselves were killer.CONS:-We came here because I REALLY wanted some good bolognese, and they advertised it as one of their few entrees. What I received was some odd assortment of dry noodles with a light spattering of meat-forward dripping. The "sauce" didn't really coat the noodles, so it was mostly cooked, but unsauced, pasta in a pretty small portion. -Service was slow, and we had to go to the bar to order another drink. This may not be a common occurrence, though, as some of the employees were packing up things and let us know that they're expecting a renovation soon, so they were probably more distracted than usual. -Well drinks are expensive here. Their specialty cocktails were $13-15 a pop. A well drink cocktail was also $13. (Wild)

Chose the hotel restaurant because it was convenient and we were planning to check out early this morning. They open at 6:30 am. While the menu is limited, it is well-thought out and a great place to start your morning. We ordered the Crack of Dawn and Avocado Toast. Beautifully plated, that put me in a good mood already! The dishes were just right and tasted great! I expected the prices to be more but it was not bad. I've seen avocado toast for anywhere between $8-$25 so this came in between.The decor is beautiful. I wish we hadn't waited to check it out until the last day!

Nick and I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful breakfast at the Library Restaurant. The strawberry cheesecake French toast was amazing!! Try it! The portion was large, too. The crack of dawn was also good especially the potatoes. We had plenty of delicious food. The restaurant was very convenient since it's in the hotel, but we were not disappointed!

What a great place to take pictures and vibes. They have limited vegetarian options, but the hostess was great at recommendations and accommodations. I got the pesto flatbread without the chicken and it was really good! My friend got the giving tree and it was amazing! I got the great expectations and it was sweet and fruity. The hostess recommended the mushroom pasta - so i might get that the next time. Unfortunately I didn't get it this time.

So. Staycation at the Westin was great. Coffee and refills were great. Crab Benedict looked amazing but was stone cold and served on an English muffin straight from the fridge. They were very nice and brought a toasted one to the table but really just inedible at that point (30 min). When they flip the little screen around, I'd hold off on tipping for service until you know what the service and quality are going to be.

So I payed for my breakfast with my room at the Sheraton Grand Nashville and that happened to be brunch which my spouse and i had at the Library. My wife had the two eggs scrambled, bacon, potatoes and wheat toast. All looked really good she said the eggs were nice and fluffy and the bacon crisp and delicious. The potatoes were smashed potatoes and she said were seasoned nicely. I ordered the bacon cheese burger with fries. The burger was a good smash burger juicy and light crisp on the edges. The fries were tasty and crispy.

Not bad for a hotel restaurant. We had some breakfast before we departed and were pretty pleased. I went with a breakfast sandwich served on a bagel, and I must say that it was quite tasty. And the bagel was a bit larger than normal, which I appreciated as I was pretty hungry. And I loved the crispy potatoes that came as a side. A perfect complement.

I had a great experience here thanks to the hotel's Club Lounge being closed during my hotel stay. The ambiance is very welcoming and with an old school library vibe. I tried a variety of their menu items and most of it was great. I don't recommend the biscuits & gravy or avocado toast. Staff are welcoming and make great recommendations. Great place to dine and or just chill out after work.

We got free breakfast here (in the form of many $20 vouchers) and free cocktails after having issues with the hotel water.The breakfast was tasty - the potatoes were very good, though we wished there were more other veggies on the menu (the one veggie and egg option was very low on actual vegetables).Cocktails were also good, though pre-mixed so you couldn't change anything (for example, I wanted one more as a mocktail / with less booze but they couldn't adjust it at all).Service was quick and very friendly, and it was convenient - and a good value especially if it's free! I wouldn't have paid $20 per day for this breakfast, but we were glad to have it as the start to our adventures.

Stopped in for a solo dinner (biz trip and I am staying in the Sheraton Grand).Ordered a "hef" to start. My favorite kind of beer. Then followed up with the Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders and Truffled Fries. The Nashville "hot" chicken was flavorful especially the pickles but not that hot (had to add Tabasco) to kick it up. The truffled fries were seasoned well and came with ketchup and mayo served on the side for dipping. Really wanted to like he mayo but there is just something comforting about fries and ketchup. So not a bad dinner for one.Decided that still had room for dessert so ordered a Bonut (Biscuit Donut hybrid) with a cup of coffee. I he Bonut is best described as a deep fried biscuit disguised as a donut hole. Served with berry preserves it is very tasty but heavy. The serving size is theee but I would have been satiated with just one. Eating the other two was just decadent indulgence.Flying in from the west coast it's not really dinner time for me but needed a nice meal with coffee so that I wouldn't fall asleep Still have some work to do.Sitting at the bar and the service was great! Atmosphere is typical hotel but with a Music City feel. Overall a four out of five star experience. They lose a star on the Nashville "tasty but not hot" chicken sliders.
