Character Distinctive Dining

Amazing food and great cocktails! The staff was very welcoming and took the time to talk to us about their restaurant in detail as it was our first time there.

This was our first time here and had a wonderful experience. The food was remarkable and flavorful. The chief prepared a truly one of a kind flavor experience.

Cannot say enough good about Spectator. Peter and staff provide superior service. The meals are an elegant experience well worth the prices.

Excellent staff and a great experience.

First visit. Great place. Great food. Great drinks. Will return often.

We had Valentines Day dinner here and it was great. Better than expected. Service was great and despite it being a busy night for restaurants we never felt rushed. The atmosphere was perfect with our table being inside just in front of the bar but it felt private . The presentation of the food was beautiful and the flavors matched. The beet salad was my favorite. I had a bite of my husband’s scallops that were perfectly done. For the main course, He has short ribs that he loved and I had bass that was delicious. My husband ordered a mescal cocktail called Jefe the Enabler that was almost too pretty to drink.
With Character being on our street and next door to a cringe-worthy hotel that has no regard for Covid protocols we thought it was going to be a disappointment but we had a great time, felt safe and will definitely be back.

A very cute restaurant with excellent food and superb presentation. My fiancé and I went there for their Valentine special price fix menu. I started out with the scallops that were amazing and she had the beet plate that was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. We both had the short ribs with a cream sauce wonderfully cooked onion and mushrooms and thin sliced potatoes. The meal finished with a strawberry chocolate dessert that was just the right portion. The waiter Alan was very attentive and one of the owners Peter was clearly supervising the guest experiences. Make no mistake, this is not an inexpensive restaurant but you do get what you pay for. I would definitely come back.

We enjoyed the Valentines Weekend 2021 dining experience at Character. The ambiance was energetic and the food was amazing. As we don't drink alcohol, the bartender made special hibiscus mocktails for us.

High quality and fantastic flavor. Would definitely recommend and will return myself. A bit on the pricey side.

This place is the best! The service is great, the food is delicious and thoughtful. It's a pretty high price point for the area, but my husband and I like to think of it as a great spot for celebrations and holidays.

Second time here. The food was as great as the first time. Favorite dish still has to be the artichokes but it’s a tough call. The romanesco was amazing too.
My only suggestion would be to expand the wine by the glass menu.

We have eaten out twice this last (COVID) year. . . And I can’t exclaim enough how worth it it was to come here for a special occasion. Four of us sat outside under a heater and enjoyed the most amazing food and attentive service - all COVId precautions taken.

Everything was absolutely wonderful! Inventive, delicious dishes and amazing cocktails! Service was top notch as well! Can't wait to go back!

Amazing food, cocktails and service!

Great food and service. The entire staff made us feel very comfortable.

Food was fantastic and the service was great! Such a cool new spot.

Love it!!!!

What a great new addition to the downtown dining scene. Great service, amazing food, and wonderful, attentive staff. This will be a regular spot for us!

Had an awesome patio experience! Food and wine were outstanding and the staff was very friendly and accommodating! Recommend.

Nice to have a new restaurant to try! We had great service from Cornell and we just grazed thought the menu. The octopus was excellent as were the meatballs and burrata. Great selection of small plates to share. Only downer was the kitchen was very slow, it took over 30 minutes before any food arrived to the table.

Food was outstanding! Every dish was so delicious and well presented. Highly recommend the black cod, artichokes, octopus and bread pudding.

Amazing!!!

Best I’ve had anywhere and I guarantee you we’ve been to wonderful places all over the world! Please bring your creativity to Nashville!

Character is definitely a favorite of ours. We have been there 2 times and have taken friends and family there. Each time we have enjoyed many of their menu items and all have been delicious! The patio is comfortable with plenty of spacing and heaters. We were not rushed and when an item took too long they offered us a special dish and comped the item that was delayed. We highly recommend. The neighborhood around Character is also so interesting now with all the street art. Go enjoy the evening!

Absolutely amazing food and service. We felt welcomed the moment we were greeted by PK at the door. Highly recommend a wonderful night out here. You don’t regret it.

Delicious food, great service and yummy cocktails!

Amazing food highly recommend!

Fantastic food, libations, menu choices, cocktails and awesome people! do not miss Character

Food was very solid. Croissant bread pudding is a winner! Drinks were ok. Service great and ambiance is lovely. Better than Josephine that was there. I recommend

Food, cocktails and service were outstanding. Would definitely recommend. Great date night spot.

Came here for our 1 year anniversary dinner. The food was spectacular - from the caramelized onion bruschetta to the duck confit with curry cauliflower and pistachio gremolata, was a delight to the senses. The cocktails were also fantastic, with the tobacco bitters in the manhattan and Yellowstone man 🔥🔥🔥 finished off with a poppyseed roulade for dessert which was a perfect end to the night. The service was above and beyond, and I am planning my next trip back here for sure. 5 stars all around.

Best halibut I have ever tasted! Melted in your mouth!

We are so pleased to have Character in the neighborhood! We sat outside, so I can't comment on the interior, but the patio is fantastic. On a quiet street with some cute dogs going by. The food is outstanding. We started with the octopus, which was cooked to perfection - tender with a little char from the wood oven. I had the lamb, which was amazing. Thick cut rack of lamb, crisp on the outside and cooked to a perfect medium rare. I got one end piece which I loved. My husband had the duck, he let me try some of the breast which was wonderful, it was also served with confit. Dessert was a lemon poppy seed cake, done jelly roll style with lemon curd instead of jelly. We managed just a taste and took the rest home, I couldn't wait to have it with coffee the next day, it was still fantastic. We tried a couple of wines, all fantastic, and will have to try a cocktail next time.
So great food and exceptional service, this is a top notch team who is excited about their new restaurant, they are taking a lot of pride in creating a great dining experience.

OmG! The best of everything, the service was incredible! Keith Rocked my table, super knowledgeable, the owners treat you like Family!
The food is amazing! The best lamb I ever had and make sure to eat the waffle fries!
Outstanding 5 stars! Can’t wait to be back!
