    I had noticed the photos of food on Open Table and decided to give it a try. Dave was our server and made sure we had top-notch service. The food was impeccable and it tastes just as amazing as it looks.

    Kyler was excellent and his love language must be “acts of kindness”. Offered a quick tour of the restaurant when we showed curiosity. Figured out, with the assistance/guidance of Benjamin (the creatively fantastic manger) how I could transport my leftovers securely on a plane trip. The space, food, vibes and caring staff make me want to come back, soon. In the meantime, I will let everyone I know to be sure to put Love Language on their lists of places to go, while in Nashville. You leave with a full belly and happier heart.

    The server was dry informative when explaining the menu but never came back to check on us. Three different kinds of pizza were all EXTREMELY salty. Reasonably priced considering the location and atmosphere but food wasn’t very good overall. The best part was valet parking.

    Cute place with great energy and service. The burrata was delicious. The capellini was over cooked and flavored too heavily with anchovy. The duck was good but overly salted. Great cocktails.

    We loved it. This was our first time. We went with friends who were in town from another state. This was a great way to showcase Nashville’s food scene away from the honky tonk, boisterous lower Broadway area. David, our waiter, was a delight. Helped us with the drink and food menu, making excellent recommendations. We had five appetizers and a pizza which split among four. It was more than enough. Everything was delicious, but be sure to try the broccoli. Even if you hate broccoli, you will love it here. The sweet potatoes were also delicious.

    Went here for date night and left disappointed by the food. The pizza was dry and barely had any toppings. The shrimp and grits had no flavor. We did enjoy the arancini and their espresso martinis, but the food overall was not good. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    Our server was very nice. However, it took forever to get our drinks (mine, btw, was terrible). Artichoke appetizer was great. Pasta dish was very salty. We ordered dessert and were told that particular dish had been "made incorrectly" and was not available. I won't be going back.

    I made a reservation for 10 people at 9:30 PM for dinner. When we got there they said that they weren’t serving pizza bc “the dough went bad” even though pizza is HALF of their entree menu. So, we were left to pick from 5 entree’s and some appetizers, but the apps were about 20 each and obviously smaller portions. So, we place our orders and 10 minutes later the waiter comes back and tells us that three of the five dinner options were unavailable. So unless we wanted to pay 40-60$ per person and order 2-3 appetizers each, we could only choose either the pasta option or the chicken option. They then talked about how it’s so late so a lot of the food options just aren’t available which made us mad because 1. it doesn’t say that on their website and 2. they called to confirm my reservation but failed to let us know that there would be limited food options. They gave us free dessert to make up for it though, and gave us 50% off. So the service was very nice, our waiter was friendly and we felt bad that he had to be the bearer of bad news. The food was also delicious, it just seems like there’s a systems error that could be fixed. They also shouldn’t take reservations for later at night without notifying them that the menu is limited. Would recommend if you don’t go at night and with a smaller party.

    Love LanguageResponded on May 18, 2023We are so sorry you did not receive a 5 star experience. These issues have been brought to management's attention and will be resolved. We would love to invite you back to dine with us to offer you the experience you should have received!

    I love the aesthetics, decor, and overall vibe! We had the artichoke and arancini starters. The artichokes were delicious! I have never had them prepared this way before and they were so unique! Loved them. The arancini was bland, it lacked seasoning and I expected a nice crunch-just okay. For mains we had the pork pappardelle pasta and a margarita pizza. The pasta was very flavorful with the savory, well seasoned pork but the pasta was a little gluey and not silky like you want pappardelle to be. The pizza was just okay-I expected a nice crispy crust and it was floppy. It could have been more seasoned as well. Overall the whole experience was just okay. I appreciated that they had a Taylor Swift cocktail since it was the weekend she was in town. I felt the wait staff was flustered and overwhelmed but she was very sweet but just seemed over extended. They do have a beautiful outdoor seating area and it is in an easy to find location.

    The food was only ok. So many places to eat in Nashville I would not go back here. The pizza dough was great but the sauce lacked flavor and was very thin. The margarita pizza had very little mozzarella on it. I also thought the vibe inside would be better than it was. Overall disappointed.

    We hosted a girls birthday brunch at Love Language and it was the perfect choice! The atmosphere is eclectic and hip, and the service was outstanding. Shout out to Ben at the bar who made the birthday feel extra special and for showing us the most Insta-worthy photo spots in the restaurant. I have already recommended this place for people looking for a fun meal in Nashville off the beaten path.

    Excellent food, ambience, and especially service. Our waiter, David, is the last of a breed - a genuine professional waiter. We had four “small plates” - all of which were unique and delicious. The chocolate soufflé was, according to my well travelled wife, the best she has ever had. Please do not hesitate choosing this restaurant if you enjoy fine food you are not capable of preparing yourself at home. Eclectic well thought out choices and everything we tried was excellent. Well Done!

    Enjoyed our Saturday brunch, even though the website says Brunch is only on Sunday so we had expected the regular menu. All the pluses: Margarite pizza-really nice crust, Smashburger served with fries, Quiche-excellent with a very nicely dressed side salad of fresh greens, Eggs Benedict with mortadella instead of Canadian bacon (also came with that lovely side salad), Avocado toast with ricotta. The banana bread was fine, but mine is better. The Bloody Mary was average, the beer good. Something to be aware of: the Avocado toast was the most expensive thing on the brunch menu because it included lobster ($32). Our vegetarian asked for it without the lobster and was still charged $32. We talked with the very nice GM, Ben, who gave us a one-time discount since we had no lobster, but said in the future to ask for the lobster on the side. We will be back for dinner and looking forward to their soon to be available new spring menu!

    We had 8:45 reservations. We were there 10 minutes early. The hostes said our table was not ready so we could go to the bar. 15 minutes later we were sat at a table in the back of the bar like we were an after thought. Waiter took 10 minutes to get our drink order and was completely clueless. I ordered sweet tea. He said I think we are out but I’ll check. My daughter asked for water. He took 10 minutes to come back with no water and forgot to check on the tea. My daughter ordered chicken scampi. He came back 10 minutes later and said they were out of pasta. Still no tea. We never saw that waiter again. About 20 minutes went by and we finally got our food. Still no water. A waitress came and said they had a server change and she would be taking care of us. We finally got water! After an hour and a half and a $200 tab we left completely disappointed. This was a dinner for my daughters 21st birthday and I was completely embarrassed that I took her there. How do you run out of pasta and tea!! What happened to the clueless waiter?! Why were we sat in one of the worst tables there? And why did it take 15 minutes to seat us when the table was open and set the whole time! Completely unacceptable!
