    Honestly, I never wrote reviews but we had a 6:30 reservation and did not leave until after 9:30 pm. We waited for over two hours for our meals and our waiter never apologized or offered any credit for the issue. It was such a disappointing experience.

    Very disappointing. Fish was dry, steak was overcooked, and scallops were so salty that you couldn't taste the scallop. Restaurant was empty, yet food delivery was super slow. Not worth the price. Very unfortunate.

    Our waiter (Chandler) seated us, took our wine order, and was quickly back to discuss the menu options. He was very knowledgeable of the menu, preparation steps, and had New Orleans memories that coincided with ours. The restaurant has modified its gumbo preparation with extremely tasty results. We had a shared cup of gumbo and then to small house salads with salmon. The salmon was smoked, but the smokiness did not have an effect on the flavor! The entire meal went together very nicely and was very enjoyable. This is a great neighborhood restaurant; not too big, very comfortable with exceptional food and service. We will be back, and next time I am ordering a bowl of gumbo!

    We once enjoyed this restaurant. However, our last three experiences have been poor. The servers do their best. But the kitchen doesn't turn out the food in a timely fashion, and the food is just ordinary when it arrives. It seems that every time we go there are issues with the food being slow to come out or being cold when it arrives. And despite the problems, the manager never comes by our table or attempts to make things right. We will not return.

    Second time here and it was excellent again! Our family loves the wide variety of options, even though it's hard not to get the filet (amazing). The redfish probably comes in a close second, we love the crab cake as well. Great spot, hidden in the Brentwood area.

    Enjoyed the best Ribeye I can recall having anywhere in quite some time. The cut and flavor were spectacular, the wedge salad was great, but honestly the ribeye alone would have been suffice. Server was attentive, pleasant. Defiantly recommend dining here.

    We decided to give Ludlow & Prime one more shot after experiencing bad service in the past & we were disappointed yet again. We waited an hour and a half for food and at that point part of one meal came out and it was it was terrible - potatoes were cold and chicken was as bland. Waited another 10 minutes for the rest of our meals to come out but gave up, paid for our appetizer and left. Only one table on our side of the restaurant got food the entire time we were there. I really don’t understand how this restaurant is still in business.

    I never write a review but this place needs one. My family ordered dinner and an appetizer. Wine as well. The wine and appetizer took extremely long. Looked like understaffed maybe. I was patient. I asked for a grilled cheese for my daughter, basically leave the hamburger patty off the hamburger. They messed that up three times. To the point where my dinner finally got to the table but my five-year-old still didn't have any food, and when they brought the hamburger out the third time instead of a grilled cheese, I asked for my check, and I took my family to Chick-fil-A for dinner. My steak look like it was Gray, I like a pretty rare steak, but it literally look like it came straight out of the sous vide bag and never hit a grill.I will never be back. Lord help them with the new location.

    Busy Friday night, and after receiving our water, it took awhile to place a drink order and our server seemed rushed. Although rushed he was delightful. We had to place dirtied plates, and cups at the end of our table to be picked up, they were never taken. Food was delicious. Lack of non alcoholic beer, which one of us wanted, and no real non alcoholic specialty drinks, which was a bummer. Overall, good experience and we would certainly go back.

    I would skip it. We were so exited to have a good meal our last night in Nashville. Filet was charred black on outside and super salty. They were out of bernaise sauce and creamed spinach. The rolls and mashed potatoes were cold. Not at all what we were expecting for the money. Very disappointed.

    The food and service was excellent. It was a slow night for them so it was very quiet. There were not many desert selections which was disappointing. I ordered their seasonal sangria which was just ok. The blackberry was overwhelmed by too much lime. We would definitely dine with them again as the food was excellent. I had the filet with scallops which was a special and my husband had the salmon.

    What a find! Girls night out, we loved our experience! Started at the bar for cocktails before dinner, the bartender sold us on his watermelon martini which was refreshing and delish. At dinner, a lot of us opted for seafood- shrimp and grits- whoa!! Crabcakes were a hit Filet's were cooked to perfection. The oysters we started with were fresh, yummy. The Creme Brulee was our favorite of the desserts, also just genuinely loved the feel of the restaurant, great vibes. Brining my husband back for Happy Hour next week to give that a try!

    The go-to place for a great steak. Without a doubt, the best steak in town. I’ve been to almost every “steakhouse” in and around Nashville. You name it, we have been there. All over the city, overpriced, overcooked, overcrowded, no taste, tough so-called prime beef. Then there is Ludlow & Prime. They are absolutely fabulous and the standard by which all the other so-called “steakhouses” are rated. Dry aged beef, full of flavor, always cooked to the perfect temperature, always juicy.

    Disappointing first experience at Ludlow & Prime. We decided to try it for our 20+ anniversary and we were looking forward to fresh seafood and a nice experience. The fresh seafood tower was good but really overpriced for the serving size. The gumbo was unremarkable and the Oysters Rockefeller came out slow and cold. We passed on entrees and left early. We are hoping the new location in Berry Farms will be good and we will give it a try, but otherwise disappointing. Welcoming environment but expectations were left wanting.

    The food here was exceptional. We had the grouper special and it did not disappoint. We also had great drinks and the playlist was very groovy, serving old Hollywood and Motown hits. The place wasn’t overcrowded, even for a 7:45 reservation. I would recommend this spot to any friend and it is officially on our list of places to eat!
