    Delicious tasting menu and wine pairing that compares to other major cities and ranked restaurants. We did the 6 course tasting with wine pairings and am planning a return for the 10 course

    It's a new restaurant and they're getting their feet under them, but the food and service are worth any wait you might have. The wait staff are some of the best I've ever had and the food was exciting, bold, and in perfect portions.

    We spoke of a pork allergy twice, yet were still served pork. Overall, each course was very bland. We’ve visited tasting tbl multiple times, so this was a bit of a disappointment. We will not be returning.

    I had a six-course special for my wife's birthday. The service, food, and flavors reminded me of New York, which is something I don't get in this area.

    We were invited back to Reve to try their tasting menu and it was a lovely experience. The ambience is very nice and the service was outstanding. Our waiter, Blake, was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tasting menu is more than a meal, it’s a culinary art show. We did the wine pairing and it was fantastic. Each of the courses was beautifully presented and delicious. We had a delightful evening.

    This has become my "go-to" spot, as you see from multiple reviews... lol. I reserve, it sends me a request for review. Friday Chef rolled out two new dishes to surprise us, and did not disappoint. My new fav on the 10-course menu is an onion 'soup' dish that is not soup at all! 'Foamed' 'torched' cheese, caramelized onions, croutons from his own sourdough bread. You know how other onion 'soup' is annoying to eat? Not this one. Fabulous. I have no idea how to pronounce what he named it, but I'm going to ask for it again. I started outside on the patio with a glass of wine, waiting for my table reservation, wine was excellent quality. As others arrived, I migrated inside. Bartender asked what type of drink I'd like, I described 'tart, summer, thirsty.' She created something I asked her to remember for me, it was great. Group sitting next to me were raving about the wines from France, and you could hear them losing their minds on the caviar and later the souffle... As a result of their comments, I asked where they were from, answer, "Nashville, but we travel all over the world, just got back from Japan....we've eaten fantastic food all over the world. This is NEXT LEVEL." Conversations start, we meet new friends. We had a great time. As I was leaving, more people were arriving, late, people I knew, more party, stayed longer. This was a very quiet spot the first few weeks, no one knew it was there. Now it has become that 'meet us there' place. Extremely clean, extremely talented, all new design, gorgeous digs, physically comfortable and classy, but comfortably fun. I haven't chosen any other location for more than a month. Anyone asks me to go somewhere else, I usually ask them to change their minds... lol. You can't get this anywhere else.

    The food was just okay in the 6 course tasting. Nothing distinctly French. Was hoping to be wowed and we were not. Beautiful setting.

    This was an amazing experience. We did the six course meal and it was delicious. The staff was very knowledgeable of the dishes that were served and friendly. I would definitely recommend this location.
