What is modern American cuisine? First, we find fresh local ingredients and put our thinking caps on. We talk about dishes that bring us happy memories of these ingredients. We do research and learn about the history of regional cooking in and around Nashville. With our extensive culinary training and experience as our foundation, we experiment with ways to incorporate these ingredients. To our parents’ dismay, we encourage “playing with our food” to come up with new combinations while still paying homage to traditional dishes. As the growing seasons change, so do our menus (even the cocktail menu). James Beard Award winning Che RJ Cooper believes “every dish tells a story and celebrates the love affair we have with food,” and we keep that at the base of everything we do.

For the true foodie fans, Chef Cooper’s multi-course tasting counter situated around the open kitchen invites guests to interact with the chefs as they craft each course. Limited seating is available.

We went on a Sunday morning early Brunch, so it was very quiet. Just a couple of tables. We had decided on our brunch choices, but I saw a tray of biscuits being placed on a rack, and we just had to try one. I have to say, in a city that prides itself on biscuits, this has to have been the best biscuit I have had here in Nashville , and one of the top 3 of my life! Then the main course came. My wife had the onion tart. She described it as a French Onion soup (one of her favorite things) in a tart. I went with the cheeseburger, and like most Americans I have had burgers all over the country, but this was probably one of the best burgers EVER!!! The meat was delicious and well seasoned, the black garlic aioli gave it such a deep and mellow taste. It was wonderfully juicy. I had to go wash my hands so I wouldn’t gnaw on them while driving home. Oh! Don’t think the French fries were an afterthought, either! Thin, cut in house perfectly seasoned. They were just sharing a plate with that cheeseburger or they would be getting the raves. Some fries, you bury in ketchup because they don’t have much flavor. You just want to barely touch these to the ketchup. It just gives it that fully round taste without overwhelming the fries.

We got in and ordered drinks. 2 had to be sent back as they were awful. My clean martini was half vermouth. The menu was hard to understand and unappealing. We ordered 2 appetizers and were not impressed. We left and went somewhere else for dinner.

Michelle, we at StS apologize for not living up to you and your guests expectations. We have included in this weeks service training that a clean martini is a dry martini, a term that is not usually used. With training our service team, we have dove deeper in explaining how our menu works so our guests don't have any confusion. StS is extremely proud of our craft and guest experience is our number 1 priority. Please email us so we can invite you all back in. RJ Cooper~Chef/Owner

I have experienced tasting menus in many fine restaurants, both in the U.S. and internationally. This meal at Saint Stephen exceeded all my expectations!!! The food selections were varied from seafood to duck to lamb.....with numerous vegetarian small plates as well. Two desserts and a cheese selection that I’m still dreaming of the next day!!! It is so easy to see how the chef has won so many numerous awards and a JAMES BEARD trophy to his name!!!!! I am so grateful to have this restaurant in my neighborhood and will be a repeat customer!!!!

Service was okay, but not the most attentive for the price we were paying. The food was very inventive but flavors seemed hit or miss overall. The desserts were great, but tiny.

Michael, From the entire StS team, we are sorry that we did not live up to your expectation. As much as we try and hit the mark on seating times, some guests linger and were late on the first seating. Please email us directly, we would like to make up for the experience. hey@saintstephennash

The valet parking outside was shady. Said that it was complementary but when we stepped out it was $15. Also parked us in front of the restaurant and gave us keys to go get our own car. Service at the bar was great and well thought out. Drinks were great and different. Value of the drinks was on point felt like I got exactly what i paid for and maybe a little more. We were sat 15 min after our reservation time even after we arrived early. Server was knowledgeable but actually didn't show us that he valued our time. When placing our order he literally walked away from us mid order. Also interrupted twice by another staff while trying to get service. The food itself tasted great. The wait on each course was 35 minutes. I left the restaurant wanting more experience for what I actually paid for and that to me is unacceptable. I felt like my date actually blew it out of the water more than half the staff at the place.
