    We love the Thistle and Rye and visit it often. This time we decided to enjoy the igloo, it was so much fun. The Disco drinks were off the charts amazing and served in a disco ball which was adorable! We love the global street food menu Thistle and Rye offer. Noah was our main server and he was superb! We did not try the curling rink, however a really enthusiastic group were having so much fun… next time.

    I didn’t realize there wasn’t a full dinner menu, but our waitress, Kat, was nice enough to call downstairs to Blue Aster to make sure they had room for us. My party of 3 just had a cocktail before leaving, and they were delicious and well presented (albeit expensive for the small amount).

    I held a surprise birthday party for my wife and 30 of her friends and could not have been more pleased with the service and professionalism. Savannah, Nik and Heather were incredibly supportive and attentive to all details so that this experience would be memorable. The staff, food, beverages and ambiance were perfect 10’s! Thank you Conrad and Thistle and Rye!!

    A friend and I were in town for a few days and looking for new and unique places to eat. We found this restaurant online, checked out the menu and read reviews. The menu was interesting and we were looking forward to dinner. Unfortunately, we were very underwhelmed. The vegetable sides were amazing, and we were grateful for those as main dishes fell flat. Duck fried rice was ok so we ended up sharing that. Short Rib Udon dish was a big disappointment. Not sure what turned us off, but both of us took one bite and were done. Flavor was off. We might have sent it back and let them know if our waitress ever came back to check in. We were seated by ourselves and we saw her three times... drinks, order, bill. Overall, the meal and experience was not worth the expense.

    great experience with a large group in this swank, but comfortable, new restaurant. Beautiful setting, lovely decor and ambiance. A welcome break from the Nashville hubub. Great service and delicious food as well. Every dish we had was full of wonderful Asian fusion flavors. Thanks to the staff for their attentive service.

    The ambiance is great. The food are good for sharing, tasty asian foods. What brings us down is the service, it is terrible. We had to seat ourselves, took a while for service comes over and long wait for drinks. It was almost empty when we were there, no service or management around to check on us or offer another rounds. I’m not sure we will be back

    We came here as a group of 4 adults and 4 teens not knowing what to expect. It wasn’t very crowded and the menu looked very limited. However, the overall experience ended up being amazing! We had a quiet corner all to ourselves. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The cocktails were fresh and unique (highly recommend The Hermitage). The kids all loved the Yaki Udon bowl. The adults split several tapas, but our overall favorites were the Brussels sprouts and Cauliflower. My favorite was the Portuguese duck rice bowl I ordered. There were so many intricate flavors involved - duck, andouille, apricot jam, and castelvetranos. It was served with fried plantains on the side and a perfectly poached egg on top. So glad we chose to eat here!

    We waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order and another 45 minutes for our drinks to arrive. One of my friends never got his drink and they waited another five minutes to tell him they were actually out of what he wanted. No one even checked on us or apologized for the wait. We ended up leaving after the one drink to eat dinner somewhere else.

    This is a new establishment so I understand they're working out some kinks. service was just very bland and kept having to call them over. Cocktails start at $18. I ordered a extra dirty Martini my friend who ordered a regular martini hers came with olives & dirtier than mine. I had already asked the waiter for Olives as well when he sent my drink down. I had gone to the restroom and seen him bring drinks out to a few other tables. At that point I was like wasn't even that fond of how the drink was made so had to come back and take my drink to make it dirtier and put olives in it for me. after that it was ok. However for $18 for 4oz of liquor I want to make sure I like it. I would recommend it for the atmosphere but I'll probably be having my cocktails elsewhere

    To die for bao bun, excellent presentation on the cocktails. A bit pricey and the live dj was a bit too loud but very good. Refined tastes only here, otherwise you’ll probably be upset at the prices. Worth the experience.
