Yolan

"Our experience today 3/1 was not matching what other reviews were sharing here. From the beginning host was dry and not accommodating; then bar next to it the bartenders were super rude when asking if we could order drinks while we waited. We sat down and we were expecting server to walk us thru menu, that wa not the case. We waited an eternity for drinks, and take our order. The cheff compliment us with two small plates (we loved and enjoyed). Food is what is mostly based our rating. It was the best food around town hands down! Another cons the cocktails were not mixed well. They tasted purely like alcohol. The expresso martini one of the worst we ever tried. Not cocktail driven just get wine and you will avoid subpar drinks. Take advantage of the somm and your experience will probably be different thank what we had."

"The restaurant is definitely gorgeous and upscale, I love being able to see the chefs and the staff at work, everyone was polite and attentive/approachable. Both to chef and their bartender/mixologist made a quick stop by the table just to share and explain what it was that they put together for us. Some finger foods were brought to us, compliments of the chef. Overall, this was an amazing experience. The food was great not every dish will necessarily feel like a full meal that will get you full but I think with all the courses and a drink it will be fine. Definitely this is not the place for you if you are hoping to only spend $15-$20 on food or meat or even drink options. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and the drinks and would definitely recommend it whether it’s for a personal, business/professional, or a romantic dinner."

"Yolan checks every single box. Food is amazing and every single details about it is very taken care of. Chef really does an amazing job. Service is one of the best we’ve ever had. Atmosphere is also very nice and sophisticated. It is expensive, sure, if you can quickly realize why. It is ideal for special occasions. Once in Nashville, Yolan is a must go!"

"We really enjoyed our meal at Yolan. Great service, we sat early so we’re handled by a small team, good vibe, hearty portions, and nice quality. We could have split our meal with another couple family style and it would have been a ridiculous value. We took home a full 3 course meal to our son with our leftovers. Good value. The wine pairing was spot on."

"We really enjoyed our experience here. The ambience is amazing and the service is fantastic. We ordered two different meals- 1. Gnocchi - black summer truffle, ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano - this was AMAZING. Best I’ve ever had. 2. Spaghetti alla Chitarra - pesto Calabrese, black garlic, basil- this one was just okay. It had an interesting taste but wasn’t our favorite. We also had dessert to go - Macchia di Fragole - strawberry-tarragon mousse, sumac, compressed rhubarb, toasted pine nut. I was not a huge fan of this. It had an interesting texture that wasn’t for me. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and will be back to try more dishes. It’s definitely a must try while in Nashville, especially if you’re staying at The Joseph."
