Ella's on 2nd

"Food was really not good. Salad was soggy and had basically no meat, and chicken sandwich was rubbery and missing half of what was supposed to be on it. like very very small pieces of prosciutto, like one pepperoni slice total. Almost comically small amount of prosciutto. Chicken sandwich was obviously not cooked at that time and was like rubber, did not have any pesto as advertised, cheese was not even melted really. For the cost this is extremely disappointing. Would not go back even if it was not expensive. Really just not good food. We stopped eating half way through. The fries were alright. Edit: they comped the food because the salad was literally grossly soggy like it had sat for a while, and the sandwich also did not have pesto or other stuff it advertised on it. no spices or pesto or anything on the sandwich, they just forgot I guess?… Service was fine, waiter was very polite, but really not good food at all. Really appreciate that they comped it, but it’s very disappointing to go spend your time on vacation and would’ve spent money if they had not comped it because of the obvious issues with the food. My wife is now not feeling well because of the soggy salad, so we are sitting in the hotel now instead of being out on vacation. I would not recommend it."

"We had the brunch buffet. The food was amazing! Chef Daniel talked to my boys, who are 25, and they thought he was the coolest guy. He's so passionate about his creative dishes. I can not explain in words how much my sons who are a little picky loved it as much as I did. Chef Daniel is so kind, and we had a great time talking to him about the new dishes he prepared that he just learned from a chef event in New York. This place is a must try while you are visiting Nashville!"

"Sub par restaurant trying to disguise as a ‘chic’ restaurant. While the decor and ambiance is cute, the service and food was severely lacking. I had the chicken Caprese Chicken Sandwich, bread and sauce on the side. When it came, there was no pesto aioli. I asked the server if I could get it, and he brought me Sriracha aioli. I also asked for mustard and he said ‘let me check to see if we have mustard’, which I thought was odd because they are a hotel restaurant with burgers on the menu so they should have mustard. It came in packets. For this nice of a restaurant they should at least have dijon or put it in a better presentation. Other issues like ordering Orange Juice but never got it (wasn’t charged for it so the server must have forgotten). I am being picky with my review because for a nice restaurant that has 4+ star review, I think it’s lacking in a lot of areas. If you are staying in the hotel then it’s a fine option, but don’t waste the time or money otherwise."

"Probably the best breakfast in Nashville. Beautifully presented and healthy food delivered in a jiffy. Good alternative to the usual waffle and pancakes- and much healthier!"

"This is a great place. Modern atmosphere, staff are lovely and knowledgeable and the food is fantastic. I had the slow cooked beef ribs. Cooked until the meat falls off the bone and served on creamy polenta. Fabulous."
