In Short – This upscale eatery blends distinct flavors on three floors. The main dining room is an intimate bistro with high ceilings and a bold, dark color scheme. A small bar on the second floor provides a social and serviceable way station before seating. The top floor, with its louder music, and younger crowd, is an after-dinner destination. The New American presentations are thoughtful and original, from pan-seared quail to grilled pineapple and dried cherry bread pudding.

Very Disappointing
by RayL at Citysearch
The building had a terrible smell, Allowed smoking at the next table, food was very overcooked, tables were much to small for 4 diners, couldn't fit all of the glasses, silverware dinner plates and bread plates on the table at the same time. I think it needs a complete overhaul.
- Pros:
- Cons: Terrible dining experience

The diamond in the rough
by erikandleeann at Citysearch
The service staff is wonderful, and very knowledgeable both in etiquette and the menu. The General manger Robin was fantastic. Most of the food on the menu may not sound too good, but it is in fact some of the best food my wife and I have ever eaten. The drinks were priced well and good selection. The atmosphere was very intimate and relaxing. The noise level was a bit loud but we had a wedding party going on at the time. Prices are very reasonable for the product and service you receive. Not only will we return, but if they had a membership, we would be first on the list!
- Pros: Food, Service, Drinks, Price, Atmosphere
- Cons: Noise

Had To Come to Nashville for THE BEST Halibut!!
by BobL at Citysearch
We dined at The Acorn last night and we agreed it had to rank as one of the Top 10 meals we've ever had...and we're in our 60's! Since it wasn't crowded (a Tuesay night), we decided to first have a drink at their warm, intimate bar where Steve was more than accommodating...and makes an excellent Mohito. After just 15 minutes, we felt like we had known him for years...and he new the menu inside & out. The bluecheese w/ pepper & berry jam and toast points appetizer we had at the bar was simply incredible.
When we decided to sit down in the main dining room, we were pleased to discover that Steve was also going to be our waiter. We had pretty much decided on our entres and we were not disappointed. We split their delicious endive w/ Granny Smith apple salad with apple vinigrete...I should say they split it for us, serving it on two unique rectangular plates. Plenty for two! My companion had their scallops which were plump, perfectly cooked and in a light sauce to die for. I had their crusted halibut with marinated green beans and chopped, grilled sweet potatoes...and like I said above, it was the best piece of halibut I've ever had. It was a very ample size and tasted like it had been caught five minutes before it landed on the grill, also in a delicious, semi-sweet sauce.
If you live in Nashville or plan to visit, do yourself a BIG favor and make a reservation at The Acorn...you will not be disappointed!!
- Pros: Delicious & Creative Menu; Cozy Atmosphere; Excellent Servic
- Cons: Dining Room Could Use Some Decorative Green Plants
