Editorial Review for The Acorn Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
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.

I was recently in Nashville for my cousin's graduation from Vanderbilt and my family had a fantastic time at The Acorn. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and the service was excellent. Our entire group loved the atmosphere (particularly the artwork throughout the building) and we enjoyed ourselves throughout our evening there. I had an Asian-style salmon dish which was simply delicious and the rest of my family left raving about their dishes. All in all, I would highly recommend this restaurant- you're in for a wonderful experience altogether!
Pros: Service, ambience, food

My family was celebrating my nephew's graduation and my sister-in-law made reservations for us at the Acorn. I was excited to experience one of Nashville's restaurants it being my first visit to this beautiful city. I'm sure I'll return to Nashville but not to the Acorn. The staff was very polite and helpful but the restaurant seemed very run down. The elevator which carried my Mother-in-law upsides to the patio broke down with her in it. The fan located over our table was broken. It was a very warm evening and a fan would have been very nice. The little lights over our section of the patio were also broken. Now onto the food, it was awful. I ordered the lamb which was overcooked and dry, and the potatoes had the consistency and taste of reconstituted potatoes flakes. The rest of us had similar issues with the food. Over cooked, tasteless, tough, cold etc. We did have children with us and there was no child menu, which was not the Acorn's fault but they provided penne pasta w/butter and cheese for $9 a plate. Little pricey for boxed pasta. It was a sticky situation, if it had not been a celebration with 15 people I would have sent my food back or just paid for my drink and left. Overall we dropped over $500 for dinner and I must say if we had been in Atlanta we could have had an incredible dinner at "Bones" or "Chops" and still had money left over for a "Frosty Orange" at the Varsity.
Pros: The staff were very friendly>
Cons: The building was run down and the food was awful.
