What People Are Saying About Tayst Restaurant

In Short – Brought to you by veterans of the similarly upscale Midtown Cafe, this former furniture showroom near Vanderbilt has a cozy bar area in front and a spacious dining room in back. The dining room is elegant with brick-red walls, candlelit sconces and fresh daisies. The menu features a mix of small, complex appetizers ("First Tayst"), simple salads ("Second Tayst") and generous seafood and meat entrees ("Main Tayst"). Item are paired with wine selections.

Great for Foodies
by lstover37235 at Citysearch
Tayst is one of my all time favorite restaurants. My fiance and I go anytime we are celebrating something and whenever our families are in town.
Their menu changes seasonally and some things are better than others. (I always ask the server what they recommend.)
My all time favorites were the bacon ice cream with shrimp beniegets, and the braised short ribs. They also have the best creme brulee ever.
I always get the recommended wine pairing and it's always fabulous. (I also love that they do half glasses - I can't usually drink a whole one.)
- Pros: creative menu, wine
- Cons: price

One of my favorites in the world

Tayst is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is outstanding. I am from Cleveland, Ohio but always make sure I head to Tayst when I am in town. I had the chef's tasting (Value menu #3) on Thursday and then a la carte on Friday. I loved that short rib...mmmm. The food is so fresh and innovative. I can't wait until I can get south again.
- Pros: great food and service
- Cons: none

Good for those who know

What a great place. We just moved to Nashville and are trying to find the top restaurants in the city. I consider myself to be a good critic of what good food means - i've been to several restaurants for tastings by Emeril, worked as a student under Food Network chef's and traveled around Europe to sample the top restaurants (as a vacation) . After reading reviews of several places in Nashville - I've come to believe that a lot of people who write reviews consider places like Chili's and The Olive Garden to be "good". Tayst was wonderful - my husband and I have eaten dinner there several times. The wine and beer selection is great. Short and to the point - you pay for quality. If you want to feel "full" - go to a buffet. Or McDonalds? The idea is to live healthy, eat healthy and feel healthy. This is a place you go to for an evening of fine dining: good food, good drinks and good conversation. If you want a 45 minute meal go somewhere else. If you understand what higher class dinning is all about, you will have no bones to pick with this place. Good timing when bringing out the meal, intelligent staff, perfect proportions and excellent flavors. The chef does wonders with what is available to him. Kudos to Tayst!
- Pros: certified green, good food, drinks and staff
