Radius 10

Tasty, Attentive, Loud

by madelineburns at Citysearch

I had a great dinner here - the special was sort of a pad thai pompano - but it does add up faster than a sushi bar. I still can't figure out how we spent $160 in less than an hour. But anyway! The food was great and our waiter was attentive - we had to be out by a certain time, and he got us out in time. The room is insanely loud - we were the ONLY people in the back room and we STILL couldn't hear ourselves . Here's my thing: I'm FABULOUS and I need the people at my table to know it. Work on that. Otherwise: great.

• Pros: Cuisine, Service
• Cons: Noise level, Hilariously expensive

Best restaurant in town and amazing service!

i cant say enough about the great experiences i have had at radius10. The staff is always super friendly, but not overbearing. Some nashville restaurants have these servers that want to share their whole life story with you and I appreciate staff that is professional and allow me to enjoy the company i am with. The food however is to DYE for, i swear i have gone twice by myself to kick t he cravings i have for it! The bar is great for solo dining, bartenders always remember me. Sorry about the other review saying the portions were too small, wake up to 2008! restaurants with "enough for 4" are the reason it is hard to get good food and americans are all overwieght! I would much prefer high quality, creative food and NOT enough for 2 people in each entree.

• Pros: best food in town, great service
• Cons: i cant afford it everyday!

Perfect shrimp & scallops! Fluffy, creamy, 'cloud-like' grits! Solid filet.

Had an excellent meal at Radius 10 on Saturday ~6:30p. We made reservations ~2 hours before, and were promptly seated at a quiet table in the back room. Much more romantic and quieter than the front / bar room.

We had a basic brie cheese plate to start. Best thing was the dressing on the greens, very nice and slightly sweet.

Solid wine list (if a tad pricey).

For dinner we had the Shrimp & Scallops and the Filet.

The grits with the shrimp were AMAZING! Best ever. Truly the highlight of the meal. I had to close my eyes to absorb the heavenly flavor! Like floating away on a cloud!

You will also FLIP over the shiitake mushrooms that graced both plates.

Portions were generous -- I ate my whole plate because the flavor was so incredible -- and I was too full to even glance at dessert!

Prompt, courteous service.

Bravo!! Well done!! Highly recommended.

• Pros: Grits, grits, grits! Valet parking. Prompt service.

King of the Hill

The food is fantastic but the dining experience is negatively impacted by the inept design of the restaurant space. The surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings) are not designed to absord sound, and a full house generates enough background noise to interfere with the enjoyment of the meal. This is a well thought out menu with variety and flair. The crab salad with watermellon, key lime curd and avacado is a must try summer first course, but the escargot with basil fed snails, wild mushrooms, and parsely lemon puree is a year 'round first course delight. The entrees included a "Low Country" Shrimp & Scallop with creamy grits, roasted corn, forest mushroom & Asparagus ragout, and a Moroccan Spiced Lamb Shank with harissa, baba, lemon, olives, mint and natural jus. Both were execellent, but you got the sense that everything coming out of the kitchen seemed to be well received by all of the tables around us. We ate at several restaurants during our short stay in Nashville (including Zola & Watermark) and the food served at Radius10 was King of the Hill.

Not good with reservations

by billy8271 at Citysearch

Party of 10, had reservations at 8:30. We arrived a little after 8 to have drinks before dinner. We checked in with the host stand when we arrived. We were told great, just let them know when we are ready. About 8:25 we told them we were ready. They said it would be just a few minutes. About 8:45 we asked again. Still the same response. 9:00 the same response, 9:15 the same response along with "we got you covered". 9:25 we finally sat down.....this was 55 minutes past our reservation and and hour and 25 minutes past the time we walked in the door. This is unacceptable even for a Saturday night and it boils down to ill trained hosts and poor dining room management. I will say that our server was great. Very attentive. However, no one from management stopped by to apologize for our delay. Once we sat down it was as if it was business as usual for the restaurant. A simple apology would have sufficed. One of my guests did get his bar tab covered, but this was done on the sly and not offered to anyone else even though we all had to wait. I do love the food here, but it will probably be a while before I go back.

• Pros: great food, great wait staff
• Cons: poor dining room management & host station, reservations don't count
