What People Are Saying About Eastland Cafe

The Editor

In Short – Polished enough to impress on special occasions, yet priced to encourage return visits, the cafe creates a refined dining experience in an unpretentious atmosphere. The menu is an ever-changing secret of the house, led by a rotating trio of all-star chefs Willy Thomas (Park Cafe), Hal Holden-Bache (Nick & Rudy's), and newcomer Nathan Wells. The open kitchen and small dining area lend a friendly feel, allowing the enthusiasm of the proprietors to permeate the crowd.

Worst Hostess Experience EVER. I won't be going back.

by lttiddle2u at Citysearch

So, this was actually the second time I've eaten at the Eastland Cafe and thanks to the hostess at the front door, It will definitely be my last.

We happened to be the last two to arrive for birthday party in which a reservation had been made for 8 people. When we walked in and informed this pathetic excuse for a hostess who we were with, she proceeded to put her hand on her hip and lecture for at least 3 or 4 minutes about how in the "restaurant business" it reflected poorly on her if everyone didn't arrive on time. and blah blah blah blah blah. (As if anything could've reflected more poorly than her own behavior.) One of the other guests finally told her to shut her mouth and not to utter another word. Which thankfully, she did.

We ate, drank and enjoyed that birthday party until almost 10:00 and believe it or not, at no time was I worried that the world would come to an abrupt end because a few folks were late for a reservation.

It is a shame that an establishment such as this which does have good food, good servers, would employ a hostess with such an attitude. I know of 8 people who will never step through that door again.

  • Pros: good food
  • Cons: HOSTESS WAS HORRIBLE.

Best spot in all of nashville

by mooresas at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I pick this spot for dates, anniversaries, or just because we crave it! I have been with parties and it was great for that too! Goat cheese brulee is a must have appetizer. All the food is large portions and great combinations of flavors... I cannot rave about this place enough! John is funny and knows the menu well! Linsey is a great bartender, and cute! YOU MUST TRY this place!

  • Pros: fabulous food, big portions, John our server,Linsey bartende

Consistent!

by janetandpaul at Citysearch

Happy Hour - Good Value, Consistent, Good Bar Atmosphere, noise level acceptable, Cocktails mostly strong - 2 will sort you out nicely after a hard day's work, $5 appetisers that will fill you up. A great 1.5 hr unwind after work and cheaper than cooking at home. Qualities that are the norm but sadly lacking at most Nashville bars.

  • Pros: Food/Parking/Staff
  • Cons: Happy Hour too Short
