Flyte World Dining & Wine

Excellent Food & Wine. Our favorite dining in Nashville! This is our favorite restaurant for date night and before events at TPAC and the Schermerhorn. Menu selections are always fantastic and the wine selection is simply amazing. So many wonderful selections, we must return to try them all! The atmosphere is excellent as well. Maybe we will see you there soon.…

disappointed. After reading all of the amazing reviews of this restaurant, I was super excited when my husband surprised me by taking me there for my birthday dinner. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Great ambiance. The server was exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu and the service was amazing. Here's where the problem lies...the food. My husband ordered the venison and I had the New York Strip. I guess I should preface this next point by saying that I am by no means overweight, nor do I eat large amounts of food at any given time. The steak was ok. It was cooked medium rare, as I had asked, but the flavor was lacking. After boasting that they use organic, locally grown produce when available I was surprised to find that the only produce on my plate was ONE tiny baby carrot and two mushrooms. The presentation was beautiful, but the lack of flavor and portioning made me question why our dinner(two entrees and two glasses of wine) plus tip was over $100.

After leaving Flyte, my husband and I went to Rumba for dessert, but ended up splitting a burger instead. A little unsettling when you can eat a burger after spending so much on food.…

Felt Like Being Back in Chicago!. My fiancé and I tried Flyte for the first time Friday night, 1/21/11. We had driven by it a few times and we hadn’t made it in because as it turns out they’re closed on Sundays and Mondays. Our loss. As fairly recent transplants to Nashville, we’ve been excited to try new restaurants, but after having lived in Chicago, the food we have found has been good but we really hadn’t been wowed yet…until we went to Flyte! From the moment you walk in your senses are enticed by the inviting ambiance, the delectable smells, and the courteous service.

We had a fairly simple meal: pumpkin soup, salad (I had the goat cheese, he had the beet), filet, and split the chocolate marshmallow cluster for dessert. We paired our meal with the sparkling flight to start (life’s too short not to drink champagne :)), a bottle of 2005 Cedarville Petite Sirah, and Cockburn's 20 Year Old Tawny Porto for dessert. After working in wine I loved how approachable their wine list was—from the novice to the sommelier everyone could find something to intrigue their palate. From course to course the meal was incredible and seemed to keep getting better as we went. What made it a more special experience was the service and attention to detail. Kenny, Scott, Scott, and Jen – thank you for such a memorable evening!

If you’ve made it this far in this review, I entrust that you’ll be a savvy Citysearch/Yelp/etc. reader. My experience at Flyte actually inspired me to sign up for a Citysearch account, LOL. I was surprised to read the couple of less-than-stellar reviews. I encourage you to take them with a grain of salt. After 10 years of fine dining experience, respect your passionate restaurant entrepreneur, by letting them know that you might have had a lackluster experience rather than ripping them (Aimee Young specifically). Most likely, they’ll be as disappointed as you and will be committed to making it right.…

Excellent Meal and Service. Saturday night, 1/15/11 another couple, my wife, and I ate dinner for the first time at Flyte. The meal was very good and the waiter’s knowledge of the food preparation was great and his knowledge of the wine list was even better. For the second bottle, we could not make up our mind between two of them and they allowed us a tasting so we could decide. We had dinner in the kitchen area where we watched the chef and his team hard at work. The atmosphere was great, not to loud so we were able to converse easily as we enjoyed the show and the food. The service by our waiter and others was Outstanding. Our water glasses were never empty, nor were our wine glasses. It was just a little pricey, but over all worth it.…
