What People Are Saying About Trace Restaurant

In Short – With its contemporary furniture, black-clad servers and glass front walls that slide up in the warmer months, this local hot spot has an upscale atmosphere. Much of the clientele consists of country-music industry professionals from nearby Music Row. The menu includes a mix of pasta, steaks and salads. In the late evening hours, the restaurant morphs into a bar scene.

The Trace is now CLOSED.

I just tried to call to make reservations today, and the number is disconnected and their website has been removed. I finally found a phone number for their previous Private Party/Banquet Planner, and she informed me that they have closed and a new restaurant will be moving in. So, we'll see!
- Pros: N/A

Righting the ship
by nshfoodcritic
I recently dined at the Trace after taking a bit of a hiatus, and was so happy that what once was a Nashville hot spot, seems to be picking back up. The food quality has improved, and the presentations are, of course, top notch. Bar service can be a bit slow on a busy night, but overall I enjoyed myself. I'll keep coming back.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Drink prices

Good restaurant, great atmosphere, good service
by sarahbubbles
I had dinner at the Trace last week with four of my girl friends and we had a great experience. We all like good food and we were not disappointed. Our bruschetta and calamari apps were great. All of our meals with outstanding. I have never seen such great presentation on a plate, except in New York. I had the Grouper with bacon and pear sauce, incredible. It took a little while for our meals to get there, but the server kept us informed and explained it takes a little longer, because everything is made from scratch. It took a total of about 25 minutes, not too bad in all. The wine list was a little overwhelming, but they had enough wines by the glass, that we were able to try several different wines. The pours on the wine were very generous compared to what I had at Watermark the week before. Dessert was just as good, we had the chocolate molten cake and white chocolate bread pudding. Wow, these were hot and rich. A great way to end the meal. We ended up stayiing for about an hour after dinner. The place was packed with people in the bar area. We met a lot of fun people. We will back back soon.
- Pros: atmosphere, food, wine list
- Cons: busy
