Flyte World Dining & Wine

Great atmosphere & Food

by chesterlover at Citysearch

Flyte is definitely one of Nashville's best restaurants. Our office has become such fans we hosted our Christmas Party there recently and it was fantastic. The food is phenomenal (the menu is seasonal but their Seared Scallops are divine) and they also have an impressive wine list so it's a great place to hang and have a drink. Flyte has a great atmosphere and a really friendly and courteous wait staff that is just stellar in every way. Whether it's a special occasion or just a romantic date night, Flyte can't be beat!

• Pros: Fantastic Scallops - Seasonal Menu

Marvelous Experience

by jaguar2571 at Citysearch

Our dinner at Flyte was a particularly remarkable experience. It was our first time there, and we were impressed by the space. We started with a couple of flights of wine and selections from the antipasti menus. In a word - awesome. The wine list is broad and imaginative, and the chorizo, hummus, capicola and lavash were delicious. We both ordered a halibut entre and found it delightful. As marvelous as the food and was, the service actually outshone the fare. The staff are exceptionally friendly, professional and knowledgeable, but they really went above and beyond the call of duty in handling a wine order mix-up that was mostly my fault in a very gracious and professional manner.

This was a splendid example of the type of superb service that will ensure that customers return to Flyte. It was a delightfulful evening, and we recommend Flyte to anyone who appreciates world-class food, wine and splendid service.

• Pros: Awesome food & wine, even better service
• Cons: None

The best food in town! Highly Recommended!

by ssalow09 at Citysearch

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and decided to try Flyte for dinner. We had passed it a few times while driving through the city and always thought it was a quaint and trendy looking spot.

Our dining experience was amazing from the moment that we stepped in the door. The atmosphere is warm and friendly.The candles, art and decor was a perfect cross between a fine dining restaurant and a trendy art studio with the open ceilings and brickwork.

Our server was very knowledgeable and able to recommend fantastic wines, champagne and dishes.

The dishes were some of the most inventive I've ever seen, and by far the best food I have had in Nashville!

Each dish was bursting with color and flavor! I had the Halibut and my husband had the duck- both prepared perfectly and tasted sensational.

The owner and staff were so accommodating and genuinely cared about their guests. The owner visited our table making sure our experience met expectations and chatted with us a bit about the history of the restaurant.

All in all we were blown away with this little restaurant. Everything met our expectations. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a great dining experience or even happy hour at the bar!

• Pros: atmosphere, amazing food, fabulous staff
• Cons:  not walking distance if you live downtown

Exceptional in every way

by MasiLover at Citysearch

Flyte is a restaurant so good and so inventive that you'd think you were walking into one of the best places in lower Manhattan instead of Nashville. Not only are the dishes ridiculously thoughtful and satisfying, but there is absolutely no air of pretension or snobbery about it. Flyte and its staff are concerned with only one thing -- creating a full dining experience; the likes of which exists nowhere else in Nashville.

The key to really enjoying your visit is to let the chef take you on a culinary journey, and to trust that everything will be top notch. I admit that some of the dishes pushed me to try things that I might not have picked out on my own, and the rewards for my trust were many. I found myself enjoying foods and dishes that seemed intellectually counter intuitive. It is this mastery of palette that pervades everything from the antipasti all the way through to dessert. Plus they accommodated my extreme food sensitivities in a way no other restaurant in Nashville has been able to do. Believe me, this is no easy feat.

The staff made my girlfriend's birthday very memorable, and the food is priced such that it doesn't just have to be a place for special occasions. Go! Now!

• Pros: Attention to every detail, world-class chef, underpriced
• Cons: No stomach is big enough to hold all the choices!

FLYTE SOARS!

by robertalisa at Citysearch

Flyte is unique and amazing–not to be missed!!! The food and service are exceptional (thanks, Will!), and the staff is knowledgable and enthusiastic. The bar martinis are creative and tasty, and the wine list, including by the glass, is huge and interesting. The food, in addition to being delicious, is natural and fresh. Our pork was the best we’ve ever tasted, the trio/flyte of salads tasted freshly picked, and each had its own unique blend of flavors. If you’re ever in Nashville, get to Flyte!

• Pros: IMPECCABLE SERVICE & PHENOMENAL FOOD!
• Cons: NONE

I have been to Flyte many times, and have never had any complaints.... It just keeps getting better and better!Since the weather has warmed up, my girlfriends and I have taken advantage of the patio and the awesome happy hour prices on the bar menu and drinks. We have tried just about everything on the menu.... and it is ALL excellent!

The staff at Flyte may be the best around. It is not often you go out and have people taking care of you like these guys do, over and over again! It is definately my favorite place to EAT, DRINK and be MERRY in Nashville......

Great Food & Wine

by IndianPurple at Citysearch

Every time I travel to Nashville I make time to visit Flyte. It's a great place to meet friends and have an outstanding dinner with the best wine list in Nashville. I frequent restaurants in NYC and Flyte ranks right up there with them. The menu is always exciting and the service is polite, pleasant, and knowledgeable. Plus the last time I was there I was seated near Bob Seger!!!!!!

You never know who you'll run into at Flyte!!!!!

• Pros: Quality & Service
• Cons: Only one location

Absolutely Fabulous Experience!! It's a must try...

by JRob0324 at Citysearch

OMG... One of the best dining experiences I have had! The food, the wine, the service, the atmosphere - It was all encompassing. I use citysearch all the time, but this is only the second review I have written (the first for dining) which hopefully says how outstanding this restaurant was. It might be hard to keep it short b/c everyone there deserves a shout out! Last night, based on previous reviews, I took my out of town manager, my physician, and his wife to Flyte. Each one of us feels the same way about our experience... First, the bartender (Joseph?) took the time to listen to the type of wine I was looking for and presented me with a couple of options - and introduced my to one of the best Old World White Wines I have every had (and I drink wine!!) and some sweet potatoe fries while I waited for my guests to arrive. It was a delight to sit and wait while enjoying the decor and the music. When we sat down, our server Will took over and just made our night. His personality was perfect - not a know-it-all (even though he Really Did know it all) and not overbearing (was Always There but never hovered over us). We took his suggestions to heart and enjoyed some of the best food (from fabulous appetizers to the amazing entrees to the delicious deserts) that we have ever enjoyed. That original wine (2005 Gramona Gessami) I had at the bar ended up being a table favorite with two bottles being uncorked!! He even suggested a port with desert that was perfect - And I don't even drink port wine! I just can't say enough - except one last thing - a special thanks to Executive Chef Jake Sterns (who visited our table twice) and Pastry Chef Erica Waksuma that also came by. Their creations were not only delicious, but beautifully presented. And NO, I don't work there - I asked for everyone's information so that I could give respect where it was due... Thanks to all of you - You'll see me again and again... Julie

• Pros: All of It.
• Cons: None

Solid choice for foodies

by sourcingone at Citysearch

Great service, exotic takes on Americana cuisine, amazing wine list are all great reasons to visit Flyte. We've been there more times than I can count on numerous visits to BNA and never been disappointed. The Scotts have it down - simple as that. The menu is broad enough yet not so expansive that quality suffers.

No other restaurant in town equals their wine selection + reasonable price + attentive service.

• Pros: Spectacular presentation; creative menu; expansive wine offering

One of the best dining experiences in Nashville; food was incredible and service second to none

by Ghostryder1 at Citysearch

We dined at Flyte for the first time on 1/17/09. We had plenty of time, arriving at 5:00 and had an 8:00 show at TPAC. We heard about Flyte from Zola's personnel, who recommended it as another fine establishment in Nashville. We completely agree. Our server was Joseph and he was there as often as we needed. He moved here from New Orleans, and it was evident that he is a professional server as he made our dining experience incredibly pleasant. Nashville needs more attentive people like him. He suggested some different wines from their list of over 100 by the glass. We tried a couple of them and chose a favorite for dinner. We started with the Chickpea encrusted cauliflower, which he recommended. It was great - crispy and spicy, never knew you could combine chickpeas and cauliflower. We then had a couple of fabulous salads - will probably have the flyte of salads next time so we can try all 3. We had the pan seared Kingfish and the Turkey. The combination of Kingfish, delicate sauces and goat cheese polenta was incredible. It was just enough food to not be stuffed or need leftovers. It was just right. The turkey entree was incredibly moist - and did not remind you of Thanksgiving dinner. They also serve water chilled and not over ice, which we love. We definitely recommend this restaurant for its food and service. It is nice to go to a local Nashville restaurant, which may be highly priced, and have the food and service exceed expectations.
