Great bar and Phenomenal restaurant

by malisu252 at Citysearch

I first visited Boundr'y's bar and loved the bartenders, atmosphere, and variety of beer and exotic drinks. I went back for dinner last night. There menu is extensive and we all loved that you get the choice of tapas or tasting portions with appetizers and tasting or entrees portions with dinner options. You can mix and match sides with all entree options, which restaurants sometimes frown upon. It was a little bit chilly so we didn't eat out, but the outdoors dining looks like a lot of fun! I went with someone who is hard of hearing and it was impossible to have a conversation because of the noise volume in the restaurant (but it was a saturday night). I highly highly recommend Boundr'y and I cannot wait to go back!!

• Pros: Great variety and cool ambience
• Cons: accoustics

Fantastic tapas, a few issues.

My wife & I went to Bound'ry last weekend and had a great time. Service was mostly good, a little inattentive at times, and there were some seasoning issues on a few items.

If the mussels are on the menu, get them... very good dish. Also, the mushroom ragout was incredible, as well as the venison chop. The mushroom garnish on the venison was waaay oversalted, but the meat itself was cooked perfectly. Cocktails are served in a very interesting way, with only about half poured in your glass. The rest is kept on ice in a small carafe so your drink doesn't get too warm while you're sipping.

• Pros: Great value, good food and drinks.
• Cons: Seasoning of the food, spotty service.

Totally Surprised

by wjennings30 at Citysearch

I ate at Boundary on Thursday night, I have been in town for about 2 months and stayed away from this place due to some of its reviews, but I must say I am not sure what people are writing about. is there another place called boundary and people confuse the 2? I walked in the door and there was a pleasant young lady greeting me, we had to wait about 15 minutes in the bar for a table, but that was ok because I was able so see the massive beer selection they have. My wife and I had a drink at the bar, and then sat at a table in what is probably one of the most eclectic dinning rooms I have ever been in. cool curtains, and neat lighting. My server said it was an apartment building at one time. We had muscles for an appetizer, and I even heard the table next to me comment on how great they smelled. I had the pork chop, and my wife had the tuna. I was pleased to see the pork chop was only cooked to medium, (I hate over cooked pork) and my wife?s tuna was a perfect rare. The desserts were cool too. They serve little bitty desserts for just a couple bucks a piece so that you can try different stuff. After dinner we were told there was a bar on the second floor, so we went up there for one more drink. The couches in that bar are a great touch. It cost me about $100 for the 2 of us including tip for the whole night.

I highly recommend this place, and I will be back many, many times.

If the restaurant was as bad as some of these reviews, then they really stepped up and fixed some stuff, or the people writing the reviews will never be happy with any restaurant they go to.

• Pros: ambience, BEER, BEER, BEER, Server knowledge
• Cons: parking

I beg you. Stay away from here. If I even help one person not go through, what I went through, my life will not be for naught. The service is soooooo bad, and when I say soooo, I mean it. Cold food, non-existent servers, over priced drinks. Yow. Marque de Sade eat you're heart out.

oh my god

by 123vickier at Citysearch

I don't understand how such a place can stay in business.

First, the service is horrible.

Second, the food is worse.

Third, the manager is not as good as the former or the latter.

Try the very old fish.

You will understand what I'm saying (if you can actually get you're food).

Wow. What happened?

by mbm_1031 at Citysearch

Ive been goint to the Boundry for years. Mostly apps and beers, from time to time, business dinners. Its always been one of my favorite places, engaging staff and excellent customer service. Ive been away from the area for a while, and when my son recently graduated high school, I suggested we do the old stand ~ by , The Boundry for dinner. What happend? Did Flyte take all the good waiters? My table was dirty, I had to request to order, and my waiter had a meltdown, so his poor overworked peer had to handle all the patio. The food order was wrong, and when it did arrive, it was tasteless.

AND theyve stopped bringing thier bread sampler in that cool horn~thing they used to have. Now they bring it in something wire mesh thing they found at Old time pottery. We didnt even eat. We bailed and went to the Trace. Boundry, you are now alienating your future customer base as well as your old one.

Wonderful experience

by aleeo at Citysearch

A group of 15 of us came in after a meeting Sunday night and sat on the beautiful patio. We enjoyed a variety of different Tapas style appetizers as well as some of their specialty drinks. The entrees that followed were impeccable as well as the service. We will be back and will recommend Boundry to all our friends!

Heaven on earth!

by jtjr at Citysearch

The energy in the restaurant is electric. The aromas coming from the open air kitchen are devine. The mussels come out of the kitchen sizzling on a hot skillet creating aroma therapy for the hungry. The lamb was grilled to prefection. The trout prepared on a cedar plank in the wood burning oven was to die for. The desserts are prepared in smaller portions so you can try three or four and they are heavenly. Professional staff, extraordinary food and beautiful decor need I say more!

Amazing!

by skellarmckellar at Citysearch

I can not begin to explain how amazing our dinning experience was last night. It started with the smiling incredibly gracious hostess who told us about her favorites on the special sheet that evening. From there we were greeted by the most astonishing waitress I have ever seen. See walked us through the menu giving the history of the sauces and exotic spices. With every dish she had a spot on wine and beer recommendation. She was entertaining and ninja like when see needed to be. Just when you thought you need to order a cocktail you would look down and out of no where there it was waiting for you. If you are a cork dork or a beer nerd you will love this place. The Palm and Mortons would be envious of the steaks on our table. Every appetiser, salad, entree, and dressert was fabulous. The attention to detail was phenomenal.

The coffee which the waitress tells us is from a local roaster was the best coffe any of us had ever tasted. I could go on and on but someone would accuse me of being on the payroll. IF you have not been you must go.

Tax write-off???

by davidjohnsons at Citysearch

I certainly hope this place which expounds to "have no boundries save the flavors across the earth," is down with the space race. It would take them less time to franchise on Mars then it did to get food and drinks to the table. Man the service is Bad! I mean, beyond not knowing who our server was, they all seemed flustered and overwelmed. This is not the fault of the server, they were nice. It just looked like they did'nt have a chance based on what I saw of how the place worked.

I've eaten all over the world. Not being from Nashville, I asked the conceire of my hotel where I should go. She said "Boundry." I wonder how much she is paid to say that.

Anyway, the food was o.k., it just took to darn long. The lamb was good. The salmon was way too small. The calamari was cold with way too little sauce.

The room itself looked cool, but the water/wine glasses were dirty. The silverware was worse.

In my business travels I've seen Nashville come a long way. You can do much better than here.

Maybe they just had an off night, but that's my experience.

• Pros: unique dining room
• Cons: chaotic hospitality
