Great experience from start to finish.The setting is very clean and trendy.The service is friendly and attentive.The food was exceptional from the bread to the appetizers to the entrees to the desert.The libations were almost too good and there was a great bourbon selection.One of my favorite spots in Nashville.

We are honored to be among your favorites, Clinton! We can't wait to see you again soon! Cat Thompson Assistant General Manager The Optimist - Le Loup - Star Rover Sound Nashville.TN
Husband and I had an incredible dining experience here.From a dimly lit cozy vibe to the food and service, everything was spectacular. We ordered the baked oysters, lobster roll, fish fried rice (pleasantly surprised with the texture and flavour profiles!) and kale salad.Everything was perfection. Wish we could go back to try the rest of the menu and visit the upstairs cocktail bar (Le Loup had great reviews). Service was top notch- our server was extremely friendly and attentive.Thanks for making this a very memorable meal for us! Highly recommend 11/10.
5 ***** our best dining experience in Nashville in many years! We went here on our 40th anniversary for the first time and it was amazing. We got there early and Sara served us at the downstairs bar. We then found the upstairs “Le Loo” Parisian lounge and Brianne & Ryan took great care of us - both bars serve food and they have excellent oysters and small plates. Brian was our waiter and was also excellent. Cat is the manager for the entire facility and she stopped by three times to make sure our evening was going well. The food was excellent.We started with The Opportunist and then both the Mahi (excellent…wife said it was the best she’d ever had). The staff was as good as it gets throughout the restaurant. Everyone was personable and delightful to interact with.
