1st time at Sinatra’s and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was great, old school lounge feel. The service was great, food and drinks were very good. The alcohol was a bit over priced but expected for downtown Nashville. We enjoyed the live piano music and singing too. We will definitely be back.

We love this quaint little town restaurant that reminds me of NY or European eateries. The food was amazing, fresh, and well prepared. The ambience is cozy but not invasive. There’s a hum of conversations but not loud and jarring to disturb your dining experience. If you’re looking for fine food, a charming setting, old world feel and place to celebrate a special occasion or have a business dinner, we recommend Common Ground, Berry Hill.
