  • Restaurant Week Lunch!

    US$35.00 per person

    Feb 24, 2025 - Mar 2, 2025
    Restaurant Week at Blue Aster Nashville offers a delightful $35 lunch menu that includes a choice of prosecco, urban juice, or soda to complement the meal. The menu is thoughtfully crafted with a mix of savory and sweet options: Ribolita: A comforting Italian-inspired soup featuring white beans, Tuscan kale, and sourdough bread in a rich tomato broth, topped with parmesan. It's hearty, flavorful, and a perfect start to the meal. Mortadella Sandwich: A delicious combination of mortadella (Italian sausage), creamy burrata, pistachio pesto, and sourdough focaccia. It's a savory sandwich with a hint of nutty richness from the pesto and a smooth texture from the burrata. Chocolate Moon Pie: A sweet and indulgent dessert to end the meal, offering a chocolate treat that’s reminiscent of the classic marshmallow-filled dessert but with a gourmet twist. This menu showcases Blue Aster's knack for blending comfort with creativity, all while offering a great value for Restaurant Week.

    US$75.00 per person

    Feb 24, 2025 - Mar 2, 2025
    The Restaurant Week menu at Blue Aster Nashville offers a sophisticated dining experience that blends rich flavors and inventive techniques, all presented with exceptional creativity. Duck Confit Cigar: A stunning starter where tender duck confit is wrapped in a delicate, crispy pastry shell. It's complemented by a chili gastrique, which delivers a sweet and tangy contrast, while the za'atar and foie ganache provide earthy, aromatic depth, elevating the dish with complexity. Cavatelli: This pasta dish features perfectly cooked cavatelli, combined with scallop conservas that lend a subtle, briny richness. The XO sauce adds umami complexity, while fresh chives introduce a burst of vibrancy, creating a perfectly balanced and savory plate. Secreto Ibérico: A luxurious cut of Spanish Ibérico pork, this dish is accompanied by celeriac espuma, which adds a light, airy texture. The amba (a spiced mango sauce) offers a unique tangy kick, while Marcona almonds introduce crunch and depth. Nasturtium provides a peppery freshness, bringing harmony to the rich, savory pork. Cereal Milk Crème Brûlée: A playful and nostalgic take on the classic dessert, the crème brûlée is infused with cereal milk, evoking the comforting flavors of milk-soaked cereal. The caramelized sugar top gives it the traditional sweetness and texture, offering a satisfying, comforting end to the meal. Each dish on this Restaurant Week menu at Blue Aster offers a harmonious blend of bold, sophisticated flavors and innovative culinary techniques, making for a truly elevated dining experience.

    We had a large group that was winding down from a tiring bachelorette party weekend in Nashville. Blue Aster was a perfect venue to relax, eat excellent food, and enjoy beautiful ambiance. The service was a little slow, probably due to lack of staff.

    We live in Nashville and were in the mood for trying an upscale continental restaurant. We chose Blue Aster in the Conrad Hilton. Although the menu is not extensive, it had a nice variety of dishes, each of which was prepared in a creative way. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding (Bronwyn was our server). Midway through dinner, a pianist began to perform in the adjacent lobby which added a very nice touch to the ambiance. Although a bit on the expensive side, the experience made it worthwhile. We will definitely be back!

    Overall enjoyable experience! Waiter was attentive and not overbearing. Food was outstanding and seasoned well, though a bit heavy with all four dishes ordered having a sauce or dip. Maybe a pallet cleanser between courses would help?! Don’t view this as a complaint, but a suggestion to improve. With tickets to a TPAC show, the staff made sure to serve without any rush and have us out the door to our show. Kudos!

    We were in town to attend a show, and staying at the Conrad Hilton. Because of the timing of the show, we decided to eat at the Blue Aster, which is the restaurant in the hotel. Because of it being a hotel based restaurant, we didn't know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised with our dining experience. Since it was early, there weren't many people in the restaurant, so it was a nice, quiet dinner. The food was outstanding, and the drinks and wine were excellent. And most notably, the server was amazing (as was the host). Bronwyn was our server, and her professional skills, knowledge of the offerings, and personality really made the evening. We won't hesitate to eat there again.
