    Geist is a must do location for Nashville. Their food and presentation was some of the best I’ve seen. Their service was exceptional. It truly was an amazing culinary experience and I don’t say that lightly as a master chef.

    Enjoyed the lamb loin entry, it was quite good, cooked as agreed and portioned well. The fig salad for appetizer was portioned well and tasty - I should have asked for dressing on the side as it was applied heavily. The beet salad appetizer my spouse had was also good. The scallops - listed as appetizer, but spouse had as their entre - were tender and cooked nicely (which can be a challenge with scallops to keep them tender and not chewy), however they were significantly over-salted so she ate maybe half - would have sent them back had the server been around a bit more and maybe asked. Service was decent, don’t be in a rush for sure and our server had five tables that I could see her waiting on, including a party of 6or7, possibly one or two in the room I could not see…probably a table or two too many, but she was pleasant, professional and navigated my food allergies well so a couple minor items here and there no big deal. Our dinner for two: beet salad, fig salad, scallop appetizer for a main and lamb loin, only one cocktail and no wine was $189 with tip.

    Went to Geist for my birthday dinner and they took very good care of us :). Although some portions were slightly smaller than expected, the food was mouth-watering and delicious. Drinks were yummy, the champagne garden was beautiful, and our server was amazing.

    Everything was great till we had the dessert which I was looking forward to. It was so hard that we have to pound it with knife to break it. And hurt my teeth when I took a bite. The server did say they are in the process of making it better since they heard a lot of complaints about this dessert.
