With the passion of bringing a casual, chef-inspired, dining experience to Middle Tennessee, Chefâs Market was opened by our heralded owners, Jim and Cheryl Hagy. Shortly after customers began experiencing our amazing restaurant food, they requested our f

We enjoyed our visit to Chef's market. They have a large selection of offerings from soup, salad and lots of entrees and sides. We were in the mood for burgers and they had those too, as well as sandwiches. Our burgers were cooked as ordered with nice hot fries. Lots of seating in 2 dining rooms, also nice. They have a dessert case toward the front of the place with wonderful cakes, lots of choices there as well. We took home a large piece of what they called Elvis cake. Enough for 2, chocolate cake with chocolate icing. We would return if we are back in the area. Staff were very helpful and courteous.

We found the Moby Dick by accident, while in Hendersonville, Tn. We were hungry and started looking for a place to eat, and, being so close to Nashville, we wanted to hear some live music. Turns out they don't have live music anymore but we didn't leave disappointed!The food was very good... fresh oysters, crab rangoon, lobster bisque, freshly made pork rinds (still popping) and a lettuce wedge. Our favorites were the oysters and the pork rinds. Reasonably priced.The service was excellent! Our server was very eager to make our experience memorable. We will return!

The show that made country music famous is now making its mark on Southern cuisine in a new Nashville restaurant as uniquely entertaining as the Grand Ole Opry itself. Visit for lunch or dinner, or come by after the show for dessert.

Great little restaurant. with live music. Burgers and Barbecue are key items. Macaroni and cheese was delicious. My husband loved his ribs. We all had dessert ; the pie and cheesecake are huge and easily shared. We had a quick energetic waitress. The prices are reasonable. Great place to go for tasty food and live entertainment without the crowds.

We walked over to the Nashville Palace from the Gaylord Resort at lunchtime. We visited before when we were in Nashville and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Our second trip did not disappoint. There was a really good trio performing when we arrived. They were just at the right level that you could enjoy your meal and be able to chat and still enjoy good country music. Food was delicious. I had a grilled catfish sandwich and it was amazing. Melted in your mouth. I know they do some kind of dinner show there as well. I wish we had time to check it out.

My husband and I visited this restaurant on our last night in Nashville. We went to Nashville for a vacation / convention for me, and wanted to go to an authentic southern restaurant on our last night in Nashville. We both had bison burgers with chipotle mayonnaise. They had a very small band that played bluegrass. they also had a little pond that had life catfish. there were various types of fish including catfish on the menu as well as BBQ Chicken & ribs. We had dessert; I had authentic Key Lime pie, which was absolutely delicious. I never had authentic Key Lime pie before, and I would like to learn how to make it myself; it was that good. The atmosphere was really neat as far as a real country feel. They even had a replica of a Dodge truck from the 30s. the food was excellent, the waiter Kris was excellent, it was just really a neat experience overall. I highly recommend it.

We stopped by for dinner after a football game. This was a stop worth making. Our server was Rachel, and she was phenomenal. We never waited for anything, and she checked on us frequently.  The jumbo cheese sticks are truly large. We had a chicken taco salad and chicken enchiladas with double rice, and both were tasty. The rolls were hot and served with both butter and cinnamon butter. They were brought out first, and they were so good that I missed taking a picture. I would recommend Santa Fe if you are in Nashville.

I met a friend for lunch here recently at her recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. I had a pastrami on rye sandwich with fries and it was delicious! The restaurant is very small and the tables are close together, but it is attractively decorated and offers a nice selection of desserts along with the breakfast and lunch menu. The prices were reasonable and the food quality was great.

What an amazing spot! Our AirBNB host recommended this place, and it was definitely a great spot. We stayed only five minutes from this place, and we just wanted to relax, so this was perfect. We sat outside, saw the beautiful lake, and ate their amazing food. Food was fantastic! It was a great amount - not too much or too little. Fish tacos were incredible and so was the shrimp cocktail. The servers were so friendly and fast. They truly know how to manage the crowd so well. I love this spot!Matty, thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're happy to hear we were recommended by your AirBNB host and that you enjoyed the wonderful views and great food! Our staff works hard to provide you with top quality food and service every time you come in, especially during our busy summer season! We look forward to seeing you again next time you're in town. Cheers! - Chesney
