- JJasonLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food was fantastic! Our server was great! Drinks were great! Ambience was great! Did I say great? Well I’m at a lost for words! We are constantly underwhelmed by Nashville’s food but this place was under the radar! It’s severely under rated! We were arguing about what to order because everything sounded so good and we ended up planning what to eat on our next visit! Thank you Adele Team!More infoAdele'sPrice: Expensive• American• The Gulch•4.7

From the moment we arrived, everything about the experience was exceptional. We ordered the Australian Wagyu, and it was hands down one of the best pieces of meat I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, it was tender and practically melted in my mouth—setting a new standard for what steak should be. The sides and appetizers were just as impressive. The brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection, packed with flavor and just the right amount of crispiness. The brûlée corn was a delightful surprise—sweet, savory, and creamy with a beautifully caramelized topping. And the lobster ravioli? Absolutely divine. Rich, decadent, and perfectly balanced, it was a dish I’ll be dreaming about for a long time. Harpers truly delivers a dining experience that feels special in every way. If you’re in Nashville and want an unforgettable meal, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to return!More infoHarper'sPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.8
- KKevinvipNashville •33 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoJacob & Lewis were excellent! The experience is just what you expect from Jeff Ruby's. From the cocktails, Godfather Roll appetizer, 8 oz petite fillets, baked mac & cheese, asparagus and sautéed mushrooms all were prepared with attention to detail and delicious. Each steak was perfectly prepared from rare to medium plus! The baked mac & cheese was the best! Our dessert, crème brûlée, and Espresso Martinis capped off an awesome dining experience! Highly recommend for a special occasion or date night!More infoJeff Ruby's Steakhouse - NashvillePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.9
- CCoryDenver / Colorado •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst time at the Hampton social and it was a good time for real! I had a party of 12 and the staff accommodated us very well. The food was great, we ordered several appetizers, and many other things from the menu. We’ll be back for sure!More infoThe Hampton Social - NashvillePrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.7
- TTraciBaton Rouge / Lafayette •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoIncredible service from start to finish. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, so our seating was upgraded when we arrived without us even asking. We were also offered complimentary champagne by our waiter, who was extremely knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. Everything we had tasted delicious and the espresso martini was spot on. Possibly the best dining experience I've ever had.More infoThe Finch - NashvillePrice: Moderate• American• The Gulch•4.6
