   First time visiting this restaurant. Food was just ok. Unfortunately, they were out of everything we wanted. Out of our first wine option, mussels, scallops, and another dish one of our friends requested. I know it was a cool night, but they had the heater turned way to high. We couldn’t wait to get through with dinner and leave.

   We ordered the 2019 Hall by Kathryn Hall Cab from the wine list. They brought us a 2020 Hall Cab. These two wines aren’t even in the same class. A complete bait and switch. The mussel appetizer was barely warm, tough, rubbery and overloaded with fennel. The Bison Delmonico had an excessive amount of fat on it. The Prime Rib was cold and the fat had not been rendered out. It was inedible. The baked potato was cold. The butter wouldn’t even melt when we put it on it. I’m not sure how this place is still in business.

   Sever was horrible. He could not remember orders and was way too late delivering drinks. He di not listen to what was being ordered or how steaks were supposed to be prepared. Ordered a martini on the rocks and I got one up with rocks in it. Food was cold when delivered and was not cooked properly and then brought back to the table heated up instead of bringing back a new steak. Then finally brought a new steak back and it was so late we took it home. Totally unforgivable on how we were treated. The one steak should have been comped at least. Could not recommend this restaurant to anyone based on the service.

   “Mix up in the kitchen” means my husband got his meal 20 minutes before me. :(

   My daughter and I had calamari, filet, and the red snapper with a shareable side of Brussels sprouts. Everything was good but not exceptional except for the calamari and Brussels sprouts which were delicious! As for the ambience, dimming the lights would be my suggestion. I love a candle lit feeling when I’m having dinner. Overall we had a lovely dinner.

   The inside was beautiful. The signature drinks were amazing! Then the food was cooked perfectly and came in a timely manner. The Carmel cheesecake was amazing to finish!

   Beautiful space with great service. I liked the menu but my Butter Pecan Trout was disappointing. The cornbread and salad were terrific as was the filet and hand cut fries. Wonderful location with tricky parking.

   Located in downtown Nashville, Deacon’s New South offers a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. From the start, the service was exceptional—attentive, professional, and eager to ensure we had a great experience. We began with delicious cornbread and an inventive charcuterie board. While the board wasn’t traditional, it offered bold, interesting flavors that made for a fun start to the meal. For the main course, I chose the petite filet, which was cooked perfectly—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My dining companion selected the prime rib, but it was underwhelming. While tender, it lacked the depth and seasoning needed to elevate it, and a better brine would have helped. Another group member had the wedge salad with steak, which she found absolutely delicious—the steak was flavorful and paired beautifully with the crisp salad. One of us also opted for a chicken dish, but it didn’t stand out. While well-seasoned, it lacked the richness of the other dishes, making it the least memorable part of the meal. The ambiance at Deacon’s is upscale yet comfortable, with soft lighting and an open kitchen. Overall, the service, cornbread, and filet were highlights, while the prime rib and chicken left something to be desired. Deacon’s is definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re a steak lover. I’ll be back, but next time I’ll stick with the filet and try the wedge salad with steak!
