    This evening we hosted our Sales Team for an annual holiday dinner at Geist. We were treated so rudely by your hostess upon arrival. I arrived at 4:20 and was told you didn’t open until 4:30 which was fine. Our reservation was at 4:30 so I waited outside. We had a reservation for six guests and at 4:30 three of us walked in… to be told that the “majority” of our party needed to be present. Isn’t 50% the majority? We waited around for 15 mins awkwardly staring at an empty restaurant. I approached the hostess stand again requesting to be seated. I was given some lame excuse about the chef wanting all food orders at the same time… which I understand but also think putting your chefs wants over your patrons is bad business. I told her we would like to be seated and order drinks. She quickly mentioned a $60 per person minimum that we STILL cannot find listed anywhere. It was such an insulting and frankly low brow comment to make to guests. We were finally seated at 4:55 and spent well over this unknown minimum on food and drinks. Our server was fabulous and even gave us a free dessert due to the ridiculous and embarrassing situation over being given our reserved seat in your empty restaurant. Your hostess needs a lesson in hospitality and your policies over not seating a full party in an empty restaurant are laughable. The entire room had only three tables seated until after 6:30pm. Why would we ever be made to wait? We are all also in the hospitality industry in downtown Nashville and take pride in accommodating our guests and ensuring they have a wonderful experience with us. You should do the same. We will not be back.

    Fun & festive place to enjoy a lovely dinner. Worth the effort to get a reservation while they have it decorated for Christmas.

    Wow. We were skeptical on ordering the duck and lamb but they were both cooked to perfection- best of both we have ever had… and the plating was simply beautiful. We loved the ambiance of the nutcracker decor - it was magical.

    Met a few girl friends for brunch before Christmas. It was beautifully decorated, busy, and joyous inside! Food and drinks were tasty and prompt!
