Bourbon steak at the top of the jw Marriott is great

Last year I went to Yolan and the tasting menu with wine pairings and it was very good. Pricey but good. The dessert was the best I've ever had anywhere.

As others have said, we do steak rather well here. I would stay away from jimmy Kelly’s and E3, along with StK.

My top steak houses:
Halls- best food, good vibe.
Bourbon steak- great food and best view
Bobs- best actual steak
Kanye Prime- the sides and apps are the star of the show
Sperrys- old school quirky fun place that is solid.

If you don’t want steak specifically, there are several tasting menu type places. You would need to get on the list like now.

There are several new Italian places, a new place called Iberian pig, upscale Chinese tansuo, upscale Indian marshaun ale house, just a crazy amount of options in this town.

Just made reservations at Kanye Prime. The Bourbon Steak place didn't have anything until after 9PM more than two weeks out.

Get the house made bacon with maple cotton candy as an appetizer.

I always hate these driveby threads without any feedback so here we go......


Ate dinner Thursday night at Village Pizza in Athens, AL. Hidden gem. Think this is a Greek style pizza with a crispy, but cracker like crust. Amazingly good with a great atmosphere and local beers on draft. Can't wait to go back.

Friday AM we ate breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel we stayed in, the Noelle. It was good and convenient, but certainly not something I would have gone out of my way for if we weren't staying there.

For lunch we tried ACME. They had some unusual things on their menu. What we had was good and I'd recommend it as a venue to watch a game and drink some beers.

Dinner was catered at an event. Unremarkable.

Saturday we went to Pancake Pantry. This had a line around the block every time I went by there. Get here early if you want to get in and out pretty quick. The food was excellent and well worth what we paid, but the wait was long and cold.

Saturday night was Kayne Prime. Very modern, professional, and a well run machine. The waiter said they would turn over 400 tables that night. My wife had the A5 wagyu filet (YOLO) and I had an Australian wagyu strip along with the bacon app mentioned above. Everything was very well executed. Certainly a special occasion or business meeting kinda place.



Thanks for the help. Not sure I'd go back to Nashville unless I had to, but the food was pretty good.
