Gray & Dudley

The food & drinks are absolutely fantastic across the board, but the food comes out of the kitchen SO SLOWLY. I went there twice this week (once JUST for the Mac & cheese- it's the best in the city), and at one point on Saturday night at 6pm, there were 4 tables in my eyesight ALL with zero food plates on them. My party of four had to be there for 2 hours on Wednesday night, not by choice, just for a weeknight attempted quick dinner. Do not go here hungry, plan to go in the hour that you might be pre-hungry.

We stayed at the hotel for Tn vs Va football game. Upon arrival several of us met in the bar before heading out and I had a lavender drink that was wonderful! Judging by what I noticed others were drinking it was very popular as well. I felt like they should've served in in a martini glass rather than small champagne glass, but still wonderful! We ordered 3 dips with homemade dips and handcut fries as appetizers. They were also wonderful! The people working there were also very friendly and welcoming!!

We didn't have reservations because our original dinner plans fell through for a birthday dinner and they made room for us! They staff here are absolutely incredible! The atmosphere is stunning, anyone who enjoys art and history should absolutely check out their galleries at the very least. The food is so well thought out and evolved, the pairings elevated each dish perfectly. We had a party of 5 and ordered the dry Aged steak, the Market fish (I died), the Duck, the half chicken and a myriad of sides, asparagus, potatoes, the french onion dip, the Brussel sprouts - even if you don't like them, order them because you will like these. For dessert we split the Blueberry cheesecake and cookies. Hands down my favorite meal I've had in Nashville.

Really liked this place. Great food with lots of good flavors. Dry aged steak was cooked perfectly and paired so well with the chive mash and asparagus. Had a bite of the chicken too and it was super moist and seasoned well. Service was amazing. Cheesecake and cookies were also so good. Really liked the lemon mousse on top of the cheesecake, something I haven't had before. Also, in a really cool location with the hotel gallery. Somewhat spendy, but it's a very nice place! Definitely recommend!
