“ This restaurant hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. They are not slow in preparing the food at all. Breads are ready as soon as you are seated. The crispy pork belly appetizer impressed me, and the pork rib eye as the main course was truly a feast for the senses. Perhaps the most accurate comment from other reviews is simply: yes, the drinks are strong. ”
“ Visiting from Atlanta, food was absolutely incredible and service was top notch. Perfect for a date night / Girls night out if you want to be served by Patrick Dempsey. Jimmy kept us laughing all night and truly made our night special. We’ll be back. ”
“ It was a wonderful surprise to walk into 1799 and discover such a beautifully decorated restaurant. The romantic touches throughout truly set a special mood. You don't always associate hotel restaurants with such a quaint and inviting ambiance, but 1799 certainly delivers. The exceptional service was the next highlight of our experience. Timmy immediately made us feel comfortable and promptly brought us some of the dishes we were eager to try. And the food! Everything was absolutely delicious and incredible. From the warm bread to the decadent dessert, every dish was tastefully prepared and presented. A special shout-out to the general manager Sarena A. for making us feel so welcome and at ease. As local Franklin residents, we are keen to continue promoting 1799. We look forward to many more memorable meals here! ”
“ It was our first time at 1799 and I have to say we had the best experience there! The food was phenomenal, the service was outstanding (Timmy was an amazing server), and the atmosphere was very intimate which we loved! I got the special which was a seafood risotto, it was absolutely amazing...I still think about that dish because it was THAT good! The cocktails were a solid 10/10. It was definitely an expensive dinner but it was SOOOOO worth it! We can’t wait to come back! ”
“ The menu was recently updated and includes some cool flavor combinations. We enjoyed the blueberry mustard and honey whiskey dips with the pork belly as well as the picked strawberries that adorned the asparagus side. The bison Land dinner options were both tasty, the melanese shown. My most favorite of the night was the au gratin potatoes, done perfectly and a solid portion size so you could enjoy every tasty bite. Service was a bit slower, so you won't feel rushed but don't come if you have somewhere to be after in a time crunch. It felt very European so the focus was on relaxing and enjoying the food and company. ”
“ We’ve been to the Harpeth before and we’ve had samples of their food at whiskey events but this was the first time trying it for dinner. It was an hour drive for us coming from north Nashville so we were hoping the drive was worth it. It was. The Harpeth Liepers Forks collaboration of bourbon started the night off right. We had superb appetizers; pork belly, cheese fondue and fried mushrooms as a side but they made a great appetizer. Anastasia took great care of us and had this great suggestion about the mushrooms. The Prime Filet Wellington was the best we’ve ever had. We finished off with a phenomenal Carrot Cake. It was so good we inhaled it before we could get a picture. We’d definitely recommend 1799 for a high class gourmet meal that has a spectacular bourbon selection!!! ”
“ First time there and we enjoyed every second of it. Excellent service, lovely patio, great restaurant room, arranged with style and class. Food was clearly above our expectations: we always try eggs Benedict as a reference, wherever we go for brunch, and they were just the best we ever had in and around Nashville. Prices were really fair, which is rare too. We’ll definitely go again. ”
“ I tried it with my friend the other day and it was marvelous!! Filet Wellington was outstanding and a huge portion enough for two to share. Drinks were great too. Carpaccio was ok, I’ve had better. They pour olive oil over carpaccio and it is a little weird. Highly recommend carrots and gratin potatoes were excellent! We will be back! Service provided by Anastasia was excellent and attentive. Loved it! ”
