Overall a great experience! From the free valet parking to the birthday card and cake for my husband’s birthday, our dinner at E3 was amazing. Our waiter was so friendly and answered all of our questions since it was our first time at the Chophouse. The steak was one of the best I’d ever had. The crab cakes were my favorite dish of the night. We are ready to go back.

I was surprised they allowed me to enter, because my attire was quite casual. I was staying at Village 21 (Sonder) and E3 was right outside my balcony door. So naturally the smell was enticing. I’m not a food critic but everything was delicious. Brussel sprouts: amazing. Dessert was less than expected but you’re paying for more than food.

Was excited to be brought here for Happy Hour drinks which turned into dinner. There was free valet which was very convenient. The building consisted of three floors which were accessed by stairs or an elevator. Nice rooftop bar with fire pits. Pros: 1. Service was friendly. 2. The Happy Hour drinks were really good albeit $10 each. I liked the watermelon tequila drink and the lavender gin drink. 3. Women's restroom was well stocked with flossers, Listerine, and mints. 4. They have a nice discounted small steak meal for active duty military and veterans on Monday nights Cons: 1. Prices were very high. I'm not new to finer dining experiences so I'm aware that good food costs a lot. This restaurant took it too far with upcharging, especially considering the next two points. 2. Food was mediocre. 3. Portions were small. I didn't even pay and I'm outraged at what the bill might have looked like. The people were nice and the place was cool, but this restaurant isn't one I'll be trying again.

Excellent food and service! The crab cake appetizer was excellent as was our filet mignons, and served with half a roasted garlic head. We ordered medium rare and they were perfectly cooked. My husband loved his peppercorn sauce the demo glacé was okay. We also ordered the wild mushrooms which were very good.

Joi (with an i!) is awesome at the downstairs bar. The food is amazing, the service is outstanding, and E3 has a cool mission to help veterans. It’s a must do if you can afford it - not cheap, but it is a good value for the quality delivered

Food was fantastic. On top of Phenomenal service by our waitress Hannah. So knowledgeable of the menu & had great recommendations. Got 3 different types of steak, a cooked to a perfect medium rare. Appetizers & Drinks were also really good. Coming from New York & not knowing where to go we made the right choice coming here. We got the private room for a bachelor party & they were very commentating. Even got us a heater because we were cold. Let us play music & mic to sign if you want. Thank you again, Hannah if we make it back to Tennessee we’ll be back.

I brought the family here for the first time tonight for my stepdaughter's birthday and I will have to say they have won over our stomach's and have jumped to the top of our favorite places to eat, and we've eaten at many of Nashville's finest steakhouses. The first visit was that good and we've already booked our next dinner. The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. I had their surf and turf special with a 12 oz filet and fried lobster tail, amazing! My stepdaughter had the shrimp fettuccine and she said it was awesome as well. Son-in-law had steamed lobster and steak and wife had the ribeye with all of them with the same review of awesome and delicious. Of course I can't leave out the amazing dessert! Can't wait to go back! Update 2/16/25 - It has been awhile since we have eaten here and I'm happy to say that it's still excellent! Service is awesome, and the food is delicious! Our filet and lobster tail was sooo good. If you haven't had their tempura fried lobster tail you definitely need to try it!

Delmonico had no sear/crust and was very mediocre. The smoke/flame flavor was nice but the texture and seasoning wasn’t there. King crab was $38 for 3 tiny pieces. Not even an entire leg or claw. Was really disappointed in the app. Wife’s swordfish was great. Mac n cheese was good. Had hope for better on the steak. Nothing here screamed “wow” except the bill. Most expensive meal I’ve had in Nashville. $305 after tip.
