Made a reservation for our 4 year wedding anniversary. We requested a table close to live music and they honored it with an amazing front table. The ambiance and restaurant was really nice, the live music on Saturday night was really nice as well, our server Maria was wonderful, she really made it a special night for us even getting us a free glass of nice champagne. The food was good but not perfect, filet mignon was cooked perfect just a little too much grill char on the outside kind of ruined the flavor but was still a great steak and the balsamic pasta was good but just a little to heavy on the balsamic, without the chicken add on it would've been rough. The butter cake was delicious. Their drinks were really nice, especially the waffle cone old fashioned. Overall opinion? For what you are paying the kitchen could try a little harder in the quality control area.The front of house staff is friendly, helpful and fun. The atmosphere and ambiance are great. Thank you Maria for making our special night so special!

Came for dinner as it was close to my hotel. The vibe and decor of this spot is modern and fresh. They have a small outside dinning area and a nice size bar. Additionally, they have ample seating. They were showing football when I went in and then had live music around 6pm. Food itself was fairly good but a bit pricey foe what you got. Waiter was nice and fairly timely, on a few occasions there were delays but nothing major. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

Mina was AMAZING. He was very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were delicious. And Emma White on the guitar was the perfect addition to the atmosphere.

Happy Hour is where it’s at! We were looking for an easy option to grab a quick snack prior to seeing a concert on Friday! No wait to be seated. Live music created the perfect ambiance in this beautiful location. We ordered the Wedge Salad, Salt & Vinegar Fries, Spinach Dip, and Blackberry Mojito! Everything was excellent! The wedge salad had the perfect amount of dressing. The fries…seriously amazing! The spinach dip was different, but very good! The BlackBerry Mojito was super flavorful! Our server was very attentive and super sweet. Will definitely return on our next visit to Nashville.

I recently went to Handcut, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our waiter was Darrien, who provided attentive and friendly service, making us feel right at home. The steaks were juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection. The creamed corn was our favorite item on the menu by far! To top it all off, the espresso martinis were perfectly crafted with the right balance of rich coffee flavor and tequila. We ended up staying until close to listen to the live music. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience. I highly recommend. I can't wait to go back, and definitely ask for Darrian when you go!

Hand Cut Chophouse located in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, was the perfect establishment to have a lovely dinner before the ball drops on NYE! It was conveniently located adjacent to the @embassysuitesnashville (IG) which was hosting a NYE Rooftop party 🍾 We ordered the Spinach Artichoke Dip and the Ahi Stack and both servings were plentiful! We were surprised at how filling the serving size was! The Spinach Artichoke Dip was served with bread which provided a homey feel while the Ahi Stack delivered a refreshing taste with the cucumber as the base. For the main entrees, we ordered the Filet Mignon, the Bone-In New York, and the Grilled Ribeye paired with Black Truffle Mash, Three Cheese Mac & Cheese, Sweet Potato Fries, and Honey Garlic Brussels with Bacon 🥓 For drinks, we got the Espresso Martini & 6oz glass of Mer Soleil Silver, Chardonnay, Monterey 🍷 The Espresso Martini is one of the best ones I’ve had, highly recommend 🍸 All three steaks were made perfectly to each individual liking and were tender while the mash potatoes and sweet potato fries were the hit signature sides. I felt that the Mac & Cheese lacked flavoring considering it was “three cheese” and the brussel sprouts were as expected. Personally, I do not like truffle, but the mash potato was delicious and one that I would order again. Overall, @handcutnashville (IG) was a total success for a delicious dinner before the party at the Embassy😉 The live music provided an amicable ambiance and a restaurant I recommend visiting when in town! Note: The appetizers & the signature sides are big enough to share between 1-3 people!!

We took our best friend for his birthday and the the host was rude and non accommodating. And not welcoming. After waiting for food it will came out cold and upon paying the bill we noticed a surprise 6% booking fee that was never discussed even though we asked prior to booking the problem was the 6% “booking fee” was placed in all 4 of our bills in its full amount and not dispersed between the checks on top of the 16% gratuity.
