Fab breakfast and excellent service from Breck! We are visiting from England and were thoroughly impressed by our dining experience.
Breck, our server, was exceptionally attentive and knowledgeable. Her friendly demeanour and efficient service significantly enhanced our meal. They provided helpful recommendations and ensured our needs were met throughout our visit.
As international visitors, we appreciated the warm welcome and the opportunity to sample US breakfast. The portion sizes were generous, and the quality of ingredients was evident in every bite. From perfectly cooked eggs to crispy bacon and fluffy pancakes, each dish was a testament to the kitchen's skill.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making us feel right at home despite being far from England. The cleanliness and attention to detail in the dining area were also noteworthy.
Overall, this breakfast spot is a gem that we would highly recommend to both locals and fellow travelers. It's experiences like these that make our visit to this country truly memorable. We'll definitely be sharing this fantastic find with our friends back home!

This was a great breakfast restaurant. Our server Breck was very helpful and accommodating in regards to helping us feed our bottomless pit children, who ate every bite of their pancakes and then some of mine. The entire staff behind the bar greeted us when we entered, and the whole experience was very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, and I would most definitely eat there again.

Tenn is fantastic!. They have very friendly and attentive service. Haley at the bar is awesome. They take pride in their delicious food, for good reason. We loved the chicken and waffles and the loaded breakfast bowl, highly recommend both. Definitely go for brunch!

Our party of 8 went to Holston House on Saturday for their tea. It was just a terrible experience. The food was so bad (we first thought the bread was toasted, but it was just stale), one pot of tea was lukewarm so it didn't steep (I asked for hotter water and it came back the same), the service was horrible. We asked for two extra cups to share with granddaughters who had hot chocolate, and we were told no because they were keeping them for the next seating. Mind you, there were only two other people in the whole place! My daughter even offered to pay extra--no. So we left early, and we got the creme de la creme. The manager literally chased my daughter out of the restaurant accusing her of not paying! Her card was used to book the reservation and they had run it last week. I am reviewing this for two reasons: 1. don't even think about the tea; 2. I emailed the manager, Shannon, and she ignored my email. I live in Nashville, and we have marvelous places to stay and eat with impeccable service. Go somewhere else.

This restaurant was an amazing find. We were staying nearby and looked for options around us that were open. (We got started a little late in the morning). We walked in about 30 minutes before they closed and were greeted by Breck who also became our server. She was so sweet and kind. We ordered the fried green tomatoes which were outstanding on feta cheese with a bacon jam. The breakfast biscuits were also fantastic. They were moist, hot and flavorful. The entire staff was just great. They never rushed us and were very attentive. Don’t miss this one for a great breakfast option. We will definitely be back.

The staff at TENN was welcoming, the food (lunch) came in a reasonably quick time from the kitchen, and it was very good! Haley is a star ❤️. The maple old fashioned coffee (a latte of sorts) was light and tasty. It’s attached to the Hyatt and a nice addition to the experience. Thanks TENN.

Easily the best brunch we had during our time in Nashville! Haley, our waitress, was absolutely outstanding—she not only provided exceptional service but also went the extra mile by suggesting several must-try Nashville experiences for us. Her recommendations truly enhanced our trip. The overall experience at TENN was incredible, from the food to the atmosphere. I highly recommend TENN to anyone living in or visiting Nashville—it’s a must-visit spot for at least one (if not multiple) meals during your stay!

Great food, service. A little pricey for breakfast but it’s a hotel restaurant. We had a reservation for 10:30 on a Saturday.
Had the mini biscuits and gravy with potatoes instead of eggs. Very good, not too salty. Potatoes were delish.

Breck took fantastic care of us during both weekends of our stay. She really goes the extra mile both in terms of efficiency and genuine friendliness. We are from the UK and Breck suggested lovely local tea, took extra care with my vegetarian breakfast, and was just a delight to chat with. Thank you so much – we are really missing our mornings hanging out with you all there!

A buzzy little venue. Great service, lots of menu choices. I had the pancakes they were delicious, so fluffy and full of flavour with blueberries and lemon curd. My other half had Sammy breakfast , it was yummy. Scrambled eggs and crispy bacon.
We look forward to another breakfast.

The food was great and the kitchen was very accommodating with requests. The tea timer was a fun touch. Excellent biscuits and eggs! Priscila was a fantastic, welcoming and attentive server and even had helpful suggestions for something we were looking for locally.

Great focus on details down to making their own coffee syrups. Manager is actively walking floor to make sure coffee is filled and that you’re having a good experience. Wait staff is so kind. Good food/always busy (go early for no wait).

We stayed at the Holston House while attending a business conference. We dined at Tenn for breakfast on 3 days and for dinner on last day there. Breakfast is expensive, but its downtown Nashville and the prices compare favorably to similar restaurants offering full service breakfast. On the first day, I ordered two eggs with home fried potatoes, 7 grain bread and a side of "local bacon" which was recommended by our waiter. The bacon is amazingly good, but very salty. For our last dinner, I ordered a big Waldorf salad with grilled chicken. (After 4 days of BBQ beef, pulled pork and fried chicken, I needed a big salad!) It was delish!
The wait staff is so friendly and accommodating. The dining room is not large, but we were able to find comfortable seating in booths every day we dined there. The staff helped with food choices and were very attentive refilling coffee and beverages.
The restaurant has both a street entrance and an entrance from the hotel. Plus there is an elevator from the 2nd floor bar to the restaurant. You can order food to go such as cinnamon rolls, sweet rolls, pastries, coffee, etc. . If you dine in the restaurant, then plan a short wait for your meal. This is NOT a fast food restaurant.

Our family of 6 went for brunch. We live in Nashville and are not tourists. Our server, Tiara (sp?) was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, attentive and helpful with suggestions. Everyone loved their food. This included 13, 15 and 17 year old teenagers. Our son said the Jam French Toast was the best thing he has ever eaten. I am not a brunch/breakfast person but I got the Yogurt and it was ridiculously good. If you are looking for a great brunch, go to TENN.

Ate breakfast at Tenns 2 mornings and Breck was the server both times. The service was great and the food was delicious. It took very little time for food to come. Breck was very attentive and saw to it that we had everything we needed
