Mane Rye Dinerant - Nashville

Fun, fairly affordable semi-luxury culinary experience. we enjoyed it.

Tried this place out with my two best girlfriends, and it unfortunately isn 't a place we 'll be returning. The parking is confusing (it says it 's complimentary, but turns out only if you go to the garage which wasn 't clear), it was noisy in restaurant area (several groups standing around), and the server was inattentive and seemed annoyed when they were at the table. The drinks tasted good but did not have much alcohol in them for the price, and a liquor tax is charged on top. The food also tasted good but we still didn 't feel like it was good value. We loved the idea of a dinerant, but the ambiance, inattentive service, and basic food aren 't worth the hassle for us as locals.

We enjoyed our overall dining experience at Mane Rye on NYE. Upon arrival the hostess was no where to be found so it took about 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and confirm our reservation but after that service was wonderful. My husband was not a fan of the specific NYE 3 course menu due to the sauce mixed with the lobster and the oysters but he did mention the filet was cooked to perfection. I had the bourbon brined pork chop with Brussels sprouts and it was Amazing!!! Would definitely return. Ambiance was nice although I was a bit confused about the oversized pin ball machines in such a nice restaurant. A bit distracting when trying to have a conversation or romantic dinner.

The food is very good. The cheesecake is delicious. The noise level was low.

Food was excellent and the service was attentive but not intrusive. Beautiful space with unique booths.
