Bound’ry Restaurant

I went with a few friends for a girl’s night out. We chose here because of the great reviews. We started with crab cakes, pork belly, and stuffed mushrooms. All were fantastic. The crab cakes were very small but delicious. The other portions were great. I ordered shrimp and grits and is was phenomenal. A friend had salmon Wellington with red potatoes and it was not a disappointment. Another had the filet and another ordered chicken Marsala. We all shared our delicious dishes! We will definitely be back after the remodel.

This place is great! No matter the size of the party I am with we have always had great service. The food is fantastic, and the staff is extremely nice!

I will never send another patron their way after we were treated poorly.

A uniquely decorated, beautifully tasteful restaurant. The menu is limited and there’s not much for a vegetarian, especially when the pasta of the day has meat. There is a vegetarian ratatouille on the menu, but it was undercooked. The cheese plate was amazing though. I love cheese plates and this was the best one I ever had. The filet was so tender you could cut it with a butter knife and the oysters were delicious!

Been a while… had a great meal at Bound’ry last night… rack of lamb was fantastic and plenty of food. Started with the tuna appetizer that we ended up ordering a second because it was so good. The s’more brulee for dessert was very good as well.
There were five of us for dinner for a business meeting. We requested a quiet area for this reason and they gave us a perfect table. Service was very attentive.
Looking forward to returning soon with my wife.

Service at Boundr’y is phenomenal. They’re super attentive and even had our table preset with waters for the group. Plus the food was very tasty

My girlfriend and I came for dessert, but it was much, much more. We arrived during happy hour and the deals were great! The $ 4 margaritas from 4−7pm were delicious and strong. During happy hour, the pizzas are half price. We went with the Lobster BLT pizza, which is $ 19 not during happy hour. The proportions were sort of small, but for $ 9 a personal pizza (happy hour), size was perfect with delectable lobster, arugula, and Roma tomatoes. We also split the spinach & honey bleu-​berry salad which was very tasty, but once again, a little on the small side.
After 3 margaritas, I went with the special margarita — Juan in a Million — which was good, but very strong, be careful! (I’ll be leaving here drunk as I write this!) My girlfriend will be drunk after just one happy hour margarita and a white peach sangria.
Finally, came the dessert we were after. We ordered the S’mores brûlée which definitely exceeded expectations. The milk chocolate was amazing! The marshmallow on top was a very nice touch. A great spin on the traditional crème brûlée — and in my opinion even better!

This place is incredible!
We planned a surprise birthday party, and it could not have turned out any better. We reserved the Millennium room on the second floor. We had about 30 people, and we had plenty of space. There was a bar in the room, which was great for the party (& the beer menu is amazing!) The service from the bartender and the staff was incredible. They set up the room with decorations, prepared the food on the tables, and helped us cut the cake. Natalie from catering planned everything for me, including the bar estimate and the menu for the night. I definitely recommend this place if you are planning a party or large event! We loved it!

It was okay but not outstanding as some reviews indicate. We arrived to find no one at the desk, and waited a few minutes before someone appeared. She was very pleasant and sat us at a great table near the fireplace. Karen was also our wait staff and did a great job. The food was good, but presented in the tower style that is so popular but not my favourite. The desserts were fabulous!!! We had the visit of a mouse while in the restaurant, the staff’s reaction leaned to the cavalier. Bathrooms smelled terrible and were not clean.

My review is strictly based on a few drinks that I enjoyed with one of my close friends and her girlfriend from Nashville. The service is great we never felt rushed even though we were just having drinks at close to the bar one of the high top tables we chatted for maybe even two hours. I love the outdoor seating and layout with the fire pits. I hope to be back in Nashville and try the food just from the smell of the food coming to other tables I’m excited to try it out.

I have dinned here several times and never once been disappointed with food service or anything. The menu has some staples that frequent it but also provides a lot of seasonal variations. I would recommend this place for any foodie to check out.

Hands down — my favorite restaurant in my hometown of Nashville and my #1 go-​to spot. The bar by itself is great — not many places have all the booze I like in one place. Christina (bartender) makes the best vodka gimlet in the city — try it on the rocks. Bad day? Shot of green Chartreuse. And the Raconteur cabernet is probably my favorite red on the planet, okay top 3.
Phillip (chef) is outstanding, a truly talented guy, that changes up the menu regularly. He’s always adding something fun — emu, ostrich, antelope? Yea. Want a handmade brick oven pizza… with lobster and bacon? Go here. Tell them Tyler sent you.

Once again, Unilocal*comes through!
Close to the tourist area, nice outside area, fun, young staff and excellent meals. I’ll save the Foodie reviewing for those who want to know the nuances of the meal. That’s not me. It was good food. All three of us enjoyed the whole deal. The bubble gum crème brûlée has to be tried. It’s pretty amazing and has some bi polarity to it, which is great… just get it, you’ll like it.
If I can make one suggestion, and this is purely the snark in me, but the pitch the server (he was great so please don’t think this is a slam on him, just his training) was laying down was just too funny. It was thesaurus-​laden copy that felt like an SNL skit. Why most restaurants do this is confusing. I guess it’s for brand positioning or to justify higher prices… but whatever, the food and service was great, seamless and didn’t feel forced. Just a bit canned in this copy.
We enjoyed and you will, too.
Have fun.

I had dinner at Bound’ry with my younger sister this past Friday and found the food to live up to the reviews.
We were seated outside on the patio, which is quite large and has an interesting array of tables amongst the large trees. The complimentary valet for three restaurants is right outside the patio, so I imagine it can be a little loud/​busy some nights.
Our waitress was very friendly and informative, both in regards to the menu and non-​tourist places to grab a quick breakfast.
Their wine menu isn’t very extensive, however it has a decent range. The food menu includes vegetarian options in addition to typical and not so typical meat dishes. We split the cast iron brussel sprouts before I had the cast iron veggies and my sister had the antelope. Later we shared a dessert. The food was good, though I wasn’t blown away by the brussel sprouts like I am some places.
I would suggest it to friends visiting Nashville in the future.

I adore this place! It always makes me happy when I am there (could be the libations, but it works!). Th employees always seem to go above and beyond, but without demonstrating the effort involved. Real pros…
On the lower level is the bar with a live tree (oak?) growing through the middle of it and windows that open in nice weather to enjoy the Vandy students walking/​biking around.
Several years ago this place was #1 for tapas and great pizzas. They are still great, but the menu has gone more «heavy dinner».
This trip we snacked on the crab cakes and «tuna two ways» with sweet potato fries. Outstanding flavors and nice presentation.
After letting those lovely bites settle we headed upstairs and actually dined in a little den area sitting on a sofa, which was very neat. As always, the lamb was out of this world as were all of the drink selections.
Since I miss the older, more shared-​plate concept on the older menu, I withhold a star. If you are looking for a place where locals go and where you can feel all of worries disappear, put Bound’ry on your list!

I’m so glad I came here on my last night in Nashville! We had a variety of items to share and try. First of all the outdoor patio area is very pretty and I love the stone fire pits. The inside décor is just as sophisticated and interesting. The wait staff is also very friendly, I even cracked a few jokes with our waiter. We had the Korean beef tacos and lobster BLT pizza to share, and I had the rabbit tortellini as my entrée to try something a bit different. All soooo flavorful! You can really tell they put a lot of time and effort into making their dishes delicious and creative. Where else can you find a lobster pizza?! And they did not skimp on the lobster either. Overall a lovely place and I would definitely come back here on my next visit!

This weekend my mom was in town and we always like to check out the group Nashville Originals restaurants. She’s originally a Nashvillian and loves to support the locals. So we headed to Bound’ry with a total of 7 in our party. We made a reservation, but it was uncharacteristically slow for a Midtown restaurant on a Saturday night. I’m giving it 3 stars because the kitchen was incredibly slow with our entrees and our server started out great, but completely flopped toward the end and messed a few of the orders up– although she was nice enough to comp a free dessert. We probably will not return, unless it is for drinks/​apps.
Pros:
Great libations
Ashley Farms Stuffed Chicken
Cedar Plank TN Trout
Cons:
Bount’ry Salad/​Caesar Salad (looked like they came straight out of a bag onto the plate)
Pizzas
Service

I went at the start of restaurant week, and I will probably go back to try their regular offerings. The building itself is interesting. The décor is a bit of a hodgepodge, but there are lots of little nooks for tables, and there’s a feeling of privacy throughout the main dining area. Although I didn’t eat outside, I was really impressed by the patio area with the open flame fireplaces in each table. I’d like to give the patio and happy hour a try next time I go.
My wife and I both ordered drinks to start, and we really enjoyed them. She ordered a Pimm’s Royal Cup, and I chose the Bound’ry Old Fashioned. Both were good. For my appetizer, I chose the duck and fig flatbread. I don’t typically care for either duck or figs, but I really enjoyed the combination. My wife ordered the crab cake, and she really enjoyed it.
With antelope on the entrée menu, I couldn’t say no. The meat was very tender, but I couldn’t get a sense of the actual taste because it was masked by the smoking process and by the spicy sauce it was served with. My wife ordered the rabbit ravioli, which reminded us of rabbit stew. It was a bit salty, but it was very good overall.
For dessert, I ordered the olive oil cake, which was very moist and good. My wife ordered the s’mores cake/​brownie and was blown away. It came with smoke-​flavored ice cream. It was bizarre and delicious.
Overall, service was good and portion sizes were generous. We’ll be back.

OK… time to bump up my rating of Bound’ry due to their out of this world happy hour, DAILY 5−7pm!
This has become a new staple for my after work adult beverage and snack needs. Can we talk about the hummus? It’s so good. My only complaint is that I want MORE! The calamari is also exceptional. Lightly fried and accompanied by a perfect marinara sauce. Too often calamari is fried to the point of being big clumps of gross. But not here.
Did I mention these food options are only $ 5? House cabernet and chardonnay, also $ 5.00. And do you like Yazoo? They offer an assortment of them at 2 for 1. How about whiskey or vodka? Also $ 5 for a drink.
Happy hour is my favorite ever.
Their pizza is awesome, I’d highly recommend the sausage option or my friend and I had a roasted duck and fig pizza that was SO good.
Their dinner is very good also, I’ve been a long time customer, and now I just have one more reason to love dining here!

I’m always thankful when an entrée’s portion size is appropriate, and Bound’ry’s one of the good ones. Though I made a Saturday reservation (easy to get by phone at 7 p.m.) based on a halibut entrée on their website menu, it wasn’t on their menu when we arrived. That could have tipped the scale for me, but there was another option this night, a special: Chilean sea bass.
Now, we all know there’s no such thing as Chilean sea bass, but whose mouth waters at the utterance of Patagonian toothfish? Doesn’t matter to me; I’m along for the ride, and Bound’ry’s sea bass was delicious: fresh, melty and perfectly seasoned. I lapped up the sauce in as reserved a manner as I could muster and practically hummed while gobbling the crab-​stuffed shrimp. I cleaned my plate while feeling full but not stuffed. Win.
Two things, though:
1) The server didn’t card my husband or me when we ordered alcohol, and I didn’t have an ID on me. I was glad to enjoy my drink regardless, but it doesn’t look good to me when my ID isn’t requested. I’m in my 20s, so it isn’t attributed to vanity; it’s due to being a stickler for the rules.
2) This was a date for me and my husband, and we were seated in a booth (yuck) in a room with the loudest table in the restaurant: six people celebrating someone’s birthday. The loudly sang and guffawed throughout the meal — they had finished eating when we sat down and were still laughing through drinks when we left — and my husband and I had to lean across our table to hear each other. I was a bit bummed by this thoughtless arrangement. Although we could have requested to move tables, I prefer when a restaurant takes note of who they’re seating to create the best experience possible; I don’t want to have to arrange that myself.
All in all, I’ll be going back to Bound’ry for the food — though next time, I’ll call ahead to make sure their online menu is up to date.
