Carter's

Nice atmosphere.

Great service...delicious food...comfortable attractive atmosphere.

The exhibit of Freda was very educational. Every detail of her life was writing on the wall and explained by our tour guide.

Really incredible architecture, good strong drinks, and yummy desserts. Only complaint would probably be that the waiters wern’t very friendly (never smiled) and I don’t like when they reuse glasses. They asked my friend if they could really use their cup to make their second drink. Kind of weird and rude considering it was for a $15 bourbon.

I spent a couple hours here on a Thursday afternoon in June 2019. I am a senior citizen and a tourist, visiting Nashville for the 2nd time. Perhaps because the CMT Country Music Awards Festival was taking place in town, there was live music in the grand hotel lobby -- one act after another, all day, it seemed. I enjoyed the performances (not loud bands, more like folk music or singer-songwriters). Relaxing in the gorgeous, soaring lobby that was once a rail station waiting room, I ordered a lunch of shrimp and grits, with a beer. Service was very good. The food was not as good, because my dish had way too much cheese in it. But I loved spending time in this splendid, beautifully renovated hotel. It's an historic landmark and I recommend that you stop by to see the beauty of it. This review is for the restaurant only. I did not stay overnight in the hotel.
