I may have had the best meal of my 55-year life! I had the scallops (off-menu special) and my husband had the pork chops. What an amazing explosion of flavors in both dishes! Lobster bisque was subtle (not too salty) and rich - so good! And the service was off the charts fantastic! Props to Max and Andrew! Delicious wines and great live music, which wasn't too loud. We could still talk easily. The only cons were the Brussels sprouts, which are brought out as a complementary extra, but they were just steamed and lightly seasoned. I like Brussels sprouts, but these were simply not great (like why bother?). And the seating was not super comfortable. Bench seat was hard - per my husband - and my chair was really low and the table had a large pedestal bottom, so between those two and my long legs, I had to sit sideways. But it won't stop us from coming back. The restaurant itself is beautiful! Excellent meal and lovely evening!

The experience at Gannons was amazing. We had let them know in advance that we were celebrating our Anniversary and as soon as we checked in, the hostess wished us a happy anniversary. We also had a "Happy Anniversary" sign at our table. Once our waitress arrived, she also wished us a happy anniversary and provided us with a complementary champagne toast. We felt loved and welcomed. The meals my husband and I had was top tier! I had the 8oz filet cooked at medium and it was *chef's kiss*. I highly recommend booking reservations for Gannons the next time you're in Nashville. You won't be disappointed.

We had an early dinner before the symphony (close by and validated parking). Gorgeous large art deco room. Quieter because of high ceiling. Excellent service. High prices are comparable (or even a tad lower) to other downtown steakhouses. Appetizers were really tasty. The girls had appetizers as entrees and were very happy. The guys all had prime rib which was good but not exemplary. Will try something different next time.

Not bad for a hotel restaurant but was hoping for better based on the reviews. Prime rib lacked seasoning. Potatoes were bland and very small portions. Appetizers were good but again smaller portions.

A girlfriend and I came here for dinner. We are longtime locals. We were looking for a dinner spot near TPAC. I saw this restaurant on Yelp and it looked good but I was leery because it's in the Marriott hotel. We both loved it! First, the decor is a gorgeous art deco. There was a small band playing. Not too loudly. Tables aren't crowded (I hate that). Our wait person (Kirsten) was excellent. She described the food well, offered good food & wine suggestions and she was prompt and friendly. We ordered a few dishes to share to include the cesar salad (good, not over dressed), wild mushroom risotto appetizer (a little thick but very tasty), filet with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts (perfectly cooked meat, creamy potatoes. I love Brussels sprouts and these were not good - overcooked & flavorless). We shared the barbecued shrimp with linguine (yum! Excellent!) and a side of roasted mushrooms (yum). We will definitely go back and bring our other gfs with us. There were other things on the menu that looked/sounded delicious...duck empanadas, pork chop, tartare. This would be a great spot for a date night. We parked in the pay lot on 4th across from hotel. Restaurant does validate. It's an easy walk to TPAC. Parking after dinner validation was $8.

Great restaurant in downtown Nashville. Steps from Broadway and what a great find. Food was excellent, steaks were prepared to perfection and come with sides, charcuterie board was delicious, lobster bisque was yum! Loved the live music and atmosphere. Very nice for an evening out!!!

Loved our dinner. Prime rib is very good but enormous. We shared and it was still a lot. Beautiful restaurant great music. Enjoyed our evening. A little pricey and we were charged an additional sharing fee. Not cool for a high end restaurant. I would recommend though just don't tell them you are sharing.

Gannon's was one of the best experiences we have had in Nashville. Chef Gannon was great and spent some time with us. The best Prime Rib I have ever had. My son got the surf and turf with lobster and a crab mornet in it was amazing. Turtle soup, duck empanadas, and Louisiana BBQ shrimp were amazing. Louisiana inspired steakhouse equals perfection. You have to try!

The first time we went to Gannons, it was awesome. The second time, which was several months later, everything, in my opinion, was downgraded. I was disappointed as we brought our friends and bragged about the food, and it wasn't up to expectations . I hope next time it will be better

I loved the art deco cool vibe of the place. We had the oysters, Cesar salad, prime rib, & fries. All were very good. The prime rib especially had a nice smoky flavor that made it so tasty. We had the Chilean sparkling & the Wente cab & both paired really well. Service was attentive. Highly recommend this as a downtown option.

Our server, Bennett, took such great care of us!! Outstanding food and good portion sizes for value. The live jazz was an incredible touch. Would love to return next time we're in Nashville

This is a beautiful restaurant decorated in the Art Deco style. The food is fresh and well prepared. The service is excellent and numerous people check on you during the course of the meal. I never felt rushed or pushed to finish in a limited timeframe as in some restaurants. In a city with many excellent restaurant choices, this is among them.

We chose to eat at Gannon's to celebrate my daughter's 22 birthday. Gannon's is located in a hotel with a downtown Nashville street view. There was a live piano playing, which was amazing. He even played "Happy Birthday" when they brought her candle-lit dessert. We had the prime rib and filet with veggies/sauces. EVERYTHING is a la carte. The enormous portions left plenty to bring home. The wait staff was top of the line, for sure. My only complaint was the dinner cost. We had two alcoholic drinks, 3 meals, and two desserts. Our tab was $400 after a 20% tip. That's ridiculous.

Honestly one of the BEST dining experiences we've ever had; and we are very choosy and love to cook. Live music was just loud enough, wait staff and owner on point. Dishes were delectable. My husband said it was the best cut of meat he's ever had. My fish dinner was so good I took home half and finished it for breakfast!!! Historic building added to the ambiance, as well as fabulous lighting. Luxurious and classic without being pretentious at all. A stunning change of pace from Broadway, just steps away on Printers Alley.

Top notch food in a beautiful restaurant exceeded the high expectations I had from the recommendation that brought me there. I had the filet and house salad. My waiter recommended a sauce with shrimp over the filet which was absolutely delicious. The meat was on par with the best I've had in Nashville. The entrance is through a hotel lobby then opens to high ceilings and a spacious place that still has an old school jazz bar feel . I learned that the owner and chef are both well known in Nashville for the highest quality food and restaurant experience. I'm sure this place will be yet another success of theirs.
