Karrington Rowe

This small restaurant punches way above its weight. The quality of the food is Michelin level. The service is five stars plus. As soon as you get in, everyone is acting in harmony to make you feel welcome. They remember everything you say and don’t ask you any redundant or stupid questions. They are quick, polite, and go above and beyond. The food reminded me of the best days of my life when my mother made the dried fig jam, and some authentic food at home. The menu is very well balanced, and creative but with no nonsense or over the top items. It’s inspired by food from east and west. The food is well cooked, well presented and amazingly delicious. It’s been a while I haven’t liked a place this much. Thank you!

Went here for lunch. Service was excellent from hostess to server. Food was delicious. The bacon wrapped dates are an incredible bite. The burger was juicy and balanced flavor with the toppings. Fries were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside

Came here to try their KR Burger for burger week. Memorable? Nope. I ordered it without cheese. It was juicy but nothing special. For $8 it was OK but probably not $18 regular price. I had better burger elsewhere for that price.

Service and food were impeccable but it was dark and loud, very loud. Location needs something to absorb some of the noise. We had pork chops and salmon for dinner and dark chocolate torte and cheesecake for dessert. Would recommend during slower periods

Came in for Burger Week with my parents. This was our first stop among a list we planned to visit this week. For starters everything was alright, the best part was the appetizer we ordered, the squash fritters which were stellar. As you can guess if the best part was not the burger, then we probably aren't voting for Karrington Rowes burger and we haven't even tried anyone else's. So let me explain. Was it tasty? You bet! However the key aspects of this burger that do all the heavy lifting on your tongue are the boursin cream and onion bacon jam. Both are scrumptious but also overpowering the flavor of the meat. It's kinda akin to ordering a well done steak and then slathering it with A1 and saying it's a good steak. All you taste is the sauce and last I checked it was Burger Week and noy sauce Week! We also ordered the burgers cooked to a medium which based on my 37 years of life and 12 years of hospitality experience means there's still some level of pink in the center, these were cooked well done with zero juice left in the patties. For the discounted burger Week price it was a good burger, but I wouldnt pay the normal $18 for that burger, I could make 3 exact burgers myself and get the temp correct at home for the same price.

We made reservations online and when we got there, they were waiting on us. The hostess was very nice. Once we were seated, the waitress came over and took our drink orders. We didn’t know what to get, because everything looked amazing.. she helped us decide on the beignets ( lord they were amazing). We also got the eggs, toast, and bacon ( it was sooooo good). I will definitely be coming back for lunch and dinner. I can’t wait to try the fried green tomatoes!!!

Oh, you have to try the French Onion Soup—it’s rich, cheesy perfection. The pork chop? Cooked to absolute buttery tenderness with flavors that blew me away. And don’t you dare leave without ordering the crème brûlée. It’s the perfect finish—crispy top, creamy center, total heaven. Karington Row nails upscale comfort food. Already planning my next visit!

Went on a Thursday evening. We waited for half an hour for a table so I highly recommend a reservation. The salmon was lovely and the blueberry cheesecake was amazing.

Loved it here. Food was great. Service also. I highly recommend. And the ambiance was amazing too.

I had eaten the previous evening at Park Cafe in Nashville. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the exact same menu at Karrington Rowe! There were some formatting differences, and Karrington Rowe was more expensive, but the food was just the same, and even the napkins were the same! I felt cheated that I ended up with the same menu two days in a row. Our party checked online with Germantown Cafe's menu (all 3 are owned by the same entity), and apparently all three restaurants have identical menus. The food is very good, however. I can heartily recommend the crispy salmon, regardless of where you eat it. The fried green tomatoes are divine. Park Cafe's service is far superior to Karrington Rowe. We waited a very long time for food and drinks, although the house was less than half full. The restaurant was so dark we had to pull out phone flashlights to see the menu. Our waitress was kind and helpful, apologizing for the slow bar service.

I've been to Karrington Rowe twice now--once for happy hour and again when I hosted my partner's 40th birthday party there--and both times were phenomenal. The staff, especially Dani, went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Every single guest at the party commented on how exceptional our waitress and Khalil were--seriously, they were unforgettable. The food is fantastic--it feels like the best of Park Café and Germantown Café with a few standout dishes of their own. I was so bummed when Bricks closed in Brentwood, but this feels like a worthy new favorite. The space itself is beautiful too, with rich navy and gold accents that make it feel both cozy and elevated. At the party, the bacon-wrapped dates were the show stopper--highly recommend starting with those. Great food is one thing, but when the service is just as excellent, it creates a truly memorable experience. Karrington Rowe nailed it on both.

Years ago, Brentwood was severely lacking when it came to fine dining. Their affluent inhabitants had to drive elsewhere, typically downtown Nashville, just to find an upscale eatery. But little by little, more and more of these high-end spots have been opening up in the area. Karrington Rowe is the newcomer, debuting in early 2025 from the same company that runs the legendary Germantown Café. The calamari is stellar with a unique cornmeal batter. And the French onion soup ranks among the three best I've ever had, including those I've tried in France! The mac and cheese is easily among the two or three best in town, perfectly cheesy and baked to a crisp on top. The enormous Karrington Rowe burger on a soft brioche bun with prime beef, white cheddar, onion bacon jam, spicy pickles, and sauce is a wonderful amalgamation of flavors and textures! And the crème brûlée napolean dessert is exceptional! I must return for the pork chop, the crab cakes, and the key lime pie. And the crispy salmon is highly recommended by the house and patrons alike.

Hey, Brentwood! Karrington Rowe is the classy neighborhood bar we've been craving, and it's my new go-to. Since popping up off of Franklin Rd (near Crema & Twin Liquors) in January '25, it's where you can roll in--jeans or dressed up--and feel instantly at home. The place is gorgeous: super-clean tables your forearms will treasure, sleek leather barstools so comfy that time melts away, walls whispering elegance, and spotless glasses. Truly! Even when it's hopping, there's no harsh clamor, just a quiet haven where I can savor a chat or steal an intimate moment with my friend, no shouting needed. It's where I exhale, and you might, too. The service? Unreal--tops anything from Franklin to Nashville. This crew is handpicked. Pros greet you like a friend and soon know your name. Everyone's warm, from the door to the bar, where two big-screen TVs--silent but sharp--let us catch every inning without killing the vibe. The food's fresh and yummy, yet, you don't leave smelling like a BBQ joint or greasy spoon. I feel as clean and fresh as when I arrived, whether heading home or back to the office. Happy Hour's fabulous--from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., classic cocktails drop from twelve bucks to eight. E-i-g-h-t! The bartenders nail it--each drink feels personal. It's perfect for solo nights, work lunches, dates, or just chilling. I'm hosting a birthday brunch there soon, then back a few weeks later to wow out-of-towners--Brentwood at its finest. Karrington Rowe feels like mine, like ours. Everyone's welcome. You'll leave feeling like they've been waiting just for you.

Love the bartender at happy hour. Makes a great hit and spicy martini, nice happy hour menu, including a French dip that was good but could have been better. Priced well. Happy to have a local option!

We dined at Karrington Rowe for the first time tonight and thoroughly enjoyed everything about our experience. The ambiance and decor are just right. Not over done, but classy and tasteful. Hubs had an Old Fashion, which he thought was very well made. I had the Pretty In Pink drink. It was very tasty. Our absolute favorite dish was the bacon wrapped dates - amazing! Next time I may just have those as my entree. They are that good! I had the Asian noodle salad and it was delicious. Hubs had the chicken and really liked it. Our server, Chris, was terrific - fast, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. He highly recommended the dates and we were so pleased he did. He had drinks, appetizer and dinner to us with no waiting, and everything was delicious. We even met the manager and he was awesome. We will definitely be back!

A newish restaurant to open on Franklin Road in the heart of Brentwood, I'm thrilled with this new addition to the food scene. Obviously location is very convenient and a huge parking lot for easy access. Was able to make a reservation online for our Saturday night visit which is always a plus. The vibe inside is nice, cozy, modern upscale without being too fancy. Not overly loud. Absolutely everything on the menu looked amazing! We ordered the dates as an appetizer, I got the Caesar and my friend the butternut squash bisque, and I ordered the roasted cauliflower entree and she the shrimp curry. The dates were stuffed with chorizo and had the perfect sweet/spicy bite. Caesar was delicious, but I love Caesar salad so it's difficult to mess that up for me. I'm not a vegetarian but I love vegetarian dishes, and this one was perfect! Smooth hummus at the base with roasted carrots and asparagus topped with curry marinated cauliflower florets. Everything was cooked perfectly and super tender. I ordered mine with a sprinkle of feta on top, because feta makes everything better! Our server was super kind and very attentive. 10/10 experience and with so many other tasty looking dishes on the menu, safe to say I'll be back many times.

Stopped in for lunch today. Nice neighborhood spot. Ambiance was fine. Interior design is nice. Service was excellent from my waitress Natalia. I did see the manager visiting tables. He didn't stop at mine, so curious about the criteria for that; especially seeing as how it's a very new restaurant and they should be collecting feedback from everyone. My waitress was also the bartender and made me a really good lemon drop. Fried green tomatoes were interesting. I'm used to more of a cornmeal based batter. Burger was standard & fine. Could have been seasoned more. Fries were frozen, not fresh. That's an easy improvement/upgrade to make. I know it would take more prep, but still. Overall, based on my experience, I'd probably come back for a glass of prosecco or sparkling rosé & charcuterie. Brunch I'd give a whirl too once they offer it. Not sure I'd come back to try dinner. I typically eat gluten free and they do have GFO available but I decided to try standard fare here. Will review GFOs if I return.

Ordered Calamari and arugula salad. So good. Friendly and attentive staff. Nice atmosphere.

The food is scratch and so fresh. Almost anything on the menu can be done gluten free. Service is friendly and impecable.

Food was delicious and nicely presented. Server was friendly. The restaurant is a bit noisy and we did secure a table in a bit of a quieter area.

The environment is nice, open, and fun especially in the bar area. The food is good, but selections are minimal and more eccentric selections.

Our first experience trying Kerrington Rowe! The hostess didn't appear for several minutes and when we asked the hostess for a table for two she said they were full, even though about 75% of the restaurant was empty. I asked if the bar was available and she (pretty rudely) said she didn't know. Once we were seated, the drinks were great and the salmon Rangoons were decent. The real star of the show was the bread service which they forgot to put in after we ordered. Despite the hiccups I would return.

My wife and I went to Karrington Rowe for lunch on a Saturday. We did not realize there was a rather limited brunch menu. My wife had hoped to try the filet, but it was not available. We ended up with the chicken salad sandwich and the avocado toast. Both were edible but nothing special-- except for the breakfast potatoes which were excellent. Our server was solicitous and the food arrived quickly. The check with tip came to about $51.00 (rather steep by our experience). We both found the restaurant extremely loud (and it was less than half-full). We might try KR again, but we will not return for brunch.

Fabulous food tastes with sometimes common names! So far haven't had anything less than great!

The food was quite good, the bread was excellent and fluffy. The service being slow was our biggest issue, we ended up skipping dessert due to the timing.

Food was great! Had the Coconut Curry Shrimp. The Coconut Curry Salmon was also fantastic. Portions are small. Ambiance is lacking. Very loud inside and hard to hear.

First time and service was more than below par and the food was just mediocre at best.

Great service, good diverse menu and wine list. I haven't had anything there I didn't enjoy.

Awesome restaurant w/amazing food! I was very excited to eat here, the food is incredible and the atmosphere is great.. love the bar seating! I had the pork chop and it was by far the BEST I've ever had. The meatballs appetizer is a must have, and the Old Fashioned was awesome. They have a terrific menu and all the food and drink was superb. Terrific service as well. I'll be back!

Terrific bistro style restaurant! We came to this open, warm, comfortable and lively spot for the first time tonight. It was packed and loud, but the energy is great. The entire staff seemed laser-focused on getting everyone seated and served. The menu has many tempting options from crab cakes to the cheese plate appetizers, soups and a good variety of entrees including beef, pork, fish and shellfish. We had 4 warmup dishes: french onion soup, bacon wrapped dates, squash fritters and meatballs. The portions were quite large for appetizers and all were delicious. The standouts were the french onion soup, spot on perfect broth, cheese, carmallized onions and crouton, easily could be a meal. The bacon wrapped dates were fantastic as well. Our entrees were a beef filet with french fried onions and fingerling potatoes, crunchy salmon, and shrimp with a curry sauce over rice. All were delicious, the shrimp was exceptional as were the garlic buttered green beans served with the salmon. The prices were remarkably low for the level of food and service. Cocktails were 12 dollars, many of the entrees under 30 dollars and although sides were available a la carte, the entrees come well appointed with vegetables. Best dining experience I have had in Williamson county in months, maybe ever. I'm glad you guys are here!

We live locally and have been very excited about a new upscale spot opening up in Brentwood. However the experience was lackluster from the moment we walked in. The inexperience from the serving staff was so underwhelming that we ended up leaving before our water came, largely because we lost faith in how the rest of the evening would progress. After 10 minutes of sitting we still didn't have water, and the server was unknowledgeable of the menu causing us to lose faith in the rest of the evening, so we went next door to Peter's Sushi which is always a consistent experience.

New place in BW, went day for lunch. Staff is super, decor is very nice, pours are solid, and food is great. Brined chicken with gravy and carrots/Brussels was very tasty. Shrimp curry was also great. Will try dessert next time.

The food was amazing! I've never had a better pork chop. The shrimp was also delicious!

Fantastic service. Delicious food. Lovely ambiance. Amazing desserts. Don't sleep on the cheesecake.

Great ambiance, great service (we had Laura G who was super attentive and sweet), loved the appetizers (we had the squash fritters and the Dates). I was surprised by the prices, felt affordable for a place that felt more "high end" which means we will definitely be coming here again.

I was not impressed w/the menu for lunch, a little over priced for lunch, only had 2 waiters for the whole restaurant and they were very slow. It took our waiter almost 30 minutes to get our order to us. We were not impressed with the restaurant.

Went for happy hour. They had one bar tender who was doing ALL drinks and waiting tables in the bar area. Disaster. Other employees were standing around talking instead of helping to take care of customers. I had to leave my table and go up to the bar in order to get water and another drink. The appetizers were cold, or at best room temperature. The chicken app was way over cooked and I had to spit it out in a napkin. Unfortunately, I will not be back and I will give it a year or less before they close the doors.

Bartenders and servers are outstanding. Happy hour is awesome as well. The french onion soup, crab cake and dates are fantastic. The garden patch pasta with shrimp is a top 5 pasta dish Ive ever eaten. The pork chop is top 5 as well. Elite. I didnt love the mac n cheese and the fried green tomatoes. Theyre both ok but the fgt are not southern style. I prefer the other type of breading. Caesar salad is good and they dont coat it with dressing like some places.

Happy to have a new option for upscale dining in Brentwood! Food and service were great, although they seemed a bit overwhelmed. Didn't matter to us because we were dining with good friends and weren't in a hurry. The only complaint would be the noise but perhaps that was due to a Friday night experience. We will return!
