We had a tour we wanted to take and made reservations at Kitchen Notes for breakfast since it was near the meeting point.
When you first walk into the Omni Hotel it's overwhelming. Such a massive front lobby and opulence to spare. The signage is decent but honestly we had to look around a little to see Kitchen Notes. The sign in the entrance isn't visible from the lobby area.
Once we found Kitchen Notes, we were greeted at the door by an extremely friendly team of people that work in different capacities in the restaurant. We were seated immediately but on the way to the table we were able to drink in the atmosphere some. The tables are beautiful, the seats are amazingly comfortable, and the whole place is extremely clean and super cute.
We sat down and out waiter Keith was over almost immediately. Affable and easy going, we were able to order our coffee and waters. We wanted bloody Mary's, but booze isn't served until 10am so we settled on the coffee and water. The coffee was good, not a cheap roast and not burnt tasting like you get in some places.
We ordered the Music City Omelette (no pics sorry), Avocado Toast, and I asked for a side of Nashville Hot Chicken. It wasn't on the menu but Keith did me a solid and got it anyways. The food took a little bit to come out, there was a slight snag that we overcame with the help of Katie the wonderful manager of the restaurant and all was well.
The Nashville Hot Chicken was good, well seasoned breading (lots of pepper like I like it) and it came out on a pan friend piece of toast which I loved. It was missing the sauce that I love about NHC, but there was a Kitchen Notes hot sauce on the table that sufficed in its stead.
The avocado toast was really good, but it's avocado toast so it's hard to mess that up. It came with some greens, two sunny side up eggs, and tomatoes. I enjoyed it more with a little hot sauce because I like spicy food, but it was great on its own.
The omelette was tasty with caramelized onions, ham, and other additions. The potatoes that came with it were fried perfectly brown and complimented the flavors of the omelette.
The good news is, we took long enough we were able to get the bloodies we wanted and they didn't disappoint at all. With a nice spice to them and a healthy pour, I highly recommend one after 10am. (Weirdo laws trying to make me less of a sinner).
All in, the stop at Kitchen Notes was fully worth it. The service was amazing after the snag was cleared up and the food was completely worth it. The food ran between $15 and $20 a plate, so it wasn't horribly priced for a Nashville stop. If you're in the area stop on by.
