Southern seafood & brunch with oysters, cinnamon rolls & cocktails
"Marsh House isn’t only the best seafood spot in the Gulch—it’s one of the best in the whole city. And it’s hard to beat Marsh House for brunch when you want to celebrate an anniversary or because you woke up with a very specific craving for hollandaise on oysters. The menu has a wide array of seafood, including a raw bar, but the cast-iron cinnamon roll swirled with a tangy cream cheese frosting is a soft and doughy must. Throw in a Bloody Mary or two, and brunch is handled." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
"Sometimes, it’s nice to pretend you’re brunching in Maine with your quiet luxury loafers and such. The sleek, sun-drenched Marsh House in the Thompson Hotel lobby will scratch that itch. Now, there’s really only one way to kick this thing off: a seafood tower. And this one will come with briny oysters, mussels, crab ravigote, smoked fish dip, and ceviche. A citrusy, bubbly cocktail will go nicely with that, plus, it’ll give you the chance to say things like “cin, cin” and “I hear Nantucket is positively resplendent this time of year.” You could stay on the seafood train with the shrimp po’boy or the fried oyster benedict, but the cast-iron cinnamon roll and double-stacked Marsh House burger offer a nice counterpoint to all the raw bar items." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
"The Marsh House is on the ground floor of the Thompson Hotel, and it scratches the seafood itch for all of Nashville’s landlocked, breakfast-seeking citizens. Sip a perfect cup of coffee before getting into a robust raw bar (even at 9am) and the fried oyster benedict with its perfectly poached eggs, zesty Creole remoulade hollandaise, and lightly breaded oysters. They do other things well besides seafood, like a surprisingly soft cast-iron cinnamon roll (let’s be real, those things can be hard as rocks) with tangy cream cheese frosting. All you need is one of the house Bloody Marys and you’ll feel like you’re somewhere in the Lowcountry South with a sea breeze." - bailey freeman, ann walczak
"Listed again among Gulch seafood options for visitors seeking ocean-forward dishes in a landlocked city." - Missy Frederick
"You’ll find Marsh House on the ground floor of the Thompson Hotel, and it scratches that seafood itch for all Nashville’s landlocked, breakfast-seeking citizens. Sip a perfect cup of coffee before choosing from a wide array of seafood-oriented breakfast dishes, including a robust raw bar (even at 9am). Start off with a surprisingly soft cast-iron cinnamon roll (let’s be real, those things can be hard as rocks) with tangy cream cheese frosting before diving into more savory choices—we love the fried oyster benedict with its perfectly poached eggs, zesty Creole remoulade hollandaise, and lightly breaded oysters. All you need is one of the house Bloody Marys and you’ll feel like you’re somewhere in the Lowcountry South with a sea breeze." - Bailey Freeman
