Modern Love

Absolutely unforgettable dining experience! Every dish was a work of art—beautifully plated and exploding with flavor. Huge shout-out to the chef for creating such incredible flavors! I got a sneak peek of the fall special, featuring the Norwegian trout vadouvan and ribeye cap/ marrow chimichurri dish, and it was pure perfection—rich, delicate, and absolutely divine. I’ll truly miss the summer menu favorites: the smoked tomato tartare, the luxurious crab rillettes, and the sweet corn agnolotti—my ultimate favorite (that sauce!! I could drink it!). Every bite was a celebration of flavor—can’t wait to see what the fall menu brings!

The food here is absolutely phenomenal! The Tomato Tartar is fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor — easily one of the best dishes I’ve ever tried. The corn-filled pasta is pure comfort and creativity in every bite, perfectly balanced and unforgettable. Every plate looks stunning and tastes even better. Add to that a welcoming atmosphere, great music, and fantastic drinks — this place is a true gem!

Incredible experience. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. The thai pumpkin soup was incredible. The chef even came out to serve it himself. The roasted vegetable dish was another home run and the kale salad was the best I’ve had in a really long time. Can’t recommend enough.

Our fantastic server (attentive and fun); Chef Sam (culinary genius), and Modern Love's delightful bartender (personable and thoughtful) created for us an anniversary dinner to remember at Modern Love. The freshly baked homemade sourdough bread (from Chef's sourdough baby "Dough-leen"), the pumpkin soup, oysters, and mushroom ravioli were incredible. To our surprise and delight, Chef Sam graced our table to wish us a happy anniversary, and present us with a beautiful gift he had created to punctuate our love and the love we felt at Modern Love! Truly an outstanding meal by a chef who cares. Delightful personable staff. Lovely, hip atmosphere. Modern Love is a treat like no other!

Really wonderful experience! The food was delicious & the atmosphere was really great. We enjoyed several different cocktails like the “In watermelon Sugar”, “Tropic of Cancer”, “Epilogue”, and “The Giant Peach”. For food we tried the, “Charcuterie Board”, “Smoked Tomato Tartare”, “Sweet Agnolotti” and “Kohlrabi Caesar” and more. We were very happy with everything! It was obvious that a lot of thought and intention was behind every drink & dish. Looking forward to coming back! The valet was also super kind & quick to retrieve our car. Thank you!

I absolutely loved my experience at Modern Love! Stylish interior, the vibes were fire, and the staff kind and passionate about what they were serving. Kyle was wonderful and has a clear love for what he does! The menu was impeccable - Chef is clearly talented beyond words.

What a gem. Amazing vibe in restaurant/lounge. FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE! Come here if you want to take a break from the classic nashville fried food scene. Great creative bar menu too.

One of the friendliest restaurants I’ve visited in Nashville! Chef Sam, Toni, and David went above and beyond—listening patiently to my dietary needs, customizing the food, and making sure everything was perfect. Their dedication and warmth truly make this place special. Kudos to the team—a must-visit spot!
