Saltine Restaurant

I love this place! First of all, it looks gorgeous. I love the openness and the light! And all the employees are SO nice! The bartenders and servers made me feel very welcome and did an amazing job. My servers knew the menu and were very gracious and helpful. I had a glass of their punch and then the house red blend and both were fantastic! For dinner I had the seafood pasta and oh my goodness it was by far the best seafood pasta I've had. It's creamy, rich, and flavorful. My friend had the fish and chips, which were also so good! (And very nicely presented!) Then my server recommended that we try the cinnamon roll cheesecake and it was life changing to say the least. Warm cinnamon roll on top of cool, creamy cheesecake and topped with candied pecans. I'm pretty sure I will never be the same. I will absolutely be coming back--many, many times. :) Update: came back for brunch and it was AMAZING!!

Went to Saltine for the first time I must say they kind of started out on a bad foot by telling my wife we couldn't eat by the window because they had a big party they needed the table for in order to make enough room. So we got put in the corner and only minutes later the same person seated a party 4, which we were, at the same table my wife asked to sit at. It's obvious he lied in order to appease someone else who wasn't even there yet. At any rate our waiter was very nice and friendly, although over worked, and was as attentive as he could be considering. I believe they just didn't have the staff to cover the tables correctly. Once our food arrived it was delicious, everything was hot and fresh and tasted great, except the dessert because it was cold and fresh and tasted great! I would definitely go back but I sincerely hope they do a better job of staffing and not telling stories. The food is what took this rating to 4 stars..

Beautiful restaurant, well decorated and clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Our waitress was great and answered any questions about the menu that we may have had. A few in our group enjoyed the oysters while I enjoyed the scallop dish with carrot and pea puree. Scallops were good to perfection and had a great flavor to them. A must try resturant while visiting nashville!

Enjoyed happy hour at the bar. Good friendly service and the raw Gulf oysters were excellent. Drunk tourists cleared out after about 30 minutes and their absence made the experience that much better.

We came in with a large group for our monthly ladies out evening. It was a reserved set up. The restaurant was well prepared for us. Dealing with the individual checks and drink orders were all done great. The food was tasty and service well presented and with solid flavor. Parking lot was packed so parking was a little effort. They also had free hush puppies at happy hour with yelp.

I attended a work function at Saltine last night and enjoyed the experience very much. They are known for seafood so I went with the fish and chips—a simple dish, certainly, but executed well. It came with two huge pieces of fish, more than I could eat myself. The cod they used didn’t taste fishy at all... just clean-tasting and not overcooked or dry like fried fish can sometimes be. It wasn’t overly salty either. It was pretty much perfect... crunchy batter, hot on the inside, freshly cooked. Make sure to get the vinegar to shake on your fish too... although it’s also served with a herby, creamy tartar sauce and ketchup. The simple, hand-cut-style fries (with peel intact) were served underneath the fish and could have been a bit more crispy but they were still tasty. Like the tartar sauce, the little hushpuppies on the side were a bit more elevated than your typical fast food version. The food took a little while to come compared to some other work events I’ve attended, but we were a decent sized group, so that sometimes happens. I wish I had ordered the triple chocolate dessert—I got the bread pudding, which wasn’t bad, but a little boring compared to the chocolate one which looked amazing and rich. I would definitely come back again to try other items from their menu. Also, their drink menu looked interesting as well.

Good food and service. Loved the parking lot for convenience. The baked oysters were okay. The rib sandwich was really good. Super cute beach vibes. The drinks are really strong.

Great seafood especially for Nashville. Great service, very friendly! Had the seafood and oyster ceviche, shrimp cocktail, redfish sandwich, oyster po boy and a few hurricanes. Went 3 days in a row and the food and service was consistently great. If you like seafood this is the place in Nashville
