This was a really cool experience. The jazz music and singing provided a great environment. The scallops were amazing! The housemade blue cheese was great with the wedge salad. The chicken was dry unfortunately, but our overall experience was great. We will have to check out the burlesque show next time!

My husband and I are from Jersey, near Hoboken. Where Sinatra is from. We love him. So of course when we heard there was going to be a restaurant dedicated to ‘OLE BLUE EYEs, we were very excited. It has been opened about two years and we have been there several times. We frequent many other restaurants owned by the owner of Sinatra’a, i.e. Skull’s, House of Cards, Cash’a, etc, so we knew it would be awesome I must tell you, this restaurant is one of the best dining experiences in Nashville. From the manager Paige, to the Head of reservations Heather, they can’t be friendlier, more knowledgeable or more accommodating. They always make me feel special. Our favorite waiter, Mark is wonderful. Always making suggestions and knows the menu like no other. The food is amazing. Starting with the pear burrata, then the zucchini fries, the melon and prosciutto, any of the salads, ciopino over linguini, just an amazing experience. I highly recommend.
