Description: Located in the century old Hermitage Hotel, the commitment to preservation continues in the Capitol Grille and Oak Bar. Relaxed, low key, and known as the place for Nashvillians “in the know”, the Capitol Grille is inspired by cultural sustainability. That is, preserving the past while using techniques of the present. Our commitment to using local food extends beyond just sourcing local. The ingredients are grown at the farm at Glen Leven, located just 5 miles from the Capitol Grille by Executive Chef and Farmer Tyler Brown. Brown creates a menu that shifts with the seasons, is inspired by what is the freshest and best available, and pays homage to historic Southern cuisine. The Capitol Grille actively supports and is involved with Share Our Strength, an organization whose mission is to end childhood hunger by 2015, the Chef’s Move to Schools program, as well as the Southern Foodways Alliance.

This was the perfect choice for our daughter's graduation dinner. The Capitol Grille (not to be confused with the CapitAl Grilles outside of Nashville) Is one of my favorite restaurants! The southern charm is readily apparent as you are graciously greeted upon entering the comfortably elegant dining room. The hatch print menus and "Brooks Bros. Mumford and Sons" waitstaff uniforms...

We had breakfast at the Capitol Grill & happy hour at the Oak Bar every day for 7 days and scrupulously enjoyed everything we had. Let me say that the Tennessee Jack Egg sandwich with Jack Daniel’s whiskey infused toast, fried egg, bacon & tomato gravy & the Egg & Gravy with a poach egg, tomato gravy served on grits... More

We happened upon the Capitol Grille while walking around downtown during our first-ever visit to Nashville. It is part of the Hermitage Hotel and is a lovely and elegant restaurant, but we felt perfectly welcome in our casual tourist attire. It was well past lunchtime (2:30ish - we had just arrived in Nashville from New Mexico), so the dining room... More

Entering the beautiful Hermitage Hotel with friendly doorman sets the stage. The bar is a classic, drinks are good and generous and service is comfortable. Then move to the restaurant. A fun decor, in a large comfortable room. Location of tables generally allows you to talk without being overheard. Waiters are knowledgeable and pleasant. Good wine list with different price... More

Breakfast was a problem because of the construction noises could be heard in the restaurant. Dinner was quiet and the food good, though pretty expensive.

Located in the Hermitage, gorgeous luxury boutique hotel with a stunningly beautiful lobby (check out the photos on their Internet site), this gourmet restaurant is in a lovely room with large arching columns and artwork depicting the state Capitol. Linen table cloths and expertly trained servers. it can be quite noisy when full with chattering guests. Expensive but something everybody... More

I was taken to Capitol Grille last night and came away deeply disappointed. I ordered the $65 aged ribeye steak and was unimpressed. My steak lacked the ribeye taste, was only 2/3 meat, 1/3 fat and had grizzle. The filet also was ordinary at best. The sides were not large enough to share, but priced like they were. Make sure...

We enjoyed our dinner at the Grille. The food was very good and the service was kind and attentive. The wine list was varied and well selected, though very expensive. The atmosphere is so classy and historic that it makes it really fun and interesting. We had visited The Hermitage (Jackson's home) earlier in the day and dining here was... More

I liked this a lot. But I wish I hadn't chosen the trout I chose. It's a very classic atmosphere kind of place, the salad I had for a starter was really good and so were the sides that we ordered for the table, especially the truffle mac and cheese.

We stopped at Capitol Grille for lunch on a Saturday. We were immediately seated and the service was superb. We enjoyed a wonderful Saturday brunch. The atmosphere was gorgeous and I would love to come back for dinner soon.
