Geist Bar + Restaurant

Wonderful spot for brunch. Planning to go back for dinner. Started with beignets, which were fantastic, came with a chocolate dipping sauce. Next got the tomato-braised pork with baked eggs. The eggs were unevenly cooked, the pork was delicious, and could have fed two to three. Pot of French press coffee to wash it down. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes … More

Went for brunch and we lucked out. First time in Nashville and we didn’t have to wait and the restaurant was not crowded when we were there. The food was wonderful!! The atmosphere is lovely and service was amazing. I would defiantly go back. Oh and the next day we tried to go to a restaurant in The Gulch and it was a 3 hour wait. If I go back to Nashville I will certainly be visiting this area again as it was wonderful.

This restaurant is esthectically divine....a wonderful example of a perfectly repurposed preserved old historic brick business. The hostess and waitress were both invitingly warm and friendly. I choose two items, the fried oysters in spinach and the tomato drenched fried egg topped pulled pork. Unfortunately for the latter, I ate the fried oysters and spinach first. I was sadly disappointed to have viewed prior patron meal photos with alot more oysters included, while my current one had two. I had read reviews that opined this dish as too salty, when in reality it is the side of hot sauce that throws one's pallet off. It was salty, but it is the added mix in of a dash of hot sauce that still worked and reacts to make it seem overly salted. This is a highlight restaurant item. Only, it needs its own bread so you won't have to leave its amazing liquidy sauce behind. I used the bread from my second dish. As for this tomato covered, fried egg and pulled pork ..the tomato sauce is boringly
