Tin Angel Restaurant

My husband works on West End, so we met at The Tin Angel one evening recently after he got out of a very long meeting. I had a glass of wine before he arrived, and enjoyed the atmosphere and the bar. They offer a variety of food, and both of us liked what we ordered (beef and chicken entrees). Our server was efficient and friendly. We will go there again in the near future. more

Wow, We were shocked at the negative comments about this restaurant. In the past, this was always a ""must go"" place to eat. Recently, we were in the area so we decided to try it again. We had to wait for a table but the staff seemed to try to get us to a table as quickly as possible. Once we received our entrees, we remembered why we always like it there. Both of our entrees were well prepared and well presented. House wine was excellent as was the dessert. Service may have been a little quicker but there is a fine line between letting patrons enjoy their dinner and rushing them. We really enjoyed our evening and look forward to going back. more

I literally just got home from my first time dining at the Tine Angel. i moved to Nashville about six months ago, and live almost across the street from this cozy Nashville staple.( I think it's important to mention that Ive worked at a few restaurant, hosting ect.) I REALLY want to give this place four stars because my boyfriend and I really enjoy our dinners tonight. I got the seasonal ""all in"" pasta with a nicely sized portion of malbec, and he got the angel burger with a beautifully rich glass of chiantti. The only food woe we had was the burgers doneness. he had ordered medium rare (I honestly know how a burger should look) and it came out absolutely raw in the middle, I mean unappealingly raw. so we had it recooked and everything ended up tasting great. Our big complaint was the service, the hostess was pretty rude, she didn't say anything when she set done our menus just smirked and walked away. Our waitress didn't come to our table for almost 10 min. We thought she was haing a busy night, so we let it slide. She hardly paid any attention to us at all, we tried to ask her opinions on food, but I truly felt like I was bothering her, even though this is her job. i understand when servers get busy, but it was a pretty slow thursday night. I wanted to be treated better by the people there, because we love going out to eat and Nashville, and I myself know how I want paying customers to feel. So please TIN ANGEL MANAGERS, tell your employees to be polite and professional. more

I'm with so many of the other people...what is the attraction to this place? My family and I were there last weekend for my birthday and it was the most unimpressive place I've eaten in Nashville since arriving last year. The hostess was more than rude, she literally ""snubbed"" me when I questioned the table where she had chose to seat us. The waitress was nice but dull, unemotional, in fact, the food and atmosphere could be described the same way. All in all, it was just plain boring! more

I've been here a few times. The food has never been good. They skimp on so many things. The front door greeting is so unfriendly. The service is juvenile at best.\r It seems a bit dirty and cold on cold days. Pros: location Cons: everything else more

We found this place by accident. Touring the south we wanted to expierence the music scene and were driving aimlessly about and ran into a noon time traffic mess. After trying to make a left turn a few times we came to the Tin Angel. The sign ""Valet Parking"" grabbed my attention and we said ""This must be the place""\r \r We had never been in the south or Nashville and were looking for what we thought ""The Southern Expierence"" was. It was here. Attentive greeting at the door and quick seating even though it was 12:00PM. Wait staff was nice to a fault and made some suggestions for ""Southern Food"" I selected the Etuffe [ which is not always on the menu] it was outstanding. Not to wet, not to dry and with a good mix of seafood and vegetables. The only thing lacking was a good dry California Chardonnay or Viogior.If I ever get to Memphis with a few days we will go back. Pros: Etuffe was best ever Cons: Did not find any more

After hearing about Tin Angel for many years I finally decided to give it a try. It sucked! I really don't understand why the place was so full, unless it's just a typical Nashville networking spot.\r \r The wait was ridiculous. It took forever to finally get out food, and when it came it wasn't all that. And, for the price, both the quantity and the quality of the food should have been better. Lookin at the portion size of my $14.95 entree, I began wondering if I had ordred an appetizer! Additionally, they don't have anything complimentary. Not even bread. We just sat there waiting thinking that surely a place like this would at least bring you some bread to eat before your meal, especially if you have to wait so long for your food, but no!\r \r The service was lame too. Even after we were seated and were waiting for eons for our food to arrive, the waiter did not once stop by our table to check in on us or let us know what the status of our order was. We even had to ask for refills on our water.\r \r Anyway, Tin Angel sucked! I don't recommend it. Save your money and go somewhere else; where you'll at least get some bread or chips while you wait on your food, and still not have to pay as much as Tin Angel. I know I'm NEVER going back to this miserable place. Pros: Devoid of any good qualities worth mentioning Cons: Sub standard menu and service at exorbitant prices more

The Tin Angel is what happens when people have more money than they have sense, but I guess even the hoi-polloi need a place to cackle about sprouts and balsamic vinaigrette. The menu at this dump is ridiculous and the only people who go there more than once go because they think they should. I went one Sunday for lunch and thought I?d stepped into a Fellini movie. It was the ?B? list from the Swine Ball. I didn?t even know dead people could eat. Except for people who wear tennis sweaters in June, no one in their right mind would go to this place. more

Tin Angel is a great Nashville restaurant.\r \r The food is fabulous and reasonably priced. Few other restaurants in town are as fun and delicious as this one. Everything on the menu is fresh, and I love that the menu is constantly evolving. I particularly love the bowl entrees. \r \r The food is not Tin Angel's only highlight; the service is impeccable. All of the servers have been incredibly familiar with everything on the menu, and they have all been exceptionally accommodating. \r \r Great date spot! Pros: Best service and fresh food Cons: They sometimes don't serve bread more

I took a group here on a business dinner and it was fantastic. I'm quite picky too. Being at out-of-towner, I relied on city search, as I ususally do. I was very pleased. My entire party enjoyed their food. (I highly recommend the goat cheese salad. Yum.) Other than being cold when the door was opened by a patron, I was very pleased and will go back again if I'm ever in Nashville. more

I've been to Tin Angel a handful of times and always had a great experience, until my last visit about a week ago. After waiting a pretty long time to receive our entrees, they brought my boyfriend the wrong entree. Our server didn't seem to fazed by the incident and only brought him a piece of bread while we waited. I ended up finishing my entree by the time his arrived. When we got our check, I figured that something would have been comped or we would have been given a discount, but nope, everything was charged. My boyfriend and I are both servers and when these kinds of things happen to our tables, we make sure the customer gets the benefit of OUR mistake. This was an expensive, disappointing experience, we will NOT be returning. Pros: innovative plates, drinks Cons: SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more

The ambiance is consistently warm and intimate, and I've never had bad service. The waitstaff is accommodating -- and they've even begun to recognize us when we come in. Their eggplant parmesan is some of the best I've had -- so good, in fact, that I care very little that they've become inconsistent in adding other vegetarian options. We'll keep going back as long as we live in Nashville! This restaurant is a testament to the quality you get when you avoid large, generic chains. Pros: good wine, good food, ambiance Cons: parking, small bar, no reservations more

Pleasant meal in Nashville. The lamp chops were pretty darn good and the mashed potatoes were pleasing. I am purposefully overlooking the fact that the restaurant has no clue what seafood gumbo is, but the seafood soup with rice was decent. I really like the building decor. The wait staff was hip and friendly. I would recommend this place to people. Pros: food, service, location Cons: seafood soup more

My friend and I went to The Tin Angel the other night it was a Wednesday night and they were very slow. We could not decide what wine to get so we asked for a sample of a Shraz, the waitress brought us ONE glass for both of us to sample the wine!! That might have been okay if we had been a couple but we were only co-workers. We both ordered the Mahi Mahi with a japanelo & pineapple chuney. The fish was served on a bed of coconut rice. Our meal was wonderful, one of the best pieces of fish I have had in months! The wine was good and we also ordered the house flat bread pizza which was alos wonderful. The food was a great value and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Will definitely go again soon! Pros: Mahi Mahi, interesting menu Cons: service was good but quirky personality, ZERO Parking more

If you are going out any day of the week for a quick bite, this elegant little restaurant is ideal. The food is always consistent and the fish special is almost always to die for. The pricing is completely reasonable from everything from the apps to the entrees. However, the service is absolutely atrocious. Where did these people come from? Upon entrance, my wife and I were snapped at by the hostess, after she had ignored our presence for approximately 5 minutes. I am terribly sorry to have inconvienced this girl to do her job. After giving her the benefit of the doubt and pleading our case, she snapped again quite rudely that they were on a wait. On a Friday or Saturday night, that is to be expected for a place that is quality, however, we were quite offended at this girl's manners. Talking to patrons like infants is NOT good customer service.\r After waiting patiently, we were seated. Thank you very much rude little hostess. However, the food almost made up for her behavior, almost...if we had gotten a competent server! Her inadequacies on the wine list were absolutely unforgivable. After selecting our entrees we had asked the server what kind of wine she thought should be paired with our meals...seeing as how we had gotten the steak salad and the angel wing to start off with...and then a couple of things to split. She looked at us like a deer in the headlights! She had absolutely no knowledge of the wine list whatsoever.(PS- It's pronounced tem-prah-NEE-yoh...even though it's spelled Tempranillo. All I wanted was a wine that would go with all of the food that we ordered! I am sorry if that is asking too much, but I halfway expect a place like the Tin Angel to have servers on hand with that kind of knowledge. After the meal was delivered to our table promptly, we forgot everything else that had happened, it appeared to have all been a bad dream. The food is absolutely delicious. I have never had a bad meal there, just awful experiences Pros: Amazing food prepared correctly in little to no time... Many Options Cons: RUDE hostess, Wine list, Poor Server Knowledge more

We experienced Tin Angel yesterday, using a gift certificate we received. It was a pleasant experience, with wonderful food and exemplary service. As we got there before 5 p.m., we were usure as to whether we could order from the dinner menu, but that was no problem. I would recommend this restaurant, and we plan to go back. more
