    Best fine dining experience we had in Nashville (visiting from NYC)! Definitely worth going. We ordered almost every dish on the menu--favorites were fusilli, duck, pappardelle, pork. Great atmosphere and cocktails too, on par with the best of NY!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Rolf and daughters. Loved the decor, food and service. Though a selected, rather small menu, every dish has outstanding. I highly recommend the kale salad (not pictured) and the chocolate desert. Book in advance, absolutely worth it if you are in town.

    Our experience was very good. The menu was thoroughly explained to us by our server. We were impressed by the blending of flavors. The scallop with pickled plum was a particular standout. The pastas all tasted very fresh. The fluke was cooked to perfection. Several dishes were slightly oversalted, but this was about our only complaint, and the flavor profiles still stood up to this.

    3.8 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars, love their outdoor patio, perfect for date nights and friends catching up. Food: pasta were a disappointment. We ordered 2 of their most popular pastas and one was sour and another one was so salty. I was so confused bc others say how amazing their pastas were and honestly Olive Garden would have done a better job lol. But they sure looked amazing though. So for Instagram it’s perfect. Dessert: seasonal apple desert was SO GOOD! It was like shaved apple ice on a bed of salty organic sheep yogurt with some herbs. Definitely sensational for your taste buds. Service: our server was friendly. However I wish they wore masks since we are still in a pandemic. Sadly only one food runner was wearing a mask. Overall it’s cute to have your date night here. However we were not super impressed with their pasta. They looked amazing but the taste was a major letdown. Bottom line: perfect atmosphere to have your date night out on their patio however, am I in a rush to go back? Sadly No.

    What an absolute excellent experience. I mean Seriously one of the best dining experiences I have ever had here in Nashville. We walked in early for our 9:30 reservation expecting to grab a drink and chill but they were able to seat us right away. The atmosphere is phenomenal… it’s comfortable, elegant, Nicely lit, and stunning to look at. So atmosphere was spot on. Then Aubry was our server and she was fabulous! She knew the menu in and out … she was thoughtful, and helpful about recommendations and extremely professional. I didn't lift a finger and felt truly waited on! Our wine was exceptional and the food was outstanding. We had a bunch of things and all of it was amazing. Pictured below, is the chicken confit which was to die for, and the parpadelle which was light and scrumptious. There was not one poor thing to say about this place and I am hard to please. Details are taken into consideration at Rolf and Daughters in every single aspect! Stunning experience go and see for yourself.

    Highly recommend this restaurant. It has great charm and ambience. You will need to book reservations well ahead of time. The food is high quality and plated creatively. Unfortunately the drink service was really slow and we never received our second round of drinks. I'm not sure why this was. It didn't seem overly busy and the cocktails weren't complicated. I would recommend getting a few appetizers and entrees and then share them. The sourdough ice cream was actually really good! I also loved the seaweed butter.

    Rolf and Daughters has been on my list of places to go since I moved to Nashville two years ago, and I do not know why I didn’t go sooner!!! It is AMAZING. Beautiful ambiance and beyond delicious food. Drinks were decent, but the food was incredible. 10/10 would recommend.

    Expensive, but this is how every fancy restaurant should be: well-executed creative dishes with the right amount of seasoning. The starters were specially good: the tempura basil leaves were amazing, and we loved the cauliflower as well. The rigatoni (with horseradish rather than parmesan) were also superb. We also loved the apple cider sorbet. Will definitely return

    Great negroni cocktails! The food was delicious and there were options for different tastes. The service was excellent, too.

  • 5/5 Emily W. 8 months ago on Google
    Really good!! We had dinner on the patio. Our server was great. Get the sourdough bread with seaweed butter. We had a couple pasta dishes and the trout dish. All really good!

  • 5/5 Cassie F. 8 months ago on Google
    100% go here. Ambiance is incredible inside and outside. Service is top-notch. Meghan rocks - she’ll make you feel like you’re her only table. Menu changes often with seasonal items which keeps items fresh and fun, and unlike anything else around (seaweed butter, sourdough ice cream). Our group tried every app and my entree (pork chop) was 10/10. Shout-out to Erica for her wonderful work here. This place is special!!!

    I've never given 5 stars for every field before lol. Found this place while traveling and when I say everything is 5 stars I mean it. Tanner was exceptional; I didn't catch the other gentleman's name at the bar but his work was fabulous as well. Myself and my friend have long experience in both sides of the food industry and this was what you dream of. Pricing for quality was phenomenal, portions were real portion sizes, we split everything between two adults. There's a dish and drink for various palates. Definitely go here.

    Attentive service and a very comfortable atmosphere is where it starts. The food was second to none. Every single plate inspired and delighted in the balance of flavors and ingredients. The tartar was buttery smooth while the scallop ceviche had hints of its citrus cure, without ever being overpowering. As for the pasta we ordered 3 different plates and all of them were simply next level. The star for us was the cecemariti wand equally the canestri with crab. Immense depth of flavors and attention clearly went into crafting the dishes. These remain some of our favorite pasta dishes we’ve had outside of Italy. I’d recommend anyone going to arrive with an empty stomach and order multiple plates, portion sizes were extremely reasonable (you’ll get enough for 3-4 people to comfortably share). Loved every minute of our dinner. This is a definite don’t miss in Nashville.

    We came here after seeing all the good reviews and it being featured on Somebody feed Phil show on Netflix. We loved the food and wish can give it 4.5 stars because the price of the entrees are quite high given the portion. (And yes we have been to enough other high-end Italian restaurants to make this comparison) - Chicken liver toast was awesome. Very nice pairing between rye bread, nuts, liver mousse and fresh cherry. Definitely recommend. - Dry-aged beef tartare also great! Wonderful flavor and texture. - Linguine with clam had an interesting twist from what you normally expect from this otherwise classic dish. On the creamier side. The pasta was sooo good though! You can see from the photo that the portion is quite small for a pasta dish. - Pork with beets was also good. Seasoned and cooked well. Beets went really well with the protein. Would recommend for people who likes a good atmosphere and aren’t that hungry.

    My husband and I have been wanting to visit Rolf and Daughters for a while now, and it sure did not disappoint! Trendy decor, with great service, delicious featured wines, and even better food. Everything tasted fresh and loaded with flavor. Highly recommend the beef tare tare appetizer , and this restaurant, in general.

    This was a unique experience, one we looked forward to after seeing it on Somebody Feel Phil. We did not have a reservation but arrived right when they opened and were able to sit at the community table. We really enjoyed their cocktails (tried both of the ones with mezcal) and variety of wines. This place is great if you’re looking to try new dishes, ready to google some ingredients, and expand your palette. It’s not a kid-friendly restaurant, more suited for date night or drinks with friends. Definitely recommend making reservations and checking it out if you’re in town!

    Where to start. Everything from beginning to end with this meal was awesome. Sat at the bar, the bar tenders were very knowledgeable about the food as well as their cocktails and wine selections. The food was amazing, if you come here and don’t get some of their house made pasta you’re missing out! Dessert was phenomenal as well. I’ve been telling everyone I know that if they are going to Nashville they need to have a meal here!

  • 5/5 Albert S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibes and great place to share dishes to get a great variety. Staff is superb and get eloquently describe each dish that changes often. Reservations for a table, but a spot at the large communal table in the center can be had if you don’t have one.

  • 5/5 Jackie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Upon coming to this restaurant the first choice you must make is whether to sit in a chair or at the booth. Choose the booth side because your tooshie May hurt from the chair. Although I could not understand all the meal descriptions my waiter broke it down for me. Let’s get down to business. The food was amazing. The staff were incredible. 10/10 on everything except the chair. Do not recommend the chair If you have a bony butt. If you thick you good.

  • 5/5 Nicole K. 2 years ago on Google
    Every dish we had was delicious, well balanced in texture and acidity, and with some small innovative touches (me, googling sea buckthorn, etc). Pasta dishes esp wonderful. But I have to say the service especially stood out to me! They were able to accommodate moving our reservation from the bar to outside (a really beautiful night to dine outside). The server's recommendations were thoughtful, the service friendly but not intrusive, and our server was very accommodating to dietary restrictions without making my husband feel bad about it (sometimes nicer restaurants really don't like any changes). Overall, so pleased we chose Rolf and Daughters to close out our trip to Nashville amongst the many restaurant options! Cocktails were also fantastic!

  • 5/5 Quin T. 2 years ago on Google
    I love the decor and setup of this restuarant, particularly the outside patio. The whole vibe made me feel like I was back in Chicago. I dined solo, so I sat at the bar and Alex did a great job of mixing drinks for the waitstaff while also serving the customers at the bar all without missing a beat. While I nodded my head to the curated playlist I dined on the kale, radicchio salad as well as the black bass and both meals were delicious. The dessert options sounded tasty, but I was too full, but there's always next time.

  • 4/5 Allison G. 3 years ago on Google
    The pasta, garlic bread, and salad was terrific. Took about an hour to get food while people who arrived after got theirs, and refills on drinks took a while, but the staff was very nice and obviously working hard. Hopefully as the covid stuff clears up for good, we will all get back into grooves. Definitely recommend if you want something quality, creative, and delicious.

  • 5/5 Carly C. 2 years ago on Google
    It can be difficult to find a restaurant that lives up to the hype, and Rolf and Daughters provided us with an excellent dining experience. Their cocktails are made with thought, and the food options are innovative. Not a single aspect was lacking. The staff are super nice, and we're looking forward to our next meal there :)

  • 5/5 Wilson T. 2 years ago on Google
    What can I say about the dinner here except for good things? The food is amazing, some very interesting combinations like cashews fish sauce and watermelon! The pasta is cooked perfectly al dente and the chicken is delicious as well! All in all, everything came out deliciously and I would go back again for sure
