Didn't think the restaurant was very good, but the parking experience was awful. Drove an expensive luxury car and checked mileage before I left it with the hotel Valet. Parking lot is by the hotel, but the Valet drove the car almost 2 miles. The next day I called and reported it to the Fairlane and also emailed the manager of the valet company. Didn't get any reply or return call from either. Will not go back.
Good location to Nashville, especially TPAC. Nice restaurant on 4th floor. Service was excellent. Food was typical quality for a nice restaurant. I'd go back if Nashville didn't have hundreds of restaurants to try!

What a lovely find in what can be a pretty intense city. The building is great and the space on the 4th floor is wonderfully eclectic. Our meal was great and the service exceptional.

The dirty martinis here are top notch! And the pimento cheese corn- I could have eaten that for my meal! Everything was delicious!! Cal our server was so nice, attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. It’ll definitely be a go to every time I’m in Nashville!

Let me tell you about a hidden gem called Ellington's located in Nashville's Fairlane Hotel. So, picture this: you walk in, feeling chic and fabulous, and you're greeted by friendly staff and a bartender who mixes up amazing cocktails. There's a good crowd at the bar and seated at the tables - couples, girl groups, and friends. Busy? Yes! But despite the hustle and bustle, the bartender still managed to make my friend and me feel like the center of attention. We just ordered appetizers to share and were not disappointed - fresh, flavorful, and served up in a flash. The vibe? Stylish yet cozy. Ellington's and the Fairlane Hotel is a must-visit for food, drinks, and a great place to snap some pictures before hitting Broadway!

Ellington's in Nashville is a great spot close to Broadway but away from the "rowdiness" for drinks and appetizers. Recently stopped by with a friend before hitting Broadway for Happy Hour. We shared appetizers that arrived promptly and were fresh. Enjoyed an old fashioned, expertly crafted by the attentive bartender. Despite the restaurant getting busy with diners, our service remained top-notch. The ambiance exudes a cool vibe, perfect for unwinding with friends or setting the stage for a romantic date night. Hotel is a great place to snap pictures too. I recommend Ellington's as a great spot for drinks and conversation. Will return the next time I'm in town!

Such a great vibe. The food was unique and absolutely delicious, and even the chef came out to drop off and explain some of her new dishes, which was a great touch. We had their classic burger and the lobster carbonara. It tasted excellent and was definitely worth it. Great ambiance, they had a great playlist, and everyone was lovely. Can't wait to come back!

Waiter forgot my salad and when I mentioned it during the main meal he was not very apologetic. He asked did I want it or was I full. No other effort to make it right. Also, I was told they didn't have Sambuca. What upscale restaurant doesn't have Sambuca on the bar?

Had reservations, got there early and waiting about 35 min to be seated then after about 30 min after being seated I left. As I did not get served nor did my serve check on us. They may have been busy, but at least we should have been greeted. We decided to
Short staffed, everything took way too long. A glass of champagne took 20 minutes. People trying to flag down server to place dinner orders, this is terrible. Please invest in additional staff, it will pay dividends. Terrible experience that could have been a real gem, save for the lack of service.

Not a good experience at all as it was my first time in the establishment. We had a 6:30p dinner reservation. Checked in for reservation at 6:25p and was not seated until 7p. No one came to greet or ask if we've been helped or wanted water so we decided to leave at 7:25p.

Well, so the reviews are accurate and continue. Not enough servers, a glass of champagne to 20 minutes, people flagging down servers to place orders. Food took do long, it was uncomfortable. When the food arrived, it was good. However, the shirt staffing ruined the entire experience. This could be a gem, but please hire staff, it will pay dividends in the long term.

Seems like a secret restaurant no one knows about! We had a reservation, were sat outside (weather was great) and the noise was the perfect level to have conversation. The food was amazing! If you eat here, you get to jump the line to go to the pop up bar upstairs! The theme was "falling in the Fairlane". The drinks were all fall themed which was a fun after dinner spot!
