Overall great experience!! The music was on point which made it a whole vibe. Our server Nathanae was very helpful knowing all the knowledge of the dishes. I highly recommend getting the lamb shank it’s very delicious.

We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing because we were celebrating. The food was amazing but the service was terrible. 2/5 wines for our pairing didn't come with the intended course and we had to remind our server that we didn't get them. 1 of 3 three wines that actually came with our food was the wrong wine- the gave us a cabernet that was supposed to be paired with our next course (steak) instead of the sauvignon blanc that was supposed to be with our crab cake which is a HUGE difference. Our waitress was inattentive and didn't even refill our empty water glasses once throughout the 2.5 hours we were there. We had to track her down at the end of the night for another drink and the check because she was too busy socializing with the other waitresses and bar staff. Honestly this was such a shame because the food was wonderful but the service kind of ruined the whole experience.

The dining experience was unique compared to other brunch spots we have been to. Food was delicious. Service was so-so. I think our waiter could have been a little better. Price was a bit high for a brunch for two.

My friends and I went to Sinema last Sunday. We were told the menu changed the day before. We were a little disappointed because we have enjoyed their brunch before, especially the cinnamon roll pancakes. But felt confident it would be good.This was a huge disappointment and not work $42! Everything seemed premade. Hash brown casserole was not good and seemed reheated, pancakes looked like previously frozen mini pancakes, and the French toast casserole was not great. The bacon and fried chicken were good. The catfish was decent, but after we asked for more, we got small catfish nuggets. Meats are good but I needed a good pancake or French toast to go with my meat. Instead, I ate allMeat for the brunch. The fruit and yogurt was decent, but not for this price. Grits were average, at best. I am not sure why they changed the menu, but I will never return. There was nothing special that made it worth the price. Maybe it will get better with time.

I went here for brunch with my friends and I was so excited! The decor was beautiful and I was prepared for delicious food. However, there are very few options on the menu if you are dairy free. I was told I couldn’t alter any orders to be dairy free and there was a vegan hash I could order not as part of the bottomless brunch. Our waiter was rude and I was starving thinking I was going to have bottomless food only to be served a small plate of potatoes and veggies.

The food was great! It came out fast. We had the bottomless brunch. We coursed our meals and glad we did because it gave us an opportunity to try everything. The breakfast sides, the chicken, and the pancakes were to die for and by far our favorite! Service was subpar. Our waitress was just ok but I noticed the 2 other waiters on each side of us providing a more unique, tailored experience to their guests. I would go back, for sure. Hopefully, not the same waitress.

I believe for brunch there should be serving utensils given without having to be requested. In addition, if it is 4 adults at a table, the serving sizes should be bigger or individual plates should be given for certain items. It doesn't make sense to put one over easy egg on a few potatoes and give it to a group. Each person should receive the item.
I planned a nice birthday weekend for me and my friends and sisters to patronize black owned businesses in Nashville. I searched and found that Sinema is a black owned business so I added it to our to do list. I was excited to experience Sinema after seeing the website and my sisters told me about their good experience with the brunch there. First, let me say the service was great for the most part. Our server was very nice and so was the manager (after we had a couple of complaints about drinks and food, the drinks were replaced and the food was taken off the bill). I had the Chicken Parmesan which was just ok. My sister and one of my girlfriends ordered the oysters, which they enjoyed. No one seemed impressed or excited about their meal choice. Then when it was time for the bill, we were told that they would only separate the check for a maximum of 6 (there were 7 in our party), so we had to sit there and divide the check up for the server, which I thought was crazy. To top that off, they automatically charged the gratuity to everyone's check. I was also startled to find out they charged me $25 for a less than 8 oz margarita ($22 for some premium liquor, I don't know what kind; then an extra $3 for them to add margarita mix to it). All that said, we had a nice time fellowshipping and celebrating my special day despite the issues. Not sure if I would go again. I may consider going to try their brunch.
This place is such a nice place to have brunch! It’s super unique and I really enjoyed how the menu was set up. It was a set price for bottomless mimosas AND food. That’s right and food. They are smaller portions but it’s bottomless! So drink up eat up and have a good time with whomever you go with!

We celebrated a friend's birthday by indulging in the bottomless brunch and mimosas, and I have to say, it was phenomenal! From the delicious food to the tempting desserts and excellent mimosas, everything exceeded my expectations. The service was also top-notch, adding to the overall fantastic experience. If you haven't had the pleasure of dining at Sinema yet, I highly recommend it! My review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let me start off by saying the food was mediocre for the price. Somethings were absolutely delicious while others shouldn’t have been brought to the table. The ambience was really laid back and inviting. The service made me not want to return. We had to ask our waiter to come back to our table multiple times. We were there for about 3 hours and he only came voluntarily came over about 3 times. However because they have a mandatory 20% tip automatically added to the ticket, he still got a good tip. The receipt was for 2 brunch buffets, 2 bottomless mimosas, and the 20% gratuity.Kid-friendliness: There were plenty of families with children. However I didn’t see a kids menu.

This was a weeknight dinner.The food just was not very impressive to any of us. The french fries were not crispy. The pierogies appetizers only came with 3. The lamb shank was fine, the burger was fine. The best thing that we had was the bread appetizer with lemon ricotta spread. It was delicious. The look and vibe of the place is great. It just feels like more effort needs to be put into the food.
