Re: “Lime [Closed]”
Closed. Nashville couldn't appreciate it. This place was fabulous - The coktails were inventive and tasty, and the tapas style food was excellent (never tried the entrees, so I can't speak for those). Sorry to see it go.

Re: “Carmike Hickory 8”
You can't beat a big screen and surround for 2 bucks. On the down side, I've been in truck stop men's rooms that smelled better and the joint is falling apart.

.............GREAT POLKA BAND! And good beer.......'Nuff said
Re: “Uncle Classic Barber Shop”
Great experience! Cool and old school with a twist of the modern, this place is a gentlemans paradise. Extremely nice staff! I go to Matt. He's easy to talk to and very skilled. Hooks me up perfectly every time. Plus this guy's a 3rd generation barber. I'm pretty sure the entire staff is around the same quality too. Go to Uncles you will wanna go back.
Re: “International Market And Restaurant”
Went here on lunch today. Fast service and pleasant staff. The food however was not the greatest. :( Meat was overcooked and food was somewhat blan. The market part had most basic essentials (most of which you could find in a regular grocery store), but not much else.
Re: “Mary's Old Fashioned Pit Barbecue”
We bought groupons and started off with the fish sandwiches and bbq. The fish was dried out and chewy and the bbq was far from fall of the bone. I was not impressed with the building itself but sometimes you get those "hole in the walls" and usually the food is pretty good. In this case the food was bad and so was the customer service. I will never buy another groupon for this place or personally support them.
Re: “Mad Platter”
My husband and I thought we would catch a nice dinner before meeting friends downtown later in the evening. On the Saturday night of 8/26/12 (8pm seating), the restaurant was only 30% full with no one waiting for a table. Now we know why:
The kitchen and/or server lost our dinner order for over an hour; the waitstaff was apologetic but nonplussed (i.e., "this happens all the time") .
My husband requested no onions in one dish which, when finally delivered an hour and a half after ordering, was chock full of onions - with much more onions than any normal recipe might have reasonably been expected to include (Shrimp and grits), which felt like an intentional slight after an hour and a half of waiting for the order.
Duck and gnocchi: Duck breast was properly prepared (juicy and rare) but gnocchi was dry (undercooked) and the dish had no sauce to speak of on the plate.
We are extremely easy to please and aren't true foodies. The restaurant did comp the Shrimp and grits and offered a dessert gratis, which was a good effort to appease. However, we can't return here with clients or friends due to the uncertainty of the food and service, so we will not be back.
I should also point out to the dating community that the atmosphere is dreary and spartan and therefore Mad Platter is not a good choice to impress a dinner date.
Perhaps you'll have better luck.
Re: “Pomodoro East”
I went with my wife on Saturday night for dinner 2nd time and I will never go back!
We were there when they first opened and had enjoyed it very much. But recent visit is not good. The wait staff was dis-organized. I'd ordered a glass of Chianti (my wife doesn't drink) and Mussels Antipasti to share and for entree - Flat iron Steak and Chicken and mushroom pizza. The Mussels was cooked in the wood oven and it was average (We liked the one at mAmbu more). then we waited at least 20 minutes for our entrees to come to table.. many folks were seated later than us had already gotten their food. Our waitress kept "Yapping" to other tables and had forgotten our food. Finally the food came out. the steak and pizza were cold (clearly has been sitting at the service station for sometime after it prepared)...The waitress apologized and said it just came out the window (what window?) and do not know what happen. The manager came by and again apologized and promised to make us fresh if we want to wait. ok. Since we waited this long. Well. They just re-heated them. The steak now over-cooked than what we ordered "medium rare" and the pizza - well (taste like I just nuked the left-over pizza from microwave). It's ashamed. I really liked their pizza, however I did not go there and eat a greasing "left-over" pizza!
The apologetic waitress offered us free dessert - on the house but we declined. We paid and left.
Re: “Bookman/Bookwoman Rare & Used Books”
Looking for a book? You'll find it here. And I dare you to ask a staff member if they have something. There are thousands of books in that store, and they know every one of them.
Re: “Lipscomb University”
I've had illusions of attending this university ever since I was 16 or 17. The campus is beautiful. It's also small, so one wouldn't have to sprint to get to class on time. All of the staff I have encountered (I tried to attend last fall: EPIC fail) have been very helpful and very friendly. I attended UTM for 5 years, and getting answers out of the different departments was like asking a two-year-old what they want for dinner. The reason my attending was an epic fail is because this is a private university and the tuition is very expensive.
Re: “Frothy Monkey”
Frothy Monkey is the BEST of 2012 and every year after. Awesome people and wonderful atmosphere
Re: “Noshville”
I was introduced to this great place to eat by an English friend who lives in Nashville. I later took some other friends along. The food is good, with plenty of choice to suit pretty much all tastes.
