I know table service is transactional: Patrons want excellent service, servers want excellent tips, and our friendly dance will end with the meal. But at Margot, service never feels transactional. Like the food, it’s been consistently excellent for two-plus decades. Also like the food, it could easily be fussy, but instead comes off casual, despite tremendous education and effort behind the scenes. It’s the difference between being satiated and seen — being waited on and well taken care of.
More Best of Nashville wins: In our Writers’ Choice, Margot Café & Bar has also been named Best Long Goodbye (2026).
