Flyte World Dining & Wine

Saturday night was my third time dining at Flyte, and every time its been better and better. I've been waiting to write this review to see if the first time was a fluke or not, but I can now write with confidence.... Flyte is fantastic! We didn't make a reservation and they were completely booked, so we sat at the bar (which is gorgeous by the way). The wine list format is unusual (in a good way), with lots of information and even pronunciations for foreign wines. I'm a wine drinker and most of the list is unfamiliar to me, but I like to experiment! As far as I can tell, there isn't a bad bottle on the list... and I've tasted about a dozen by now, thanks to the cool ""wine flytes"" which let you taste three wines at once. The food, for the third time in three weeks, was superb... but I was disappointed to see they had taken the tuna off the menu (which was so good I'd ordered it both times up til then). I went ahead and had the swordfish and was even more impressed. The presentation was simply stunning. Berries and painted sauces adorned the dish. Mushrooms and some other vegetable I can't remember (squash?) were so beautiful and delicious they almost outshined the fish (almost). The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned, with just enough sauce to let the flavor of the fish shine through. The sauces were absolutely delicious. They also put an unusual lemon drink ON THE PLATE with the fish which I was informed was to add acidity to the dish and cleanse the palate. Very cool. In fact, the only negative I can think of is that the temperature in the women's bathroom area was very cold, which I was told they are working on fixing. Other than that, Flyte is a winner. We can't wait to go back! PS - I should say that my other two experiences were in the dining room, where we had *perfect* service both times. BOTH owners (both named Scott, as was our server!) visited my table on one occasion to make sure we were happy. We were! We'll be back soon, and often. Pros: Great wine list, fabulous food, beautiful presentations, super friendly staff Cons: coooold bathroom more

Small Portions. High Prices. Mediocre Flavor. Super Disappointed. Pros: Great Wine List. Cons: Pricey! more

Although the location of the restaurant seems odd at first (located next to one of Nashville's ""Adult"" venues), once you walk in you forget where you are and feel right at home. The warm, inviting colors of the walls, the amazing artwork... more

It's apparent from -- (1) the decor (from the warm glow of the lighting to the neutral toned tiled bar),(2) the carefully chosen wine selections (divided on the list not just into white and red but Old World and New World as well) and (3) of course the inventive but delicious menu -- that the owners and staff of this place take great pride in presenting their customers with a great experience. Pros: staff, ambience, selections Cons: watch for payement irregularities in the parking lot more

Very hip and urban atsmosphere, but not the snotty staff that usually goes with it. Pros: They all seemed like pros to me! Cons: I don't know if there were any cons there or not... more

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the soft opening of Flyte. Its was incrediable. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was light and airy. Very different from most restaurants in town. A wonderful change of pace. I would highly recommended taking an evening to enjoy this new restaurant you won't be disappointed. Pros: parking, ambience, food selection. Cons: a little pricey but worth every penny more
