Nero's Grill

I love Nero's! It's a great place to go for a leisurely lunch or a romantic dinner. The food is always outstanding. The staff at Nero's really makes me feel like they want me there. There is always a friendly face at the entrance to say hello. The servers are attentive without being overbearing and my glass is never empty. It's one of the few, reasonably priced restaurants in the area, that I've found, that will let you make a reservation, no matter how big or small your group is! I eat here often and always make a point of taking out of town guests there at least once during their visit. more

It is great to visit a place with local history & ownership as well as meet the 2nd generation owner. more

I won't lie: it is pretty darned good. I did not have the best of customer experiences here (my waiter seemed somewhat dazed), but the steak was well done and I had no complaints with the bill. more

What a wonderful neighborhood restaurant Nero's Grill has turned out to be. We weren't sure what to expect our first time dining there over a year and a half ago but have been there more times than we can count and they meet our expectations each time. The menu is quite large and offers something for everyone whether you are looking for a inexpensive lunch or a great steak dinner. My personal favorites are the Potato encrusted Halibut and Chicken Piccata. My husband's favorites are the Elk tenderloin and their large Strip steak. Our kids enjoy the ribs, crunchy trout, cobb salad and prime rib. While service when they first opened could sometimes be shaky it has been over a year since we had any service issues. We see the same great servers each time. Please ask for Andy, Wayne or Matt they will meet your expectations. What a great find in the heart of Green Hills! Pros: Friendly, Well trained staff Great food at great prices more

My family has been to Nero's on many occasions. We have always been pleased with the exceptional service, and delicious food. My 13 year old eats cornbread now, thanks to the famous corn cakes! One of my favorite aspects of Nero's is their ability accommodate group parties of all sizes. They have a small private dining room in the front that is perfect for an extended family or any small group gathering, but they can also accommodate a large group in the back dining room. One of my favorite events was held in the bar; it was a surprise birthday party for a good friend. It was a big group, but we never felt crowded, and everyone seemed to enjoy the appetizers, tasty drinks and the casual relaxed atmosphere. I am really fond of the crab cakes, both as an appetizer and as one of their entree menu items, Yummy!!! They have a great event co-coordinator and he was on hand to make sure every detail of the party was just perfect. Recently we enjoyed a special event dinner and wine tasting that featured the wines of Ray Merlo. The price per person was all inclusive, except for gratuity, and we enjoyed a different wine with each course, what a deal! We will continue to make Nero's our first choice for family dining, or for our next big event. Thanks to all of you at Nero's who make it one of Nashville?s best! more

My wife and I ate at Nero's on Sunday night. Our server, Andy, came to our table with a warm friendly smile. He steered us towards the specials for the evening and took the time to explain the preparation and even had the knowledge to suggest a wine pairing for the bacon-wrapped prawns. Needless to say, our food and service were extraordinary, and we felt like we were treated like family during our dinner. We will definitely be back again to dine at Nero's and will certainly ask for Andy again! more

I have been to Nero's MANY times, and am finally sitting down to write a review. I have had many of their dishes over the past few months and my favorites are the Bleu Cheese stuffed Filet, the Cobb Salad, and the Coconut Shrimp. But everything I have had there has been excellent. I love the low-key, comfortable setting in the bar, and the great atmosphere in the restaurant. Now that the winter is back, I'm going to love going in there for the fireplaces! I usually sit in the bar to meet friends, and if I am early, the bartenders give great service, and are alot of fun. I love bringing friends there because I can always be confident the food will be outstanding, the drinks perfect, and the service amazing--and now I don't even have to suggest Nero's because my friends suggest it to me! Thanks so much for a fantastic place, John and Judy!! Pros: service, food, atmosphere, drinks Cons: n/a more

Some friends and I went on a double date this past Sunday evening. When we arrived, we were pleased that there was immediate seating. Once seated we ordered our drinks, then our meals. It took 20 minutes to get our salads. By the time we got our food an hour and 5 minutes had passed (there were only 5 or 6 other tables of people in the restaurant). My friend and I ordered Chicken Picata, which was basically flavorless and the noodles were over cooked. My friends boyfriend ordered Pork Tenderloin, that came in medallion size pieces. and when he cut into it, it was purple on the inside. It looked like it had just been placed on the grill long enough to sear the outside. The last time I checked pork is supposed to be cooked thoroughly, which means it is the same color all the way through. He didn't send it back because the service was so slow. It took 3 people just to fill our glasses of water. While we were there, only one table who was full when we got there left and no one had a party larger than 6 people. This should tell you something since we were there an hour and 40 minutes. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. As a matter of fact, my friend and I have told people NOT to go there due to the bad food and service. It is definitely NOT worth the money. Pros: Immediate Seating, Atmosphere Cons: Service, Price, Food more

I had the lettuce wedge with extra red onions and it was wonderful. Then I had the stuffed halibut and it was also delicious. more

I have been to Nero's for Lunch', Dinner and a private party for a 65th anniversary. The best thing about Nero's is the consistency in all aspects. The facility is always spotless, the service has never been lacking, even in the back room with a large crowd placing many orders and the food is GREAT. While the menu is not a Mc Donald's value meal, Mc Donald's does not serve Steaks, Elk, Salmon etc.. with fresh vegetables. Since I have been there multiple times spanning from the opening to last night I rate Nero's Five ( 5 ) Stars. The best testament, I took my daughter to dinner and she loved the food, a 21 year old girl can be very critical when it comes to food, so I feel I am in good company in my opinion.

We were out shopping the other day and decided to try Nero's. The place is nice, the wait staff is friendly. The food was not worth the money. The corn bread cakes were greasy, and tasted like the oil was old. We ordered the tilapia. It was cold. It also tasted like frozen fish, not fresh. The chicken I got was over cooked, tough, and dry. I don't know who was cooking, but they need some serious quality control in the kitchen. more

I went to Nero's for the first time with two of my best friends from school last night. The food (I had Bo's Pasta) was great, and so was the atmosphere. We ate on the outside patio, which was beautiful. I had a great experience and can't wait to go back. Pros: ambience, service, food Cons: none! more

Finally...a Green Hills restaurant that defines upscale casual without the snooty attitude! This place is amazing...the perfection of the prime rib nearly brought tears to my eyes and I very nearly embarrassed myself with the corn cakes :-). The service was first class...everyone I came in contact with took evident pride in their job and was genuinely nice. The bar area was nearly full when we arrived but the service was flawless and everything perfectly timed. I literally cannot think of a single thing that would have improved on the experience. The jazz singer/pianist would have been worth going to listen to even without the dining experience...she was amazing, and unlike most restaurants offering a live music performance, the room can actually handle the acoustics of the music, so you can enjoy it while being able to carry on a quiet conversation. Amazing experience all around, I can't wait to go back again! Pros: quality of food, flawless service, valet parking Cons: none! more

Nero's was great surpirse. The cornbread is amazing. I went home from Orange County CA to visit my parents and ate at Nero's, the food was terrific. Next time I come back to town, I will stop in to enjoy more of their great southern food and hospitality! more

I will say this very simply. On Friday night I had the best cheeseburger that I have ever had in a full service restaurant. It was perfect. It could not have been better and believe me, I know burgers. Awesome! Pros: great service,great food,great atmosphere more

We're so glad we found Nero's Grill. Its right where Green Hills Grill used to be in Green Hills and its AWESOME! We had lunch there today and it was delicious! They offer Valet parking but you don't have to use it and they have an awesome patio for outdoor seating but we dined inside today. The atmosphere is really nice but the menu is the most impressive aside from the service. The menu is so diverse. They have the best tomato basil soup also- much better than any of the other local sandwich shops! And the chicken salad croissant was incredible. It was perfect. My husband had the warm spinach salad with grilled chicken and we had crabcakes for our appetizer. It was wonderful. I can't wait to go back and try their Sunday Brunch! I hear its the best around. People need to come check out this place! Its the new treasure of a restaurant in Green Hills and you won't be disappointed. They have everything! And its SO clean, warm and inviting. We also had strawberry cake for dessert which I had never had and it was unbelievable. I can't wait to go back for dinner and Sunday brunch- and of course, lunch again! Pros: Delicious Food, Great Lunch Spot, Service is great, location is perfect, parking is easy. more

My husband and I tried Nero's after a Preds game yesterday for the first time -- what a treat! The corn cakes are fantastic (I could've eaten my weight in those alone), the ribs and steak and biscuits were both delicious entrees, and the mojito martini was to die for. The service and ambiance are great as well; all in all, this is a restaurant I can't wait to get back to. I'm looking forward to trying the steaks, stuffed potatoes, and pastas. My only regret was that I couldn't try everything I wanted on my first trip! Oh, and the oreo snowball was a great way to end the meal -- just enough, not too filling and old-fashioned yummy. Pros: Portion sizes are nice -- not too large. more

Service was great: attentive without being overbearing, an error was fixed promptly and professionally. Great, classy, relaxing atmosphere. Food was wonderful: filet with blue cheese was melt-in-your-mouth satisfying. more

My wife and I were visiting Nashville on Friday night when the city received a rare snowfall. Because of the threat of bad weather, there was no wait for a table. Service was prompt and very friendly. We both ordered rib eye steak and salads. Good steaks, great Martinis, and very good service. Nero?s is well worth a visit. Pros: Steaks, Martinis, Service more

This was a wonderful meal. Extremely tasteful for a fresh water fish. It has a great blend of different flavors and I would recommend it to anyone! more
