My wife and I are big fans of the other locally owned restaurants in Nashville so decided to give Flyte's a try for our anniversary. We were severely disappointed. The restaurant was excessively noisy, anything but romantic, but we could live with that. What we could not live with was the food. I started with a trio of scallops to start the meal, they were excellent. Unique flavors that I would not have put together but will now and it tasted delicious. My wife started with a salad that she enjoyed. If we would have left at that point we would have been happy. I followed the scallops with an entree of wild game with a cola reduction paired with potatoes. I was intrigued with the combination on the menu and after the scallops had high hopes. Extremely sweet, over the top can?t taste anything else sweet on well done meat! Very disappointing. Believe it or not my wife?s fish entree was even sweeter, as was her rice and everything else on the plate, nothing to cut the sweetness of her fish. She gave up and just ate the potatoes on my plate. We decided that the Chef had a sweet tooth that night, or switched the salt with the sugar. When the waiter asked if we would like to see the dessert menu my wife laughed and after he left said that she thought we had already eaten dessert. We both also had a flight of wine with our food courses. The wine alone was very good, but paired with overly sweetened food became lost. We hope that our experience was a fluke, we had heard good things about Flyte?s, but given the price of the dinner for the two of us versus what we were served we will not be going back to find out.
