We dined at Flyte for the first time on 1/17/09. We had plenty of time, arriving at 5:00 and had an 8:00 show at TPAC. We heard about Flyte from Zola's personnel, who recommended it as another fine establishment in Nashville. We completely agree. Our server was Joseph and he was there as often as we needed. He moved here from New Orleans, and it was evident that he is a professional server as he made our dining experience incredibly pleasant. Nashville needs more attentive people like him. He suggested some different wines from their list of over 100 by the glass. We tried a couple of them and chose a favorite for dinner. We started with the Chickpea encrusted cauliflower, which he recommended. It was great - crispy and spicy, never knew you could combine chickpeas and cauliflower. We then had a couple of fabulous salads - will probably have the flyte of salads next time so we can try all 3. We had the pan seared Kingfish and the Turkey. The combination of Kingfish, delicate sauces and goat cheese polenta was incredible. It was just enough food to not be stuffed or need leftovers. It was just right. The turkey entree was incredibly moist - and did not remind you of Thanksgiving dinner. They also serve water chilled and not over ice, which we love. We definitely recommend this restaurant for its food and service. It is nice to go to a local Nashville restaurant, which may be highly priced, and have the food and service exceed expectations.
