the chef brought a phenomenal eggplant based appetizer that was 10/10. I absolutely cannot get the pasta out of my mind! we got both types but the cacio e pepe left me speechless! Last time we came there was a plate that included homemade crackers, peaches and cheese. this time was a sliced apple version of that! everything paired so perfectly together it makes you want to savor every bite. the gnocchi has to be my husband’s favorite, i’d come back every 3 months just to get a new taste of the new seasons menu, I HIGHLY recommend!

20/10. Words cannot describe what a beautiful experience we had at Yolan. My husband and I always have our 3 year old son with us and know that restaurants are not always able to accommodate. Prior to our trip, I reached out to Chelsea and Aayan. They were both so helpful in arranging our reservation and accommodating our son without hesitation. We reserved the chef’s table with tasting menu. There were unavoidable difficulties with the air conditioning in the restaurant and we were seated at the best table in the house outside of the kitchen. This was communicated prior to our arrival. When we were seated, Delphine the manager greeted us and explained the situation again and made sure we had all we needed. She was very kind and checked in on us multiple times throughout the evening. Our server, Gabrielle was absolutely lovely. I have a picky toddler who requested chicken, spaghetti and grapes. We did not expect any of that to be honored but to our surprise, a plate of grapes beautifully served with a flower came out for him followed by spaghetti. It speaks volumes for anyone to pay special attention to a child, much less a busy staff in a high end restaurant. It shows how much they care about the guest experience. Now, the food. Absolutely mind blowing. Incredible. I’m still dreaming about it. The chef, Jeremy, came out to explain each course and spent time showing us how truly passionate he and his team are about the entire experience. The attention to detail, precision and passion that goes into each dish is incredible. I cannot recommend this experience enough. We will be back to Nashville for this experience alone. You guys should be very proud. Extraordinary.

An evening of culinary elegance Every bite felt like poetry—delicate house-made pastas crafted with precision, and the gnocchi... a modern marvel. Pillowy yet structured, each morsel melted with flavor that lingered long after the last forkful. A symphony of taste that calls for a return. Service that felt like an art form Attentive without intrusion, gracious without pretense. Every detail was anticipated, every moment seamless. It’s the kind of hospitality that elevates a beautiful meal into an unforgettable experience.

We went here for our 41st anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was raining terribly but the covered valet at the hotel entrance took care of that. We started with a drink in the bar outside the restaurant and that was rather slow as I finally had to ask for service but after that everything went well. They have some good half bottles of wine at relatively decent prices. We split the Mercato salad and had the Focaccia with Ricotta. Steak tartare next then we shared an order of Bucatini (definitely going back for this) before our main course of Gnocchi (me) and duck for my wife. The duck was memorable and also worthy of another visit. Gelato for dessert and a Zenzero espresso like martini. Shelly was our server. Great support staff. The only food item we would not order again were the roasted cipollini onions...they were lacking...tastes like someone had torched them in the kitchen vs truly roasting. Overall a great night. Excellent food, drinks and service.

I took my wife there after she’d been to an all day interview. She loves Italian food. I saw the chef had received 12 Michelin stars, and we don’t have an opportunity to eat at a place like this where we live. Let me just say that we were blown away by the food. The taste? Unlike anything we’ve ever had before. The service? Spot on from the valet to the wait staff. The atmosphere? Clean, modern, and comfortable. The price? Not as much as it should have been! The snow had Nashville all but completely shut down, so our experience was heightened by only sharing the restaurant with about only 7 other couples. Worth every penny and every minute it took to get there. Thanks to everyone there who made our night special. Keenan(sp?), you were right on all your recommendations and knew the menu inside and out. We will definitely return with friends...

Had an amazing dinner at Yolan. I was alone so sat at the bar. It was a chill night and bartenders were knowledgeable about menu. Food was great, ordered mercato Buratta salad and spaghetti alla chittera for dinner. Both were great! For dessert had pear upside down cake and it was beautiful and delicious!!

Incredible dining experience from start to finish. The lamb and the steak were incredible. My wife is a bread enthusiast, and the sourdough focaccia is the best she's ever had. The service was exceptional. We will be back every time we are in Nashville.
