Horrible Service, Alright Food
I went there with a group of family friends and it turned out to be the worst experience with a restaurant I have ever had. The waiter was horrible. He did not introduce himself, was not able to explain the dishes on the menu, and was not...Nashville's Best Kept Secret
I had heard about Macke's through a friend of a friend of a friend; delicious food, gorgeous dining room, great service, romantic atmosphere, live piano music. My husband and I wanted to go somewhere nice for a romantic dinner so we made reservations. The girl who answered the phone was very nice, took our information and even offered directions. We found it easily (in case we had printed out our own directions but didn't need them) The parking garage beneath is well lit and an elevator goes right up to the 2nd floor. We were seated immediately at a cozy table. The dining room is beautiful - fresh flower arrangements, crisp linens, beautiful artwork, and live piano music (the piano man, Bob, plays softly and has a lovely voice) The silverware and table linen was spotless - I am particular about clean plates and silverware. In fact the rest of the restaurant, including the restrooms, is immaculate. Our server, Tabitha, was prompt and very descriptive - she gave a great wine recommendation. We ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese appetizer, which was FABULOUS!! It was big enough to share - very rich and creamy and piping hot. I ordered the rack of lamb and my husband ordered the duck. Both were delicious; the lamb was tender and the bed of cous-cous and a spicy eggplant were an excellent compliment. The duck was one of the best preparations I have ever tried - moist and just the right amount of sweetness from the sauce to balance the richness of the meat. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert, but the table next to ours had, what our server told us was, strawberry cake and a chocolate amaretto cheesecake. Both looked divine. We had a wonderful time - Tabitha had just the right balance of attentiveness and our food was delivered with perfect timing. We plan on going back soon so we can try everything else on the menu!What did they do to make the Chef walk out?
Had lunch at Macke's with my girlfriends on Friday as we usually do but it certainly wasn't up to its usual greatness! Our first problem was it took 25 minutes from us ordering to receiving our food! All of us work but have never in the past not been able to enjoy lunch and some girltalk!! Friend had the salad with apples, pears, and grilled chicken. After removing the apples with brown, mushy spots to another plate, she then said the dressing was not like usual and had too much vinegar in it. I had Toby's fried chicken salad (love when we meet up on Wednesdays b/c the fried chicken is a special and is amazing with gravy & mashed potatoes.) and noticed after eating several bites that the chicken was still pretty pink!! Looking at my watch, realized that there certainly wasn't time to send back and actually that we needed to be getting out if we wanted to make it back to work in time!! We wrote it off to a fluke after having so many great meals there (usually go for dinner at least once every wk or two) but learned when the server returned that the chef had walked after the owners mistreating him for some time! Shame on them! I have been coming here since they opened and also to the other restaurant in Kingston Springs and have become great fans of chef Toby and what he has done for this restaurant the last few years!! Also if you get to meet him is one of the nicest people! She said she wasn't sure where he was and that he did have another job lucky for him!Bridal Brunch Extraordinaire
I wanted a wonderful, out of the ordinary site in the Green Hills area for a bridal brunch for my niece, her bridesmaids, and out of town guests.Magnificent Macke's
We used Macke's for a corporate dinner for out of town customers. Jill made the planning process entirely stress-free. She was always prompt to reply to any questions I had and her attention to detail every step of the way was greatly appreciated.Awesome catering, etc!
Macke's catered my nieces wedding reception this past weekend and exceeded our expectations on every front! The food, flowers and staff were amazing. Jill, Jan and Alvy were such a pleasure to work with and provided us with a lovely event that received many compliments. On top of the delicious food and gorgeous flowers, we had many comments on the kind, southern hospitality their staff provided. We would use them again in a heartbeat!Outstanding catering
Macke's recently catered my Dad's retirement party in Bowling Green, Ky. and created a beautiful menu with outstanding service! I was a bit nervous about having someone out of town catering the event, but Jill, Jan and Alvy arrived on time and worked their magic! The flowers were perfect for the occasion, the food was de-lish, and the hospitality cannot be beat.Outstanding Brunch and Event Coordinator
We needed a location to host a Vanderbitl graduation brunch for myself and a few friends and family members. I contacted Jill Brothers at Macke's and was BEYOND thrilled with her and the rest of the Macke's crew.Worldwide > United States > Nashville, TN > Restaurants
