Classy place. We went there the night of the CMA awards and it had attracted a sharp crowd. At one point the mayor stopped in for dinner with his family. But no Taylor Swift sightings :(
The food is the quality you'd expect for the price, but what I'll remember most about this place is the atmosphere.
This is just for the bar area as we only got drinks and some bar food here. I had a deliciously strong chocolate martini and we also got a hummus plate. The hummus had a bit too much garlic, but was still tasty. The naan that came with it was not the buttery, soft, melt in your mouth kind of naan, but rather a toasty, crispy version. I was thrown aback at first, but then embraced the crunchy goodness. My boyfriend had some kind of korean beef dish which he enjoyed.
The bar is beautiful and the waitresses that served us were model examples of what Southern Hospitality is - engaging, charming, humble, and friendly. I'd definitely come back.
My hubby and I LOVE this place...so much that we had our wedding reception at the Bound'ry in the Phoenix Room. Their Lobster BLT pizza is to die for!! Great food, wine, cocktails and atmosphere!
We have been to Boundry a few times and the food has always been very good, but this last time the service and the food was worthy of this rating. I will say that it was parents weekend at Vanderbilt so it was very crowded. But we did have reservations and still got seated 1 1/2 hours after our reservation time. Then we waited at least 1/2 hour after ordering for our food. By the time we got served it was 10:30. They did give us free appetizer (which was very good). When the meal came one of the steaks was blood rare and not even warm on the inside. It was sent back 2 times until it was finally rare (it was ordered Medium). They took that off the bill as well.
We will probably give it one more try the next time we are in Nashville because the meals and service have been pretty good in the past.
One of my favorite places. The Lobster BLT pizza and the Ostrich are incredible. Great place for a special occasion or just meeting up with friends.
Went about a month and a half ago with some friends and family. We had an amazing experience and meal! Every single thing that was ordered was fabulous! Our server was also great!
We were all so incredibly full after our meal but our server talked us into the popcorn ice cream. We were hesitant but decided to indugle and were sure happy we did...it was great!
I cannot recommened this place enough!
great place if you love to drink alot . went there ,,,this friday 11/13 for dinner waited 40 minutes for apps and dinner came about 45 minutes later and the dish was cold. not the plate,,, the food was cold,,,,,,we were starved at this point and just ate it. and the irony of it as was i was told great food takes time,,,,,,hahahhahahaa the highlite of the night for us they did not charge us too leave. will never return.
I have been an avid guest at Boundry since I was first introduced to the restaurant 6 yrs ago. The atmosphere is very relaxing and I really love the upstairs bar, which is a great place for cocktails as well as dining, one of the few places in town you can still enjoy a smoke. Although there are so many other wonderful items to choose from, the lobster pizza is by far my favorite item on the menu. Thanks to a wonderful bar and wait staff it has always been a pleasurable experience for my husband and I at Boundry .
There are very few places that you can buy and smoke a cigar...this is one of them...my hubby like that. I enjoy the outdoor area upstairs because its so caual. Everyone is kinda doing their own thing. groups of ppl, couples, a guy was reading a book on a sofa one time....the staff is very helpful and fun to talk to...try a Kirsten's Gem its awesome. The music is mixed so you don't know what to expect...
Boundry is way overpriced, so understand that fact before you go here. This place gets 4 stars based on their BLT Lobster Pizza alone. It's amazing and really, really tasty. Yes, lobster on a pizza is as good as it sounds.
Great atmosphere, cold beer, friendly staff. Good Nashville hot spot.
The Bound'ry has undergone a renaissance since I went last, scaling back their once-too-broad menu and they are trying to, as my friend Chris puts it, "classing up the joint."
The popular Phoenician tasting appetizer has gotten a makeover with it now being a cheese and meat plate with a few of the original items still left on it. They are stingy with said meat and cheese, so I think I prefer the original incarnation at $3 less a pop. However, I was pleased to see the menu options have been narrowed (still tapas and entrees available), since the Boundry once suffered from Too Many Choices Syndrome. The wine list and bar offerings are still as awesome as ever, and if you can snag a seat on the torch-lit patio outside you are in for a treat. Much better dining than the dark indoors.
This is a large eatery, so getting a table is easy most nights. I go here when I want a touch of fine dining without the wait, need for reservations, dress code or the pretention.
This bar is a nice departure from the usual. It is best described as swankiness meets Swiss Family Robinson.
The drinks are great, and the martinis come in super deluxe sizes were the refill is put on ice waiting for you.
I actually ate here too. My foodie friends love it. (I am more of a drinky then a foodie).
Makers Mark has erased any memory of the food here.
This is a very romantic bar and would be a great seduction local.
DJ! Drop that Haiku,
Romantic. Tingly.
Hot damn! That drink is a beast.
Let me lick your face.
Talent Level ? Vanderbilt girls mixed with young professional hotties.
I give them 4 stars for the martini I had in the upstairs lounge. That was just lovely hanging out up there kind of cozy up in the shade tree with this phenomenal martini on my birthday.
As for the dinner part. I really enjoyed the tapas menu. The entree was just ok. But not memorable. The Boundry has been around Nashville for years and worthy of a visit but there are definitely some more innovative locally owned restaurants that I would say rock my world more.
I went on the worst date of my life at this restaurant. Actually, it was the third worst date of my life (I just recalled two other, more horrible experiences, and am cringing).
The date started fine. I was completely interested in this person. In the midst of my studying, long hours at school and clinic, I had taken a few moments to picture him as my dream man. In my mind he was smart, kind of nerdy in a super sexy way, was going to make a huge difference in the world. He was finishing Med School at Vandy and he just looked to be the Doctors without Borders type. I'd fly off with him and live in a third world country, where I could also put my medical/educational skills to work.
Then I went on a date with him. And he opened his mouth. And ruined all my daydreams. Instead, he was self-absorbed, filthy rich and quite entitled, and made it clear that I was blessed to be in his awesome presence. I found that I could only listen to about half of one of his sentences before I began to vomit in to my mouth. "Can you believe I was expected to stay in a 3 star hotel? The horror of it all..." "I almost died when I found out his home only had 4 bathrooms. Can you even imagine?" "She bought me a shirt from Gap. Gap? I was so insulted." "While summering in..."
I often remind friends of how he introduced himself to me that night. It still makes me burst out laughing. He gave his first and last name (I knew him, and knew his name, so not sure why this was needed) as well as the town he was from. "Hello. I am ________ ________ of the Atlanta ________'s." As if I would know him by his reputation alone...Gag me. But the only good part to the date was, he didn't shut up the entire time, so I had plenty of time to study the menu, enjoy my meal and half of his (I had the ostrich, he had the trout), and order a yummy dessert (a peanut butter pie...to die for). I also had ample time to admire the decor (it's beautiful: open kitchen, brick wood oven, murals and sculptures...), eavesdrop on people nearby (I heard a proposal), and go over the notes for my test I had the next day in my head. All while he filled me in on his general wonderfulness, sharing stories of his travels abroad as he blessed many countries with his mere presence...blah, blah, blah. He didn't get a kiss. And I quickly erased his number from my phone. And decided that I wouldn't waste my time dating again until I was done with grad school.
All in all, Bound'ry is a great restaurant and if you are able to really enjoy the food and the menu (because your date is insanely boring), it's even better.
Boundry was one of my first dining experiences in Nashville, and I continue to enjoy it! It has a pretty good weekend scene (here I call "weekends" Thurs-Sat), although there can be some overly cheesy people there at times. Of course, this is just one girl's opinion!
Anyway--pros to Boundry would be the food--their menu now has tapas, tastings, and entree options. A lot of the plates come in 2 "sizes" as well, which is great depending on the size group you have. We love to order several different dishes, and normally go the "tastings" size route. I recommend the lobster BLT pizza, the seafood paella, the Phoenician--by far my favorite!!!!!! Also good are the steamed mussels and the calamari.
Other pros: drinks are creative--my favorite is the strawberry mojito. Their wine list is OK too--but again, I'm not a "wine snob" so it's OK with me! Out on the patio they have new "fire pit" tables--in the winter they are great to keep warm and still sit outside. Not sure if they will use that feature in the summer or what! Still a great patio area though. Nice upstairs bar too, a little better for groups up there.
Cons would be: drinks are pricey for what they are. Service is OK but can be kind of slow. If you want to make sure you get a table for dinner, make a reservation! The bar is full-service though, both upstairs and down. I rarely eat at a regular table! Parking is pretty non-existent like so many other places in Nashville, but just valet to save yourself the heartache.
Overall, I do recommend Boundry to anyone and everyone!
Boundr'y definitely has the reputation as being a hip and trendy restaurant/bar in Nashville. I've been several times and honestly have never been blown away by the food. It has a modern and fun atmosphere, I'll give Boundr'y that. But, they change the menu fairly often, which can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. I went Friday night and found, much to my dismay, that my favorite sesame Tuna Nori Roll is now off the menu. In fact, glancing over the menu, I really didn't recognize much on it.
My table ordered the humus for a starter, and received about four slices of pita bread to go with it. We asked for more, which they brought. However, at the end of the night they charged us $3.00 extra, for what would amount to half a piece of pita bread. I was going to order the Punchy Pasta, which is basically a pasta primavera, and asked them if I could add shrimp to it. Our server told me "sure," then came back and informed me that they would charge me $8.00 for one shrimp!! Please!!! I ended up ordering the sweet potato falafel, which was good. Very light and just what I wanted.
I think think Boundr'y is pretty pricey for what you get. A friend of mine ordered another seafood pasta dish and said it was tasty. But, yet again, they rationed her pasta. She got about 1/2 cup. Between the pita and the pasta we wondered if someone was suggesting we take up the No Carb Diet!
They do have a good drink menu. Boundr'y doesn't have too many wines by the glass, but the Shiraz blend I ordered was nice. The bar is large and pretty roomy, so it's a good place to go with a group. They have small plates, large plates, and regular entrees. I suggest ordering several small plates, called "Tastings" and share them. If you have 4 people, order 5-6 small plates or 3 large plates. The large plates really aren't all that large!! Otherwise you might leave hungry!
Thiis my favorite restaurant in Nashville.
Get seated upstairs in the bar area. There is a great tree coming up through the indoor/outdoor deck on which you are seated. I have great memories sitting here with friends on a warm summer night.
The food is quite good with a large selection of tapas, including really good lobster, a nice softshell crab and succulent scallops.
They also have a nice selection of cigars so you can site outside on the bar paio and enjoy with friends. It is a little sceney with the music producer crowd, but the ambience, colors, patio and fireplace are worth putting up with the chodes
The Boundry is an okay joint if you can hang in the bar (either upstairs or down). I wasn't that impressed with the wait staff, as they made me feel like I was interrupting their lives. The food is okay- I mainly stick with the Phanician - which is delish!
I wasn't impressed with the Lemondrop Martini I ordered- straight vodka with a squirt of lemon? Not so much.
Not a bad place, the vibe is chill and the crowd can be a mix of business partners and hipsters.
I would not go here if it weren't across the street from my apartment. Even then, I only go for the very occasional $10 martini when I'm in the mood. The place is scene-y in a bad way and my experiences with the food aren't that great. I went with a friend tonight for a good drink and ended up ordering tapas. We had to ask our (seemingly nonexistant) waitress for silverware twice, and by the time she got around to bringing it we were using our fingers. Not what you'd expect for tapas that cost $11 and $15 respectively--at lest not in Nashville. This isn't the first time I've had bad service experiences.
The upstairs bar is better than the downstairs one. The service is better up there, especially before things get really busy. There also seem to be a better vibe. The time before this Boyfriend and I were finishing up a pre-dinner drink when a group of about 8 "I think I'm much cuter than I a actually am and I'm here to pick up somebody wealthy" young women came in. We got the hell out of there as fast as we could. As it stands now, the experiences for me are leaning in the negative column. Its not quite as good as Sambuca or Cabana for the same type of scene.
They had awesome food, which you could also get as tapas... very fun funky atmosphere. the mussels were fab! There was a crazy wait so i recommend reservations, which u might still have to wait . it has valet parking for free, so tip the guys well.
I took a star away for the wait and the service was slow even though there were 2 servers waiting on us...but i would definitely go back!
My gf and I went there last wed night and this nashville 'tried and true' definitely had its ups and downs. After ordering my favorite bottle of wine (the waitress had never tasted it), we ordered 4 tapas - the lobster blt pizza, scallops, tuna roll and, after our waitress's recc, the baked artichoke.
Biting into the artichoke was like chewing on the heel of my cork sandals. I will only send something back if I physically cannot eat it - and although my shoes were really cute, I didn't want to eat them. So back it went and our waitress brought us the mussels instead. She took it off the bill without a blink - thus the 2 stars.
The mussels were good at first, until my gf bit into one and said "that one tasted like dog shit." We left the rest.
Great food, extensive wine list, huge beer selection and a big tree in the bar! Very cool restaurant with an eclectic crowd. Valet parking.
I didn't give those four stars necessarily for the food, which is good but not mindblowing, but rather I gave them for the ambiance. The tree coming up through the upstairs porch, the awesome music (they were rocking Annie, Felix da housecat, ladytron....) and let's be honest here, it's an attractive crowd. The food is nothing to complain of, but it's overpriced and small portions. Good for ordering with a group so you can try all kinds of dishes. This is a classy bar/restaurant by all accounts, and not stuffy, either. Enjoyed!
By all accounts, the food was only okay. Nothing too special. My double pork chop was ... okay. The little dessert plate was ... okay.
We had a fun dinner though, mostly because the restaurant was able to accommodate all 12 of us with one table in a semi-private location.
My favorite about this restaurant is their sustainable menu. I have had the best aged steak (organic, of course) in my life here. Very recommended
This is one of the better restaurants in Nashville. It's got a nice, trendy, yet artistic scene. The outdoor seating can be a pleasure on a nice evening, though some of the tables are very close to each other and overhearing another table's conversation can be hard to ignore. The menu has an ample selection of dishes, all very good and reasonably priced. I have eaten at Boundry numerous times and some of my favorites include the wood roasted artichoke and the crispy seared duck breast and confit leg. Alas, I did have a poor dining incident this past Sunday where the kitchen must have been trying to put the food out too quickly as the duck and salmon entrees that my friend and I had were a little undercooked, but overall this doesn't happen often and I would still give Boundry high marks.
Going to the Boundry for its bar scene can be cool. The downstairs bar is a friendly place though sometimes a little too yuppy. The upstairs treehouse is great and has some nice seating, though in the winter it does get really smoky.
Boundary is one of the most consistent restaurants around town, definitely a favorite of mine. Everything on the menu is superb and sometimes it is great just to get a bunch of tapas dishes and try everything. The lobster pizza is phenomenal. It has smoked gouda cheese and bacon, to die for. The mussels are also pretty good, but I prefer to go with the shrimp and grits because they have a little bite to them. The service is great at Boundary and combined with the unique interior, this place rocks!
I love Boundr'y and I always have. It's my "go to" when it comes to a special evening. They have some really great vegetarian dishes my favorite of which is the panella. I love tasting all the fun breads they bring to your table with the great tomato butter. And I love the brie stuffed artichoke (i'm sad to hear that Rachel K had a bad one because i've never had one that wasn't amazing.). I have taken everyone from prom dates to out of town guests here and never had a bad experience.
Our company took care of us very well while visiting Nashville. One of the highlights of the trip was our evening at Bosco's. We reneted out the whole top floor and dines on some darn good food. Open bar didnt' hurt and we even had some of the most amazing live entertainment ever. We even got their CDs as a souvenier. This sounds corny but it was a magical night and the artists had some of us in tearts by the end of the evening.
Boundry has been one of my favorite places to go for dinner or just drinks for years. They have one of the best menus in town and the atmosphere is always interesting namely the people watching. I've been a long time fan of the Boundry Caesar Salad and they offer hands down the best Tiramisu in town.
Boundr'y is always a fun place to go for after dinner drinks with a group. Very trendy - full of pretty people. Great drinks and a fab wine list. Sit upstairs - cool couches and lighting, and the "windows" open when it's nice outside. This place packs 'em in, so expect to wait!
boundry is one of the most eclectic restaurants that nashville has to offer from everything from the decor to the extensive tapas and large plates menu and drink list...
boundry has undergone a huge and fabulous makeover over the past year and now is even cozier than ever before. the upstairs bar is flanked by volumptuous curtains and has a lounge feel to it with both larger high tables and couches with tables and then a nice sized bar, downtairs there is another bar with a cool ice part to it that runs along the top of the bar that you can set your drink on to keep it cold.. and then tables against the outside windows that wrap around behind the bar that diners can sit down at and grab a drink and food and then you have all the tables and booths in the main part of the restaurant plus even other rooms for special affairs...
the menu has both tapas sizes to every item and a large size that you can eat as a whole meal, but the best way to eat at boundry is to get a bunch of tapas amongst everyone and share. i love the *phoenecian* which has a long plate filled with roasted garlic, chutney, pesto, hummus, feta, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and mozzerrella with bread and naan, they serve complimentary tomato (a sweet) butter and warm fresh breads. they also have a pizza oven in which they make amazing pizzas.
boundry's menu is very eclectic and changes weekly with daily specials and awesome desserts as well
i love boundry and will always love eating there
I'm so so sorry I went to Boundry. I recently visited this restaurant with my friends, for their birthday. I am not one to leave a bad review, but i literally have never had a worse experience at any restaurant. 2nd round of drinks took a half hour to deliver, and the waiter dropped them and ran (even giving, and charging for 2nd rounds that no-one ordered). We finally flagged him down to order food, and again, over a half hour later, 6 of our plates were brought out. yey, right? wrong. the remaining 3 plates were completely forgotten about and took another 30 minutes to be delivered. In the meantime, round three came, and this time, the waiter literally dropped my boyfriend's beer on his lap. At this point, we just wanted to get OUT ASAP, so we said to forget about getting another beer. "No, no, i insist! i will get you another on the house, said the waiter. "okay, thanks," said boyfriend. and we went ahead and asked for the check. Clock ticks...FOURTY FIVE MINUTES, are you kidding? the check finally came, after I asked for the manager. and guess what? there was a 20% gratuity added on, since we were over 6 people. And guess what else? That "on the house beer" to make up for my boyfriend's wet lap...never came. I thought we might be on a hidden camera show at that point, but then the manager came out, we explained our THREE AND A HALF HOUR ORDEAL (for drinks and apps, mind you), and he apologized, taking back all the checks and comp-ing the whole meal. But seriously, too little too late. Sorry Boundry, i can't waste any more nights in your restaurant.
A great restaurant for whatever you are in the mood for. The bar is great for hanging out and enjoying drinks. The beer and wine list is large enough that anyone can find something they like. This includes Belgian Ales which I haven't seen at many restaurants.
Whether it's appetizers or a meal the food is excellent. A smaller and more gourmet menu, but once again it's still a pretty sure bet that everyone will find something they like.
Last minute decision to hit this place on a Sunday night, fairly late. Immediately impressed with the personality at the front door, of both the place and the host. Fire burning at the outside tables for warmth was tempting given the cool night, but we picked the room next to the pizza oven instead. Table had vodka martinis, only partially poured, with the balance kept on ice... excellent. Dinner included Idaho ostrich (excellent), sweet tea chicken (phenomenal), Tenn trout (very, very, very good) and a tamale special (not great). Desert of chocolate cake and cheese cake were both excellent... we moved outside by the fire for those and another bottle of red (Carmenere, Chile, good stuff)... server (Jerry) was a good guy, good stories, and very welcoming to us Northerners. Find this place (tucked away)... very worth it. Lots of different types of tables, ambiance-wise Big place. Varied menu. No complaints.
