The Chef and I on Ninth

Kay Allisan

Went here for an upscale experience as a TN visitor and got the 5 course tasting. Beware- these are truly samples. Like when the food is almost ready and you take a bite for yourself to see if it’s good. VERY SMALL. We ordered this and knew immediately that we would need food after. We knew we were tasting food but for the amount we paid, there should have been more food or something should have been added as complimentary to show us the value of what we ordered. The pic I posted is a 3rd of the portion they gave. The TASTE of the food was great. The night we came, we got to enjoy 2 types of fish, pork belly, duck, and cheese with the tiniest bacon strips I ever saw to compliment it. Also- the “chef” experience is more like video surveillance of the chefs blasted on a wall in the middle of the restaurant. Overall- food was tasty, there was a small amount of it, and it was quite expensive. Get that pocketbook ready and eat before you arrive if you plan to sample foods. 👀

Amazing experience. Super friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and great food. We had some really tasty appetizers and then a couple of our group did the chef’s tasting which did not disappoint. It had quail, cheeses, ahi tuna, lobster, and so much more. Other people in the group got the steak and salt pork, which they both really liked. Drinks and wine were also both really great. I highly recommend!

My wife and I loved our dinner at Chef and I. It was a wonderful experience. The food is delicious. The restaurant is very pleasant. We got to sit in front of the chef and cooking staff. We got to meet the General Manager (Melissa), a cook (Sam) and the kitchen manager (Marcella). They are such wonderful people and culinary experts. Listen up - Chef and I is clearly one of Nashville’s must go restaurant. Make your reservations well in advance. Go enjoy a great culinary experience.

Sooooo good! We celebrated our anniversary here and it was a great experience. I wish I could eat here every night! We didn’t do the course menu but opted to pick our own options. The Brussels sprouts and cauliflower starters were my definitely favorite items, but everything was fantastic. The chefs were very friendly and it was so cool to watch them at their craft. Highly recommend!
