He Said, She Said Restaurant Reviews

The Finch is a cool new presence in Nashville, occupying the old Flying Saucer Taproom next to the Frist Art Museum. The Finch is a great food and drink venue with a breath of fresh air in decor and menu. We love it. You will too. Welcome to Nashville! Enjoy!

Cipriani is an Italian restaurant gem that we found in Las Vegas. Cipriani is a well-known name in the global hospitality industry, and we were lucky enough to stumble into one of their most recent restaurants in Las Vegas. Great food and even greater service make Cipriani one of our faves in Las Vegas and, really, anywhere! We know you will love it as much as we do. Listen now and give it a try.

This quaint but awesome Bistro style restaurant is on the outskirts of Belle Meade in Nashville. Tremendous food with a great small bar, good service, and plenty of character. We liked it and we're pretty sure you will too. Be ready to wait unless you made reservations. It's busy... for good reason! Listen while we give you the 411 about this interesting place to eat, drink, and hang out.

"Where Southern Italian cuisine meets Southern hospitality"... interesting, huh? Mimo is a very cool downtown Nashville hotel restaurant... not sure about the chain but It has a flair that interested us and food that was very appetizing. It's easy to access, easy to enjoy, interesting menu options, and delicious food. If you're downtown for a concert... check it out! Join us for our review. bn / smn

We're still traveling... eating, drinking, and hanging out in the southeastern US. Today we're in Hickory North Carolina visiting with friends who took us to an awesome, local, one-of-a-kind restaurant... Charolais (named after a French breed of taurine cattle, apparently known as the best breed for beef production in the world). Join us for a quick visit and let us tell you about this little NC gem.

Sandi and I decided to venture into NC to visit some family members and generally throw down at the Biltmore Estate. Well, much to our surprise we were introduced to a fabulous restaurant... the Red Stagg Grill, just across the street from the Biltmore. Great food, Great Service, Great Memories. Give it try whenever you're in the area. You won't be disappointed. Join us!

Downtown Nashville at the River House, a newish, upscale restaurant with great good and great service. We felt - and tasted - a fresh atmosphere for Music City with a cosmo-downtown feel. Please join us.

This is a good one. Get the chickens out of the way, move away from the scooters... we're all about the Grand Cafe, a great Key West dining spot with food and service to die for. Oh, and did I mention the outstanding art by Jerzy Paterek? With a cozy dining room, a semi-secret bar, and a huge front porch overlooking the crazy wonderful people on Duvall Street, this restaurant has a full menu, a great vibe, and isa one-of-a kind when it comes to eating, drinking , and hanging out...

Union Station in Nashville is a great destination with a really good restaurant - StationAiry (get it...) - a great lobby bar, Live Nashville Music every day, comfortable lodging, and a trainload full of history. Once the L&N Nashville train station, responsible for inbound and outbound traffic throughout the region, this refurbed gem is a refreshing, retro hotel in the middle of a city that's trying so hard to renounce it's history. We loved it. We think you'll love it. Giv...

In 2004, Chef Thomas Keller brought Bouchon to the Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas. Bouchon’s interior was designed by Adam D. Tihany, who recreated the original Bouchon’s environment… classic mosaic floor, magnificent pewter bar, antique light fixtures with hand-painted murals. The interior space is as beautiful as the food and service are outstanding. We’ve been many times over the years, and recently Sandi and I dined at Bouchon to celebrate her birthday. Please...

Delilah Las Vegas is a Swanky, Upscale, Throwback to the 20s and 30s restaurant with great food, entertainment, and all kinds of great looking people hanging about. We were seated promptly, ate wonderful food, and left wanting more... but be careful. Delilah was a treat and will get even better as it matures. Enjoy!

We're back in Vegas at Wazuzu, a restaurant we have walked past hundreds of times. It was always full and doesn't take reservations so we thought it was just another Vegas buffet. Au contraire mon frère! Wazuzu is a great little find on the casino floor at the Encore in Las Vegas. Great food, terrific service, lovely atmosphere... don't walk past it. Get on your dragon and dive in! You definitely won't be sorry.

Our guest today is none other than co-host Sandra Mak Noelting talking about her newest cookbook... Respect The Rice (available from Barnes & Noble). Just released, Sandra's Respect The Rice cookbook was created to provide a little guidance and a lot of flavors. Respect the Rice was born from Sandra’s passion… a desire to demonstrate and instruct us how excellent meals can be created from those boxes of rice, some chicken, and a few other ingredients that you probably already have on-han...

White Limozeen. A newish 'over-the-top, indoor-outdoor rooftop bar & restaurant' atop the Graduate Hotel in near-downtown Nashville. It's a fluffy pink and white place with a great selection of specialty drinks, Nashville's version of homestyle French menu items, great service, and even better people watching. A bit of a young crowd and usually crowded, so there's usually a little wait time. We liked it . We want to go back. We think you'll find it interesting too. Listen to our r...

Shades of NOLA! This new (to Nashville) breakfast and brunch spot is in the Hillsboro Village area of Nashville in one of the newly-built buildings on Belcourt and 21st. With a great menu of starters, specialties, eggs & omelets and, of course, their full-line of benedicts, coffees, cocktails and beer, this place is a must! We visited recently and had a delicious meal with a hint of New Orleans. Hope you like it as much as we did. Listen here for our review.

We're back... at Perry's Steakhouse & Grille in the Cool Springs area of Nashville. Perry’s Cool Springs ( I think that's what they're calling it) brings their "award-winning menu, impeccable ambiance, unique signatures, tableside presentations and exceptional service for DINE-IN or TO-GO"... straight off their website - And I we agree! Great Bar, Great Dining, Great Service. Try It, You'll Like It. But go early. It's popular and fills-up fast. Sandi and I have been a couple times and r...

What a delightful little Italian Restaurant! Good food, cozy little atmosphere, great service... what else do you need. We had a nice time and a safe time at CoCo's in Nashville. A little tricky to find and kind of hard to get into, but take the time. It's worth it for a fun evening with good Italian food. Enjoy!

Well, It wasn't the best year on record, especially for dining out, but there were a few bright spots. In this episode we highlight a few places around Nashville that had great carry-out food; good, safe in-restaurant dining; and some new places around town that we all have to try. As always, thanks for listening. We plan to have a great, new line-up for 2021. Don't forget to wear your mask, be safe, and have a very Happy New Year!

Well, we did it! Yes, crazy or not, we went to Las Vegas - very carefully, very responsibly - and we want to report back to you after a 2 month hiatus due to the Corona Craziness. We did it right with copious amounts of antiseptic wipes, squeeze bottles, sprays, masks and all the other safety things. Vegas was a little slow but listen to this episode to get the first-hand info on Bill & Sandi Go To Vegas in 2020. We had a ball! Please join us.
