  Mixed reviews about this restaurant. Went here back in 2024 and had a decent experience not what I was expecting. Came back this year hoping to get a better experience and it failed to meet my expectations. Our Server Tori was great and very professional but I cannot say that about the manager. We had multiple issues with our dining experience none of which were the servers fault. The bottomless mimosa deal is not what they advertise. They (the manager) I think his name was Nate, can pretty much cut you off whenever they feel like. We had a group of 16 all ordering bottomless mimosa and we were constantly waiting for refills and the manager was trying to get us to leave the restaurant before our 90 minute timer was up. They claimed we as a group had 14 mimosa pitchers, across 16 people all drinking bottomless mimosas that’s under 4 mimosas per person. We are all adults and understand we need to pace ourselves but bottomless is not bottomless when we get refills once every 20 minutes in a 90 minute period. We had a 12:30 pm reservation and apparently they had another party coming in at 2:00pm and the manager was rushing us and encouraging us to leave and not enjoy our experience. Additionally the manager did not exhibit a level of professionalism that a manager should have in the hospitality industry and was unwilling to have conversation with me and the rest of our party. Especially in a tourist heavy area like Nashville there should be a level of professionalism tailored to guest experience and there was just not that here.

  I came here for brunch with a big group of friends and was really looking forward to it, but the experience went downhill fast. The “bottomless” mimosas aren’t truly bottomless—they pace your refills, even with a group of 16. They also start your timer the second you sit down, even if your first drink doesn’t show up until 20–30 minutes later. When we tried to address the issue, Nate Smith refused to speak with us or try to fix anything, which felt incredibly unprofessional. Then, without any valid reason, they had security escort us out. It was completely unnecessary and honestly shocking. What made the situation even more telling was that some of the employees quietly mentioned they don’t like working under him and expressed that to us as we were leaving. Overall, a very disappointing experience when we came expecting a fun brunch. With how many similar complaints there seem to be about Nate Smith, this really feels like a pattern that needs attention.

  Boqueria has become my absolute happy place—whether I’m dining solo, out with my son, or hosting a work dinner for a crowd. The tapas are truly exceptional—vibrant flavors, beautiful presentation, and consistently delicious. As a frequent solo diner, I always joke that I’m on a “date with the restaurant” because the staff is so warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They never make you feel like you’re dining alone; instead, it feels intimate, elevated, and special every single time. One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is how thoughtful and accommodating they are with food allergies. My son has several dietary restrictions and is also a picky eater—yet Boqueria always finds something not just safe, but enjoyable for him. That is a huge win in my book. It has also become my go-to restaurant for work dinners. There’s truly something for everyone—meat lovers, vegetarians, seafood fans, and even the most selective palates. Every guest I bring leaves impressed, raving about both the food and the overall experience. Boqueria doesn’t just serve a meal—it delivers an experience. A perfect blend of flavor, warmth, hospitality, and consistency. My forever favorite. ❤️🍴

  we were from out of town and waiting on a different dinner reservation when we stumbled into this place and decided to ditch the original plans. we got sat right away towards the back, away from most of the people which we really appreciated. the music and overall vibe was very cool, you wouldn’t tell you are in a mall kinda. it was our first time here and our server was kind and patient with us. a drink my boyfriend didn’t like they had no problem taking it away and replacing it with something he did like. the food came out one by one but since it’s all à la carte. the food and drinks were insanely good and can’t recommend this place enough.

  Very busy with great atmosphere. We started at the bar while we waited for our table and got great recommendations from the bartenders. We ended up getting the Boqueria experience and it was honestly a great amount of food for the price. We got to taste all the greatest things from their menu and the waiters that brought out our food explained all the flavors and ingredients. This aspect of the dinner was worth 5 stars. The regular waiter was non existent and continually got our drink order wrong. All this to say the main course of the meal, the main event, the dish we came for… the paella was ess than ok. It was over cooked, dry and lacking real paella flavors. Would not visit here again.
