    I am sincerely considering making this a weekly pit-stop for me as the lunches here are not only affordable but scrumptious! I ordered a tasty salad today that included tangy dressing, fresh lettuce, buts, large strawberries, and vegetables for $7. You would pay just as much at Panera and not receive the same quality and beautiful environment! You may also choose a 1/2 soup or sandwich with salad option for $6... won't break the bank! This is the perfect place to setup your laptop for a working lunch, host a meeting, or enjoy a leisurely meal. The patio seating is divine will certainly lure me for when I have some time on the weekends and may lead to an impromptu spin through the galleries and exhibits at the Frist too. Read my original review for the full scoop but trust me on this, check this spot out!

    I work at the Frist and I don't eat at the cafe much, since I like to leave the building and go home for lunch. But once in a blue moon on a really dreary day like today, I stay in and have the Cobb Salad. It's a go-to for gluten free noshers like me. Add an extra egg for extra protein punch (as if all the meat wasn't enough already) and oil and vinegar dressing and i'm doing ok. A lot of museum visitors and local employees come for the cheap prices and quick bites. Beware of Senior Mondays (every 3rd Monday of the month) and weekends at lunchtime- it's usually busiest at 1130-noon.

    Soups, salads, sandwiches, and senior citizens (they're not on the menu, but they're around for noshing on if you're still hungry). Although Frist has decent soups, something about the sandwiches to me always tastes slightly off (like the wrong cheese for a particular combination or partially deliquesced mushrooms; they're also never particularly hot, or cold). I have not tried the salads, but they're next on my munch list. The speed of service seems to have improved. Considering the proximity to my office and the rudimentary wholesomeness of the food, the Frist cafe is hard to turn down when I'm smothered with work and want something to lighten my spirits. $5-10. UPDATE: The Cobb salad is fresh, yo. UPDATE (2): Tuna salad sandwich with a side of salad!

    Great food. Great value. Great service and location. Eating outside at the tables is super cool. One of downtown Nashville's hidden lunch gems. I recently had Cobb Salad there that was huge and delicious. Fresh ingredients. Most food under $10.

    The Frist,and its cafe, is a stop every time me and my family go to Nashville. For the last 5 years at least, maybe more. Every time we go the food has been great. I love the varied soups. The gumbo is my favorite but I also love the steak and pasta and veggie soup options. I have also enjoyed several of the sandwiches. The Turkey Saga is my favorite. I love the guacamole and I don't typically like it most places. However upon going in June the guac. was served on the side. That was not as good but upon asking they had gotten complaints of some customers not liking the cooked guac. The salads are great with the "fancy green" and I love the different dressings. Most are made on-site which is a perk too. The Cobb salad has loads of meat and eggs which is a nice meal. The coffee is indeed very good. A couple of times in the later afternoon it was not as hot as I like but that isn't a deal breaker for me. Lastly the desserts. I love the carrot cake and the cheesecake. The carrot cake wins out a bit because of the nuts, raisins and creamcheese frosting. I ask for it to be zapped in the microwave as I like warm cake. Makes it taste much better. I have written a novel but I really enjoy the Frist Cafe. I will be there again in June 2015 during Cma Fest week.

    I finished up at the Frist just short of a hypoglycemic coma so I popped into the cafe and wow, what a great surprise! I got the salad and sandwich combo and ate on the deck in the sun. It was like something out of a commercial. The food was great, especially for $6! I had the grilled portobello sandwich and a very fresh salad, what more could I ask for?

    Lovely, sunny little cafe conveniently located in the Frist Museum bldg. Of all the times I've walked by it, I have never seen it crowded or overflowing with people. On Sunday, we decided to eat there since all the little neat places serving brunch were overflowing.... Parked the car outside of the private lot (free parking on street), walked to the cafe and ordered salads. I got the Cobb without maters, and friend got the Stilton salad. The Cobb was ok. Nothing in it was really fresh, fresh.... and the Stilton salad had these candied pecans all over it. My friend got it because she thought she was making a healthy choice with all the fruit, but with all the sugar on the nuts, we surmised there was enough sugar in that salad (including the dressing) to be up there with the most sugary of boxed cereals..... So no, not really a healthy choice. Coffee was absolutely delicious. Really, really good coffee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price was decent, choices are really limited if you don't eat manufactured food, great for a quick bite.. Just be aware that this is not the freshest, nor healthiest choice in town... ** and for those wanting to do brunch in any of the cutesy restaurants you read about --- go SUPER early to get a seat. Some of those brunch places have 30+ people standing around outside, waiting for a table!!!!

    Before exploring the exhibits on a Friday night, my mom and I decided to try having dinner is in this adorable little café. On Fridays they have live music too, not loud to the point where you can't talk but just enough to enhance the ambiance. There is plenty of space in here and there are large open windows where you can look out on the Frist deck and see Cummins Station. You go up to a counter, order something from their simple yet yummy menu of sandwiches, salads, and soups, and then you sit down and your food is brought to you. They also offer wine by the glass which is always a good way to start your Frist experience. I had the turkey saga sandwich which was absolutely delicious. You can get a side salad or homemade chips as your side. They also offer bakery goods too. If you're looking to make a trip out of visiting the Frist (which of course you should) I highly recommend eating here before walking around the exhibits. The food is very reasonably priced and it sets the mood for a good art viewing.
