“ JD was an outstanding host! From the moment we arrived, his warmth and hospitality set the tone for an amazing experience. The food was absolutely incredible—every dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and served with care. You can tell JD ... ”
“ During my recent stay at the Sheraton in downtown Nashville, I had the pleasure of visiting The Library Restaurant & Lounge multiple times—and the service truly made the experience memorable. Karri was incredibly attentive and genuinely sweet. She not only remembered my unique drink order from the first night, but when I returned the following evening, she greeted me like a regular. She even let me know she’d be off the next day, but made sure her team would take good care of me—and they absolutely did. The next evening, I sat at the bar, and without ever having served me before, Lorenzo already knew my drink order. That kind of communication and attention to detail is rare and speaks volumes about the staff’s dedication. JD also stood out with his friendly, attentive service, checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. The warmth and professionalism of Karri, Lorenzo, and JD created a truly welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear that the team at The Library takes pride in what they do. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in Nashville—thanks to the incredible staff who made me feel right at home. ”
“ JD was awesome! We came for drinks at night time and he provided us with great service and drinks.definitely would recommend! ”
“ They were quite busy when we arrived, and our waitress had her hands full, but another server stepped in to help. While it took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive, we understood given the crowd. When the food did come out, it was definitely worth the wait—everything was freshly prepared. The salmon benedict was spot on, and the fried potatoes were absolutely amazing! ”
“ Came by for an afternoon drink. Stayed for dessert which was the cast iron cookie. JD the bartender was super friendly and helpful. Convinced me to come by later in the evening for another drink. I enjoyed my time here. Super chill environment and welcoming and accomodating staff. ”
“ JD was absolutely phenomenal!!! Although I had an incredibly challenging week but he was patient, thoughtful, considerate and extremely communicative. It was my first visit to the Sheraton Grand and based on my experience with JD, I will definitely return. Oh... and his Long Island Iced Tea was ON POINT!! Whenever I visit Nashville, I will be staying at this hotel!!! Byron (front desk) was also JUST AS PHENOMENAL!!! I give them 100 stars!!!! ”
“ JD provided top shelf service and makes a tasty drink. We had so much fun during our visit. ”
“ Ate breakfast here twice while staying at the Sheraton. They have a good system set up where they take orders and serve coffee at the bar, and then deliver food to your table. Service was fast and pleasant. Pictured is the avocado toast with 2 eggs - excellent, everything was fresh and delicious. ”
