The bathroom on the third floor was a little dirty and I had to search for and replace the toilet paper (which was low quality/scratchy). It was hip and reminded me of Tobacco Warehouse in Richmond, VA (go there!). Nice touches with the menus and receipt books being suede or worn leather. Lots of upscale stone, wood and lighting. Beautiful and comfortable booths with privacy walls. The place itself and the ambiance was lovely. We were told it would just be a few minutes, so we elected to not get a drink from the bar. If it were reversed, we'd have lost our reservation. Not sure why we had reservations and had to wait so long. There were two parties already in there and ahead of us, so we had to wait 15 mins to be seated. We arrived promptly at 8.30 for our 8.30 reservations. Our goal was a nice romantic steak dinner. The concierge recommended this place as a local place for a great dinner (after we rejected Ruth's Chris since we could eat there at home). We escaped to Nashville this past weekend for a fun couples weekend. Otherwise, my recommendation would be to look elsewhere. If money is no object, and you haven't crossed E3 off your list, it may be worth your while. The food is good, but not good enough to justify the high expense. I felt this was incredibly deceptive and beneath a restaurant of this stature. Another thing that really bothered me was the waiter presented the surf and turf option as a "special." However, when I looked at the price, the price of the "special" was identical to simply ordering the filet and lobster tail separately. We went to another restaurant the following evening that was half the price, and the whole party agreed the food was better at the less expensive venue. Given the tremendous expense was unaccompanied by an equivalent augmentation in food quality, I did not feel the value was good. Still, my expectations rise correspondingly with the price of the meal, and E3 under-delivered in the timeliness of its service. It's possible that, like most places currently, E3 is simply understaffed. The waiter was polite, jovial, and informative, but there were several times throughout the meal when he was nowhere to be found. The desserts were also underwhelimg, two of which (out of three) actually remained unfinished-a rarity for those in this particular party. The filet was perfect, but the lobster was definitely steamed too long and started to take on that extra chewy texture common with overcooked shellfish. For my entree, I got the surf and turf: 6oz filiet w/ lobster tail. Additionally, the bacon-wrapped dates starter was absolutely delectable. We had some Shishito peppers for an appetizer, which were very good. Originally, I thought parking would surely be a pain however, E3 offers complementary parking in the rear off the building off Wedgewood, which was incredibly easy. The venue is right on 21st in Hillsboro Village.
The building is relatively uninviting from the outside, which I like-especially considering once you enter and ascend the staircase you feel you're about to partake in a memorable dining experience. It had an open, upscale chic feel with high ceilings yet still managed to feel cozy and inviting. While the food was good, and the ambience was cool and inviting, I do not think the experience rose to the level of being justified by the price. This place is considered one of the best chop houses in Nashville, but I was unimpressed.
