About this business

Specialties Wild Iris is one of Brentwood's best-kept secrets. Established in 1996 as one of the only small, chef-driven casual fine dining spots in the area, they have grown to be a favorite of the Franklin and Forest Hills community. Now, 20 years later, as Nashville diners explore new eateries opening across the city, they are often thrilled to "find" Wild Iris in Brentwood. It is that "off the beaten path" nook of great food, well-chosen wines, crafted cocktails and friendly, knowledgable staff all wrapped in a warm and ... read more

Disappointing – I too thought I would give this restaurant a try after reading some great reviews. I will not be going back. Our service was TERRIBLE and the food was just ok and took a really long time. It was a Tuesday night, not crowded at all. It may have been just an off night, but nothing I saw there even remotely makes me want to give it a second chance.

AND ITS ALWAYS NICE WHEN A CHEF WILL FIX WHAT YOU NEED AND WANT ON A DISH-- TRY THIS PLACE OUT -- YOU WILL LOVE IT!

This Brentwood charmer serves Southern fare with a contemporary twist. – In Short Once inside this cozy little oasis crowded with tables and local art, you'll forget the strip-mall ambience and feel right at home. The menu of contemporary cuisine is comfortably innovative without seeming bizarre. The signature salad of mixed greens, dried cherries, walnuts and Gorgonzola is a neighborhood favorite. Some items are like dressed-up soul food: Pecan-encrusted trout with roasted vegetable hash and a thick, grilled chipotle-barbec... read more

Overrated – I decided to try Wild Iris this evening after seeing the positive reviews on this site. Unfortunately my experience was not what the ratings led me to expect. This place is a bit long on pretense and short on actual performance. It's basically a wannabe Park Cafe. The entrees were hodgepodges of generic foodie-fusion ingredients which were neither particularly fresh nor well prepared. The service was mediocre as were the prices. There may not be many options for fine dining in Brentwood but this is a place to set... read more

New Orleans cuisine in Brentwood, TN – The Chef here is superb, She has to have the voodoo magic in her recipes, because I have never eaten this quality of food anywhere else. She is professionally trained in New Orleans and has surpassed the master chefs that she trained under in this art of cooking creations. Anything on the menu and the daily specials are to die for. Some of the current menu items in 3/05 are (Lunch - Red beans and rice, meatloaf w/ mac and cheese) Dinner the Crawfish with filled crepes are unbelieveable.... read more

Bullish on Bistro – I've eaten lunch at the Wild Iris several times, and the food is usually good to exceptional (and moderately priced). For those that enjoy something lighter, their salads are also very good. Not that there is a lot of competition in the Brentwood area (there's not), I would rate this the best in the area.
