Marsh House in the Thompson Nashville hotel dishes out stylish Southern seafood fare, featuring everything from fresh oysters to decadent brunch delights, all in a chic, laid-back vibe.
"The Marsh House is on the ground floor of the Thompson Hotel, and it scratches the seafood itch for all of Nashville’s landlocked, breakfast-seeking citizens. Sip a perfect cup of coffee before getting into a robust raw bar (even at 9am) and the fried oyster benedict with its perfectly poached eggs, zesty Creole remoulade hollandaise, and lightly breaded oysters. They do other things well besides seafood, like a surprisingly soft cast-iron cinnamon roll (let’s be real, those things can be hard as rocks) with tangy cream cheese frosting. All you need is one of the house Bloody Marys and you’ll feel like you’re somewhere in the Lowcountry South with a sea breeze." - bailey freeman
"Sometimes, it’s nice to pretend you’re brunching in Maine with your quiet luxury loafers and such. The sleek, sun-drenched Marsh House in the Thompson Hotel lobby will scratch that itch. Now, there’s really only one way to kick this thing off: a seafood tower. And this one will come with briny oysters, mussels, crab ravigote, smoked fish dip, and ceviche. A citrusy, bubbly cocktail will go nicely with that, plus, it’ll give you the chance to say things like “cin, cin” and “I hear Nantucket is positively resplendent this time of year.” You could stay on the seafood train with the shrimp po’boy or the fried oyster benedict, but the cast iron cinnamon roll and double-stacked Marsh House burger offer a nice counterpoint to all the raw bar items.

"You’ll find Marsh House on the ground floor of the Thompson Hotel, and it scratches that seafood itch for all Nashville’s landlocked, breakfast-seeking citizens. Sip a perfect cup of coffee before choosing from a wide array of seafood-oriented breakfast dishes, including a robust raw bar (even at 9am). Start off with a surprisingly soft cast-iron cinnamon roll (let’s be real, those things can be hard as rocks) with tangy cream cheese frosting before diving into more savory choices—we love the fried oyster benedict with its perfectly poached eggs, zesty Creole remoulade hollandaise, and lightly breaded oysters. All you need is one of the house Bloody Marys and you’ll feel like you’re somewhere in the Lowcountry South with a sea breeze." - Bailey Freeman
"One of the city’s more stylish spots to stay, the Thompson Hotel houses two restaurants: one more polished, the other more upbeat. Marsh House is an all-day kitchen specializing in seafood-forward dishes steered by Southern flavors. Brunch is a daily affair here (yep, seven days a week) with chargrilled (or raw) oysters alongside cast-iron cinnamon rolls and fried oyster benedicts until 2 p.m. Or, you can opt to make it a party-style brunch at L.A. Jackson, the indoor-outdoor rooftop bar, where glittered chicken and large-format cocktails await." - Kellie Walton, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

Marsh House is an all-day kitchen specializing in seafood-forward dishes steered by Southern flavors. As you polish off chargrilled (or raw) oysters and shrimp toast followed by seafood mains paired with seasonal cocktails, admire the modern décor with art deco elements. Upstairs, L.A. Jackson, the indoor-outdoor rooftop bar and restaurant, buzzes with energy as drinkers discuss which small plates to share and their plans to come back for weekend brunch." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
