Music City Flats Stoneoven & Bar

One of the more affordable places to dine in the Gulch. If you don’t want to blow your budget on Sambuca or Watermark and don’t want to deal with crowds at Bar Louie, MCF is a good choice. They have really awesome flatbreads — I’m a fan of the Turkey, Apple and Brie as well as the Queen Margarita. My husband has had their Osso Bucco and claims that it was better than what what he had in Italy when we visited this summer. The wine list is not huge but offers an adequate selection for whatever you might be in the mood for. They have great happy hour specials — ½ price wine bottles on Monday and wine tastings on Wednesdays. The atmosphere is laid back (translated: no need to doll yourself up to come dine here) and even on a Friday or Saturday night I have never had a problem getting a table even without a reservation. Overall, a solid dining option for us Gulch residents.

Yummo! I love the various different flatbreads that they have.
I have so many favorites — I can’t just choose one but here are my top three:
— Kahuna: BBQ sauce, roasted chicken, shredded mozzarella, Canadian bacon, freshly diced pineapple chunks and a ranch drizzle.
— Buffalo Chicken: Roasted chicken with crumbled blue cheese and mozzarella cheeses, caramelized sweet onions and diced crunchy celery drizzled with a mild wing sauce
— Turkey, Apple, & Brie: Sliced turkey, crunchy sliced apples, creamy brie and shredded mozzarella cheeses drizzled with natural honey blended with cinnamon & sugar
Of course, there are other great foods there too, for instance, the baked macaroni and cheese with lobster. (Don’t knock it until you try it!)
Lastly, Monday nights: ½ off bottles of wine! Who doesn’t want to participate in that?! The best part — it’s from 5PM — Close! Talk about an extended happy hour!

Not sure why this place has a lower rating. Looks like most people rated this place 4 stars but there have been some service issues.
We experienced fantastic service and really creative and tasty food. I would definitely go back again. It’s really close to the Yazoo brewery too so it was the perfect spot to eat after hitting up the tour and tap room.

Reasonably priced and located in a fun area of Nashville. While the service could have been slightly more attentive, overall a great place. I was very impressed with all the flatbread pizza choices. Their wine selection was decent and the desserts were fantastic.

Great food! This was our 2^nd visit, and we would definitely go back. It is reminiscent of its predecessor, Urban Flats, yet it has carved its own identity with the use of local ingredients. The hummus appetizer is filling, delicious, and well worth the cost to try. Try the veggie flatbread and lobster bisque as well!
My only complaint was the hostess. We came in at 6:15 with a reservation. The restaurant was more than half empty. When we were seated, we were given a 4 person table, and I requested a 4 person booth since there were 5 right near us completely empty. She told me that «No, we are booked full with reservations for the night.». Well, when we left an hour later, 3 of those booths remained empty. If they were booked solid, then those reservations didn’t show. I think that was poor customer service on her part. If a booth is available, let the customer have it.

Not bad Music City Flats!
I’ve been attempting to pinch pennies the past couple weeks (damn you amazing food and big nights out in Nashville!), so I came to MCF to try out their happy hour and specials after work one day. On Mondays they offer half off bottles of any wine you want! Great deal! Their normal happy hour that lasts until 7 is a good deal as well, $ 3 well drinks, $ 4 glasses of select glasses of wine! Score.
Sadly, there were no deals on appetizers, but their prices are very reasonable, plus I had a scout mob for half off up to $ 12! I’ll take it!
We ordered the chicken pot stickers, and they were good but a bit more crunchy than I would like at the corners. The fire roasted goat cheese is basically marinara sauce with garlic dipping bread, but I thought it was yummy. I’m a sucker for anything tomato based though, and can see where some people didn’t love the dish. Its definitely not a «glamor» dish as it is portrayed on the menu.
We had to order a flat bread, but had trouble deciding which one! They all looked so good, but I couldn’t say no to the lobster BLT flat bread for $ 13.00. It was plenty to split, especially with the two appetizers, and I liked it! The huge pile of arugula on top was a bit much because it was messy and fell off the slices easily, but overall it was pretty decent. It did lack that pow of delicious flavor in my mouth and the lobster pieces were not abundant. Would I order it again? Meh, probably not since it’s the pricier flat breads offered and there are others to try that looked good as well.
Though some of the food didn’t «wow» me, I came out from that meal only spending $ 25 with a tip, and I am very glad to see a reasonably priced restaurant in the Gulch. I love a good happy hour, and feel I got my money’s worth!
Now… which flat bread to try next time…

It was good stuff but nothing really worth writing home about. A young lady and I showed up at 5:30 on a Sunday (because we’re apparently 75 years old now) and were literally the only people in the place. It picked up by the end of the meal, though.
Great service with a clean/​open setting. I say give it a go if you’re in the mood for flatbread at a reasonable price.

This place is mediocre. I went with my boyfriend on a Friday night because of the scoutmob deal and we just wanted a quick bite. The restaurant was pretty empty, which was fine with us because we could talk easily.
The Good– the service was great, the waiter was very attentive, probably because we were his only customers
The Bad– the «Warm Goat Cheese» appetizer was just a bowl of hot (my mouth was burned for days after my first bite, ouch) marinara sauce with some sprinkled goat cheese on top and some garlic bread. Definitely not what the title and description of the dish led you to believe, what a rip off!
The Meh– our flatbreads were ok. They tasted good but both of us honestly felt we could make better ones at home (we are amateur chefs).
I would never pay full price for this place but it was fine for a quick bite, just stay away from that appetizer!

I was really excited to try this place, especially since they had a scoutmob. I made a reservation, but there was no need. The place was empty. Our waiter was less than professional. My friend had ordered a second glass of wine and because he was not finished with the 1^st one the waiter simply combined the two. It was weird! We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip (I think), but all it was was a hunk of cream cheese with some spinach on top. It was not even mixed in. My flat bread was flavor free and cold. So was my friends. Thank you scoutmob because I am so happy I did not pay full price for that horrendous overpriced tasteless meal.

I was a big fan of Urban Flats, and until last night I didn’t know that the place has changed their name, if not really their menu. The names of the flatbreads are different but it was just like UF used to be. And I’m ok with that. LIke I said, I liked Urban Flats. I like getting decent wine and good flatbreads with friends. Though I am not sure what the style of this place would be considered… I saw people in jeans and T-​shirts and other folks dressed up (I fell into that category). It’s fancy but casual… I guess it’s the kind of place you could go no matter what mood you’re in.
My friend and I got their house salad which we both enjoyed. I love when salads have pecans but face it, they’re a pain in the butt to spear with a fork. These were ground up a little bit, sticking nicely to the goat cheese, and I really liked the berry dressing (lightly added, a big plus, I hate when salads are drowning in dressing). We each got a flatbread, mine being the steak and my friend’s being a sausage and peppers one. Both were really good. You could easily split a flatbread or eat one yourself (like last night, we were starving, sharing was not necessary). They had a happy hour with $ 4 glasses of wine (WIN!) and we had a really great server. Overall we really enjoyed the experience and will be back.
I can say in talking with other friends it seems the salads and flatbreads here are way to go, and the appetizers. It seems to be where this place really shines, and I can agree with that.
Also, remember this place is in the Gulch. Parking is a pain and you are surrounded by really trendy places. But its a good place to get a good meal, not too expensive, maybe just a dash pretentious. But good food and service, and really good wine specials :)

I was highly disappointed as this was the first meal of over 20 I have had since moving to Nashville from New York City.
The food lacked taste and presence. For example, I ordered the «Fried Goat Cheese» suggested by our waitress, which was a bowl of Ragu with a few pieces of crumbled goat cheese sprinkled on top. The garlic bread was buttered bread sans garlic and toasted to much. I thought for sure the pizza would have been a bit. To be honest, it tasted toaster oven made as opposed to stoneoven and lacked any flavor whatsoever.
Luckily, the service was decent. Our waitress was very understanding and kept the wine flowing.

Time to review this place… Let me just say I’m being nice in giving it a two. It’s at most a 1.5 in my book, but I’ll give it a two just for the ambiance and convenience and the scoutmob they had.
I came with scoutmob, and having previously tried the flatbreads before the renamed the place, we opted to try 2 sandwiches. Honestly though, we should have stuck to the flatbreads, since it seems their sandwiches are sub-​par. Mine in particular, I asked for a stromboli (which is typically supposed to be mostly cheese) and it had far too much vegetable. I mean, I dont mind a little vegetable, but seriously this was pretty bad, even for an american place wanting to offer an italian dish. Meanwhile, my date had a sandwich which I don’t remember (or really even want to), which was incredibly bitter… I don’t know how else to describe it. It did not taste good at all. I’m not even going to continue on these sandwiches.
Let me just say now that I am giving this place a two based on having previously been here for the actual flatbreads, which were decent but overpriced, and the great, popular music they seem to play. Still overpriced though, both in food and drinks. Wouldn’t come back unless I had another scoutmob…

Nice atmosphere and good service, but the food was just OK. We ordered the «Fire Roasted Goat Cheese» appetizer, which was just a bowl of marinara with a little goat cheese sprinkled on top served with garlic bread. I ordered a flatbread, and it was also just ok. I would compare it to a run of the mill chain restaurant. Not terrible, but nothing to remember.

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner while wandering around the Gulch waiting to see a show at the Station Inn.
The whole place puts of the air of an upscale restaurant, with waits to be seated and posh and classy people. Slightly pretentious.
The truth? It’s a pizza joint trying to grow up into something more.
The waiter was slow to refill drinks and come to our table.
The pizza was sadly disappointing (who puts white cooking onions on a supposedly gourmet pizza??).
We won’t be back. Sorry.

We went there for dinner this past week for the first time since the name change/“localization”. We figured the place was struggling since we had purchase a Sharing Spree and the restaurant also had a half-​off deal on Scout Mob. We got there around 7 pm on a Thursday and the bar area was packed; however, we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table.
The menu is much more expansive than it ever was under the Urban Flats name. We had trouble deciding which of the flatbreads to order, since there were several that appealed to us. We ended up ordering the hummus appetizer (really good with 3 different types) and three flatbreads: veggie (with feta instead of goat cheese and pasta sauce instead of pesto), feta chicken, and tex mex (subbing chicken in place of beef). Honestly, everything we ate was amazing, and our party had a difficult time choosing a favorite.
The bartender was pretty good with his recommendations and knowledge of wines, but we had to request beverage refills once after the entrees arrived. I won’t ding them for that, since they were slammed and he apologized for his mistake.
All things considered, I believe the restaurant is much improved since the menu revamp and «localization». I couldn’t remember a time I left Urban Flats raving about the experience, but I felt the subsequent praise for Music City Flats was well-​deserved.
Tip: They have pretty generous happy hour specials M-​F 4−7pm, so stop by on your way home from work or on your way to an event downtown! Also, check out their weekly specials on the website (
), especially Half Price Bottle Mondays and Wine Tasting Wednesdays.

Food was very fresh and tasty. The portions are just the right size. I had the vegetarian Stromboli. The veggies weren’t overcooked and they still had a crispness to them. I also ate their squash and arugula salad which was fantastic. My wife had the margarita pizza and she said it was very Mediterranean and fresh. The crust was thin and tasty.
We are from out of town, but will definitely go back if we are in Nashville soon again.

I think this could be called «upscale-​casual»? My dinnermate and I had a really difficult time choosing which flat breads to order because they all sounded really good. ALL OF THEM. We ended up getting the chicken feta (with jalepeno sauce involved somewhere) and the Kahuna (chicken, pineapple and canadian bacon!) with added marinara sauce. We got a few draft beers and had a great attentive waiter… so I’m definitely coming back to try some more FBs (salads and stromboli also sounded delicious). After tax, tip, and 2 beers a piece our bill was $ 48. Not terrible!
I think if you like pizza-​related foods and/​or beers and/​or watching football on TV and/​or not watching football on TV but smelling pizzalike foods cooking in a hot oven, you may enjoy Music City Flats.
Also points go to them for having tons of booths.

Go there on a Sunday or Tuesday and sit in the bar area so Jess can be your server! She’s worked there for several years now, going back to when it was Urban Flats, but is only there those two days a week now. Plus, it’s not as busy then as it is on Fri/​Sat or «Wine Wednesdays». I like that it’s now a real, independent, local restaurant and that they’ve made little improvements like using local produce when they can. I also like that the flatbread is now whole wheat. We recently went and had the spinach dip, kale and bacon flatbread, and lobster blt flatbread… and all was delicious.

Friendly staff… great service… food improved… flats are great…

My wife and I love this place. We come here every time we are in town. I try a different flat every time and have never been disappointed. My wife loves the dessert flats. Staff is friendly & they always have great wine specials!
