Be My Sinema Valentine ~ A Giveaway!
Love. It’s a word that shouldn’t be thrown around lightly. When it comes to restaurants, I’m very careful about using that term, as there actually aren’t a lot of places I truly LOVE. However, when I do, I’m not shy about it.
I love Sinema. Most of you probably aren’t shocked by that news. I’ve written about this place probably more than any other restaurant in town, and here I am today writing about it again because if there is one spot I’d recommend above all others for Valentine’s Day dinner with your sweetie, this would be it. The menus they’re offering look to-die-for, and well, the space is just gorgeous and sexy, and perfect for a romantic date night.
Important to note: for their Valentine’s dinners (Saturday and Sunday) they’re offering special menus only, and they’re open for dinner on Sunday (which is not usually the case). There are 2 menus to choose from- a 5-course and a 3-course – and you can see them below:
5 course, $125 inclusive of tax
1st
Lobster Cannelloni
Lobster & Cheese Filled Pasta, Butter Poached Lobster Radicchio Salad
2nd
Local Grown Green Salad
radish, house made ricotta, hericot vert, champagne vinaigrette

Personally, I would dive headfirst into the 5-course because the Chef has brought back a dish from the early days of the restaurant that I seriously have never been able to get out out of my head! The foie gras mousse with zucchini bread is INSANE. I want all of it. (So, like, be careful if you order it because I may be lurking just around the corner and pounce on you.)
Speaking of pouncing, you may want to hurry up and get those reservations before they’re all gone! You can click here to take care of that right now.

I’ve never been but am dying to go!
I haven’t had the honor of eating at Sinema but would love to!! My husband and I will be in Nashville this April and would love to surprise him with a wonderful meal.
Thanks Denise
I had the duck at Sinema last year for my birthday, and it was divine. Can’t wait to get back!
I haven’t had the opportunity to eat at Sinema, but have enjoyed their cocktails. Would love to see if the eats are as good as the drinks!
I’ve been really wanting to try Sinema. It’s a favorite of some of our friends. We try to get in new restaurants, but it’s harder to do that with kids and a budget. Thanks for a chance to try it!

The best (and only) meal I’ve ever had at Sinema was the pear pasta (??). Sorry, it was a while ago so I don’t remember the name. However, it was literally the best and most beautiful meal I have ever had. My husband flew my best friend in for my birthday and sent us there for a surprise dinner. I have been raving about it ever since and would LOVE to show my husband what he missed!
I have never been but heard it is wonderful! Thanks for awesome chance.

Followed both on instagram lilmack123 and commented with a friends name. Thank you
I love Sinema’s brunch and mimosa table service. It’s my favorite and such a treat!
I follow you on Twitter, Beth! Love your tips-especially your tip about “Sugar” at Sinema’s upstairs lounge!
Haven’t been to Sinema but want to! Just walking through the door will take me back to the time I saw “The Empire Strikes Back” there!
I went for brunch, and though my entree was delicious, the daily breads were incredible! I think I had some sort of cinnamon roll with bacon, and a cheesy pizza roll… So good. Would love to check out their special Valentine’s dinner!

Sinema is so beautiful – can the decor be the best thing I have ever had? But, seriously, the bread courses are some of the best tasting bites I have ever had. All the food is yummy but gourmet bagel bites?! I can’t wait to try more for dinner!
Sinema is our one “big dining miss” in Nashville. I would really like to change this oversight.
I’m obsessed with the bar upstairs at Cinema and have had fabulous cocktails and incredible small plates. However, I haven’t been for dinner yet and cannot wait to give it a try. If it’s remotely as good as the bar, it will be my new favorite dinner spot in Nashville.
