Marsh House — Menu Guide

By Firoz Khan · FK Digital Media

Marsh House is the seafood-driven restaurant inside Thompson Nashville, led by executive chef Brack May with pastry from executive pastry chef Natalie Moorer (per the official site). The restaurant holds a 4.6–4.7 OpenTable rating and events were listed through October–November 2026, confirming it is open. We found no independently verified awards — the official site self-describes an "award-winning wine program," which we label as self-described. There is no official menu with prices, so all figures below are 2026-era third-party reports (TripAdvisor and delivery listings), clearly dated. Everything is written in our own words.

Oyster happy hour

The restaurant runs an Oyster Happy Hour Mon–Fri 5:00–7:00 PM (per the official site). A 2026 diner review reported $1.50 oysters during that window — confirm the current deal with the restaurant, as happy-hour pricing changes.

What we'd order

If we had one dinner here, this is how we'd play it:

  • Time it right: arrive Mon–Fri 5:00–7:00 PM for oyster happy hour (reported $1.50 oysters in a 2026 diner review).
  • The shareable: a seafood tower ($40/$80/$155 by tier, reported 2026) to cover the raw bar in one shot.
  • The main: shrimp & grits ($30.25 reported) for the Southern play, or the lobster roll ($42 reported) for the coastal one.
  • The ambitious pick: snapper courtbouillon ($49.50 reported) if you want the kitchen's showpiece.

Planning your visit

  • No official prices — every figure here is third-party reported (2026 era); call 615-262-6001 or check OpenTable for the current menu.
  • Brunch is a full service: it runs Mon–Thu 7:00 AM–2:00 PM and Fri–Sun 8:00 AM–2:00 PM — an easy lighter alternative to dinner.
  • Bar & lounge gaps: the bar runs 2:00–5:00 PM Mon–Thu (the afternoon window) and to 10:00 PM Fri–Sat.
  • Parking: valet is available at Thompson Nashville.
