As a native of Nashville I must agree that the Mall at Green Hills and its surrounding retail establishments offer the best in upscale mall shopping that Nashville has to offer. If there remains any question the recent opening of Tiffany & Co. and Louis Vuitton will lay it to rest. I've made many day jet-trips to Chicago and the car trips to Atlanta as many other Nashvillians solely to pleasure shop. I've also experienced the shopping in Manhattan, Short Hills, NJ; Plaza Frontenac in St. Louis, MO and Europe. All this to say that the Mall at Green Hills offers equal if not a better and pleasant atmosphere for shopping than the before mentioned. The employees of the mall and anchor stores are the most cultured and diverse group you'll find in Nashville. There is plenty of parking available and while there is intentionally no food court there is dining available at Cheesecake Factory (but I personally don't believe that it's worth waiting to eat there), Panera Bread, the Bistro @ Davis-Kidd Booksellers, and one other cafe located on the mall's premises. Neighboring the mall is Bistro215 (excellent in every way), Cheeseburger Charley's (with healthy eating options), and the newly relocated Green Hills Grille. The only thing the mall is missing is a Neiman-Marcus. Rumor has it . . . The two anchor stores are Dillard's and Macy's. Both have a good merchandise mix but I must say that if you're shopping for men's Polo Ralph Lauren then Dillard's has the best Polo shop in the state of Tennessee. Gus Mayer definitely deserves a look at for the creme de la creme of ladies designer clothing such as Zang Toi and Roberto Cavalli (Jamie, Inc. in Belle Meade would be well worth a trip as well). You're shopping selections don't stop at the mall. There are numerous boutiques, jewelry, clothing, home store, and restaurants within the Green Hills area that are worth discovering.
Pros: Parking, Nashville Hospitality and Service, Cultured Employees.
