Blue Moon Waterfront Grille

★★★★☆ 3.5 (251) • $$

"This is the perfect spot when the weather is nice. Go sit on their large patio, watch the sun set and drink a bushwacker. You can watch as ducks fly over, boats come in for the night and watch planes taking off or landing nearby at John C Tune Airport. It's very peaceful here. Families and date nights alike- this is a good spot for you. If you're looking for a healthy menu, they do have a few options, but we did not try those. The Goods:- free parking in the large lot at the marina- service was excellent. Our server was very attentive. - food was freshly made to order but came out extremely fast - food was really tasty! - Bushwacker (icy chocolatey boozy drink) for the winHere's what we ordered:- Fried cheese curds - we got them "plain" which means they weren't dipped in buffalo sauce. A side of ranch and also marinara are provided and let me tell you- this dish was a delight. So good!- Mahi Mahi Tacos- yum! This dish comes with 2 tacos (you can add a third for $6) and some delicious sauce made with ranch. Also a side that's mixed with black beans & yellow rice. All very good. - French Fries - so crispy with a hint of seasoning and a lot of salt. Just how I like them!- Fried Coconut Shrimp - didn't love that sauce they come with but the shrimp were SO GOOD! The Not So Goods:- You do have to take a ramp from the parking lot to get to the restaurant. I'm not handicap, but I would imagine this ramp might be a little difficult for someone who is. - They don't allow pets on the patio so keep your furry friends at home. I'd love to bring my dog but this isn't a reason to keep me away. - take a jacket or sweatshirt if you sit by the water. It can get chilly. Love that this place is within walking distance in my neighborhood. We will be back!"

Layer Cake

★★★★☆ 3.6 (231)

"Layer Cake- The name says it all in this multi-level wow adventure. I reserved a table for a group of five in the Dining Room for Brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Upon entrance the ambience was fun, inviting, and picture opportunity heaven. We were greeted and seated immediately. Reservations are highly encouraged. Each floor had a unique food, drink, and dessert menu. We ordered from the brunch menu: A delicious plant-based/vegan/vegetarian option is the Avocado Hummus with grilled corn and black bean Pico, grilled Pita, and fresh veggies. The pita bread was warm and veggies were fresh. It was delicious. I also ordered the Red Velvet Waffle Stack. It was a sweet and satisfying treat. My friends enjoyed the Popcorn chicken, smoked wings, and duck fat tater tots. They had no complaints. After brunch we headed upstairs to the roof top to enjoy the DJ and beautiful view. We saved the best for last, the Wonder Room. Full of color and vibrant decor that is absolutely beautiful. Definitely will return soon for happy hour and to enjoy one of their many monthly events. Highly recommend."

"We all split hush puppies, 3 dips, and Brussels. They were all good. I especially liked the fish dip and hummus. The Brussels went fast- very good and easy to split. I had the market fish snapper. It was prepared as I requested (a bit olive oil as salt) but it was a little dry.Service ok. One person was training another."

Stateside Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (379)

"Giving food 4/5 but the SERVICE made it a 5/5. I have never had such a peaceful dinner. There was absolutely no pressure to get us out and open the table which I very much appreciate. Jumbo Prawn Pasta 8.8/10* (Sautéed Jumbo Shrimp, Creamy Basil-Walnut Pesto, Burrata Cheese)- loved this noodle shape. Was very light on the pesto. Shrimp were great and big. Warm Crab Dip 8.6/10* (Lump Crab Meat, Three Cheese Sauce, Old Bay, with a Toasted Baguette)- sub for chips of course. Black Hawk Farms Truffle Burger 7.8/10* (Aged White Cheddar, Truffle Aioli, Bibb Lettuce, Caramelized Onions on a Sesame Seed Brioche Bun)Hot Chicken Sandwich 8/10* (Nashville Style Hot Chicken, Creamy Coleslaw, Pickles on a Brioche Bun)- actually really enjoyed this, pro slaw on sammy. French fries were also great"

Proof

★★★★☆ 3.6 (16)

"Rooftop bar hopping is always fun with family and friends. The proof is located inside the W Nashville Hotel on the 13th floor. We were immediately carded exiting the elevator, so 21 and up. The ambiance was quiet and comfortable--lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered drinks, but unfortunately, they were not good. I love the decor and wall art. We had a lovely time, and the weather was perfect for a Saturday summer night. No DJ, but did I mention the gorgeous view?"

Moxy Rooftop

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (36)

"This is a nice escape from the loud noises and long lines. Prices are still outrageous though. We ducked in here looking for a place to hang out and we enjoyed it. They had live music like everyone else."

Chef's Market Cafe & Takeaway

★★★★★ 4.6 (458) • $$

"So happy we stopped. This place threw me off. Ya walk in and it's a gift shop and a bakery and the deli with hot to go or sit down food is in back.They have a great variety of options. Baked chicken, salmon, meatloaf, sweet potatoes, cold salads, orzo chick pea salad. EtcEverything we got was eaten quickly. Smells like you walked into your moms thanksgiving feast. As for the bakery, we got the praline brownies. So moist and I could have eaten 2 by myself. Wow! Love that take on a brownie. Never had one like it. I could have gotten a piece of every one of the cakes but had to hold back.Our son dropped his plate trying to go out the door to eat outside. He was so embarrassed and was crying. The manager took care of him and I swear I would come here once a week if we lived here.Thank you! Amazing food and restaurant!"

Subculture Urban Cuisine And Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (437) • $$

"A look at this place and your taste buds will thank you! The small restaurant with big flavor, we had to try! Both types of Ramen were full flavor, and portions were fantastic!! The lady that took our order was a multi jobbed server, host, barista, and she was on point with refills and to chat with the customers. Giving this place a 10/10 definitely would recommend!"

Velvet Taco - East Nashville

★★★★☆ 4.1 (66)

"This Velvet Taco location is one of the latest additions to the East Nashville food scene and I am beyond pumped to have it in the neighborhood! I have been dreaming of these massive tacos and that elote for too long! This Velvet Taco is stand alone and features a good size indoor dining area and a great outdoor covered patio. Both spaces are fitted with hightops, standard tables and bar/communal style seating. Parking is limited, but is plentiful for the space. The way Velvet Taco works is the same as most fast-casual spots where you order at the counter, they prepare and then call your name or bring to your table. It is an efficient and easy process, which is great, as I want to ensure I get tacos in my belly as quick as possible! Speaking of tacos, the menu is separated by protein including chicken, veg, beef, pork and fish. They also have some great starters and sides, plus a dessert to go with your tacos if you are into that kind of thing! The tacos are hefty, so I usually go with (2) tacos plus a side of elote. This usually leaves me just the right amount of full. For the tacos, my go-to's are the Fish n' Chips and the Slow Roasted Angus Brisket. Both are absolutely phenomenal in their own way and make me so dang happy from first to last bite! While those are my number 1's, I have tried and enjoyed the Cuban Pig and Buffalo Chicken. Overall, really enjoy Velvet Taco and pumped to finally have them in the neighborhood!"

Union Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.6 (75) • $$

"We spent our Thanksgiving in Nashville and enjoyed our dinner at the Bobby. We reserved our igloo seating on their rooftop prior to showing up - they call this Camp Bobby. The menu is very limited, but they have perfected the dishes immensely! If you are wanting to order a drink that packs a punch, I would recommend getting their spiked hot chocolate which has toasted marshmallows on top.Dishes below: Baked Goat Cheese with a tomato fondue and toasted focaccia bread & the Disco Fries topped with braised short-rib, cheese curds, and Bordelaise Sauce."

Losers Bar & Grill - Downtown

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (192) • $$

"The perfect place to take a quick break from the craziness of downtown. This bar is just off Broadway, about two blocks, and basically offers everything that most bars in DT offer. Live music, chilly AC, lively crowds, but cheaper beers. It's a little divey, but I kind of like my bars like that. Not just booze, they also serve food here!"

The Whiskey Shot

★★★★☆ 4.3 (64)

"This is a great little bar in Printers Alley, I haven't been in Printers Alley in probably 20 years. Came by here just as they were opening up and spent about an hour listening to live music and then came back later that evening and went downstairs to the dueling piano bar which was a blast as well. Things were really hopping then"

5th & Taylor

★★★★☆ 4.4 (1449) • $$$

"Yes yes yes honey, we loved 5th and Taylor for girls night, would go back on a date night, shoot I would go back on a "take myself out" night; good food is self-care too. First off- ambiance, decor, vibes 10/10Food- nothing I would not order again...everything was so good!-Sausage cheddar biscuits, what a surprising delicious, comfort food delight!-Dinner rolls- delish, love me some fresh baked carbs-beer can chicken - oh my gosh did not think ordering the chicken on the menu would be this memorable. So good, the veggies and the beer gravy -excellent flavor. -I also tried my friend's scallops, very good. -Finally, the crispy brussel sprouts in blood orange- what the what!? What culinary genius came up with this? 10/10Coming back ASAP"

Pelican & Pig

★★★★☆ 4 (228)

"An intimate spot, that is dimly lit and gives a little southern gothic vibe. I was headed to a goth show at the east room so perhaps it was just also my already tinted lens being applied.The menus are limited, but with some great selections. If you have picky eaters in your party, either review the menu in advance or perhaps try your luck elsewhere. That goes for the food and the wine. I was sold with the wine menu though. They had an orange wine on the list! Rare that a spot carries one. I was starving so I devoured three apps/dishes. I started with the beets and then also ordered the roasted carrots and the burrata.Everything was so delicious but portions are small. The carrots and burrata were listed as shareables but I had no issue polishing them off myself. I even left still a little hungry. To be fair, I did miss lunch. Definitely a quality over quantity spot, so perhaps another factor to keep in mind with your party's needs."

etch

★★★★★ 4.5 (1753) • $$$

"When I say that this is the best meal I have had this year, I don't say that lightly. THIS place is hands down the best meal I've had and it is for 2 reasons. First, I've had a lot of seared scallops in my day and these are by far the buttery gods that top them all. Period. End of sentence. Not sure what they did but this is the one. Second, the special menu pork schnitzel with parsnip purée is A GEM. I think it was a daily special but I pray to GOD that they make it part of the normal menu because I would choose this as my death row meal. Cocktails were solid, chef's table experience was excellent, bread was lovely. Etch has truly left a mark on me and I hope they continue their crusade of superb dining!"

Franklin Chop House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (200) • $$

"Wow! One of the BEST salmon salads I have ever tasted! I requested the Hickory Grilled Chicken Salad to be replaced with Salmon and two more people beside me opted for the same! Great service, delicious biscuits, and wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely be returning when back in town."

Commodore Grille

★★★★☆ 3.8 (63) • $$

"Commodore Grille is found inside the Holiday Inn that features live local musical talents each night. While staying at the Holiday Inn, my husband and I came to this restaurant twice and ordered a meal to go once. With each time we interacted with this restaurant, I had 3 different experiences. With the first time, I made a to go order for dinner and got:Bourbon Glazed Salmon, $18 prior to tax ($19.67 after tax)- This salmon meal came with rice pilaf, a large side of green beans and a side of toasted bread. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the bourbon glazed sauce was sweet but excellent with the fish. The portion size of this meal is excellent for one person. I really enjoyed my meal, but it was rather pricey. But being that this is salmon, I expected it. The second time we came to this restaurant, we decided to stop by for some drinks (a beer for my husband and a glass of dessert wine for myself) while listening to live music. The service was friendly and I liked that our server always checked up on us and never pushed us to purchase anything else.The third time we came, we ended up getting:Side order of fries, $4.50 prior to tax- Served hot and crisp, a pretty nice portion. Nachos, $12 prior to tax- Major disappointment and would not order these again.Glass of wine, $8 prior to tax- My husband opted for a glass of red wine and he seemed fine with his choice. ------------------- (Total= $26.03 after tax, prior to tip)I wish we had the server from the previous night. But instead, we had Cyndi (at least that is what it says on our receipt). She was not friendly and just seemed annoyed when I only ordered fries. She had said "just fries" with a judge-y look. I decided to also order nachos too since we did have a late lunch and a no much of a dinner earlier. I think she was a little better with service later on but her attitude really could have been better. With the live music overall, most of the artists were great. There was one that was just really odd and a few that were okay. But I think it was nice to hear music from the area (we are in Music City after all). I really would only come here for the music. Please note that parking is self parking (not free) and valet only (also not free). But because I was staying in the hotel, my parking was included (in which I paid $25 prior to tax, each night. And yes parking is taxed here..) so not sure how much you would pay if you came."

Adele's - Nashville

★★★★☆ 4 (1263) • $$

"We had dinner here last night, spurred by the glowing reviews we'd seen. The service was excellent, and the dimmed decor created a wonderful ambiance. The hostess was very helpful, guiding us on where to park since the lot was packed. We loved it here--the dishes were well-portioned and unique. The only thing we felt was missing was perhaps a bit of salt and pepper, but it was perfectly fine without it.Regarding Yelp, I recently had my Elite status removed after 10 years because I'm a business owner. Despite not being related or affiliated with any food businesses--only a local real estate office in NY--Yelp managers believe a business owner shouldn't be an Elite reviewer. In my opinion, being a business owner shouldn't disqualify someone from providing honest and fair reviews of unrelated businesses. My reviews are meant to be helpful and honest, and I believe that shouldn't affect my Elite status."

Husk

★★★★☆ 3.9 (1888) • $$$

"I love this place. I've been to the Charleston and Savannah locations, so naturally I had to come here as well. We came to brunch before driving back home and it did not disappoint. We ordered the biscuits and gravy and the hummingbird cake from the first courses. These were probably the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. The hummingbird cake was better as a dessert and was delicious. I ordered their breakfast plate and I was blown away. How they transform scrambled eggs and had browns is mind blowing. The flavor explosions were amazing. My husband got the Johnny cakes and they were amazing too, in the middle a delicious sausage patty and egg on top. I love that the menu is always changing based on available ingredients.We will of course be back!"

Sidelines Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (74)

"Sidelines Grill is a neighborhood bar and grill located in a shopping plaza, so parking is not an issue.I did not try the food, but the drinks were cold and the service was friendly and professional. The ambiance is pretty cool and both the staff and customers were friendly.Overall, I would recommend here."

Barlines

★★★★☆ 3.6 (322) • $$

"Live music was great. Fun crowd. We were watching the NHL game and it was on the large screen until they decided to switch most screens to the Nashville Predators. We had a night cap to wind down and it was great. Service is a little slow but it was fine."

Riverview Restaurant & Marina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (111)

"I love this place. I like to sit by the window and watch the birds. There are pictures done by local artists that change from time to time. The food is like home! Makes you feel comfortable and warm inside. The staff are kind and some know how to make you laugh or keep up with your family member that has all the jokes. LOL good people and good good!!!! The view though!!!! this is my place when I just want to relax and let things go."

Sam's Place - Nippers Corner

★★★★☆ 3.9 (118) • $$

"So happy I now live close to this location, as this location is 100x better than the Belle Meade location. Night and day!First up, the Cajun pepperoni pizza, so tasty here. At the other location it was not seasoned well, not enough cheese and crust burned. But here, everything spot on. I wish they had some hot honey in house to drizzle on it, but still a winner.My favorite thing to order is actually their Caesar salad with salmon. Pro tip: add tomato and feta. *chefs kiss* -- I'm a Caesar connoisseur, and this is one of my favorites in town. Dressing tangy and right consistency to hug everything without being overpowering. Salmon perfectly cooked. Lettuce crisp and fresh (you'd be surprised at the amount of places serving wilted brown lettuce in salads). Service is excellent. Interior very clean. Don't love the bathrooms (those get neglected from time to time so sometimes dirty), but I live so close if an off day I can just drive home and not worry about it.Prices are reasonable and you get what you pay for. I'm not a huge sports person, but if you are, they literally have anything you can possibly think of to watch. Last time I was there we watched a hot dog eating contest. I'm sad to admit how into it I got. Like a car crash... I couldn't look away.Anyway, nothing but good things here. Keep it up team!!"

Henley

★★★★☆ 4 (258) • $$$

"I stayed at the Kimpton for my brother's wedding & had Sunday brunch at Henley the following morning. The decor is very pleasing on the eyes & the back dining space even more so. I started off with a Kevin Bacon Old Fashioned & boy was it tasty. It was sweet enough to be a dessert but at the same time you could taste the bacon with every sip. Aromatic & strong as it should be.I had the server help me choose my food as everything sounded too good. She suggested the French toast Monte cristo & since I've only had a Monte cristo sandwich maybe twice in my life I went with the recommendation.It was phenomenal. Full of flavor in each bite with pillow soft French toast bread. I almost forgot to take a photo I was so busy enjoying it. Luckily I captured half of it before it disappeared.Service was great as there was a party of 9 of us & I'd love to come back & have lunch or dinner here."

The Stillery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (3564) • $$

"We made a reservation in advance to visit The Stillery location closest to Broadway. It seems a bit smaller than their other location. We arrived for an early lunch around 1130 on a Sunday and there were still tables available, but it quickly filled up. The service was good and the portions were large. We could've easily split a meal. We ordered the hot chicken on mac & cheese and I appreciated that there were different spice levels of chicken, but even the milder level was still pretty hot. The turkey burger was way better than expected. We were pleasantly surprised. I definitely recommend it for a chill lunch near Broadway."

Willie B's Smokehouse & BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3 (4)

Spicy Boy's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (82) • $$

"It looks like just a house on the outside, but man is it delicious! You place your order first and sit down. My husband got a surf and turf po boy, and I got the fried shrimp platter. Both entrees were huge and packed with flavor. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the spices were tasty. The fries were crispy on the outside too. The servers were kind, and so were the bar tenders. The second half of the restaurant is a bar and is a great place to have a drink while waiting for food. Their drink pack a punch too! There are numerous tables inside and out as well. This is the best Cajun food in Nashville!"

The Diner

★★★☆☆ 3 (1080) • $$

"Stopped here for brunch. You walk in and a hostess will let you know what floor to head up to. From there you go to the elevator and arrive on your floor. Another hostess will greet you and you'll be seated. On the 6th floor you sit at the bar unless you have a large party. We had exceptional service. Got water and coffees right away. Our server had a great sense of humour and was nice to chat with. We all loved our food. And shared a few bites. The menu is not huge but has enough and it's all made well. It's very clean and well kept. The view from the windows is gorgeous. The coffee was also good. Belgian waffle was incredible. Biscuits and gravy were amazing. The biscuits were cooked perfectly. The breakfast scrambler was also on point. We even came back here a few days later on floor 4 for lunch and again the food was great!!! Some of the best service we had."

Jasper's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (235) • $$

"First night in Nashville and a great spot to enjoy dinner with friends for our Bachelor/Bachelorette party! We wanted somewhere a little more low key near our airbnb. Jasper's was the perfect choice. We made a reservation ahead of time, so we had no problem getting set up at a large table for our group. My only gripe is that you should not get the espresso martini here. They make it funky and it was a cream color and not great. Everything else was awesome though. Food was good and all other drinks were a hit!"

Answer

★★★★★ 4.5 (358) • $$

"Tucked away on an unassuming street corner in Sylvan Park, you might drive right past the place if you weren't looking for it. Thankfully, crowd-sourced review sites discover such culinary jewels. It was our second experience at this wonderful restaurant known as "answer.", indeed Nashville's best answer to the question "What is your favorite American tapas restaurant?"!Answer. is truly a neighborhood eatery just as the founders intended in 2017, filling a culinary void between the sparse offerings on Murphy Road and the vast restaurant scene on Charlotte Pike. This tapas experience manages to be simultaneously upscale yet affordable, high-class but budget-friendly. Three in our party of four were professional chefs and gave the food rave reviews, so you know it's good!Their arancini is one of the best things I've eaten in Nashville! Like all dishes on this ever-changing menu, this was modified from its native form, clearly inspired by the popular Italian appetizer but uniquely transformed by the chef. You'll slice through a deep-fried crispy exterior to reveal tender rice. But other flavors and textures treat your taste buds with fatty ground pork at the center.The king salmon is perhaps the best piece of fish I've ever had in my 30 years in Nashville, slightly crisped on the outside, tender and flaky, full of flavor, and perfectly prepared. Unfortunately, since this was the nightly special (August of 2024), it may not appear on the menu when you go. The trout is another great option that's more consistently offered, as are the meatballs.The mussels are fabulous with a flavorful broth, but the fresh rye bread that accompanies the mussels is one of the restaurant's best-kept secrets! And the dessert menu is one of my favorites in the city with nothing but great options. Answer. even offers meal packages for takeout on Wednesdays and Sundays!"

Steadfast Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.1 (334) • $

"I loved this coffee spot. It was a good experience the first time. It's in German town, small quiet less busy neighborhood. Street parking is where it's at. Happy searching for parking. .I went there because of the vibe and the drinks they serve. They have a bar in the middle with lots of room and counter space for customer to sit and barista to make coffee. As they are making drinks they are chatting with you if you stand near it. .Orange kringle, sparkling house made, watching them make the sparkling water was entertaining and labor. They infused some orange cranberry syrup in it. Then topped with a rosemary. It was refreshing and not too sweet but gives me a little holiday coziness on the first few sips. I enjoyed the drink at the outside seating，wrapped in my big black fur coat looking ridiculous as wifey always says and giggles. I can hear that in my head lol.....Second experience I had the ice espresso tonic. The orange kringle was better in my opinion. But it was still good not the best I have had. I appreciate the time making it and quality in crafting. .Overall I am glad I came to experience this spot. It was nice and peaceful to get some alone time and sit outside, day dream and slowly waking up back to reality. Thanks for reading and have a blessed yelptastic day!"

Perry's Steakhouse & Grille - Cool Springs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (295) • $$$$

"Perry's Steakhouse & Grille is an extremely solid choice if you are looking for a steakhouse in the Franklin, Tennessee area. It has the atmosphere that captures an upscale dining experience and thos ambiance is only enhanced by stellar service and fantastic food.The steaks are an incredible experience and definitely worth the money. This type of dinner is an indulgent treat and is a great choice for any type of celebration (and sometimes just having a great day is a cause for such a celebration).Perry's Steakhouse & Grille has been around since 1979 when they opened their first location in Houston, Texas. From that humble first location, they have become a small chain of upscale steakhouses across seven states. After dining here, it is easy to see why they have been successful. They offer a great dining experience and hit the high note on the food, ambiance, and staff. If you are looking for an upscale dining experience, I would definitely recommend a visit to this particular location of Perry's Steakhouse & Grille."

The Treehouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (549) • $$

"Fun brunch place in Nashville! Came with no reservation and we were still seated immediately.Good- The food all came out quickly - Ambiance was amazing, it looked like a treehouse and lots of wooden interior decorations- Biscuits were so buttery and tasty - We got a free glass of champagne with a birthday in our group - Super fun server, thanks Timmy! Bad:- The overnight oats was a little too mushy for me but it tasted good Overall this place was really memorable and I enjoyed the experience of brunch here with 9 people."

Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.9 (1310) • $$

"Newly renovated and opened, the inside was super open and bright. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately by the bar back. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. The drinks were really good and the Eden was super refreshing. The toast was so good! The spread, the kale, the berries, all mixed together were the perfect combination. The hash was just okay. It was pretty dry, but I'm thinking an over easy egg might help with that."

Gertie's Whiskey Bar - Nashville

★★★★★ 4.5 (38)

"After dinner on my most recent visit to Nashville, stopped in to give my liver a little treat. So glad I did. Had a few pours I hadn't had, nor even heard about. Guess I need to go out drinking more often ... See pics of the pours I had. Also, of the dessert I had. Enjoyed 'em all. Down to the last drop. So, I'll just say service was excellent. Both tenders were happy to help find me pours I hadn't had. Found two and would have had more however, they were closing up and one of my friends hit his limit. They were friendly and the pours were generous - again, see pics. And they were happy to answer my friends' questions while I sat back and enjoyed my pours and dessert.I can't speak on parking as we were being responsible and utilizing a rideshare. I also didn't look for a lot or what the signs read for the few cars I did notice parked on the street. I liked that the place had more a lounge feel. Relaxed, quiet and chill. It's a place I'd definitely make a return visit to."
