Answer.'s Sunday takeout is a lifesaver and a bargain for almost too much tasty food.

Was in Nashville on business, the customer suggested and took me here. The food was amazing and atmosphere was perfect.

We had several apps and shared an entree. Plenty of food! The tuna Poke I would eat every day if I could. Tuna was perfect. Nice balance of greens and some heat and crunch from the drizzle and tortillas balanced things perfectly!

Excellent spot for happy hour. The seating at the bar was tight, but the food selection and value for the money made it well worth it.

Answer is simply one of the best restaurants in Nashville. You genuinely feel like family when dining there (and I know that sounds ridiculous, but it is true.) We either order their family-style catering, take out, or we dine in every week. It is such a joy to see them doing so well, and we will always happily patron them. They are one of the many reasons we love where we live so much. Thank you for countless delicious bites, your kind staff, and many wonderful memories. ♥️

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!

We frequent answer. quite often and it never fails to impress us. The familiarity of the place, coupled with consistently excellent service and delicious food, keeps us coming back time and time again.

The staff at answer. are always welcoming and attentive, making us feel like valued customers every time we walk through the door. The food is consistently outstanding. The quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chefs truly shine through in every dish. (We personally love the tomato appetizer, the garganelli, the bucatini and the cocktails. We have gotten the burger a few times as well and it is delish.)

Overall, answer. is a reliable and enjoyable dining option that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal in a comfortable and welcoming environment. We will continue to be loyal patrons and support this restaurant for years to come.

Best restaurant in Nashville. Thank me later. Definitely a neighborhood gem. The food - we ordered many small plates - was incredible! Drinks were really good, too.

Customer service was a joke. Do not expect to be treated with any respect. Their happy hour is not worth the attitude. Walked in 15 minutes early, excited to try this new spot, just to be turned away with attitude. Came back met with attitude, closed out our tab.. again with attitude and this time an eye roll. I will never be back. Very disappointed being a server for 5+ years getting this type of treatment at a newer high class restaurant.

Limited menue and loud dining room. You know your in trouble when you can't find something on the menu for dinner...
Place is busy, definitely has its following....just not my style

Ebonique was the best waitress!!! Food was great but she made the experience even better. 10 stars!

Adam Carr

Can’t believe I haven’t written a summary before now! This is a cool neighborhood spot - always a good vibe, perfect for couples, group night out, even family but think older kids have a better time.

Vegan options - one Tofu app, no main! They can customize a plate of sides… but a missed opportunity!

Mocktails - now has its own section! Overall bar though is solid, plenty of options and the cocktails are always well executed

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian works well, they Mastered the whipped cheese dishes :)

Vegan, very weak options. Big opportunity to add 1 go-to dish… I’d be there every week!
