Cannot speak highly enough about our dining experience at Locust. From the moment we were greeted by the lovely hostess, Kenna, to being able to chat with the head chef, Trevor, our experience was beyond measure. Incredible, intentional menu and great wine list. Resplendent dishes that make you think twice...in the best of ways. This meal made us cry, it was that good. If you leave without having the shaved ice, you've made a critical error.

Food was so amazing! The fish was out when we visited so we went with the steak. The best beef we had in our lives! The service and ambience were lovely too! It looks like they have an excellent team working in the kitchen. A bit pricy but worth a visit!

Holy crap.. Lived up to every bit of the hype. Glorious experience from start to finish. We did the full chef menu. The wait staff was very engaged, knowledgeable, and just down right awesome. Can't say enough good things about Locust and their team.

The vibes in this place are amazing and the people were too. We have done majority of the food experiences in Nashville from Bluebird to Sushi Bar omakase. This was by far the most disappointing food experience I’ve ever had for the cost. Myself and my wife only had 1 drink each bill was just shy of $500 and we didn’t have 2 of the courses either. Applaud the effort but really came up short and would not recommend going here for what you pay. I will not go back I believe the cost is a rip off

Locust is an experience, not just a meal. The service is individualized and the presentation is an absolute show. The flavor profiles are unique and delightful. This was my first experience and I’ll be back in another season to experience the ever changing menu.

Wildly expensive and terrible all around. Save yourself $500 and go have 5 other much better meals elsewhere.

We came here on Sunday for Brunch with very high expectations given the reviews and recommendations but very quickly realized we were in for a ride (a la John Cage 4'33). The staff welcomed us warmly as we walked in. The second we took a look at the menu we were flabbergasted by the selection and prices. We live in NYC and are used to exorbitant pricing but this was on another level. If I'm paying these prices which I'm happy to for the right experience, I am expecting to be blown away. This was definitely not the case in this instance. First off, the oysters were $32 and were definitely NOT the best oysters I've ever had. The tartar was okay but not worth the $50 price tag whatsoever. The swordfish was just okay as well and for $50 one would expect an entire entree with sides and all but all we got was a fried swordfish with 3 condiments AND the serve forgot to bring us the pickles that the other tables received. The salad was drenched in dressing and was lacking in flavor as well. The bread was nice but it was bread after all. The best part of the meal was the amuse bouche in the beginning which was a mushroom soup. All in all, it felt like a twilight zone experience. $80 risotto + $40 for foie gras is INSANE! I can't stop complaining about my experience here. Oh and my girlfriend spent half the brunch in the toilet. How hard is it to create a brunch friendly menu for BRUNCH?! $200+ for a 2 person brunch WITHOUT ALCOHOL in INSANE in every sense of the word
Sundays are for dumplings. Superb like everything else here. Get the gin and tonic. Stop reading and order it now.
