New American Restaurants in Nashville, TN

“Pinewood in Nashville was amazing! We came here for a bachelorette party and had the best experience. The food was incredible, the drinks were on point, and the service made us feel like total VIPs. Our group was taken care of from start to finish and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Pinewood if you’re looking for a fun spot in Nashville with great vibes, great food, and great service!“

“Food was amazing! Loved the experience“

“The food and the service are always outstanding at Etc. I had the bread and butter (a little expensive but worth it for the almond peptic butter), the fish (delicious), and the sesame tart for dessert. It was all wonderful. The only issue there is parking, but if you keep looking, you will find a space not too far away.“

“Fantastic service coupled with a well-executed menu!! Intimate atmosphere and delicious plates. Perfect for girls night out or a date night. Parking can be a challenge so don’t be late. The maitre’d is prompt to greet you and they ensure that your experience is flawless throughout the meal. 10/10 recommend!!“

“This was an amazing food and wine journey. Do yourself a favor and get the wine pairing (if you drink) as the Somm was spot on and extremely talented! The food was so creative, fun, and delicious. The environment is engaging and fun. Honestly it was better to us then The French Laundry for creativeness, approachability and environment. Everything was simply amazing while relaxed and fun. The chefs are beyond talented, chatting with you while building and keeping their rhythm on their dishes. It was a phenomenal adventure and we can’t wait to go back!“

“I'm a New Yorker in Nashville. In this Neopolitan wood fired era, this is different. It takes time, but usually good things do.

And like a good New Yorker, I picked this ezzo pepperoni slice up to eat it. That is a skill, from me and the chef.“

“Chauntel with Offline - Absolutely phenomenal experience!

Fancy Pants exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and professional. You get a complementary cocktail in an adorable glass cup. The plating was nothing short of art, every dish was beautifully presented didn’t disappoint in flavor. You can tell that a lot of care and creativity goes into every detail, from the ingredients to the presentation.“

“I enjoyed a lovely catered event here through my employer. Though I wasn't able to order individually, many of the items were from their normal menu. I'd recommend the sausage cheddar biscuits and the beef cheek pot roast. The rest of the items were good but those two really stood out.“

“Each time we fly through Nashville, we stopped here to eat. The food is really good, and the service is top-notch. The manager, Maverick? I think, will be seen busing tables during busy times. The wait staff is always friendly. This time we had Tracy- a spunky gal with a great attitude. No matter what you order you can’t go wrong with a side of their queso. That wonderfully smooth hot cheese dip is good on everything. Also, most of the time we split when we go here- we get the double patty burger- it’s excellent!“

“Excellent Food, great Service. Wonderful experience“

“This was the perfect cozy spot for a November family dinner. Everything was delicious but standouts were the NY strip with mole sauce, roasted squash and fluffernutter pie. Our family of three shared everything and still had leftovers. Grace provided fantastic service and made sure all courses were paced appropriately so we could enjoy them all. We will definitely be back!“

“Avo in Nashville is a must-visit! The cheese platter is absolutely incredible—perfectly curated and packed with flavor. It’s definitely a must-do when you’re there. The pesto penne primavera was amazing, with fresh, vibrant flavors that really stood out. And don’t miss out on the avocado margarita—it’s a unique and delicious twist on a classic cocktail that you’ll want to try! The vibe is laid-back yet trendy, and the food and drinks are top-notch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vegan food and a fun experience!“

“Husk is a must try if you’re in Nashville and wanting a nice dinner spot. It is pricey but it’s worth it. The delicata squash appetizer was to die for! The service was good, our waiter was a bit cold and not very chatty or friendly which is why I only gave it 4 stars.“

“My kids took me for my birthday. Walking in, the ladies at the front were very nice wishing me a happy birthday. Our waiter, Clifton, could not have been any nicer or attentive. My menu came with a Happy Birthday Anna written on it. The whole experience was really special. Everyone was just friendly and did their job over and above expectations. The food was very good. My daughter and I split a 12 oz Cowgirl ribeye which was perfect. My son got the Cowboy ribeye and he said it was amazing. The Mac n cheese was good. My DIL got the pasta primavera and she liked it. The butter cake was great and the waiter surprised me with Crème Brûlée. All very good. Great atmosphere. Definitely will be going back. Thank you for making my birthday memorable!“

“Excellent food and service! The chefs are artist. ❤️“

“Food was great and the service was awesome. Very tentative. If you like a normal dark espresso martini do not get their house as they do make it different and it tastes like black licorice. The clam pizza and the margarita pizza were very good!!“

“Velvet Taco has great tasting flavor combinations, But… the tortillas are cold grocery store type. I ended up just eating the inside of my tacos with chips because the tortillas reminded me of playdoh… change the tortillas to a more authentic (cooked) tortilla and it’ll be sooo much better!!“

“The service was excellent and the food was phenomenal.“

“While visiting family in Nashville we dined at Gunnons. This was my second visit, and I again was not disappointed. The prime rib is superb and much more than I could eat. Our table shared the eggplant olivia and I have to say that it is the best eggplant dish I have ever eaten.“

“I have brought family and friends to sixty vines a few times and really enjoy their atmosphere, food, and service! Each time I have been has been 10/10. Parking down on 5th broad and going up to the top is so quick and easy as well. The food is fresh, wine is delicious, and the atmosphere is a fun boho vibe. I have had the pleasure of having Johnathan as our server the last few times and he is so personable , fun, kind, and one of the best on broadway!! One of my favorite spots In Nashville 🍷“

“The deviled eggs amazing 😋“

“Best meal we had in Nashville! The restaurant was recommended to us by our bus driver from Tennessee Whiskey Tours and he was not wrong. Everything was 100% professional and well organised, Chris looked after us and made sure we had everything we needed. The inside of the restaurant is modern and chic and it would be great for a special occasion - just a date night for myself and my husband. Now the restaurant is on the highest end of the price scale but you pay for what you get and it was well worth the money. I had the nicest glass of Malbec ever 🤍 and both steaks were cooked to perfection. Can not recommend enough.“

“The food was amazing and the red velvet cake was more than amazing… Fast food and very friendly and polite service….“

“We have eaten at Southside Grill for about twenty years. We go there for a quick bite to eat, Sunday brunch and, celebrations. We ate there last night and had probably the BEST meal we have ever had at Southside Grill. It was fantastic!“

“Great food and great service to go along with it.“

“Our first visit to Blue Moon Waterfront Grille was a pleasant surprise, especially considering we live nearby and didn't even know it was there! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and seated us immediately, which was great since we were all hungry. After placing our order, the food arrived incredibly fast, and it was clear that everything was prepared fresh. I ordered the catfish, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had—and I’ve eaten a lot of catfish! Our picky daughter even enjoyed her meal, which is always a challenge. The waterfront view made for a relaxing dining experience, and the music added a nice touch without being overwhelming. The outdoor seating gave us a beautiful view of the lake, adding to the overall ambiance. This spot has a charming "hidden gem" vibe, and we loved how it made us feel like we were far from the city, even though it’s right in our neighborhood. If you enjoy seafood, especially catfish, Blue Moon is a must-visit. The atmosphere, the food, and the service make it a restaurant worth returning to!“
