New American Restaurants in Nashville, TN

“Food was amazing! Loved the experience“

“One of the best meals we have ever had to one of be best soundtracks ever. Owners and staff are quality people. We will be back anytime we are in Nashville, if we can get in. :-)“

“Amazing dinner!!! The food was top notch and the price was reasonable. Chef Paquette did not disappoint. The Meatballs were fun. The fried pasta with the crunchy touches really lit the dish. The venison was cooked perfectly and there was no gamy flavor. Just perfectly soft and tender. Lastly the dessert was another delectably perfect mix of soft and crunchy. Chef did an incredible job of mixing textures. Loved this place.

My only critique… Skip the cauliflower. Kinda basic.“

“The atmosphere is very nice and the food is delicious!“

“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!“

“Very elevated, comfortable atmosphere. Everyone I encountered was pleasant and knowledgeable. I sat at the bar and ate and the service was great. Food was delicious and the seasonal touches brought every bite to life. If you have dietary restrictions, let them know and they accommodate well.“

“Stayed in Green Hills while visiting Nashville and was led to ETC. with just a little research. This was a fabulous find for us as the food was beautifully prepared and artistically presented and the staff from the front door to our departure was engaged, upbeat and friendly. Five STARS all the way around. The location is a bit surprising, not where you'd expect. I t was a great off-the-beaten path little spot very close to major retail shopping and hotels, so very convenient for us.“

“The best dining experience I’ve ever had. The chef’s choice was an awesome choice! Everything that came out was delicious. Our servers were wonderful especially our waitress who had us sign her Nancy Drew book. That added to the experience! Can’t wait to go back!“

“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 and service! The chefs are artist. ❤️“

“You can’t beat the Skull room in Nashville. The food, service, music, and atmosphere 5 plus stars! Highly recommend“

“Ho. Ly. Sh*t. What an amazing experience! The food was delicious, the vibe was immaculate, and the staff was TOP NOTCH!!! Shoutout Adrian for being the most attentive server we’ve seen in Nashville in a while! The night was made because of you and your team!!! Will certainly be back, again and again and again!“

“5th & Taylor in Nashville made for a really nice dinner while we were in town. The atmosphere felt stylish and intimate, and the tomato pie, sausage biscuits, and short rib were all enjoyable. A few flavors were a little bolder and saltier than I usually prefer, but overall it was a relaxed night out and a good place to experience Nashville’s dining scene.“

“Excellent Food, great Service. Wonderful experience“

“amazing food and staff! The brunch is top tier“

“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.

“Live music with great food, drinks, & service!“

“Unreal - the food and service was insane. The host, was the most respectful, welcoming and nice person I have ever interacted at a restaurant. I didn't get her name, but she truly made the experience unforgettable. She was the most polite person and made this experience even better.“

“We loved it! Bison burger for the win! 3 visits to the restaurant in 3 days! Staff, and food are great! We highly recommend stopping in and giving it a try! You won’t be disappointed!“

“• The Vibe: Efficient. Warm. 5-Star Service. • The Miss: Alfredo was too light. (Nothing beats Nana's). • The Hit: Scallops & Risotto were perfect. • The MVP: The desserts stole the show.“

“We loved Fancypants so much, we ate there twice on our short trip to Nashville (and invited friends in from out of town to try it, too)!

The ambiance is top tier from the moment you walk in the door! A super friendly hostess greets you with a welcome cocktail, the decor is gorgeous, and there is great music playing overhead (not me Shazamming repeatedly)!

The crafted cocktail menu is delicious, unique, and well balanced - and the bartenders Max and Charlie are so great to chat with!

On both visits, we had the Chef’s tasting menu and on both visits, we were blown away. Charlie even remember which items we had already had previously and made sure we got to sample different items, too!
Presentation, flavor profiles, and preparation are all top tier - some of the best dining I’ve experienced worldwide!

We loved meeting and chatting with Jake about the food, the concept behind Fancypants, and about bourbon (among other things)!

I truly cannot recommend Fancypants enough! It is an absolute MUST!“

“Wowza, one of the best brunches we have ever been to ! Food was plentiful, lots of choice ! We had a number of food intolerences at our table and everyone was able to get a ton of food due to the vast selection and so many options. Everything was fresh and constantly being replenished. Line for the buffet moves quickly and servers are quick and attentive when you need them. Would come back to Nashville just for this brunch !!“

“We went to the location on Gandy Boulevard today. We were just passing by and saw it so looked up the menu online. At this particular location there was a kiosk to order and no indoor seating. There was a taphouse next-door that had outdoor seating so we grabbed a drink and ate our food there. The portions were large and everything was absolutely delicious! I was delighted to find vegan options. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful! We would definitely come back again!“

“Everything was delicious! And my husband (who’s not vegan) even liked his food. It came out hot and fresh. We will definitely be back“

“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!!“

“We had an outstanding birthday dinner party for 12 and cannot rave enough about the experience- delicious pre-fixe menu, perfect wine selection, and service was impeccable. Special shout out to August who handled our rowdy party perfectly! August definitely made our evening memorable!“

“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!“

“This is my go to place when dinner is the question. I love, love the food here.“

“Sexy food the best food thank you for everything“

“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 service was excellent and the food was phenomenal.“

“What an incredible place! Celebrated with friends last night and the food was amazing, the service incredible (Dee Dee was simply awesome) and the vibe was wonderful! We LOVE this place!“

“we went to this restraunt during my husband's work party last night and it was amazing! the drinks were made so fast! they were made very well, you can tell that the bar tender really takes the drinks seriously in the best way! :) their very social and kind, they were super calm even through everyone getting their and getting drinks prepped and sent out, then the food was a solid 9/10! for me personally I'm a picky person but i loved just about everything, the servers and host were also very kind I wish I had gotten all their names to reccomend! the bar tenders name was Christian and he was truly wonderful at his job, my favorite was the creme Brule dessert, it was sweet and smooth and crunchy and perfect, I truly reccomend this place for a calm or social event where your able to truly relax in a wonderful little place ❤️ also the alcohol selection was really nicely selected i had tried the spicy sangria, pomegranate margarita, polar pear & blackberry something, they were also so good about telling the ingredients and what they like about the drinks makes it an easier selection, or they have bourbon for those who love a strong smooth drink“

“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.“

“My sister and I treat ourselves every weekend dining out, somewhere nice. RozePony was just what we needed. We shared some appetizers, my sister loves wedge salad and this was the best one she’s ever had. The Almond risotto and the trout were so delicious we didn’t have room for dessert. So we took some to-go. Highly recommended!“

“A group of 10 of us came for a 50th birthday celebration, and everything was perfect from the sweet host with the glasses, to the amazing waitress, Sally, who made the evening special for the birthday girl, amazing ambiance and food! Highly recommend!“

“Great pizza, drinks and service!!“

“amazing service and food“

“I felt like I went to my friend's house to eat. Very warm inviting. Excellent service 👏. Very clean old house. The food Holy smokes! So good. We tried the fried green tomatoes with a red pepper sauce, a ahia tuna taco, the Daniel's big breakfast and a Ruben with okra. The grits were perfection seriously best I have ever eaten. All the food was sooo soooo good and fresh. Like the okra was not previously frozen it wasnt mushy at all. We look forward to going back and the price was very reasonable especially for the portion sizes. Can't wait to eat the other half of my left overs for dinner.“

“This is a great place for a quick meal.“

“This is a nice bar at the Tempo. It’s large with a lot of seating which is good because it gets busy. We stopped in a few times. Some menu items looked interesting but we were on our way out for dinner. Tyler was friendly and I enjoyed the Melon Mare while also enjoying the views from the floor to ceiling windows.“

“Last night we had a wonderful dinner at Germantown Cafe!! We had an outstanding server, thank you Conner!! The Tenderloin Pork with the Mash potatoes and green beans was outstanding! Thank you guys for sharing the sauce recipe with me!! Tim & Kat :)“

“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!“

“Gary and staff are amazing and the views are unbeatable!“

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