50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Nashville

“The best food and service!!“

“I for a very rare occurrence have no complaints about not only the future of but service as well. The environment is great with live jazz music. 5/5“

“The food was spectacular for this wine paired dinner. And…”the man” was in the house!“

“Omg this is the BEST omelette in Nashville! And believe me I’ve tried them all.
I’m a total brekky person always looking for new places to try and today I was tired of all the other places I’ve been with the same old avocado toast and poached eggs … or the southern places which never have an espresso machine.
So I searched… and searched…. A loooot. And it so paid off!!! Lucky I found them! Because they’re listed under seafood restaurant haha which I don’t even eat. But I saw breakfast on the menu and off we went. And we had the most perfect meal!
I had the veggie omelette with spinach peppers and onions and with feta cheese and a wheat toast (so happy they provide that option for those who need it), and my husband had the ham omelette with the yummy potatoes and we also had drinks and their famous biscuit which is to die for! It comes with a house made jam that is so fresh and delicious!
That’s it, I don’t need to look no more, from now on everytime I want eggs for breakfast we’re going thereeee!

And one more thing to add - I am diabetic so it’s always hard to find drinks that are sugar free around Nashville, especially mocktails (and that needs to change btw but that’s a review to all the bars and restaurants as a whole haha) but anyhow - this place made it great with a virgin and skinny mojito that was refreshing and lovely!

Now we’ll have to try their dinner menu too, I hope it’s just as good! 🤩“

“Absolutely, hands down, the best fish and chips I have ever had. Everything is obviously made from scratch (even the tartar sauce). My wife loved it and she isn’t even much of a fish person. Put this place on your list of restaurants to try!“

“Fast friendly service and best fish sandwich I have had in a long time!! Fries were perfect too! Will be back for sure!! A+++++“

“Service was amazing as usual! Seafood of the day was amberjack which I added to the grain bowl, and it seemed to be overcooked because it was extremely dry. The rest of the dish was good, but I did not enjoy it nearly as much as the mushroom vegetarian dish that was on the previous lunch menu.“

“Awesome place well taken care of love the design of it inside food was absolutely amazing we will definitely be back made us feel welcome for sure!“

“We came here for a girls' night out and were absolutely blown away! The restaurant offers a stunning panoramic view of the Nashville skyline, creating a beautiful ambiance. The food was exceptional! The tuna tartare, prepared tableside, was incredibly fresh with great flavor--an absolute must-try!! The duck fat fries were perfectly crispy and served with three delicious sauces, each one better than the last. The steak was cooked perfectly medium, juicy and tender, and the seared scallop on the side was a delightful addition. This spot is perfect for a girls' night out or a rom“

“The chicken and sausage gumbo was to die for. I will definitely be back for more if I ever pass through the area again.“

“Great experience with the friendliest staff in town. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit. A local’s favorite for sure.“

“Phenomenal. At a loss for words at how good our meal was tonight.“

“I had lunch with a group of girlfriends at Char last week, and it was fabulous. It is hard to find a restaurant with nice ambiance where you can also hear each other without yelling! Char was perfect - quiet enough and wonderful food. Plus, our server was delightful!“

“My family and I love coming here this is definitely out spot for Mexican food. The entrees we order never miss!!! The owner is always sweet to my little boy and surprises him with something when we come. We’ve celebrated many birthdays here and will continue to do so.“

Every single part of the restaurant was exquisite! Our server Casey was the real deal!
I'm born & raised here and can honestly say this Is the BEST Steakhouse in Nashville! I've been to them all.
Eddie V's- thank you for the unforgettable experience!“

“Miller was our waiter. We had not dined there previously. There were four of us. We opted for the “ grub experience”. ( I think is what it was called). Miller chose a family style meal for the four of us to share. It was beyond fantastic. This topped Off a week of some fine dining and it surpassed all. We cannot wait to dine in again. Miller was absolutely outstanding in his skill and service.“

“The falafel sandwiches were absolutely amazing. The falafel was crispy on the outside, super flavorful, and paired perfectly with all the fresh veggies and creamy tahini sauce. And don't even get me started on the koshary! It was a flavor explosion of lentils, rice, pasta, and that delicious tomato sauce.the staff was friendly and attentive.I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.“

The Dolly Parton theme is carried out in the most charming way, with every corner featuring quirky and fun details that perfectly capture her spirit. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant! Highly recommend if you’re in Nashville and looking for great drinks, a cute vibe, and a unique experience!“

“I can’t say enough about our dining experience! This restaurant is on my TOP list here in Nashville and I will now frequent. Everything from start to finish was superb! Our waiter Sid was nothing g more than AMAZING and the manager was very nice and came by to say hello! The FOOOOOD was SO good it’s definitely worth it!!“

“Great tacos! I tried their carnitas, birria, and fried shrimp tacos and I'd be stoked to be eating any of them again right now. Everything was juicy and tender. Good tortillas too. The jamaica was on point. Quick, friendly service. I'll definitely be returning.
Order indoors, not at the truck.“

“Had an absolutely amazing dinner here for a company event. I’ve been to many fine dining establishments, and I think this one is the best. Food was wonderful, drinks were on point and the staff were so professional but fun and totally vibed with us. If I’m ever in Nashville again, this will be a must to visit again. Thank you for having us!!“

“I love the vibe 💜...excellent food and superb customer service...will be back“

“Love Poke’ Brothers! Food is always fresh!“

“I’ve been coming to this drive thru for years, and the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. Since the fish is cooked to order, it might take a few extra minutes but it’s well worth the wait. The service is friendly, and they really take pride in what they do. One of my favorite spots.“

“About as authentic as you can get! They are a cafeteria-style place with southern food. I am a Californian who barely eats meat but they were very kind and gave me a little sampler so I could try stuff. I got the roasted chicken- yum! Get their spicy BBQ sauce that they hip up themselves! I was full for about two days but it was super good“

“I’ve been to this place several times and always enjoy their food. The lobster grilled cheese is my favorite. It always tastes fresh and flavorful. Service was quick and efficient and Lucy who took my order was kind and patient with me. I’ll always be coming back.“

“Ordered. A fish and shrimp combo which is supposed to come with two pieces of fish and six pieces of shrimp. I got one piece of fish and five pieces of shrimp. For my side, I chose corn on the cob that I think had been sitting around for a week. The hush puppies tasted like they were straight up cornmeal that was fried. Not sure what happened with this location. It used to be the testing ground for corporate to try new menu items. Now the food quality has deteriorated so much that I probably will not return.“

“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.“

“Service was good, food was prepared and delivered quickly. Waitress was quick and responsive to our requests. Recommend for a good relaxing meal.“

“Great experience every-time.. Went in today like any normal day with my kiddo and was blessed with a free dinner and desert for too.. MANAGEMENT IS OUTSTANDING “thanks for the graduation dinner” my Fav is the Ettouffee 🔥💕✅.“

“I just left from captain d's on Jefferson street.. Got to the window for my order and the lady did not give add my sweet tea. Instead of giving me a sweet tea she told me i needed drive back around and order another sweet tea in the back of the line for a mistake that she made. What kind of mess is that??? she was a short skinny black lady with glasses and a wig. I want my tea.“

“Everything was hittin! Didn’t miss on anything!“

“Ruth’s Chris never disappoints! From start to finish, our dining experience was elegant, satisfying, and well worth the splurge. If you're a fan of classic steakhouses with impeccable service and consistently great food, this is the place.

We started off with a few appetizers, and they were fantastic. The stuffed mushrooms were rich and savory, and the shrimp cocktail was fresh with a great kick from the horseradish. Each dish came out hot and perfectly prepared, setting the tone for what was to come.

The steak, of course, was the star of the night. I ordered the filet, and it came out sizzling on their signature 500° plate—an experience in itself. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, with a buttery richness that melted in my mouth. Every bite was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. You really can’t go wrong with any cut on the menu.

We also ordered a bottle of red wine from their curated list, which had some excellent options. Our server was incredibly helpful in suggesting a pairing that worked well with both our steaks and our side dishes.“

“tried juicy today. great food. NICE portions. wonderful service. can't wait to go again!!!“

“Food was great and service was EXCELLENT. Stopped by there yesterday for lunch and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will stop by again if/when I'm in the area. Thanks!“

“The dinner food here is unbelievably good. And their lunch sandwiches are even better. The boxed lunches are great and come with a drink and a cookie. And I need to know who makes the cookies because they are so amazingly good. They rival Brightside Bakery.“

“rainforest Cafe in Nashville was amazing, our whole experience was 5 stars. thanks y'all for making our 6 year olds day.“

“Absolutely, positively incredible!! The vibe, the food, the cocktails, the service, the live music - all simply perfect. Like stepping back into 1961. Truly my favorite spot in Nashville. Frank would be proud. Don't miss this swingin' place, baby!“
