48 Best Seafood Restaurants in Nashville

“The best food and service!!“

“Eddie V’s Prime Seafood delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and worth every bite.

The service truly elevated the night. Our waiter, Mike D, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. He anticipated our needs without being overbearing and made the entire experience feel smooth and personal. The atmosphere was polished yet comfortable, making it a perfect spot for a special evening or a relaxed upscale meal. Consistently excellent all around and absolutely worth the visit.“

“Went to the Murfreesboro location and it was so good! Prices were fair and the service was incredible! Super friendly staff. My husband and I were very impressed!“

“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.“

“Very nice place. Innovative, relatively small menu with a focus (though not exclusively) on seafood. High quality dishes, well prepared and presented. Excellent service. Relaxed atmosphere especially for this neighborhood (at least on the night we were there). We tried the seafood platter (only available Fri & Sat). It was plenty for 2 and could be enough for 3 people with lite appetites.“

“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+++++“

“Friendly service. Ordered lobster roll, crab cake sandwich, hand cut fries and freshly squeezed lemonade all very good! Larger seafood portions than cousin’s! Lobster Mac N cheese NO Bueno! Would recommend and come again to try other items on the menu!“

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

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

“The tacos gobernator are the absolute best shrimp tacos I have ever had in my life!!!!

They always seem happy to see me, very friendly but font speak much English yet they are genuinely happy to see me coming. Love this place!“

“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!!“

“This is our first time coming, and we will come back again. .The food was also great. the portions were Hage. the fish was very crispy and cooked to perfection. This is definitely a place to come.“

“Etc. offers high-end food experiences with incredible service. Their wait staff, mixologist, and management take incredible care of us each visit. Their alcohol drink selection is excellent for my fiance, and they have made me bespoke mocktails for me.“

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

“Very popular in the food court. It’s a line to order and to wait. They do take your number and text you when the food is ready, which is very helpful. You can grab a table first inside the food court. It is a huge hall and buzzing crowd.

The lobster is soft and tasty. The bread is buttery and fluffy. Butter makes it to another level. Overall a great lobster roll. But it’s a smaller portion. I will recommend to go for other food options if you are very hungry. This is for the fancy taste and expensive ingredients.“

“Awesome food! I would highly recommend stopping by if you see him set up! He stopped by Fairview tonight and was giving away free plates! Some of the best catfish I have ate in awhile.“

“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“

“We order delivery every year when we visit Nashville. Definitely recommend!!“

“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.“

“Excellent meal served by Dakota! Everything was great, served perfectly as ordered, prompt and professionally. We traveled in from Louisville with our only objective to eat at Jeff Ruby's and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended! Thanks again Dakota for a wonderful meal!“

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

“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.“

“Always consistent! Great food! Good People! Great Local Place!“

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

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

“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’ve visited Halls in Nashville several times, but last night was truly the best experience yet. My sister and brother-in-law came in from Memphis to celebrate my birthday, and everything—from the food to the service—was outstanding, as always. We were also fortunate to meet the owner, Tommy, who took the time to stop by our table. He went above and beyond to make the evening feel extra special, which made the celebration even more memorable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—we’ll definitely be back! I highly recommend Halls to both locals and visitors; you won’t be disappointed.“

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

“Best food we've had since we left N'Awlins!! The etouffee and po boys were amazing and then the bread pudding just topped it all off! So good! We will be back for more very soon!“

“Exquisite food & amazing magicians!“

“We had an incredible group dinner at Sinatra’s! From start to finish, the food and service were absolutely outstanding. As Nashville natives who have tried countless restaurants around town, Sinatra’s is hands down our #1 spot - whether for a full dinner or just cocktails. The live music is phenomenal, the vibe is top-tier, and the service is truly unmatched.

Nicholas was the first person to make our experience at Sinatra’s exceptional, and we’re so grateful - not only to visit him at our favorite restaurant, but to introduce so many of our friends to this amazing establishment as well.

Our group enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, chicken parmesan, meatballs, Caesar salads, and many other dishes - and everything was served perfectly.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I had an exceptional dining experience at Char in Green Hills! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and sophisticated—a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making great recommendations and ensuring every detail was taken care of. The food was absolutely outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Whether it was the perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, or the creative sides and appetizers, every bite was a delight. The wine and cocktail selection complemented the menu perfectly. Overall, Char is a must-visit for anyone looking for an elevated dining experience in Green Hills. Whether it's a special occasion or just a night out, you'll leave impressed and planning your next visit!“

“Really good food and staff“

“The best safe place for all of the LGBTQ+ peeps and introverts and extroverts safe too.“

“Visited the Aquarium on our way out of Nashville from North Carolina. I got the Mega burger & my daughter got the chicken alfredo which was delicious. Courtney our server was the absolute best she took good care of us and i even got to take a shark home with my shark bite drink !“

“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.“

“Excellent Food, great Service. Wonderful experience“

“Aubrey our server was great! It was a busy Friday night, but the restaurant has a good system and we were seated within 20 min. The egg rolls are an appetizer, but big enough to be an entree. Not pictured was our s’mores cheesecake, but their cheesecake never disappoints.“

“Upon arriving to Carrabba’s, my stomach was rumbling. This was my first tine using carry-out at this location . The food was ready, hot , packaged. A lovely gentleman Alex greeted me at the carry-out window. As we were going over my order, I noticed I made a mistake. Alex re-looked at my order to understand where the error was and quickly got helped to fix it. A lovely manager by the name of Patricia went over and correct my order. Great customer service!! I’m a Carrabba fan for life!!“

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

“It was my first time visiting the roof top last night and I was not disappointed! My amazing server Rachel really hit the spot with all of her recommendations! The view, the food, the drinks, and the service were impeccable. I cannot wait to check out Butchertown Hall!“

“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!“

“Went here for late night Mexican and boy was it tasty! Fresh ingredients, served hot from the kitchen super fast service. Chicken fajitas were the bomb. Salsa with chips so perfect. Large menu. Festive outdoor area, playing Mexican music at a moderate level but still had great convo. If you're looking for a quiet fancy place this isnt it, more dive hole in the wall. Yummy, authentic, highly recommend!“
