50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Nashville

“Today was the first I’ve even heard about this. I was leary about it at first with the parking being terrible. But my wife really wanted to try it. So valet we went. The young man that parked my Jeep was so nice and professional. But back to the restaurant. I was 100% impressed with just a burger that we are looking forward to coming back and having a real dinner. Hands down worth the time and energy. Bartenders were great, servers were polite and who I think was a manager was very attentive. Thank you all for today.“

“An incredible dining experience in Nashville with phenomenal food and top-notch hospitality.

The meal started off strong with the coffee, which was absolutely amazing. Food-wise, the omelette was top tier, perfectly prepared and full of flavor, and the potatoes were a really solid side to round out the plate.

The service throughout the visit was fantastic. A huge shoutout to Jack for being extremely helpful, attentive, and making sure we were well taken care of the entire time.

Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“My daughter and myself sat at the bar for a couple of drinks. Micheal was a delight he guided us to what was good on the menu after knowing my daughter was a vegetarian. She had the crab cake and I had the goat cheese salad. Both dinners were A plus. My guava margarita was out standing. We will be going back again. Alice“

“I've been to Ocean Prime in other cities and have always loved it. I was really excited we got one here and I couldn't wait to check it out.
The space is beautiful and our server took great care of us.
Most importantly, the food and drinks were great.
Everything was cooked perfectly and well seasoned, we really enjoyed it. Since it was our Anniversary they gave us dessert on the house, but we were so fully so we took it to go. The carrot cake warmed up at home was really good. Definitely adding this to my favorite restaurants here in Nashville.“

“10/10 best boil! Hibachi was amazing! Will be back 💯!“

“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.“

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

“I really like the atmosphere and the hot pot at this restaurant.“

“Solo dined here for my first visit. The staff was accommodating since my initial reservation was later in the evening. Encore was my waiter and extremely knowledgeable on the menu and cuts. I had the Caesar salad, 8oz Australian Wagyu, potatoes, Brussels sprouts and gelato. Everything was so flavorful and tender. The vibes were immaculate with the live performer covering Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin songs. It was so intimate but not once did I feel uncomfortable solo dining. Would definitely come again.“
