Tapas Restaurants in Nashville, TN

“One of my favorite restaurants in Nashville—food and vibes are so good!! Shoutout to Ari for being the best waitress ever!“

“Brunch and Drag show were so much fun! Our bachelorette party, loved the vibe!“

“Big fan of the original in NYC and was really happy to see Boqueria not far from my hotel on a trip to Nashville for a medial meeting. Menu is always fun, and every morsel was terrific. Service was friendly, relaxed and attentive. Boqueria is always the right answer.“

“Great food, great service.“

“Had a bit of a dine around in Printers Alley this past Friday for my birthday and Black Rabbit was our first stop. We started the evening here for a few drinks and small plates. I also needed to go support this year's Iron Fork Mixology Competition winner Kenichi Saito and enjoy another award-winning Stardust! It was just as delicious as the first time but this time around I got to enjoy the entire drink guilt free. I also ordered the Mezcal Old Fashioned and The Hoffa Connection. Both were great. They have several Old Fashioneds (vodka, gin, and Bourbon) and I want to go back and try them all! We also enjoyed the Rabbit Rolls, the Pork Tacos from the happy hour menu, some sourdough, and the cacio e pepe. We thoroughly found everything to be delicious and wouldn't hesitate to order what we had again; although I'd like to try the rest of the menu too. Service was great and we can't wait to return. Thank you, Tommy, for making sure we had a great time. #FoodiesOfNashville“

“Attended the Taste of the Yucatan private event here on Nov 12, 2024. This was a great intro for locals to get to know a fairly recent entry onto the 12 South scene-- and let me tell you they made a very compelling case for why they should be the Go-To neighborhood spot for area diners. Out of town foodies will love it too, but the owners really wanted to pitch local with the event. The menu for the evening featured flavors from the Yucatan peninsula, which also pull from the Caribbean apparently. The flavors on many of the plates were complex, yet some of the dishes had a home cooked vibe, like a handed-down family recipe-- made new by Chef Santibañez. Cocktails, wine, and other bar offerings were all exceptional. Overall, the food was stunning, and the entire evening was a treat. Another notable highlight was the service: having well-trained and attentive servers add to the atmosphere seems rare to find these days, but Fonda fielded a great crew for the event. Lastly, as a local, one of the more frustrating challenges in convincing my wife and I to go out in Nashville for dinner is dealing with parking, especially in areas like 12 South. Some friends who also attended were able to walk over from their home near Belmont, while we drove over from Green Hills. So a huge asset (for me) is that Fonda has their own parking right behind the restaurant! And it's validated! I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit.“

“We had a little extra time at the airport and grabbed a great meal at Vino Fiesta. Nahom was super attentive, engaging, and predicted our needs before we had to ask. He made recommendations to fit our dietary needs and it was super tasty. We’ll try it out again next time we are coming through.“

“We definitely enjoyed our stay! The roof top bar was amazing. I had the best experience with Tyson up there. He was so kind and knowledgeable.“

“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!“

“Oh my gosh. The best sushi I’ve had in Nashville!! And the Chicken Fried Rice….I mean, it will be my go-to comfort food from now on. The Peruvian sushi with the ceviche was my fave, followed closely by the Blink 182. Go. Go now. Why are you still reading this? GO!“

“Food is incredible!! Service is great! We tried the hamachi, crispy tuna, and salmon - all excellent. Salmon was our fave. We also ordered dumplings, truffle Mac n cheese and kimchi risotto. The kimchi risotto is a must try! Drinks were great too. Will be back!“

“Good vibes. Amazing staff. And the food… good grief. I haven’t had tapas so good since I was in Spain. Everything was absolutely amazing and the olive oil cake was out of this world.“

“Elite restaurant that doesn’t just live up to the 4.9 rating, but somehow surpasses it. Everything is done exceptionally well from the service to the ambiance and especially the food. This is one of the rare times I don’t wish I could give a more granular rating because a flat 5 star is definitely accurate. We had 5 different tapas, a few cocktails, and a couple desserts and every single thing we got was a mind blowing experience. So much flavor. This restaurant will be a new benchmark for us for years to come. Having eating at several Michelin star restaurants, I would put this up there with the best of those. If you’re in Nashville, I don’t care what your budget is - you have to come here. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. Great date spot or group setting. Really suitable for any occasion.“

“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“

“I came here to see Amelia Eisenhauer and Tanir Morrison perform a musicians showcase and hung out for a while because it is a super cool place.

Tons of ciders on tap, some guest beers on tap, a food truck and great cidertenders make this a good hangout.

It's a big, open space with plenty of seating, outside and in with couches and tables.

Here's the Breakdown:

Great ciders, good food and top notch service in a cool space +5 stars.

I will for sure go back“

“Easily the best cocktail bar in Nashville. Impressive menu of 16 new cocktails from the mixologist, 16 classics along with beer and wine. Comfy intimate atmosphere. The Miso Fine is a can’t miss whiskey cocktail. The Midnight in Madeira is another amazing drink.

Must visit, hope to see this place grow!“

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

“My friends and I tried ON;DA, a new Korean restaurant in town, and we were really impressed. The atmosphere inside is bright, airy, and welcoming—perfect for a relaxed meal.

I ordered the seafood scallion pancake, and it was absolutely fantastic. Honestly, it’s the crispiest, fluffiest, and thickest Korean seafood pancake I’ve ever had. It’s easy for a thick pancake to end up soggy or for a thin one to feel floppy, but this one hit the perfect balance—crispy all the way through with great texture. The dipping sauce was amazing too—I really wish I knew what was in it!

My friend ordered some stir-fried noodles that were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the kalbi beef was tender, juicy, and beautifully seasoned. All the small side dishes were great as well. The kimchi could maybe use a little more soaking or spice for a stronger flavor, but that’s a small note in an otherwise outstanding meal.

Service was fast and friendly. They even provided a jug of cold water for the table, which I appreciated, and our food came out surprisingly quickly—especially for a Sunday brunch rush. Overall, ON;DA is a fantastic new addition to the area, and I’ll definitely be back.“

“Knowledge and engagement makes for a great journey through the nurturing of the soil, growth of the plant and finally the reward of the harvest. Enjoy the Opportunity to Engage at the Old School Farm!“

“The chef and I is consistently a 1st class experience! We have been going here for at least 5 years now and are never disappointed! They always make us feel so very special, but are not pretentious! Hands down our favorite restaurant in Nashville!“

“Phenomenal food and exceptionally prepared!“

“As an Artist Manager, Promoter and Event Host ourselves, the interaction we had with this establishment . . . was by far, THE BEST we have had in a LONG time! From initial contact by DJ Jane Dupree to handling of contracts and payments with venue owners, to bar and security staff. The patrons are lively and committed, as this truly is a one of a kind. This gem is a labor of love that is BY Artists, FOR Artists. Their time spent building, creating, and execution are all on point! Their level of professionalism is superior. The amount of flexibility, communication, hospitality and attention to detail were astounding. Their willingness to adapt to any issue thrown their way make them a dream to work with. As an attendee, whom has never been to Nashville, let alone their venue . . . they recommended food, entertainment, and even a barber. We were able to enjoy music we had never heard, had prompt service at their diversely stocked bar, and met new people that we will be speaking with in the future. The interactive nature of the venue, ensures there is plenty to explore while visiting. They craft themed events so each experience is different from the last. All of these reasons & many more (like rotating local food vendors), are why we HIGHLY suggest visiting this facility. From BOTH the perspectives of doing business and being an attendee, this is where you want to be. If you ever want to play a great space that is intimate in nature, seek them out. If you want a fun night out and are not ready to go home when the clubs close, this is the one! Hands down, a great vibe. We here at Trinidad Traxx hope they keep alive.“

“Great view! Located inside Gaylord Opryland Resort. We sat and had drinks while listening to live music and a waterfall. This is a bar with just a few bar snacks available. Mixed drinks/shots roughly $15 a piece. Cashless resort. Drinks were pretty good.“

“I tried the Bulogogi fries and it was very good, very filling and bursting with flavor. I also tried the devil miso ramen with pork, fishcakes, eggs and seaweed and a side of extra vegetables. The ramen was so good as well, but I’m biased to ramen :)“

“I really like this place. The food is consistently good. I live nearby, so it’s very convenient. I live so close in fact that when they installed their new *extremely loud* electronic entry bell I can hear it ringing in my apartment every time someone opens the restaurant door. I’ve asked them about turning it down and they said “tough luck.” It’s so loud that I can’t imagine ever sitting in the dining room and eating there when you can get blasted by a blaring alarm tone with every customer who enters. Fix it and I’ll fix my rating.Edit: sounds like they turned down the obnoxious noise.“

“We had lunch here before we left and Samir took such excellent care of us. Telesa and Keke at the host stand were also so friendly warm and welcoming. Everyone here was so friendly, welcoming and professional. We had the classic burger and the lamb sandwich. The food was so delicious, fresh and flavorful. We can't wait to be back!“
