50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Old Hickory

“Delicious hot chicken, wonderful collard greens and fried okra!! I will be a returning customer. Thank you so much for your kindness and delicious food!!!“

“Eddie V’s Prime Seafood is one of the most respectable upscale restaurants in the city, and the food lives up to the hype! As their name implies, their seafood is fantastic, probably the best in the entire city! They have a policy that every seafood served at Eddie V’s was alive in the ocean less than 36 hours prior! Anything left over is donated, which is impressive! And you can taste its incredible freshness throughout the meal! There are only 30 locations of Eddie V’s in 15 states, but the quality is hardly reminiscent of chain restaurant food. It’s truly exquisite! And we have very high standard having dined at Michelin-starred eateries all over the world.

The scallops, lobster, and lobster bisque are easily the best in Nashville, and we’ve dined at every high-class restaurant Music City has to offer! The butter poached lobster mashed potatoes are incredible, extra creamy topped with buttery lobster and a beurre blanc sauce. The truffle mac is equally stupendous, with a three-cheese blend, truffle oil, and thinly shaved truffles imported from France! While most upscale restaurants tend to make a very strong truffle mac that has overpowering flavors, the chef at Eddie V’s manages to make this, and all dishes, subtle and flavorful without overdoing it.

Just as amazing as the seafood are the steaks. Since they had a Japanese A5 Wagyu in the building at $40 an ounce, something they don’t have every night, I took advantage of that! As expected, the highest grade of Japanese beef did not disappoint, and the chef prepared it to perfection. That impossibly tender steak seasoned beautifully just meted in my mouth, probably the second best steak I’ve eaten in Nashville! The ponzu sauce, one of three that accompanied the steak, was delicious. The Korean inspired gochujang was also good, but maybe not perfect for this style of steak. But the wasabi paste was the winner, a perfect compliment to the beef without being very spicy, just wonderfully flavorful. Like all dishes here, they’ve impeccably balanced flavor with subtly! The desserts aren’t bad either, but they pale in comparison to the beef, seafood, and side dishes!“

“• 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.“

“Our first time for lunch today. The BEST snow crabs I have ever had. Blackened Mahi, grouper and drunken shrimp…oh and the key lime pie. Absolutely the best of everything!! Highly recommend and it’s our new weekly date night!“

“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.“

“We just left the Murfreesboro location and oh my. The food was delicious. The staff was so friendly. The lady at the counter was so kind to my kiddo and constantly checked on us. The cook came out and was kind as well. Everything was delicious and flavorful and tender. We will be back!“

“Wow. My wife and I went tonight for the first time and it was amazing. Thomas was our server and was very attentive and had great recommendations. She had the 8 oz filet and I had the Sea Bass pan seared. They were both perfect. The Chef came out and checked on our meal as well! We will definitely be returning.“

“Marsh House always delivers and I always look forward to dining there. We were seated promptly, and our server was very efficient and friendly. As we always do, we started our brunch with a biscuit order and the cinnamon roll for the table to share, and as always, they were delicious! We all went the breakfast route and we very much enjoyed our omelets and eggs. Another fantastic meal at Marsh House.“

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

“Great place highly recommend“

“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“

“The food was ??. It was fresh, hot and flavorful. Better than that though is y'all employee Trent. Y'all need to hurry up and promote him or give him a raise or something. I haven't had service like that since I was a baby. Man did everything but put the spoon to my mouth. ??“

The Hibachi Jumbo Shrimp is excellent, with great quality and satisfying portions. The waiter is always attentive whenever we visit. The atmosphere feels spacious, with plenty of seating available.“

“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.“

“The food was excellent! We sat at the bar, which was very pleasant. Jeremy took excellent care of us. The entertainment was outstanding. If you close your eyes, you could easily imagine Frank Sinatra singing live. Highly recommend this restaurant. “

“We had a 35-minute wait, but it was well worth it. It was on a Sunday after Worship Service, and a large 20+ birthday party was in progress. Once seated, everything moves quickly, and the Blacken Salmon is delicious“

“I was so happy to find this gem in the Mt Juliet area. The food is well spiced for me ( level 3 or 4 depending on my mood ). The staff are very friendly creating a welcoming atmosphere. I love the gongura dishes in particular. My wife and I visit here almost weekly. I recommend this restaurant.“

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

“Great place for one on one encounters and the monthly wine tasting dinners.“

“Had an amazing time at the bar at the Aquarium thanks to Holly! She’s one of those bartenders who makes everyone feel welcome while still keeping up with a busy crowd. Her recommendation, the Cornarita, was fantastic—ice cold, refreshing, and the perfect combo of margarita with a Corona. Great drinks, great vibe, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Excellent Food, great Service. Wonderful experience“

“Food is great service is great . Jessie was great. Clean and great place to eat“

“The food was decent, regular Captain D's fare. HOWEVER, I want to say a thank you and Way-To-Go to the super sweet, cashier, Reba! There was ice near the front entrance, she left the building to help my elderly parents step over the ice, then was so sweet and patient while my parents ordered. Thank you so much!“

“We had dinner here tonight. Good ambiance and excellent service. We enjoyed the fettuccini, pesto and rigatoni. ♥️“

“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!“

“So I'm very big on condiments and a lot of places uou go to give you hard time about it. You ask them for extra ketchup and they act like you asked them for their first born. However, the young man at the window, black, twenty something, slim, half black and half brown treads didn't mind at all. He was more worried about guest satisfaction than trying to run something. I appreciate his professionalism and his willingness to seek good customer service! Please take the time to thank that young man for me!“

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

“I went to a Daou vineyards wine class last night. The food and wine were amazing. Their house bubbly is fantastic! The staff did an excellent job making sure everyone was comfortable and had a good time. The chef and owner came to check on us numerous times. I highly recommend this place. Can’t wait for another class! 10/10! 5 ⭐️“

“We had eaten before visiting Lainey's place. The Dualing Pianos were very entertaining and my small group enjoyed the evening. The drinks were typical of a bar atmosphere. I enjoyed the atmosphere and energy. I would recommend visiting.“

“Interesting place. Good food. Family styled all you can eat sides. Coleslaw and green beans are excellent. Great French fries, which are served with most entrees. The only item I would not recommend is the fried clams. They were extremely small and over breaded. Could not even taste the clams. Everything else is very good, if not outright excellent! Sides are served family-style and they're all you can eat. We've had both the catfish and the chicken, and they were both very good. Definitely a pleasant place to eat. The people are very friendly and work hard. I defineitely recommend!“

“Great restaurant with amazing food and an unbelievable staff!“
