“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.

“Really good food and staff“

“Exquisite food & amazing magicians!“

“We came here on a Friday evening and overall had a good experience. We tried 4 different cocktails and they were all very unique and tasted great. We ordered tomato basil soup which was the best I've ever had as well as a good caesar salad. We were a little disappointed in the entrees the blackened salmon and the fettuccine alfredo. We were also disappointed that the live music was just piano. We would have loved for them to sing 40s music. The price was a little steep as well as an unexpected $40 in taxes and a 3% credit card service fee. However the service was incredible and we still had a great time.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

I can firmly say that this establishment is five stars all the way around the workers are extremely knowledgeable/respectful.! The general manager, Rachel is great with breaking down the menu and helping guest order exactly what they want and has great people skills!! The AGM Alejandro Is very very nice runs a great kitchen such a great example for his workers Shows amazing customer service skills!! All in all if you’re looking for a place that serves top-tier seafood provides extraordinary customer service and will leave a good impression on you look no further than dock local at the assembly food hall!!“

“Me and my boyfriend came here today and our minds were blown, I love all Thai food and hadn’t had much in Nashville. We got the shrimp dumplings 7/10, Bao BBQ 6/10 the curry mussels appetizer and wow 1000/10 the perfect amount of garlic (which is a ton) and an amazing kick of heat we hadn’t ever had anything like it my boyfriend said they were the best mussels he’s ever had and I agree! I’m a Penang curry girl but since it’s only on Saturday I tried the masa curry since it’s Thursday and it was very good! The service was awesome and it’s very homey inside which we loved. Easily the best Thai in Nashville we will be back often!!“

“Excellent Food, great Service. Wonderful experience“

“Went to Mercado just to try something new and I was very impressed. It was during the afternoon so it was too hot to be outside, but the inside was great and comfortable to be in.

Food: I had the queso and chips for the appetizer. 5/5
I also had the oak-smoked brisket with the fries. 4/5 (the fries weren’t that good, but the brisket was GREAT)
The +1 had the Fajitas with rice and beans. 5/5.
The food was fresh and hot.

Service: We had the benefit of going when there was a lot going on, so our server was very attentive, professional, and friendly. The food came out quickly.

Atmosphere: Really vibrant and relaxing. Great place for an afternoon meal or dinner date for sure.

What really stole the show, was the bartender the drinks were PERFECT. It didn’t taste watered down, it was definitely a drink drink. Cheers to the bartender!

9/10 overall would recommend and tell a friend“

“Los mejores mariscos de la región 🤩😍💯y todo el personal súper amables y amigables. Lo mejor la piña rellena desde que la comi aqui no la e probado en otro lugar.!!“

“We went in Wednesday night without knowing it was Senior Night. It was crowded and honestly maybe understaffed, but that allowed us to witness a 16 year old running the front like a champ. J was a rock star (juvenile so I won’t add her name). The entire team was great. Good food, clean space. Everything was spot on. Visited 8/5/2026 @ 5:58PM“

“One of the better live music venues and bars in the Broadway area. Most bars can't balance the sound well, this one was loud but thankfully without the shrill that most others have due to poor sound balancing. The dueling pianos in the basement are a nice hidden touch. Drinks are 20% more expensive here than the other bars.“

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

“How did i not even know about this place until aux months ago?!!!? This is hands down, thee best Mexican in the city!!! I wake up craving their shrimp fajitas and that jumbo avocado salad. Don’t get me started on their salsa!!! CHEFS. KISS. Never change a thing.“
