Best Seasonal Restaurants in Belle Meade

North Italia in green hills is one of our favorite places to eat in Nashville! The truffle bread and the chicken pesto are a must try. Service is usually always great, too! I do recommend making a reservation.

I love this restaurant. It is the normal go to with friends. I couldn’t be happier with anything. The food, atmosphere, service, impeccable. What more can I say to use up 150 characters?

We were here from AL and had the most wonderful experience. Our server, Marshall, was awesome and attentive! Everyone enjoyed their meals. The bottomless mimosas were delicious and potent! The DJ plays great music. Have another trip planned in December with a different group of friends and will be returning!

My partner and I have been wanting to go to Locust for years, and finally for his birthday we made it happen. “Unreasonable Hospitality” this, The Bear that…this was everything and more. The experience made you truly feel like you were apart of the family, the friend group, the “in” crowd. Yes, an elevated meal, but one that was likewise comfortable, casual, and full of that warm, home cooked meal feeling. Too Much Caviar is…too much caviar. But so much fun to taste with every part of the meal. The bread just melts in your mouth, the butter is divine, and all with a Toki Highball was perfect. Razor clams on the house that were truly something I have never tasted before in my life. DIY beef tartare rolls along with amazing Tuna hand rolls, followed by abalone risotto and some shaved iced for a last hurrah. Just spectacular. And all the while, the staff is so attentive and helpful, while also being equal to one another; waitstaff, chefs, maître d, all visited to chat and mingle interchangeably. This restaurant is such a well-oiled machine that the guests truly are swept into another world— not one of four different spoons and white tablecloths, but one where a staff member stops by to talk about the Bad Nerves song he queued, a small dish on the house after making a connection in the Nashville food world, and where the team all shouts “Happy Birthday!” as you leave. Perfect strangers made family for an hour or two. Not feigned, pretend: made.

As always, the food, the service, and the ambience were great. Our server, Shannon, was wonderful. We love that one can still find a great restaurant in Nashville that has jazz adding to the overall good experience.
