Restaurants near Nashville Zoo at Grassmere

Maiz De La Vida is excellent ! It was a delicious dining experience that exceeded expectations. It is one of the few new Nashville restaurants that I’ll return to. My husband travels to Mexico frequently and said it reminded him of food from Mexico City, authentic, well seasoned, just enough spice. I highly recommend!

We had a party of 4, sat outside in the heated patio. Very comfortable and cozy. 2 of us got the shrimp and grits. Savory sauce, really good. My husband got the scallops. He enjoyed them, good flavor but there were only 3 scallops. Would go back.

My husband and I went for Valentine’s Day and it was a great experience. We loved the prefixed menu and will definitely be back! Everything we ordered was so good. We especially loved the Chicken Parm, Spicy Vodka Rigatoni, and the broccolini!

Very nice experience . Had a table in the bar area. Not too thrilled with the comfort of seating. In the chairs you sink too deep and back too far. The booth part was ok. We saw several people sit in the chair and move to the wall side. Food great and wine choice great.

Making reservations for a time we wanted was easy. Everything we ordered was great! We started with an expresso martini and a local beer and pretzels with the cheese fondue. Then dinner was the short ribs with potatoes au gratin with the mac and cheese. Dessert was the bread pudding and the molten lava butter cake with toffee bits. Yes, we ordered two desserts because we couldn’t decide.
