- DDrewNashville •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFood was an experience! Small portions as they value ambience, wine and delicately built plates. Server Callan was amazing, the owner came by to show us our chosen wine - AJ Adam. Would recommend getting multiple small plates with one large entree. Going back again soon! Only downfall in my opinion was parking - highly trafficked area and may have to park down street, not a big deal though!More infoBad IdeaPrice: Very Expensive• Wine Bar• East Nashville•4.6

- MMollyVIPNashville •1 review5.0Dined 5 days ago10/10 experience. They have thought of every detail to curate a perfect vibe. The small, intimate 14 seat room makes it feel like you are connected to the chefs preparing each selection. The drink choices were unique and so delicious. It was hard to pick a favorite course because they were all so so good! Can’t wait to go back!! Def. worth staying up until midnight to snag that reservation!!More infoKase x NokoPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• East Nashville•5
- CCarterPortland / Oregon •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoOur server, (forgot his name, but a tall and polite gentleman), took great care of us and brought us a free dessert and savory dish, as we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday and our five year anniversary. Something I enjoyed about him too, is he was informative, guided us through how the menu works, but was not overbearing in his delivery or presence at the table. I’ve been to so many places where you can tell the server is being a bit performative and will drown you in details instead of reading the room and giving people time to process lol. What really stood out as well, was the fact that every staff member we interacted with, (the host, server, and THREE other employees on the floor), all knew we were celebrating and made a point to congratulate us. You could tell they pay attention to special details here. My partner and I are both in the service industry (fine dining), so we notice the small stuff and had no complaints! Even our water glasses never dropped below 3/4ths full. Also worth noting — the value you get for the delicious food, great ambience, and service is WELL worth the price. A wonderful dining experience without breaking the bank. Would highly recommend this place 👍🏻More infoNokoPrice: Expensive• Asian• East Nashville•4.9
- DDanaNebraska •16 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis is a great place for families and those with young children. They have a better kids menu than most and have plenty of (paid for) fun add ons that delight a pre-schooler. The adults had fried gator as an appetizer, fish and chips, and blacked fish tacos. All were good and what we expected quality-wise. It wasn’t nearly as loud as we expected and the Dover and mermaid were extra fun in the aquarium. Our service was great from beginning to end and the staff seemed to be in good spirits. We will be adding this to our family special event rotation.More infoAquarium Restaurant - Opry MillsPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Donelson•4.2
