Here's a Yelp-style review you could post:…read more Stopped into White Alligator and had a great experience! My sister ordered the crawfish étouffée, which was well-seasoned with just the right amount of kick. It came with plenty of rice and crawfish, making it a hearty and satisfying dish. I ordered the shrimp wedge salad, and they definitely did not skimp on the shrimp! The blackened shrimp was perfectly seasoned and paired wonderfully with the bleu cheese dressing. A nice surprise was the bacon--not crumbled on top, but two large slices that added great flavor and texture. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails. I ordered the Flower Drop, which was recommended by the bartender, and it was absolutely delicious. My sister chose the Golden Hour, which was a bit more spirit-forward compared to my drink but still very enjoyable. Overall, everything was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was great. Ambiance low key which I love and family friendly as it's set in the Factory! I'll definitely be back!

Came here on a sweltering day for lunch with a coworker & client, who we'll call Dennis because…read morethat was his name. Culamar is drenched in natural light and decorated simply - nothing too loud or busy about the place, thus perfect for a working lunch. The menu was odd and we all struggled to understand the categories it was broken up into. Each item read as a series of arbitrarily listed ingredients. Our (half asleep, disinterested) waitress informed us the dishes were, in majority, "tapas style", a term I find exhaustingly passé. I began to dream of restaurants down the road we could have selected, but we were here and we must stay the course! I had to keep it together for Dennis. We ordered 6 dishes for the three of us to share, and you know what? They were all excellent. Really such outstanding bites. I was stunned by how much I enjoyed the beef carpaccio, the calamari was the best I've ever had (amazing tempura fry!), the Gnuddi (basically a massive gnocchi) in browned butter and crisp sage was a pillowy delight. In spite of my initial concerns -- the hiccups of a confusing menu and our less-than-energetic waitress -- we all left with pleased palates.

We were hoping to sit on the rooftop, but unfortunately it was raining, so we ate inside. The…read morerestaurant wasn't necessarily that busy, but because the space is really tight, it definitely felt busy and a little cramped. Service was also a bit slow. The food itself was absolutely delicious. The bread was AMAZING and honestly one of the highlights. We also ordered the oysters, beef carpaccio, and duck, and everything tasted incredible. My biggest complaint is the price for the portion sizes. I really don't mind spending money on a nice dinner, but every dish we ordered was gone in what felt like less than a minute. Everything tasted amazing, but for the amount of food you actually get, I just couldn't justify the prices. We actually left and ended up going to another restaurant afterward because we were still hungry, which was pretty disappointing considering how much we had just spent. Overall, the food was delicious, but between the extremely small portions, high prices, tight space, and slower service, it just wasn't worth it for us. I'm glad we tried it, but I wouldn't go back.

I ordered the…read moreshrimp and crab platter, about $65, and there was only one piece of corn while most of the platter was potatoes. The potatoes were noticeably undercooked, the corn was stale, and the egg had a strange rubbery texture. I didn't bother trying the sausage. The shrimp was tough, and the crab seemed old and lacked flavor despite the seasoning. Overall, the flavor felt more oil/butter-based than seasoned throughout the seafood, especially compared with similar seafood spots. Since everything comes pre-seasoned, there's also very little customization. My mom can't have salt or pepper and normally gets plain seafood with butter, but that wasn't an option here. The restaurant itself is clean and nice, but the food was not worth nearly $100 for two platters. I had considered trying this place before and noticed it was always empty. I should have trusted that first impression. The flavor is not bad for the seasoning but the food itself left a lot to be desired.

If you're looking for a restaurant that puts seafood front and center, put this place on your list!…read moreIt can get busy, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. No reservation? Don't worry, you may be able to grab a seat at the beautiful bar when you walk in. The atmosphere is fantastic. There's great music playing softly in the background, and as you look around, you realize you're dining inside a beautifully renovated old warehouse. Here's a little inside history: the building was once used to make handles for old hammers and axes. Look closely at some of the beams and you can actually see the hammer marks! Okay, enough history, let's talk drinks! I started with an Old Fashioned made with Sazerac Rye Bourbon. It was very good and served with clear ice, which is always a good sign. My only complaint? They used a red cherry instead of a Maraschino cherry. They definitely need to step up their Old Fashioned game! They also made a great Dirty Martini, or as I like to call it, a "Dirty & Skanky Martini." Now for the food! We started with the Spanish Octopus, which was absolutely delicious. The Bluefin Belly was very good, and the Corn-Milk Hush Puppies were SOOOO good! We also tried the Summer Squash, which was another great addition to the meal. For my entrees, I went with the Wild Striped Bass, WOW! Amazing flavor, and check out the Jonah Crab on top! I also tried the Grilled Swordfish with Brisket Marmalade, and that was another winner. The combination of flavors was fantastic! And I have to give a big shout-out to the service. Everyone was amazing, attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. If you're visiting Nashville, or you live here, put this place on your list! Great atmosphere, creative seafood dishes, excellent service, and some really memorable food. I'll definitely be back!

The striped bass was good with a nice Jonah crap beurre blanc sauce. Cocktail had a good clear ice large cube presentation and a good balance of bourbon, rye amaro and bitters. I don't live in Nashville but would come back to this place when I returned. The waitress mentioned the octopus as a stand-out which I will try next time.

For months, one of my friends kept insisting we go to her "Vietnamese crawfish boil place." I love…read moreVietnamese food and I love seafood, so I was curious, but I had never eaten crawfish and certainly never done this fusion style of boil. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. We finally got the plan out of the group chat and into real life for a girls' night on Sunday. Parking is limited but easy right in front, if you come on the earlier side (which we did). Our Vietnamese friend was running late, so my other friend and I placed the order off a very explicit text from her. We did a make-your-own boil: four pounds of crawfish and two pounds of shrimp in Cajun garlic butter, plus red and green sauces on her advice. One tip I wish we'd known going in: there's a Vietnamese menu and an American menu, and we ordered off the American one. The boil wasn't as spicy as we'd hoped, but it still had plenty of flavor and a decent kick. If you're spice averse, the Cajun garlic butter is still a safe bet with a lot of depth of flavor. The food came fast and took over the entire table. A huge tray of crawfish, shrimp, corn, and potatoes arrived with gloves, a trash can, and a spread of fixings to add more spice and flavor, if you so choose. It is messy and we replaced our gloves and trash can about halfway through. It is also SO incredibly satisfying to crack a shell and eat the meat straight out of it, dripping in butter and whatever seasoning you've mixed up. You work for every bite, which somehow makes the indulgence feel earned. As a first-timer, I'd say crawfish tastes a little like lobster, and I honestly liked it more. Everything tasted extremely fresh, which I suspect is why this place has a following. When our friend arrived, she added two orders of grilled scallops from the Vietnamese menu. They come in the shell with butter, fresh herbs, and breadcrumbs, and they were outstanding, an absolute must-order item. She called all of this the "appetizer" portion of the meal. The main event, apparently, was three bowls of Vietnamese udon soup: a heaping bowl of rich broth with aromatics, pork, crab, and shrimp. It was deeply flavorful and a great complement to the boil. The broth really soothed my allergies and I appreciated that the seafood boil was not a salt bomb like other boils I've been to. We finished nearly all the boil and every scallop, then took at least half of each soup home. With tax and tip, it came to about $99 per person for the three of us. For this much seafood at this quality, that's a great deal. I'm already planning my next visit and have told everyone I know. (Literally, lol, even friends who don't live in Nashville heard me raving about this spot!) Street Brothers is a hidden gem in Paragon Mills off Nolensville Road, and one of the best meals I've had in Nashville in a long while!

Our server, (forgot his name) was outstanding and so were all the staff that night. We stared with the calamari and it was good, but we had more fried shrimp than calamari which we thought was odd. We split the wedge salad which was good but dressing was on the rather sweet side. The potato was okay, not really special. The best part was the steak. Made perfectly and good but will say it was pretty fatty so a few areas we couldn't eat. Also the macaroni and cheese is usually one of my fave but this time lacked flavor and was dry. All in all, it was okay and not our norm experience with their food.

Connecticut lobster roll was buttery and fantastic. The chips that came with it were good. My husband's Signature Fish wasn't that great. Rather greasy and didn't taste like our previous visits.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by one of the sweetest hosts, who made us feel genuinely welcome. We had made a reservation, and our table was ready immediately, making for a smooth and stress-free start to our meal. I would highly recommend making a reservation at least a day in advance--two days if you're visiting on a weekend or during peak travel times. It was clear this place is popular, and for good reason. Our server, Cody, truly made the experience unforgettable. Hands down, he is the best server I've ever had anywhere. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the menu, explain the daily specials, answer all of our questions, and offer recommendations based on what we were looking for. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality elevated our entire dining experience. We ordered the pancakes, omelets, and of course, the famous biscuits. The biscuits absolutely deserve the hype! They were warm, buttery, fluffy, and practically melted in your mouth. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious, and the omelets were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. One thing I really appreciated is that while Loveless Cafe offers a supper menu in the evenings, breakfast is served all day. That's perfect for anyone like me who believes breakfast tastes good no matter what time it is! It's easy to see why Loveless Cafe has become such a Nashville staple. Between the warm Southern hospitality, outstanding service, and incredible food, this was an experience we'll be talking about long after breakfast. If you're visiting Nashville, or even if you're a local who hasn't been yet, put Loveless Cafe at the top of your list. And if you're lucky enough to have Cody as your server, you're in for an exceptional experience!
