    Falafel
    Sarah A.

    Came here with a friend on a Saturday evening with a reservation. We were seated immediately in a cozy corner table for 2. The host was super friendly and our waiter was also kind and attentive. We shared the whipped feta, warm squash dip, Brussels sprouts, beets, falafel and avocado crispy rice. All of the dishes were tasty and beautiful, but I was most pleasantly surprised by the avocado crispy rice! The standout here is the whipped feta, which is better than other local restaurants. I'd come here again for the feta alone! ....Okay for the feta and maybe to try some of the meat/seafood preparations.

    Okay, this spot is it. Butcher & Bee in Nashville absolutely nailed that moody, vibey restaurant feel -- the kind where the lighting is just right, the music hits, and you instantly know you're in for a good time. It's definitely a hot spot (there's always a wait), but trust me, it's worth every minute. The food? Wow. I'm still thinking about those charred lion's mane mushrooms -- total flavor bomb. The squash dip with pumpkin and pomegranate seeds was next-level, especially with their unreal bread. Everything comes out course by course in small, shareable plates, which I love -- perfect for tasting everything without feeling like you overdid it. The Mediterranean-Indian fusion here just works. Every bite had layers of spice, texture, and flavor that kept me reaching for more. My falafels were crispy perfection, and I have to shout out their mocktail game -- so good! I really appreciate when a restaurant puts effort into their non-alcoholic options, and this one did not disappoint. Your bill comes tucked into a Nancy Drew book ! Loved that unexpected touch . Between the friendly staff, the beautiful decor, and the overall vibe, Butcher & Bee is officially on my must-visit-again list. If you're into moody aesthetics, shareable plates, and plant-based dishes that slap, this place is your jam.

    I have been to butcher and bee twice now since my last visit. We ended up doing the chefs selection which was a really nice way to put your trust in someone else to course out your meal. If its your first time at Butcher and Bee I would recommend doing this to figure out what style of food you like. As always, I love the support they show their employees and I enjoy knowing where my food is coming from especially since it is locally sourced. I know their menu changes seasonally (which is great because then we have more food to try), so I wont go too into detail but our mains were great! Service was on par. We got a two seater by the kitchen for one meal and then next time I went all three of us sat at the bar. I kinda liked sitting at the bar because we got to talk to the bartender.

    The interior is absolutely stunning, it's dark but beautiful. We sat in the outdoor patio which was also beautiful and felt like a magical back garden. Our servers were so kind and friendly, they walked us through the menu, asked about allergies (we had 1 dairy free and 1 vegetarian) and then suggested dishes based on that. They were incredibly accommodating. I will say the food took its time to come out, towards the end we were tired of waiting lol. We ordered dishes family style, here's the breakdown -- Whipped feta (came with pita): rich, creamy with super soft pita. loved the honey drizzled on top! Warm squash dip: SO delicious. sweet, slightly spicy and so yummy with the crispy pita! my whole group was raving about this one we loved it. Spice it up: delicious! glad we ordered as we dipped pita in this + the dips. 3 diff shaves and actually spicy. Potato latkes: these were okay. they were a bit bland and kind of heavy. could've done without. Avocado crispy rice w/ chicken on the side: love the texture of the crispy rice, this is very different and the flavors were tangy! it was a bit salty for me and most of my group. chicken on the side was yummy (+ allowed us to accommodate our vegetarian person!) Mushroom shawarma: mushroom was chewy and smoky. the pita with labneh was refreshing (we were very full). didn't care for the freekeh that much. Banana crunch cake: this was on the house as we were celebrating my birthday! they brought it out with a candle which was so sweet. the dessert itself was SO GOOD. if you like bananas, definitely get this. it was sweet and salty. the base is a dense banana bread which i really liked but some of my friends wished it was more airy. Highly recommend (and def make a res)!

    Lamb Bourekas

    Just left this place. My meal was so delicious! I heard great things about it and had to try it before heading back to Chicago. Now, living in Chicago I am no stranger to delicious food. Equally, unfortunately I'm no stranger to what tastes awful. Lucky for me this was terrific!! This is where you want to eat! I wanted to try everything so I opted for the Chef's Choice, which is where they serve you staff favorites in little small servings per person. Service was excellent Bryce and Scott were awesome! I was served: The bacon wrapped date - Now hear me out, all bacon wrapped dates are good. This one? 10/10 The lamb bourekas - really great I was served two pieces so I stuffed one in my bag for later. Avocado Crispy Rice - crispy, flavorful, served with chicken that I didn't need. Otherwise this was terrific. Whipped feta - outstanding, cheesy unlike any feta you've ever had. Green Chickpea Falafel - decent a bit spicy I also had a kumquat cabbage mini salad dish with pomegranate and it was divine! One cocktail that was great the Woo Girl And for dessert I had the pumpkin pie Malabi smoked pecan dukkah. It was underwhelming because I'm a cake kinda girl but it was still flavorful.

    Butcher & Bee in Nashville is a delightful food spot that blends creativity with local ingredients. The menu showcases Mediterranean influences with a Southern flair. I highly recommend the whipped feta. Service at Butcher & Bee is hit or miss depending upon the waiter or waitress. Mine actually forgot my whole order. It is still worth the wait for delicious food.

    I've been here a couple of times now so I wanted to wait to give a review. The first time I went, I wasn't a huge fan of my dish, and that was my fault for not understanding the menu. However!! My most recent trip, everything was delicious. First, please do yourself a favor and add the spicy lamb sausage to your whipped feta. It's so so good. Also the cocktails are so good. I love trying new drinks when out and about, and these didn't disappoint. I suggest parking in the lot across the street from the front door. It's only a couple of bucks for a few hours, and way cheaper than the lot directly behind their building.

    This restaurant was awesome! It was recommended to us by a friend who lives in the area. The restaurant was not too loud despite being full! I recommend a reservation no matter when you go. The food was so fresh. There's plenty of items here to accommodate vegans and vegetarians. Our server was very nice. It's great to get a bunch of items and share them. The whipped feta is to die for! Also really enjoyed the carrot cake for dessert.

    What a ln impressive place!! Delicious food and wonderful ambiance. There was a delay in getting some of our food, but they were highly apologetic about it, without our having to ask or bring it up. Every bite, though!!! So yummy!

    Man this place continues to excel. We brought a friend who is visiting from out of town and it was the best choice. The squash was delicious, and the crispy rice was unlike anything I've ever had. My cavatelli pasta was phenomenal and I made everyone try a bite. We will always come back!

    Came in with coworkers and glad I decided to come out. It's a very cute vibe the aesthetic is very inviting. They have inside and outside that is covered partially and heated. It's like tapas style few large dishes. We tried the dates, whipped feta, puffed rice and avocado. Just try it all it's good even the mocktails. If you don't like something on the menu not sure wha to say. The staff very nice and friendly and everyone is helping out. I will return on my next trip to Nashville.

    Embered peas, Avocado Crispy Rice and Shawarma Chicken
    Bob S.

    I love to dine at restaurants that have won a James Beard Chef award, as well as those that have been finalists and semi-finalists. It's a great way to find the best restaurants in major cities. A few years ago, I dined at the original Butcher & Bee in Charleston. We had an amazing dining experience and were excited for them to be a finalist in 2022 James Beard Best Chef in the Southeast competition (which they did not win). As I was in Nashville for the weekend, I wanted to check out the Nashville restaurant to see how its Mediterranean cuisine stacked up to my memories from Charleston. I like to sit at the chef's table, to get a ring-side seat on what goes on in a major restaurant's kitchen. I'm amazed how cooks keep their focus and pace with oak wood grilling on an open fire. It's also hot for the patrons sitting at the chef's table. As a result, I drank a ton of water during our meal. In reading the reviews on Yelp, the Whipped Feta is a crowd pleasurer and sure starter selection. And it checked all the boxes for us. From the Small Plate section, we ordered the Embered Peas, which featured charred English and sugar snap peas. It was incredibly unique and flavorful. Our server told us the Avocado Crispy Rice was a house specialty in the Larger Plates. It's a great combination of textures and flavors, with the avocado adding richness and coolness. We added some Shawarma Chicken for protein and some kick. Several reviewers had praised the carrots. I'm uncertain whether that's the current version, or maybe something different in the past. I've had some amazing carrots at chef-driven restaurants. Butcher & Bee serves al dente carrots, which means they are cooked until they are still slightly firm, but not mushy. I'll say for our tastes, the carrots were too firm and not enjoyable. For dessert, we ordered the Raspberry Pavlova with earl grey ice cream and brownie bites. It was a yummy way to cool our palates after eating some spicy food. One thing I missed on the menu is right at the top - Order Like a Pro. For $56 at dinner, you get a sampling of the best items on the menu. That might have been a better option than what we selected ala carte.

    We came again for brunch and let me say it was also fantastic. Every bite was so flavorful. The crispy potatoes served with the breakfast sandwich were some of the best I've ever had. I had the Hummus bowl which has the silkiest hummus you've ever seen. The pitas are amazingly fluffy. We will be back!

    I'm going to start this review saying the gumbo I had at The Southern Steak & Oyster was the best…read moregumbo I had in my life! It's my last night in Nashville so I want to go to a bang zoom restaurant. A few of my co workers have said to me: Mr Bill, we see every night you're going out to some amazing spots. Mind if we tag along? Sure, the rules are to keep your fork outta my plate when we sit down. Deal? The restaurant is very large, we're shown to our table. Set in the middle of the dining room and facing the bar. The bar can seat at least 25 people, the restaurant is set up for fun. To get our party started, I ordered a well crafted cocktail: Tea'd Up Old Fashioned Made with Bourbon, Black Tea and House Barrel Aged Bitters. Funky?? Oh yeah I'm with a bunch of Military Veterans and they're telling me their crazy stories. I'm sippin' my Old Fashioned and taking it all in, we need to bond over drinks and crazy things we all drank overseas. As an adult, I can appreciate my Nashville TN Old Fashioned with Black Tea. While we're talking, our waitress drops off a plate of homemade biscuits. The biscuits are fire! Buttery, flakey and moist, The Southern Steak & Oyster can make a damn good biscuit. Next, my Gumbo comes to me. The first taste I can tell this is a chef'd up dish. Better than anything I had in New Orleans. This gumbo is filled with Andouille, Crawfish, Shrimp and Fried Okra. Very flavorful indeed. My last entree in Nashville will be Fish 'N Grits. Fresh fish topped with Spicy Tasso Ham over Sweet Potato Grits and Bacon Braised Cabbage. This is a flavorful dish, the grits are very creamy and the cook on the fish was spot on. We had a great night at The Southern Steak & Oyster, it was a pleasure to dine at your restaurant.

On one visit with only a few of us there our bartender disappeared for a good 20 minutes. Upon his return he was focused on everything but the 5 of us in the place until we finally had to ask to get service. The other visit everyone helped me but the actual server. Maybe this is a staffing problem, I don't know but being stuck for 20 minutes to order another drink with my meal is not acceptable. Although they had that check in my hand in under a minute and in under another minute to process. Again, super nicer people, but kind of oblivious. 2) Now let's talk about the kitchen. And I'm adding some input from the other diners because we all sat there waiting. - flavors are great, but the salt and spice level is overboard. I had the mushroom appetizer and nearly choked/coughed to death. I like heat but this was raw spice that overpowered the dish. And the salt about made my feet swell into balloons. Such a shame because the idea is great just poor execution - deviled eggs. Pass - BBQ Shrimp, sort of like the mushrooms right profile but overpowering - gumbo. Two other people had the gumbo and when I asked they said that too is just over spiced I want to like this place, but probably my last visit unless I just come for oysters. Sorry

This place was a wonderful little experience. We were greeted with the sign outside, "Enter as Strangers and Leave as Friends," which is one of my life philosophies. We got there right at opening, so we got seated first along with one of their years-long regulars. A friendly local lady who provided us with pleasant conversation until the next patrons arrived, who were seated right next to us at the same table, family style. Then the next people, then the next. Sitting, talking, passing the food around the table. It was a nice experience. And the ambiance was nice, too. Plain, wooden chairs, white tile flooring, vintage holiday decor, it was like being in a grandma's house. Very comforting. The food came out one or two dishes at a time. Everything was good enough, but it also was apparent that it was mass produced in a catering style. The basics like the bacon and ham were very good, but the fried chicken, I wouldn't take a big piece, save your stomach room for other things. Whatever other things you grab, make sure you grab a biscuit and get ahold of their homemade peach preserves. That stuff was 10/10 excellent. It's so good, they jar it and sell it at the front desk. I totally recommend. Overall, breakfast is one of the most important meal of the day, so if you find yourself in Nashville, I would implore you to come and check out this city staple of over 30 years now.

The biscuits were overly salty and not something I wanted to finish. The cold shrimp with blood orange was an interesting combo that I surprisingly liked. I ordered the steak and while it was cooked perfectly, the portion felt small for the price. It also came with broccolini and a really good sauce. Although our bartender/server was super attentive and friendly, it did take a very long time for our entrées to come out. He even had to go check on them and ended up bringing the food back themselves. Unfortunately, mine was honestly a little lukewarm. Overall, it was just mid for me.

    If I could give this place 100 stars I would…read more I frequent this place regularly. It's always amazing, authentic southern style food. But what makes this place so special is the people. The Arnold's put so much love and care into their place, you can't help but feel like one of them. I brought my mom, dad, aunt, and uncle here. My dad loves grouper and when I saw fried grouper on the menu I knew he had to try it. Only problem was they served it on Tuesday and he wouldn't get in until Thursday. Cut to my insane ass showing up and asking them if they could please serve it on that specific Thursday because my dad wanted to try it but he wouldn't get in on time and I wanted to make his trip special because I am truly a daddy's girl and he's my fav bestie right now. Yes I rambled all of that at them in one breath, I am a a talkative lil broad. They not only made my crazy special day fried grouper happen, but made a special point of dropping by the table to welcome my family to Nashville and extend well wishes on us. Okay so now that I've established that the Arnold's are such warm and loving people I can talk about the food. Oh my god the food. I got the roast beef, which is basically prime rib and can be drowned in au jus that I would drink straight from a cup, it's a divine nectar of the gods. We got almost every single side and loved every single side. I'm obsessed with fried green tomatoes so those were my star side, but my mother loved the greens and my dad loved the corn. Do not miss the bread pudding it is like a hug from your tastebuds to your brain. If you're like oh I don't like bread pudding I don't care shut up and order it it's that good it will convert you. I love you guys. I appreciate y'all so much. I'll see you soon I need more bread pudding. I was trying to be a skinny bitch to bamboozle a man to fall in love with me but unfortunately I'm about to have a bread pudding summer so that will not be happening and I am a okay with that because that bread pudding loves and treats me better more than any man ever could.

Such a classic comfort food spot with a super friendly server and an easy setup where you get in line, grab your food, then find a table. The fried fish was honestly the star. Perfectly crispy on the outside while still soft and flaky inside. So satisfying. The fried pork chop was a little dry for my taste, but all the sides were delicious and made up for it. The mac and cheese especially was sooo good. Overall, really comforting Southern food with a welcoming atmosphere and definitely worth trying if you want a more authentic Nashville experience.

Food was totally delicious, every dish we were served was wonderful! 10 stars for everything from attentive and kind staff, food and ambiance, delivering the ideal rehearsal dinner for our family.

Famous for not having a sign, finding it may be part of the adventure, but once you do, everything else is effortless. Parking is simple--just pull up and valet takes care of the rest. With a reservation, we walked right in with no wait. The most difficult part of the evening was deciding what to order because the menu offers so many tempting choices. I selected the Kvarøy Arctic Salmon, while my wife chose the Springer Mountain Farms All-Natural Chicken. Both dishes exceeded expectations. The salmon was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It rested on a bed of greens with a subtle lemon flavor that paired beautifully with the fish. The chicken was equally impressive--moist, tender, and packed with flavor. What stood out most was the incredible smoky aroma that hit before each bite, making it even more irresistible. For dessert, the Blackberry Lemon Bread Pudding was the perfect finish. Soft, warm, and bursting with flavor, it was a standout ending to an already exceptional meal. From the outstanding food to the attentive service, Urban Grub delivered a fantastic dining experience. Make a reservation, enjoy the meal, and see if you can find the place.

The small signage made it a little difficult to find inside the Marriott (see pictures), but from the moment we walked in, heard the live piano player and saw the dining area - we knew this would be a great experience. We started off by sharing orders of Lobster Bisque (see picture) and Burrata with Toast (see pictures). We really enjoyed both of them - the Lobster Bisque was so creamy and smooth and the Burrata was cool, fresh and clean. They were a great combination to start our dinner experience and I would recommend both of them. Since it was a Friday during lent, my wife opted for the BBQ Shrimp Pasta (see picture) and I went with the Daily Fish Special on Blue Corn Grits (see picture). As we always do when we go out, we shared our plates and really enjoyed both of them. The BBQ Shrimp Pasta was rich, buttery and smooth and the Fish Special was a tasty white, flaky and blackened fish served on a bed of rich, creamy blue corn grits. Here again, both are highly recommended. While it is one of your more expensive area stops for dinner, you will appreciate the food quality and presentation at Gannons Nashville for your next special occasion.

I've always heard Nashville hot chicken just isn't the same back in California, so since I was finally here I knew I had to try it and wow, totally worth it. My husband and I both loved everything. The chicken was super flavorful, juicy, easy to eat, and definitely not dry at all. You can tell why this place is so popular. I'd 100% come back again whenever we're in town. The service was also amazing! The lady at the register was so sweet and welcoming, and honestly the whole place just has such a fun vibe to it. If you're visiting Nashville or even local, definitely give this spot a try. Thank you Hattie B's for such a great first Nashville hot chicken experience!

I ordered 3 piece whole wings, with 2 sides. Baked beans and southern greens. I ordered the peach cobbler à la mode and was happy the cashier recommended I pay first and they would bring it out when I was ready to eat it. - she did just that, without my prompting. I ordered the spice level HOT and it was good and spicy. If you don't like spice, get the medium spice level. The sweet tea and the in house made lemonade tasted awesome. I refilled 3 times... but also because they had the best ice My friend had the tenders and said they were very good as well along with the banana pudding! The resturant was clean and accommodates large groups as well. I did not like the baked beans but my friend did so they did not go to waste.
