I am going to go a bit contrary to the reviews I have seen on Tantisimo. I did not think it was…read morebad, but I also don't see the hype. There were some things that stood out, but most that did not. I welcome comments on what I should focus on for a future trip, as I am always willing to go from "this is average" to "this is outstanding" if I just did not hit the right notes. Tl;DR - Dessert was the star of the show This came recommended by a guy I recommended Kosho to. He came back with a glowing review of Kosho, so I figured his recommendation of Tantisimo as the best restaurant in Nashville might stick. Perhaps I should add this up to a night that was not hitting on all cylinders? Or perhaps our taste buds were not in line with the crowd here. As such, I find this average with some high notes. Yes, I know most people consider 3 stars to be bad, but to me it was just average. YMMV This was a last minute decision and I was able to find a spot in their parking lot when I drove up. This is a kind of luck I seem to have, but would gladly give up for winning a huge lottery. LOL. Seemed like a great sign. Coming in, the place is small, but definitely builds up the vibe they are going for, which is like a small, upscale cantina. Kudos. Nicely bound cocktail, beer, wine, and liquor list. Kudos. Trisha greeted and was able to lead us to drinks. Kudos again. I got the Much Fashioned, which was like a Latin old fashioned, which uses Belle Meade bourbon, piloncillo, and aztec bitters. Very nicely done cocktail. As it was later, we went more with smaller plates: bolillo bread, pan de bueno, yuca encebollada, crudo, and shrimp skewers. The pan de bueno was a bit like Brazilian Pão de Queijo only less cheesy in execution. The Bolillo bread was more interesting with the chorizo butter. The star of the starches was the yuca encebollada with mushrooms and scallions. The Yellowfin crudo was interesting with the strawberry, which added a nice touch. The fried planatin strips added a nice visual. The shrimp were overly salty and a bit overcooked. We ended with dessert. The CU|FLan was excellent. And extremely well executed flan. I got the carjillo, which reminded me a bit of an espresso with a nice hint of vanilla. I would go back for dessert and drinks, for sure. I am torn on the meal and would love to have any recommendations of what items I did not have I should consider on a future trip.

Overall Experience Boqueria had been on my list to try for a…read morewhile, so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the food had potential, but the overall experience wasnot great. Food-We started with the bacon-wrapped dates, which were delicious with a nice balance of salty, savory, and sweet. The potatoes were also really good--crispy and served with a flavorful aioli. The ham croquettes were decent, but a little heavy, and I wish they had more meat. Service & Wait Time The biggest issue was the long wait for the vegetable paella. We waited about 45 minutes, and by the time it arrived, I was too hungry to even take a picture. I also wish the food had come out closer together instead of having such a long gap between dishes. To their credit, the paella was comped because of the wait. Also as big as the restaurant they put a group of 8 people where there are boots for couples which made it impossible to hear my partner. Cleanliness/cockroach Unfortunately, we also saw a cockroach during our visit, which made it difficult to feel comfortable and fully enjoy the meal. It was crawling by the seat on the bench. Parking Tip-If you visit, make sure to ask about the 2-hour parking validation before you leave. Since the paella took so long, the timing felt tight with the validation window. Final Thoughts-While there were a few dishes we enjoyed, the long wait and cleanliness concern really affected the overall experience. I'm not sure I would recommend this restaurant or comeback.

The answer is...the answer. Eric R. randomly selected Answer on a list of restaurants we scrolled…read morethrough to make a reservation for on our first night in Nashville this week. It is tucked in a neighborhood in the West End, and most people were surprised we found it or had heard of it as non-locals. It is a very popular spot. We arrived 20 minutes early and snagged the last parking spot in the lot behind the restaurant. Eric R. wanted to sit outside, so we were directed to wait at the bar until a table opened up. I got the cucumber sage yuzu spritz mocktail, and Eric R. got a local amber beer. Our table was ready within 10 or 15 minutes, so we migrated to it for dinner. Our server was helpful in providing recommendations. We started with three shareables: the mussels in lemongrass serrano beer broth and grilled bread, tempura long-stemmed artichokes on Calabrian chile mascarpone, and the lamb lollipops with pearled cous cous. I tasted the lamb, and it was heavenly, like melt-in-your-mouth tender but with a lot of caramelization. That was really Eric R.'s choice so I let him eat the majority of it. I really enjoyed the mussels and the artichokes! Everything was hot and delicious. I was sipping broth with a mussel shell when the bread ran out, and the host came out with more bread for us! It was so good. We asked to see a dessert menu. Eric R. had a tough choice between carrot cake and blondie with caramel ice cream, but was steered toward the blondie and did not regret it. I asked what the house made ice cream was for the day, and it was coconut matcha with a white chocolate shell topping. That sounded so perfect, and it was AMAZING. The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was lovely, the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious! That is the answer!

HEADS-UP the happy hour menu is bar-top only, so plan accordingly if you're going specifically for those deals. Limited seating available. Happy Hour & Spice Level I had the happy hour cocktail it was bourbon, lemon and honey. The food was flavorful overall, but I do wish the menu clearly noted which items are spicy. Most of the happy hour dishes seemed to have some kind of chili oil or heat element. That may be great for people who enjoy spice, but it would be helpful to know ahead of time, especially if you're sensitive to heat. For dessert, we always come back for the chocolate panna cotta with graham cracker crumble and burnt marshmallow, which was a nice sweet finish. This one is a must! To put this into next level I recommend adding the pretzel bites instead of graham cracker and a few salted flakes. We also tried the almond butter cornbread with blackberry, but I would avoid it. It was pretty dry and didn't have enough balance. The manager? Said it was a new item they were trying. I think it would be much better with ice cream or a salted caramel sauce to add moisture and richness. It was dry even when I mentioned it they didn't comp it we only had a bite and immediately decided it wasn't worth it. Final Thoughts Overall, Answer is a nice spot with a great happy hour, but clearer spice notes on the menu and a few tweaks to the dessert options would make the experience better. If you are seating by the bar it gets loud I wish the bartender doesn't just throw the drinks/plates so aggressively that it clanks. Also this place gets loud definitely not a lot for sound to absorb.

Chef Jake Howell delivers a modernly creative and fun menu in a cozy setting for a truly special…read moredining experience at Peninsula. A friend who knows this spot well reserved a table for 2 on a Thursday night and I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived. Each dish is thoughtfully presented with fresh table settings between courses. The menu descriptions depict the basic concept of a dish, but there are always surprises in the flavor combinations, textures, or unique preparation of otherwise common ingredients that keep you guessing from first sip to last bite. I ordered the cold brew tonic mocktail which was perfectly balanced with a tonic forward bold yet smooth flavor. The beet is presented in a spiral of ribbons and tastes mildly spicy from the habanero. The endive was one of my favorite dishes of the night. The onions and creamy foam join the crunchy endive to form the perfect bite. The scallop was tender, sweet, floral, and never ending due to its enormous size! The chewy rice cakes and broth were the comfort food I didn't know I needed The octopus was oh-so-crispy and served with an addicting sauce. The marzipan donut was delightfully chewy, salty, and sweet while the salted raspberry was tart but balanced by the white chocolate cream and sugary flakes of crispy nori. Ordering both desserts was not a mistake and I will probably repeat this decision when I inevitably come back! I was told the sauce served with the octopus has recently changed. I can't wait to see what else the chef has up his sleeve on future iterations of this ever evolving menu.
