    Half eaten cod & chips
    Lisa T.

    I liked several things about today's visit to Red Perch: Easy and free 2 hour parking in lot behind restaurant, Very friendly and knowledgeable hostess, Tried the Bearded Iris Homestyle canned beer..very good, Spot on lightly breaded cod & crispy chips with tartar sauce... excellent! Perhaps a tad pricey for lunch but so tasty. I will definitely return to try other menu items

    Visited Red Perch for the first time. It's open seating and you order at the counter first. Sadly, a baby spider decided to join my table. Their fish (other than cod) changes daily so it's nice to know is fresh. I had the fish of the day and it was flounder. I enjoyed the meal overall but it became too salty toward the end. They have beer options and Jack Daniel's but not a full bar.

    Cod and Chips
    David L.

    Cute little place with a small menu and minimal seating, but big personality and a welcoming and friendly staff. We tried both the Cod and Chips and Barramundi and Chips. Both were good, but our preference was the Barramundi, which was more moist and flavorful. Maybe we're a bit spoiled coming from New England, where we have fantastic cod and Irish beer battered fish - it was good, but our hopes and expectations were high given the glowing reviews. I loved the thick tartar sauce and all the options available to suit your preferences, such as malt vinegar, ketchup, hot sauce, etc. Given the portions and casual environment, prices seemed a tad high, but perhaps were reflective of the modern, higher end plaza the restaurant is located in.

    Fish of the Day and Chips (Barramundi)
    Parker S.

    This place is amazing. The service was outstanding, both from the guy manning the counter and the chefs being super nice when we walked in. The inside isn't anything to write home about, but it's pretty cool with plants and modern aesthetic. The food though was like being transported to a beachfront restaurant. The food: We tried the fish & chips (cod) and the "Special of the day" fish and chips (Barramundi, aka sea bass). The cod was delicious and a big chunk! The special fish was buttery and even better than the cod. The fries are fried to perfection and the tartar sauce was probably the best I've ever had. Cant really see a reason not to come enjoy this unless you want a very upscale dinner. A hidden gem of the few casual seafood places in Nashville. Highly recommend!

    Double cheeseburger and chicken katsu tacos
    Robinson N.

    Had the chicken katsu tacos and double cheeseburger and I was not disappointed. The vegetable in the tacos were refreshing and crispy. The service was excellent and we'll definitely be back to try the seafood because they looked delicious!

    During a recent visit to Nashville, found a nice place to have lunch. Located off of Charlotte Ave. and amongst other local eateries, Red Perch is on the front of the complex. Parking is at the rear of the complex and a bit of a walk. The inside of restaurant is on the small side with just three tables and with counter seating as well as seating outside. You're greeted by the Australian owner and he points out the chalkboard on one end of the counter to order from. I ordered the Katsu Chicken tacos and a soft drink and my buddy order the cod and chips. We were lucky enough to get an open table before another customer walked in. Our food was prepared in the fryer and prep table in view of customers and was served within 15 minutes. My order came with 3 large soft tacos with a large piece of fried chicken that was sauced with a sweetened sauce but wasn't too heavy. It was topped with a heaping helping of chopped veggies. The taco had a nice contrast in texture and flavor with the crunch of the fried chicken, the veggies, and the soft taco. The meal was filling but wasn't heavy and was very satisfying. The staff is friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. I'd recommend others to try the food as well as beverages as they also serve alcoholic beverages. I would return again if I'm ever in Nashville again.

    Shrimp and chips

    Visited Red Perch for dinner a couple nights ago the food was very good but the overall ambiance and QSR feel just left me hanging. As well a little pricey for the portion size but n my mind. The service we had was good the food came out quick. All in all a good experience.

    Was going for a burger and saw Red Perch so a burger became fish. The restaurant is on the second level so look for a flight of stairs. The place has a few bars to sit at and a few tables inside as well. There are also a few on the patio. Beverages were limited to a few but there should be something for everybody. There is also a few beer choices. I neglected taking a pic of the menu; shame on me. First we ordered hummus which was delicious. For the fish one of us had the cod and two had the fish of the day which was flounder. The fries are hand cut daily. It was refreshing to have fish and chips that were not greasy. I would eat at the Red Perch again for sure.

    Lumpia
    Courtney C.

    The food was very good! The breading on the cod was very light and fluffy. I really enjoyed the lumpia with the sweet chili sauce. I would definitely order that again. Food came out pretty quick and was an overall good experience.

    Market catch salmon with rice (salad not shown)
    Jason C.

    Long overdue review but this is consistently the best fish & chips ever! I even went to Honolulu & had fish & chips & I still think this is better. Fish is fried perfectly every single time regardless of the type of fish. I've had the cod, rockfish, & the flounder here. The fish is light & crispy on the outside & soft, flaky, & moist on the inside. Fries are perfection as well. Happy hour 2-5:30pm M-F! Great deals on fish & chips & a pint. Parking is easy in the Sylvan Supply lot (they've just started charging for parking recently but you get 2 hours free). Keep in mind seating is very limited so definitely would be harder if you're trying to meet with a larger party. Love the outdoor seating on a nice day though! Staff is also always very friendly, welcoming & helpful! 10/5 stars.

    Shrimp Taco
    Mike H.

    Have seen this place every time I pass Sylvan Supply on Charlotte Abe. Definitely worth stopping in! They have a fantastic happy hour Monday through Friday 2-5:30PM. 3 meal options $12-13 and discounted beer for $3 or wine for $5. The shrimp tacos (3) and a pint for $12 was such great value. Definitely want to go back and try more of the menu.

    This was our first time eating here. We drove to Nashville just to try this seafood restaurant after I came across a post on Instagram. I loved their decoration and the vibe here. Absolutely loved all of the dishes here. I am not a big fan of ahi poke bowl in general but I loved the ahi poke here. My number one favorite was the calamari. The owner was super sweet and friendly. He also gave us recommendation on some good restaurants in town. Definitely gonna go back if I am in town again.

    Fish filet
    Ellen O.

    In a word: YUM! I went here for the first time for lunch a few days ago. I got the filet sandwich with fries and it was just splendid. Every piece of the meal was delicious. I will definitely be back again! It is a smaller restaurant so I don't know if I would go during the height of weekend crowds, but for a weekday lunch it was perfect!

I ordered the 'Herb Roasted Chicken Caesar salad' which was Romaine, Crouton, Parmesan, Peppercorn Caesar Dressing. Surprisingly, not much flavor. It was a good portion, but rather bland. The service took some time and our waitress wasn't too friendly either. It was okay overall. I don't think I would be back (except maybe for those drinks!). I would give it a 3.5 if I could.
