Best Restaurants for Foodies in Nashville

We have been to Adele‘s several times. This time we were celebrating two birthdays. The appetizers and main dishes were all excellent. Callouts to the cornbread and smoked duck leg. We all had drinks and the bartenders did a truly professional job as always. The budino dessert is absolutely worth the certain inch it adds to your waist line.  Overall, kudos to Adele‘s for their maintenance of quality through the years. We will definitely be back!

My all time favorite restaurant. Love the atmosphere and the staff is amazing!

Too write a review every time I go there seems redundant but it just seems to be better every time I do! Christi my server is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. There is nothing she can’t tell you about the menu and Michael the manager is just so sweet. Dibril the bartender is super great. I love going here as I know I will have a great time, great food and service. Thanks for another great evening!!

This place never disappoints, from the young gentleman at the host stand, to the owner, to the servers, and of course, to the food. Order ANYTHING and you’ll be satisfied, but standouts are: Either of the soups, any mezze, and the Epice salad. I’ve been a customer since day one and I’ve never had anything less than a great experience!

All the food was impeccably fresh and the presentation superb. I was entertaining guests who had just arrived from Sweden. We got one of everything and the delivery pace was excellent. Flatware was proffered and removed for each plate. We got a beautiful set of hand carved spoons that were stunning to look at but about as useful as poker chips on skewers. (Milk?) bread was perfection. Scallop crudo was visually perfect but so subtle as to taste merely of heavy cream on sushi. The beef tartare very well done (had freeze dried capers instead of jar brined). Again subtle. (“Nashville”) hot swordfish is a cute knockoff of the chicken dish but was oily in spite of being cooked to a perfect 140°. The snapper/grouper jaw on the other hand was not quite firm yet probably because of the complex bone structure blocking some of the heat. But the outside sear flavorful. Great effort by the staff but I was left wanting a little bolder flavor profile for the expense.
