Best Casual Restaurants in East Nashville

We came to Nashville to celebrate my 60th. The service was excellent and the food was excellent. Fun time!!

Sinatra’s was suggested to me by a friend and she did not steer me wrong. The food and drinks were fantastic and the service was friendly and warm. This experience has made me a convert. Cannot wait to go again.

We were super excited to get a reservation at Noko because our friends (who are serious foodies and excellent home chefs) recommended Noko as their favorite restaurant. Noko did not disappoint! The welcome as we entered was warm and generous, they took my coat and hung it for me. : ) we had a small table in the dining room that was reserved, but opted to sit at the bar! It was fantastic! Our bartender Jena was super knowledgeable and so kind. She had many diners at the bar and took great care to engage with everyone. We started with sake and beer, a very interesting sake selection, and had spicy tuna crispy rice & hamachi crudo to start both so flavorful and delicious, then moved on with burnt ends with lettuce both of us LOVED this dish and really enjoyed the delicate crab fried rice! We had the Caesar salad which we shared but could have had my own it was so tasty! Our meal was so delightful we didn’t save room for dessert! We might try to go back tonight for dessert to try the coconut cake with wood fired pineapple or the brookie with Chocolate brownie, black sesame cookie, miso caramel, vanilla gelato! Our only missed opportunity due to dining so late is we missed the dumplings!! No doubt they are as fantastic as all the dishes we tried! Make a reservation ASAP, the food, drinks and staff are⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Might I add that we went to a distillery recommended by Jenna and ran into another couple that was seated at the bar too!! Great recommendation, thank you Jenna! You nailed it!

Service was amazing. I wish I could remember our waitress’s name so bad. Seems like a very nice establishment. My wife and I were completely shocked that the restaurant was essentially empty at 9pm on a Friday. Get the Fried Chicken.

Our experience was deeelightfullll! From our server Paige, to the fantastic food (the chicken confit and meatloaf) the killer drinks (Jane’s old fashioned) and the music! We loved every bit of this evening!❤️💚🌲 Don’t miss out!
