Best Fine Dining Restaurants in East Nashville

Absolutely amazing! Excellent service, food was outstanding and entertainment was delightful. A must in Nashville!

Really nice restaurant. Excellent food and service. The decor and ambience definitely take you back to the “Rat Pack” days.

It’s hard to find a contemporary American restaurant that really raises the bar on creativity, innovation, flavor, and service, but the Pelican & Pig provides on every front. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Our server gave us great recommendations on food and drink; he was attentive but not intrusive. We’re pretty selective about where we spend our date night budget, and we will definitely be coming back. The cook on the steak was so perfect that we’ve brought it up multiple times since last night. Strongly recommend the phyllo dough app; sweet potatoes; broccolini; and the strip steak.

So glad that we finally tried this place. After a lot of "meh" meals in Nashville over the past 5 or so years (soooo many steak houses doing the same thing), it was refreshing to see a place getting it right. For us, this is exactly what dining should be: personable and fun with well executed food and good pricing. I wouldn't call it cheap, but you get what you pay for, which is all anyone should expect. They aren't trying to be gimmicky or too hip. They are just doing what they do well. This is in our rotation now, along with Lyra, Yolan, Carne Mare and Bella Napoli...all places that do what they do extremely well without trying to be everything to everyone.

We had a great time bowling and then had lunch. The food was great! Even better was our server, Ari. He was very attentive and helpful with accommodating our children. One of the best servers we have ever had.
