Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in West End

Outstanding! One of the best meals we have ever had! Each dish was elevated to another level and was the best we have had of its kind (eg gnocchi, crispy brussels, cornbread, roast chicken, flourless chocolate cake with brown butter gelato). Wonderful service. Great atmosphere. We will recommend and return when in Nashville again!

Best meal we’ve had in Nashville! Have heard great things and we weren’t disappointed. Terrific service and food. A tad on the pricey side considering the size of the dish but that’s the only negative. 10/10 recommend.

We had a party of 4, sat outside in the heated patio. Very comfortable and cozy. 2 of us got the shrimp and grits. Savory sauce, really good. My husband got the scallops. He enjoyed them, good flavor but there were only 3 scallops. Would go back.

Mockingbird is always a charming experience. Our most recent trip was on Valentines Day. The table had a live flame tea light and rose petals on it. My only complaint was that our server was taking care of a large table of older women that kept him busy and not as attentive to us as I would’ve liked. Appetizer didn’t come before the food but I didn’t dock the rating for that for reasons already stated. Food was excellent- we got Pasta La Vista, Tatchos, and Bulgogi Hanger Steak and they were all fantastic. The ambience is perfect - dimly lit and well decorated. We will be back.

It was Valentine's Day - nevertheless we were seated immediately but never with the sense we were being rushed to make way for the crowd. The food was excellent and inventive - the valet had our car in no time and it made a day that is often perfunctory fell special.
