Best Restaurants for Foodies in Belle Meade

I love this restaurant. It is the normal go to with friends. I couldn’t be happier with anything. The food, atmosphere, service, impeccable. What more can I say to use up 150 characters?

One of our favorite eclectic restaurants. The food is always delicious and innovative. The staff is friendly and attentive. The staff will provide a sense of a welcoming community. A local treasure.

Every dish was truly delicious and presented beautifully. Our server was attentive to just the right level. Ingredients were very fresh and allowed to shine. Highly recommended.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday here today. We had the seafood all you can eat brunch. It was an ex extraordinary meal. Everything was fresh and delicious and we had more than we could eat. Was wonderful ambience and they even gave my wife some birthday chocolates. Five stars all around. I really appreciate the free valet as well.

My partner and I have been wanting to go to Locust for years, and finally for his birthday we made it happen. “Unreasonable Hospitality” this, The Bear that…this was everything and more. The experience made you truly feel like you were apart of the family, the friend group, the “in” crowd. Yes, an elevated meal, but one that was likewise comfortable, casual, and full of that warm, home cooked meal feeling. Too Much Caviar is…too much caviar. But so much fun to taste with every part of the meal. The bread just melts in your mouth, the butter is divine, and all with a Toki Highball was perfect. Razor clams on the house that were truly something I have never tasted before in my life. DIY beef tartare rolls along with amazing Tuna hand rolls, followed by abalone risotto and some shaved iced for a last hurrah. Just spectacular. And all the while, the staff is so attentive and helpful, while also being equal to one another; waitstaff, chefs, maître d, all visited to chat and mingle interchangeably. This restaurant is such a well-oiled machine that the guests truly are swept into another world— not one of four different spoons and white tablecloths, but one where a staff member stops by to talk about the Bad Nerves song he queued, a small dish on the house after making a connection in the Nashville food world, and where the team all shouts “Happy Birthday!” as you leave. Perfect strangers made family for an hour or two. Not feigned, pretend: made.
