Best Restaurants for Foodies in East Nashville

Oh my, Kace! Everything about this experience was so perfectly executed. The food was incredible from the first to the last bite. The ambiance felt transformative. The service from the ENTIRE staff was top notch. The music was just what we wanted. I look forward to many more visits to this place!

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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wife and I traveled to celebrate her birthday, and I decided to make reservations at Peninsula. Let me say I am glad I chose this place! Excellent service from the hostess and our waiter. we ordered 5 dishes to try, and everything was fresh and exciting. Intimate feeling within the restaurant itself with limited seating. Seemed all the waiters were busy checking on guests and taking care of everyone, nobody sitting on their phones. They explained every dish as they brought it out. They arrived quite quickly as well. We did not have to worry about anything. 100% recommend this experience and we will definitely be back at some point!

Our family group of four ate here for the first time while celebrating my mother's 91st birthday. The food and service were superb. Our dinner choices included Pelato Salad, Panelle, Radiatori Vodka, Chicken Parmigiana, Creamy Spinach, Polenta Bolognese, Roasted Mushrooms and Chicken Saltimbocca. My wife requires gluten-free options and the menu was very clear about that, although it was easy to lose track of those choices after the dishes arrived. Our server, Cayli, was outstanding in every way. She manages to be both friendly and effective - a real professional. Both the manager and owner visited our table; a nice touch. Highly recommended.

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!
