Best Seasonal Restaurants in The Nations / Village West

Just a grand evening celebrating our son’s birthday. Started with a Music City roll. Excellent. Then salads and steaks. Piano music was a great background. A bit pricey, but I’m sure that is standard for downtown Nashville.

Skyler was awesome per SOP! She is the quintessential waitress! We split a ceasar salad, and our mains; Dover sole and salmon were both delicious. The crab fried rice did not disappoint once again. Overall a great dining experience prior to the Mariah Carey concert.

With all of the new restaurants opening in Nashville, we hadn't been to Henrietta Red in a couple of years. I was reminded last night on what delicious and uniquely inventive dishes they offer. The beet salad had layered flavors, as did the amazing chicken liver pate, served with wood-fired bread. The gem salad was fresh, crisp and had a thick, flavorful caesar dressing with crunchy bits of toast--amazing. The fried eggplant had a nice light and spicy crust, and the juicy eggplant interior burst in your mouth on the first bite--a sensation worth trying. The spaghetti with grilled veggies and ancho-chili oil--how brilliant and tasty. We plan to go back more often--still one of the top restaurants in Nashville!! Easy to park too! Friendly and courteous staff.

Pinewood Social is amazing! It’s a beautiful building and great atmosphere. The cuban coffee is incredible. We ordered the salmon benedict and the fried chicken biscuit. Absolutely delicious! The breakfast potatoes are out of this world! Definitely recommend!

Amber was a wonderful server! Very knowledgable about the menu and gave us insightful recommendations. She also went out of her way to make my friends birthday special and that was a wonderful touch. Thank you! We will be back the next time we’re in town.
