    Blondie with caramel ice cream
    Lisa R.

    The answer is...the answer. Eric R. randomly selected Answer on a list of restaurants we scrolled through to make a reservation for on our first night in Nashville this week. It is tucked in a neighborhood in the West End, and most people were surprised we found it or had heard of it as non-locals. It is a very popular spot. We arrived 20 minutes early and snagged the last parking spot in the lot behind the restaurant. Eric R. wanted to sit outside, so we were directed to wait at the bar until a table opened up. I got the cucumber sage yuzu spritz mocktail, and Eric R. got a local amber beer. Our table was ready within 10 or 15 minutes, so we migrated to it for dinner. Our server was helpful in providing recommendations. We started with three shareables: the mussels in lemongrass serrano beer broth and grilled bread, tempura long-stemmed artichokes on Calabrian chile mascarpone, and the lamb lollipops with pearled cous cous. I tasted the lamb, and it was heavenly, like melt-in-your-mouth tender but with a lot of caramelization. That was really Eric R.'s choice so I let him eat the majority of it. I really enjoyed the mussels and the artichokes! Everything was hot and delicious. I was sipping broth with a mussel shell when the bread ran out, and the host came out with more bread for us! It was so good. We asked to see a dessert menu. Eric R. had a tough choice between carrot cake and blondie with caramel ice cream, but was steered toward the blondie and did not regret it. I asked what the house made ice cream was for the day, and it was coconut matcha with a white chocolate shell topping. That sounded so perfect, and it was AMAZING. The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was lovely, the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious! That is the answer!

    Snapper special
    Karina A.

    Ok so, I was fully prepared to give a 4 star review because of how difficult it was for us to find parking (even the community center was full, we found 1 spot about a 10 minute walk away). However, I can't in good conscience do that, because this was a meal we will remember for a long time coming. I found answer just by chance on Resy, and decided to book it because the reviews were positive. We were blown away by the food. We started with the mushroom appetizer- so so delicious. I appreciated that it wasn't overly cheesy, and the leeks actually brought a lot to the dish. Next, we tried the special, which was a Thai curry snapper, and the hot chicken dish. My goodness were we unprepared for just how perfect and delicious these would be. I absolutely couldn't get enough of the peanut slaw paired with the chicken. My fiancé is pretty picky when it comes to fried chicken, and he said this was the 2nd best fried chicken he's ever had. The flavor of the curry was also very interesting- it was pineapple forward but also had a slight kick. Finally, the service was efficient, quick, and so friendly. We were seated right away, and the restaurant was lively but not too loud. I would definitely recommend a reservation, we went on a Thursday night and it was quite busy! However, it seems like they have a decent amount of bar seating available too. We're not local to Nashville, but we will definitely be back one day. Will also be recommending to everyone go try it!!

    The special
    Caroline B.

    The restaurant's atmosphere is lively and loud with a very spacious bar if you are just popping in. The portion sizes definitely don't disappoint, to the point that I think most of the entrees could be shared! The waitress was super helpful and service was very timely. All the ingredients felt super fresh and balanced

    Shrimp pasta
    Jennifer H.

    Ordered one of the specials, which was a shrimp pasta and it was delicious! Shrimp were cooked perfectly, flavor was great, and there was a slight kick to it. The appetizers we ordered were also pretty good - nothing crazy. We got the albóndigas, mozzarella and fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were my favorite of the 3! Atmosphere was also great, not too loud so that you couldn't have a conversation, but still lively. They have a small parking lot in the back but you can also park on the streets nearby.

    Hummus and chips
    Christina B.

    You can't beat the happy hour deals! $6 for drinks and select appetizers. I wish you could take advantage of the deals while sitting at the regular tables, but sitting at the bar is a vibe. The food is a great mix of contemporary American dining with some global twists. Parking can be tricky, but if you drive into the neighborhood you'll find something. A great place for date night or to catch up with a friend

    Dessert special
    Heather F.

    This is one of my favorite places for happy hour. I've been coming here for years, but happy hour is more popular than ever. This is a smaller, but comfortable, restaurant, so if you want a seat at the bar for happy hour, most days you need to be standing at the door before they open. Otherwise, you may have to wait or miss out. They have a different cocktail every week. The dishes are all delicious, and I typically try the dessert special. Parking is limited in the front & the back of the restaurant, so you may need to find parking on the street in the neighborhood. Outside of the happy hour menu, the fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and burger never fail. Love: hummus (tortillas always go well with it); asparagus (crispy)

    Sarah H.

    A fantastic happy hour! The atmosphere of this place is chic yet cozy and is the perfect vibe for happy hour. My friend and I arrived around 5:15 p.m., and there was a wait for the bar (the only spot where they serve happy hour). The host put us down on the list, and it took only maybe 10 minutes to be sat. Once we were sat the bartender immediately checked in on us, and we both ordered the mango margaritas. This drink is sweet without being syrupy with a delicious mango flavor. We split the shishito peppers, potatoes, and their tomato and goat cheese. The peppers had a nice char and were paired with a miso sauce that made it my favorite appetizer. The tomato goat cheese dip and potatoes were both good, but there was nothing special about them. I'll definitely be back for the peppers and drinks!

    11/10 stars. A really excellent restaurant in every way. While I haven't tried it for happy hour, I was told it gets very busy and has an excellent value. Our Xmas Eve dinner was fantastic! We were offered a lovely gift - a candle - on the way out.

    Wow wow and WOW. The food was truly off the chart, and the service and atmosphere match perfectly. And to boot the drinks are creative and yummy

    Tucked away off the beaten path in the Sylvan Park neighborhood sits this culinary gem! There's a parking lot behind the restaurant, along with plenty of free street parking. Everything we tried was absolutely scrumptious -- seasoned and flavored to perfection. For starters, we ordered mushrooms sautéed in lemon, pickled garlic, a creamy sauce, and leeks. Next came the panzanella salad -- not only tasty but also healthy -- full of kale, vibrant fruits and vegetables, and dressed with a house-made vinaigrette. The burger, topped with maple bacon, cheddar cheese, greens, and apple butter, was just as delicious as everything else. Service was attentive, and we sat on the patio, where each table had its own designated heater -- a cozy touch that made the evening even better. The wines were excellent and really brought everything together -- a well-rounded dining experience that definitely deserves five stars!

    Blondie
    Alex K.

    Great local neighborhood restaurant! Had a really great dinner here - but the desserts were the highlight of my night! This blondie with caramel ice cream was magical and I wish I could eat it every day!

    Halibut
    Sarah A.

    My time experience at answer was a solid one. The interior is cozy but was not cramped when at maximum capacity on a Thursday night. What we got: COCKTAILS -[gin] the aroma of the lemon and lavender made for a unique experience and tastier drink. -[vodka] cute and tasty, but forgettable. -[mezcal] the favorite of the night, moderate smoke, not for the weak. SHARABLE -[arancini] tender meat and well cooked rice, but the flavor was overpowered by the frying oil. -[tomato] I love the combination of tomato with lobster, but this dish was prepared a little on the acidic side and the fried breading on the tomato was overpowered by the frying oil like the arancini -[scallops] my favorite dish by far, the cold squash purée paired well with the perfectly seared scallops. ENTREES -[halibut] my husbands favorite. The fish was cooked perfectly and although the dish was well balanced with the mustard and broth, I don't prefer such a heavy red pepper flavor, compared to my husband. It was a date night so we only ordered as many dishes as 2 people could possibly split. The portions are large, so I would come back again with a group to try a larger variety of menu items!

    Sara K.

    I really enjoyed this place overall! They have a great happy hour that I'll definitely be back for! The food was tasty and filling. I will say I knocked one star off because I was just kinda confused about the cuisine - it was Italian, Asian, Mexican, etc which threw me off a bit haha but again overall tasty! Ambiance was nice! Very well decorated and lively, service was friendly and attentive. Will be back!

We started with the fried pickles and they were some of the best I've had. The dipping sauce wasn't your typical ranch (I forgot to ask what it was), but whatever magic they put in it worked it was absolutely delicious. Then we moved on to the burgers. We tried the Juicy Burger and it truly lives up to the name. Every single bite was worth it. I personally had the Jalapeño Burger and let me tell you... get ready for some heat. If you're not used to spicy food, this one might test your limits. But the flavor was incredible. You could really taste that the burger was grilled, and it gave it that perfect smoky, savory flavor that makes a great burger stand out. The drinks were also fantastic. They have a huge selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. I had one of their mezcal cocktails and it was bartender's kiss. I also tried a couple of their spirits and everything was on point. Another thing I really appreciated was the noise level. There's music playing, but it's not overwhelming, you can still actually have a conversation without yelling across the table. That's always a win. They also have a nice outdoor patio if you want to sit outside. We went during the week, so it was lively but comfortable. I can only imagine this place really gets going on the weekends. If you're in town and looking for amazing food, great drinks, and a cool atmosphere, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

The owner, Taylor, was also tending the bar during our visit, and he walked us through the concept while also providing thoughtful wine recommendations. We both started with a glass of crisp and cold prosecco, and then switched over to try Vino Volta, which kind of tasted like a good craft beer's bubbly cousin. They even have a few light bites on their menu if you need something to snack on - but since they're located in L&L Market, there's plenty of other food options nearby as well! This is a special place to sit and sip on high quality, curated wines with good company, and I'm confident I'll be back again soon.
