It was delicious and our server was very helpful. Great date night spot. The vibe was very relaxed and we enjoyed our time.

Another fabulous meal at Answer! We opted for the patio just for a bit of extra personal space. It was a chilly December night but the heaters were on and they offered us blankets for our laps as well! I snapped a photo of the menu since it had some new items on it. We started with the "tomato" (fried green tomatoes, lobster, spicy sauce), scallops with sweet potatoes, and crab (served on wheat bread). For entrees we had the burger/fries and the spaghetti served with bay scallops and arugula pesto. It was a lot of food but we couldn't stop ourselves from ordering dessert as well- s'mores panna cotta. Everything was excellent, including service. Can't wait to go back! read more

Loved this cozy open space. We went with a group after my bachelorette weekend in Nashville and the munchies were real. The food was delicious- the cocktails were strong - and it turns out- - Answer was the cure to all our end of the weekend woes/ worst hangover of my life. All brunch items were above expectation. *Berries and cream *a tower of decadent French toast *perfectly poached eggs and crispy bacon *baked eggs and perfectly charred ciabatta for dip pin' *cheesy egg breakfast sandwich on Texas style toast with chunky Parmesan potatoes *crab toast that made my weekend *house made chicken sausage that was snatch back to the Gods amazing. If that list of brunch food didn't just make your mouth water you are insane and probably not fun at parties. This is a spot that absolutely positively CANNOT be missed while in Nashvegas. If you're just in Nashville too, it's also a place you should probably go give your money to in exchange for food. I only went for brunch so cannot comment on the rest but DAMN, this food was good. read more

I had a great girls' brunch at Answer yesterday (my first visit). My friends and I made a reservation (just in case), and we all got there about on time. Our table was ready for us, and the restaurant is very beautiful! High ceilings, beautiful without trying too hard. (They have a small parking lot behind the restaurant, but street parking is pretty easy too. Bonus.) The service was great! Our waiter was by fairly regularly to ask if we wanted another drink, fill up our water glasses, and make sure we were doing well, but he didn't ever cross the line into too-much interference! But onto the food and drinks (the important stuff). I wanted everything on their Sunday brunch menu! I had a very hard time choosing. Two of our four went with the Sylvan Standard (scrambled eggs, chorizo - housemade chicken chorizo sausage, tomato, kennebec potato home fries, and grilled sourdough). My other friend got their baked eggs (tomato sauce, basil, pecorino, chile oil, and grilled bread). I got the "bowl" (grits, cheese, bacon, poached eggs, cremini, leeks, bourbon demi glace). I'm particular about my grits and my eggs, and this dish was perfect (in my opinion). The eggs were cooked *just* right - still runny when you cut into them, and the grits were smooth and creamy, no clumps to be found. (We stuck to the more breakfast-y part of the brunch menu, but they have a burger, crab toast, fried chicken, etc., that all sounded great as well.) A few of us tried the brunch cocktails - one orange creamiscle, one pomegranate, one bloody mary. They all enjoyed their cocktails, but joined me in drinking the sparkling Malbec for their second round. They have a pretty extensive list of beers, wines, and cocktails that are available for brunch, sure to please most anyone. All in all, it was a lovely brunch with friends! read more

This place exceeded my expectations WAY beyond anticipation!! I cannot emphasize how delicious everything was that I tasted. We started out with the poke and panzanella salad which were both incredible but honestly I would go back for the salad alone!! It was so fresh and not overwhelming in the slightest. The garganelli pasta was really refreshing but was a bit adventurous for me with the cooked grapes, however the chicken was a huge hit for my partner who loved the flavor. The chicken was a new take on Nashville chicken but less fried so it made for a very hearty but not heavy dish. However, in my opinion, the star of the show was the blondie. I could eat this ice cream everyday all day and as crazy as this is to say, it was probably the best ice cream i've had in my life! After asking if I could buy it, I learned they make it in house - which is even cooler. The ambiance was fairly lively with a small dining space so nothing super special, however the view into the kitchen was neat. Service was solid and always attentive. Can't wait to go back here! read more

It's been about two years since I ate here (and last time was just for brunch). But as soon as I stepped in, I was wondering what took me so long! Vibe felt energetic and busy but Covid safe. Cocktails were great (we ordered the gin and the vodka based drinks). I really love the dining room (one big layout). Apps: Arancini (has pork and shrimp), Scallops- the big winner in my book. Divine scallops with a purée. Two large scallops- my friend did this as her entree Entrees: Burger (comes w thicker steak fries) Spaghetti- has a pesto sauce (something spicy in here which i love), small bay scallops, crushed walnuts Desserts: Big winners all around!! Blonde brownie with fresh homemade ice cream- yummm S'mores panna cotta- let's just say i only got a bite bc my husband devoured it I'm already planing to go back next Thursday with a girl friend for happy hour ;) read more

Went here for dinner before seeing lights at cheekwood and it was the perfect early dinner! There is happy hour at the bar every night (even Saturday) so that's what we did!

Even though the bar was packed we still got great service, and it was really spacious and cute inside! read more

Where do I have Sunday brunch in Nashville, you ask? I think you know the ANSWER. I had seen an article from the Nashville Guru highlighting the top places to have brunch in the city and it gave a nod to Answer. I made a reservation on Open Table and brought two girlfriends here who were visiting from out of town. They were both really impressed by this place. One of my friends commented that it was her favorite meal we had in Nashville. When we arrived at Answer I noticed how bright and open the space is. The kitchen is open air so you can see the chefs and the oven. There is a large square bar in the center then seating around the outside of the restaurant and a covered patio. We had to wait a few minutes before we were seated. When our server arrived he was very pleasant and took our drink order. I got the bellini ($9) and my friends ordered the pomegranate ($11), the orange creamsicle ($10) and then each a glass of Rose. We each tried each other's drinks and although I really enjoyed my drink I think that the pomegranate was the best one. The orange creamsicle was delicious but was just a bit too sweet for me. The aforementioned article said the thing to order was the baked eggs. So what did I get here? The baked eggs ($10), of course. This dish is executed perfectly and is simple yet had really good flavor. Served in a cast iron skillet with grilled baguette on the side, a tomato and basil sauce bubbled around the eggs. When I put my fork into each egg it was well-done so the yolk wasn't runny, which I like that it was the right consistency for this dish. One of my friends got the "bowl" ($12) and another got the Sylvan Standard ($14), but they were out of chorizo so she ordered bacon with it. Side note: I was eyeing a crab toast ($13) on the menu which looked delicious so I think this may be my next brunch order. Overall, the service was great the food and drinks were excellent and the ambiance is nice. The restaurant wasn't too noisy although it was busy. I would definitely come back for brunch but I would also love to try their dinner menu. A side note about parking--there is a small parking lot behind answer and a couple spots in front. We got lucky finding a spot but it looks like it may be a walk if it's busy! read more

Answer - Baked eggs and a peach Bellini - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Came for happy hours on a Saturday evening. Bar top only. We wanted to be sure we got a chance to catch happy hours and get a seat. Got there just in time when the restaurant just opened for dinner. Since, they are closed during the day. I love trying new places especially when it is tapas style. Me and my girlfriends ordered everything on the happy hour menu. $5 small plates and shared it. Only thing sitting at the bar. It was harder to share plates but besides that. The food presentation looked nice. My favorite the Trout dip had no fishy taste or smell to it. It was delicious! Also Crostini I wish it had more then 2 bruschetta it had us wanting to order more. Cocktails drinks was mediocre. Ambience vibe felt romantic. Or was it the cocktails kicking in. But overall I enjoyed my visit with my friends there. read more

#fatjared say...There were some positives, there were some negatives. Overall, this place is the epitome of average. Enjoyable, and won't complain to go back, but won't try my hardest to either. I had been here once before, and I remember liking it, but I wasn't wowed by it. Alot of the same happened this time. The menu is easy, unique, and not too much. I like that about this place. Good drink options and reasonably priced. Another good thing. Waitress was nice and we got seated right away on a Sun. at 10:30am. All good things and a good start. We ordered the baked eggs to share as a table. The bread was good, eggs were cooked well, and the spices in the tomato sauce were also tasty. One of the better items we had. I was there with my best friend, his wife (It was her birthday), and my fiance'. We had 2 orders of the Sylvan Special, and 2 orders of the Bowl. I ordered the bowl and it was actually phenomenal. 1 small complaint was the eggs were a bit over poached, and not runny enough, but the bacon was cooked PERFECTLY, and the flavor profile of the grits with everything was good. Rich, but I like rich. The Sylvan Special was honestly just not that great. The eggs were scrambled and had no flavor. Needed salt and pepper, and were too oily. Even after salt and pepper just not good. It was a good portion size, but neither person finished their eggs. The Chorizo was overcooked also. not doing eggs right is a sin. They were nice waiters and waitresses, but also brought us the wrong dish not once but twice. Not ok at a nice brunch spot. Finally, we had mentioned 3 times we had a birthday at the table. When you go to a place like this, cute, quieter, quaint, specialty place, you have NO EXCUSE to not do something special for a birthday person. Bring out a small cake, a scoop of ice cream, some thing, ANYTHING, especially when it is mentioned multiple times. I couldn't believe it. Overall, with just as many negatives as positives, again, that is the epitome of average. For all the brunch spots in Nashville, there are way better. read more

This place is great! I can't wait to come back and try more things! My husband and I had a lovely dinner here and had such great service that I would come back for that alone! We had the albondigas which were delicious but don't expect soup lol The drinks were awesome too. My husband said his Rye drink tasted like an old fashioned just punched you in the face and he loved it. Our margaritas were delicious too. We finished the night off with a s'mores dessert which was the perfect size for the amount we already ate. Overall, nothing could be better. read more

The owner of the restaurant was very rude and unwelcoming. She was working as the host. We were clearly there for happy hour at 5pm. She did not let us know that only the bar tops were for happy hour. She told us we could sit outside if we did not have a reservation. We did not feel like waiting, so we went outside. When we sat down, we realized that normal tables cannot get the happy hour drinks. After we realized this we decided to leave and she said "well I told you those weren't for happy hour," in an extremely rude way. She didn't tell us, but even if she did, that's no way to treat someone that's coming to your restaurant. We were thinking of going back for dinner service, but definitely not now. I'm sure the food is fine, but some hospitality would be nice! read more

Nashville has gained another fabulous restaurant. I look forward to returning in a warmer season to enjoy the patio, which currently is enclosed in plastic and appears to still be pretty warm with the heat lamps. We ate inside; it's not a huge restaurant and the bar takes up a big chunk of the space. My only complaint is that our table (a two-top) was pretty tiny and the space between it and the four-tops was really narrow, so our waiter kept getting interrupted while speaking with us because there is no room for people to pass through and it gets really jammed. It was awkward walking back from the restroom for the same reason. When we return I will make a special request not to sit at one of those tables because it was a little uncomfortable. That said, I still give five stars because everything else was PERFECT. I had the gin drink, which consists of Japanese gin, sake, grapefruit, lemon and cilantro. I normally don't like gin all that much, but this drink was super refreshing and flavorful. I love the fresh herbs and fruit; it was beautifully crafted. My husband had the bourbon drink and loved it enough to order a second. We shared the avocado crab toast to start. I had to force myself to eat it slowly, I wanted to gobble it up! It was worthy of returning just for that! I had the fried chicken, which is fried in rice flour with fish sauce, honey, and togarashi on top. I tried to make it two days later at home without achieving nearly the perfection that Answer did. They make it so crispy, the meat was juicy, and the Japanese Seven Spice just set it off! It came with a big portion of sweet potato fries and an Asian style slaw. My husband had the burger, he enjoyed it very much. It came with normal fries (I sampled, they were great). We left super full and we were shocked at how reasonably priced this gorgeous meal was. We will definitely return and highly recommend it! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Nashville and I've never even had a full meal there. We typically go for happy hour for snacks and drinks - $6 for everything on the happy hour menu! Be sure to make a reservation though or you will wait forever for a spot at the bar. The cocktails are always great and I love that they rotate each week. My favorite happy hour snacks are definitely the hummus and the dip. Meatballs are also wonderful! read more

Best meal I've had in Nashville over the past few months. We split the octopus appetizer, a pork chop entree, as well as a bucatini entree. Everything here was well worth what we paid (which I would personally rate in the $$ category). Our waiter was fantastic and it was a truly great experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Excellent Food and Cocktails! Awesome service.. Every time my wife and I go it is awesome!

Creative and delicious tapas with great service. Definitely try to get a reservation if you can. Even on a weekday night, place was packed with a 45 minute wait for a table. We were able to grab drinks at the bar while we waited. Our server was great! Our table of 4 shared: - Chicken with cole slaw: I was pleasantly surprised with how tender and moist this was! Delicious and very well seasoned. - Tartare: Pretty good. Not super memorable but if I had a craving I would order again. - Mussels: Disappointing. Tiny and didn't pack as much flavor as I was hoping. The sauce didn't impress me. - Crab: One of my favorite dishes! Served on a large toast bread. Could easily eat this whole thing as an entree. - Plantain: Skip this one. I thought it was dry and flavorless. - Octopus: Tangy and good with the cauliflower. Cooked well, soft. Very refreshing. I also enjoyed the house sangria which was delicious. Would return here to check out the brunch menu. I found many of the items interesting and well done. read more

My new favorite spot in Nashville! The food was incredible! I have many dietary restrictions and they walked me through the whole many and were able to adjust and customize so many things. They made me a gluten and dairy free version of the panzanella salad and the trout. Both amazing! We also enjoyed the gin cocktail and my mom ordered the rhubarb crisp for dessert! We both couldn't get over how wonderful everything was! This will definitely be a new staple for us! read more

We came for a weekday happy hour and I'm in love. The place itself it's super cute. A nice bar in the center of the restaurant, seating all around, and patio seating outside. We grab two seats at the bar and check out the happy hour menu. Everything on the menu is $5. We get two glasses of red wine and the shishito peppers. Both were great but omg the peppers were amazing. Perfect seasoning and just the right size for two people to share. For three glasses of wine and one appetizer our bill was $20. Amazing. I can't wait to go back for dinner or brunch. read more

I am a first timer and this was a great place to take my wife for her birthday. I made reservations about two weeks out and arrived about 10 minutes before the reservation. Parking was a little tight but I found a spot around the corner. I dropped my wife at the door to ensure we would have a table and secure our reservation. Dee Dee was our server and was wearing a mask which was completely fine with us as we have both been vaccinated and I understand that you need to stay safe regardless. We both enjoyed 3 separate appetizers which consisted of the tuna tartar, muscles, and the crab over wheat toast. All the apps were perfectly cooked and served on time. My wife requested that she have the halibut with the trout accompanied which Dee checked with the Chef who granted her request. I had the Porter Road Burger and fries which was cooked perfectly! Dee was always on point and made our experience that much more special. The drinks, food, and service was super and made our special birthday celebration an A Plus. Thank you to Dee and the entire staff for being so attentive to our table and making our night perfect! read more

Answer - Wife's birthday and she can't drive 55! - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

During a recent visit to Nashville, we were looking for something other than another country bar downtown -- something classier and quieter. Answer was the answer we were looking for! We ended up sitting at the bar to order drinks and food. The bartender was friendly and attentive. The drinks were creative and on point. We decided to order one plate at a time and split the food, tapas style. The dishes were very unique and tasty! It's also a treat to be able to watch the kitchen staff preparing your food and having a good time while they do so. Give Answer a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

It was awesome. I was a party of 1 at the bar. Felt totally comfortable. The tequila drink was so delish. The appetizer was beautiful and so yummy. Would absolutely go back read more

Left displeased and hungry. Wanted to love but... out of the 3 dishes our waiter recommended none were up to par. We ordered arancini, the meatballs, the shrimp ceviche and their bucatini pasta. The arancini was gigantic and had an overly fishy taste. The meatball was sour nearly inedible. It had very strange flavors for a meatball in red sauce... and a taste that still lingers. Now the bucatini had 5 noodles and about one pound of sauce. It wasn't terrible but certainly not good. The shrimp ceviche was great and had wonderful flavors but the plantain chips where stale...maybe Wednesdays aren't a great night for answer. read more

We love Answer - it is such a Sylvan Park neighborhood gem! They consistent provide excellent service and, most importantly, innovative and tasty (but non-pretentious) southern-inspired food! Rye cocktail with amaro and blood orange was outstanding. Great vibe. All food dishes ordered on a recent Saturday night - Panzanella and Fried Green Tomatoes to start - Buccantini and Spaghetti with scallops mains - Berry Crisp and Sweet Corn Ice Cream desserts - were superb! Looking forward to coming back! read more

Wow!! What a great experience and recommendation. I was in town on business and answer was recommended by a colleague back home. There were four of us in our party which made the experience even better as we were able to order 4 apps and entrees to share. First, the ambiance is awesome. An understated, but cool spot to grab dinner and drinks. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and shown to our reserved table immediately. The owner was also at the door and she greeted us with enthusiasm. Always great to see such pride in one's restaurant. We started with a couple drinks. . . I had the bourbon drink and a friend had the vodka drink (I think. ;-) ) The bourbon drink was fantastic and was essentially a cool old fashioned. For apps, we went with the arancini, panzanella, tartare, and lamb. All were beautifully seasoned and flavorful! Pictures attached. If you haven't had tartare before, make the leap here and you won't regret it. For entrees, we went with the trout, bucatini, chicken, and halibut. Oh my oh my, these were all great. I'm not much of a pasta enthusiast...especially at nice restaurants, but the house made pasta was to die for. The raghu and the pasta were perfect! I don't usually go with chicken dishes, but did at the owner's recommendation. She was spot on. This is the most tender on the bone chicken I've had in a long while. We didn't save room for dessert, but would go back here in a heartbeat and plan to try their desserts next time. Enjoy!! read more

Answer in West Nashville is the answer to Germantown's array of haute cuisine restaurants. From a business review standpoint, I will say a pioneering move as there isn't anything of this calibre in West Nashville as yet. And, I hope it is only the beginning. But we are here on yelp to review food not audit business strategy. Three words: Excellente! Bravo! and Exciting! The first for food, service, ambience and price; the second for taking flavors boldly to gourmet levels (and of course for venturing on the west side), and last for being located at walking distance from my place. What I love about the menu: You have options for Vegetarians, Non-Vegetarians, Non-red meat eaters, Picky eaters etc. Point is: This place has something for everyone and given the extraordinary flavors, none will disappoint. We happened to take a friend, who didn't eat any red meat, for dinner there and we had plenty to choose from. Our server Zack was amazing! When we mentioned our dietary concern, he took the pen to the menu, circled all those we could choose from without sparing a moment and told us about the dishes. And, this my friend is the epitome of top-notch customer service. I have been to countless restaurants where servers are not always familiar with what is on the menu or the ingredients. He was sharp at it. In addition, he split our crab toast into three because we three were sharing. His exceptional attention to us truly added to our great experience. So if you get Zack, rest assured you will have a great dining experience. Now to the flavors, there wasn't anything we didn't like. They all were different yet all were, sophisticated, had great balance of acid and maintained clean flavors. And the Answer prices are comparable but a tad bit less expensive than at germantown. So you are getting fantastic quality and experience at a better price. Appetizers: Tofu: O.M.G! We didn't know you could do with turmeric what tofu did. It was innovative, delicious and the flavor was extraordinary. A must try! Crab: If you think, "it is an avocado toast what is the big deal?" It is! The lime, the radish will delicately balance the crab and creaminess. It's different, and deserves to be in the avocado toast hall of fame. Plantain: It is a delightful marriage of the heat and and acid from the jalapeño and corn salsa with the sweetness of the plantains. Great texture too! Mains Chicken: It is an asian twist to the Nashville hot chicken. I shamelessly love chicken skin and this skin was so gorgeously spiced and thinly crispy. The meat was juicy and paired well with the coolness of the Asian slaw. It's such a gourmet take on hot chicken. And although the dish has sambal, it is not that spicy; just a kick. Also, those sweet potato fries are to die for. They were crispy to perfection. It is so hard to get such crispy sweet potato fries-outstanding! Garganelli: Roasted grapes? Who would have thought this ingredient with a light sauce and fava beans could elevate a garganelli to this height. It adds beautiful sweetness and cuts the rich flavor of cheese and pasta. Desserts Rhubarb crisp: For a chilly night, this is perfect. I don't exactly remember what all it had but it was sweet, slightly tangy with sweet crunchy goodness topped with ice-cream. It was warm and cozy. It was complex and delicious. Highly recommended. Chocolate mousse: Don't let the small size fool you. It is decadent by sheer flavor. smores-like with a beautiful texture. Smoked marshmallow-y with smooth chocolate-y mousse. It's a beautiful combination of two textures of creaminess. Deliciously comforting. The ambience is romantic for date night and elegant overall. They have ample seating: tables and at the bar. Honestly, it is a wonderful atmosphere. I am so happy that we have such an upscale addition to this neighborhood. It's a gem! read more

Thanks to Yelp, I discovered a delightful restaurant in Sylvan Park called Answer. Answer serves "tapas" style small plates, but unlike a number of similar places I've been to the portion sizes aren't so small that two people need a dozen dishes to avoid leaving hungry. Service is top-notch; our server was attentive without being overbearing. Tip: Based on my recent dinner experiences, Answer appears to be quite popular, so I strongly suggest that you make reservations, especially on the weekend. As for the food, everything I've tried here thus far has been positively wonderful; the two dishes that standout in my memory are the steak and the banana ice cream. The former was wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked medium rare (exactly as requested), and the latter was sweet, refreshing, and the perfect finale to an amazing dining experience. read more

We're from out of state attending a convention and thought this sounded good and we were right! The mushroom appetizer was excellent and by far our favorite..ended up ordering another one.

I came here with 4 other people and we all tried each other's food so I can kinda speak for everyone. The feelings were mixed. I got the trout which in my opinion was super good and I'd definitely go back and get it again. We didn't love the other meals as much but mostly because it just wasn't what we were expecting. Three people got the filet which was extremely bland and really dry too. Like it didn't have a single bit of seasoning. They had absolutely no taste except for the taste of char from the grill or whatever they cook it with. One was well done which makes sense why it would taste like that but the other two were medium and medium rare. I'm not sure if it has to do with the style of the restaurant as to why they don't use seasonings but just so anyone reading this knows.. you will only taste meat and char. The other meal was like a pesto spaghetti and it was the complete opposite of the steaks. Sooo much flavor it was hard to eat after one bite. The servers were pretty nice though and the experience was decent. Its just hard to justify paying "nice" restaurant price when there's so many really good restaurants in Nashville for the exact same price with incredible food. I would definitely go back for the trout because I thought it was really good but that's probably the only thing I'd try and order. We did make a reservation but I don't think it's always needed! They had inside and outside seating and parking is very limited! read more

Understanding that it is COVID, but to receive a call by the hostess saying canceling a reservation 3 hours is very rude and disrespectful, the response it's self is very disrespectful!!!! We are very large party and had a schedule change with someone falling ill is the reason why we had to cancel. You are a professional and in a customer service industry and though with a right to be upset, you don't know our reason for canceling, we had an exposure to COVID and i just saved you and your staff!!! We canceled 3 hours in advance, would you rather had us not show up? Best wishes during this time, but i will be sure the person who called me will be looking for a new gig!! read more

We're recent Nashville transplants and can walk here from our house. I'm glad we finally visited! Cocktails were well balanced and strong-- my preference. We got the fried green tomatoes which had a nice balance of tang, savory, and a little kick. I was in the mood for burger-- and it was among best I've ever had! We'll seasoned, very juicy, but we'll cooked. Delicious bun, with light toast. Their ice cream was thick, custardy, and good enough to be stand alone dessert. Overall, great dinner out, and our fav among Sylvan Park, or even Nashville, that we've had so far. read more

Answer - Fried green tomatoes - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

So happy to have finally made it in here. The ambiance is a bit different from most of the places we visit but in a good way. The restaurant was completely full and the noise level was at that perfect loud hum to drown out conversations around you and give your own anonymity. The server was friendly and our small plates and drinks came out in quick order. Now for the food: the panzanella won the day but the mussels and ceviche had good heat to them and were close behind. The tomato dish was extremely rich. I was glad to be able to share it with others and I deeply regret not ordering the mushrooms after watching them pass by. We finished with the bucatini and it was a hit for the majority. I was the clear anomaly. It was good, but not good enough to keep me from trying other dishes in the future. And there will be a future. The berry crisp dessert was the perfect level of sweetness and will definitely be reordered at our next visit. I never got a chance to steal a bite of the s'more dish but it looked wonderful and vanished quickly. We'll head back soon to try those mushrooms! read more

Oh Answer, I am sure you didn't intend for this interpretation of your name, but, to me, you are the ANSWER to the missing piece in so many of Nashville's neighborhoods. What a dreamy enhancement to Sylvan Park. The setting is so lovely with a busy open kitchen at the back, a gorgeous central bar and low tables surrounding at the periphery. We checked in with the hostess and we're promptly escorted to our table. Of note: the woman who checked in prior to us was "winging it" and hoping for a table for four without a reservation; the hostess kindly offered her to wait at the bar, but the message was clear that on weekends reservations are strongly recommended. So read on to be enticed by the amazing food we ate and then race to book a table! The menu is simple: starters and mains, cocktails and wine. Service was efficient, friendly, helpful and polite. We began with steak tartare - a lovely preparation with excellent chips, and albondigas - plump and flavorful meatballs made with aged beef AND brisket. (Talk dirty to me, Answer!) For entress we had a delicious halibut dish and a fabulous pasta dish with roasted grapes. The flavors were complex, but not overly challenging. I was getting full, and saying goodbye to any remaining morsel on my plate was difficult. Drinks-wise, I began with a sparkling concoction called Bubbles. And my husband had a lovely, fruity punch. We had a delicious and reasonably priced bottle of wine that paired so well with our meal. As we left, we were already scouring our calendars to figure out when we were going to hit up Answer again, and soon. We suggest you do the same ! read more
