Cute hidden spot on the water! Popped in for brunch with the girls and was able to be seated right away. There were already people there so we didn't get a table right in the water but still could see it and watch the boats drive by. Our server was friendly and gave recommendations when choosing our entrees. The food came out quick and was pretty good. I'd say a downside was the bathrooms, I'll never understand how public places only have 2 stalls especially in a women's restroom. read more

Blue Moon Waterfront Grille - 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and bacon - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

3.5/5 Stars This place is truly a hidden gem in Nashville. I grew up coming here, and it's still one of the few spots in West Nashville where you can sit right on the river and enjoy a nice dinner. The food is good. Nothing that will necessarily blow you away, but it's consistently solid. The catfish was amazing and definitely a standout. I ordered the blackened shrimp and blackened grouper. The shrimp was great, while the grouper was a little tougher than I would've liked, but that's expected being this far from the coast. Overall, the atmosphere is what really makes this place special. Great riverfront views, a relaxing ambiance, and consistently good food. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

This is a gem in Nashville getting to dine on the water and the food and drinks are amazing. Service is spot on and food portions are plentiful and pleasing. Take a trip to Rock Harbor and enjoy the cool nightlife on the River. read more

The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and was the highlight of our visit. It gave you the feeling of being on the coastline while still being in the middle of a big city, which was a nice breath of fresh air. The food was good overall, but the mac and cheese was disappointing. It tasted like it had been sitting out for a while, so it wasn't as fresh as the rest of the meal. One thing to be aware of is that there is currently a lot of construction around the restaurant, which made getting there a bit difficult. I also didn't feel that the entrance was very ADA accessible. The pathway was narrow, and the ramp leading inside was quite steep, which could make access challenging for guests using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with a fantastic atmosphere, but there are a few areas that could be improved to make the experience better for everyone. read more

This dish was okay. I wish the grits would have had more cheese infused into. i felt like I had to salt or ask for butter to get the creamy seasoned taste i was after. Other than that, the food was great. The service was good and the atmosphere was great. I was able to see all types of wildlife in the water. It's a very relaxing place to eat. read more

We've been back many times since my last review, have tried several different dishes, and enjoy dining there very much. Visited again for lunch today. My wife had the Grilled Shrimp Panzanella Salad; Grilled shrimp, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, grilled sourdough cubes, capers, Mozzarella, fresh basil and oregano tossed in a Smokey Dijon Vinaigrette dressing. It was excellent. I had the Jerk Chicken; 2 chicken breasts marinated in jerk spices and citrus, grilled over black beans and Tumeric rice with grilled pineapple salsa. Huge portions, and delicious. Our server, Christian W, was outstanding. Kept our beverage glasses filled, checked on us several times, just right. A gentleman came by, I assume the owner, and asked about our food. When I told him how much I like the Jerk Chicken, he shared wish us where the recipe came from, wish I could remember where, but can't pull it up. It was so hot today that we were concerned about the temperature; definitely didn't want to sit outside, but inside was cool and comfortable. Price-wise, a lot of great food for less money than similar spots in Green Hills and Belle Meade. read more

I had pretty high expectations for Blue Moon from TikTok reviews and yelp but....the outdoor vibe and the margarita was the only thing I'd recommend. The food lacked so much. I'll be back for a drink though! read more

The food, drinks, atmosphere & service were excellent. Prices are fair, not overpriced. I'm so happy we made the decision to visit. Even though it was a super hot day (about 90 degrees out), they had the fans going; + the flowing water made for a breezy, comfortable afternoon on the patio. They offer remoulade & ranch for dipping, so I was one happy gal with my fish & chips. The fried cod was fantastic, the food came out quickly, and my friend finished her plate of blackened salmon & shrimp; the pick two option was a great choice. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Nashville! Waterfront is always a winner in my book!Casual fun atmosphere. Service is always good. We love Alicia she was very attentive and fun. The food is delicious and there is something for everyone even if you have food allergies. They have added some new menu items this year,the white cheddar grits are amazing! And definitely check out the Port O' Call cocktail it's delicious and boozy lol. Thank me later! read more

So, my wife and I went to Blue Moon Waterfront Cafe last night. Overall, a very good experience. The food was good, our server, Stephanie was fun and helpful, BUT, it was starting to rain so we moved to the bar (the bar had like 5 people max at it). When we moved to the bar, the bartender, Ashley, asked if we were moving from another spot. When we said yes, she said we would need to get what we needed from our server. Cool, we had already ordered and we would order the next round of drinks from her. After our food came, my wife asked the bartender for a napkin, and she gave it to her, but said, I told you that you would need to get anything you needed from your server . My wife, not really believing what she had heard, said, even a napkin? Ashley says "yes, I'm not making any money off you". I don't think I've ever heard anyone in the service industry be so rude. We talked to the manager and she suggested a review. read more

Waitress spilled two full drinks of sangria all over me and my shoes. Thankfully I was able to wipe the leather mostly clean after lots of scrubbing under the table. She said she was sorry and nothing else was said. No management came over. No compensation was taking off the check. They literally didn't even clean up the floor. They just made us step in it the whole night. I've had entire tables covered before just for a waitress spilling a water on someone. The least this place could have done was clean the floor. Ridiculous service here. read more

Blue Moon Waterfront Grille - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Wow! Talk about an incredible waterfront restaurant. As a Nashville resident, it's easy to get used to waiting and overcrowding, but you can let that all go at Blue Moon. I visited Blue Moon at peak dinner time on a Friday evening and had the absolute best experience. There were several large parties that showed up just before my boyfriend and I, but the restaurant staff worked hard to get everyone seated very quickly. I was very impressed with how speedy the service was. Food was quick, drinks were great, the view was amazing and the ducks were too cute! Our waiter was kind and on top of his game. The manager was working hard to keep everything clean and presentable and I noticed her helping to clean tables and prep for the next group frequently. She even made rounds to ensure everyone was enjoying their visit. We had the poke appetizer, blackened mahi mahi tacos, and pick two dinner (blackened salmon and coconut shrimp). As well as the Summer Lick and In the Shayd drinks. The food was so fresh and absolutely delicious, prepared to perfection! And the drinks were amazing and refreshing. This experience was truly one of the best I've had since moving here and for a bit I felt like I wasn't even in Nashville but a waterfront oasis. I will 110% be back! read more

Food was wonderful. Service at the bar by Renée et al was superb. Enjoyable experience by the water.

Tucked away on the west side of Nashville. Enjoyable outdoor dining right on the water. Went for Sunday brunch and enjoyed our meal. I ordered biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were a little overdone and tough to break apart at times. Gravy was flavorful and potato's were great! My partner ordered eggs Benedict. Overall decent, poached eggs were not runny. Service was good and attentive! Truly enjoy the spot for good service and environment. Great spot to get drinks and sit outdoors. read more

It's very easy to like the Blue Moon restaurant. It's off the beaten path, but the food, view, service, and atmosphere are worth the extra effort. Who doesn't like a nice meal on the water, whether it's Sunday brunch or watching the sunset. Setting and dress is very casual. The Calamari is our go to appetizer. The Mahi dishes are always favorites, along with the burgers and fish tacos. Bushwackers are adult chocolate milkshakes - they are awesome, but very filling! Might want to split with someone, but definitely give them a try. Right beside the river is the best spot, but there is additional indoor dining if you prefer. Children, by the way, love to watch the turtles. If you haven't tried Blue Moon, you need to. read more

Great service, great atmosphere & really good food! Have been coming here for years, during good times & bad, & have never been disappointed. We recommend Blue Moon & will definitely be going back. read more

My son and I love this little place. It's our fav secret spot. Sitting out by the water, you almost forget you're in Nashville. The atmosphere feels like you're dining on the river. Plenty of menu options. I adore the hush puppies. Super flavorful and crunchy. The remoulade sets them off. Service has always been wonderful. read more

What a fabulous way to end the day great views dockside at Blue Moon ! We had a very good meal great Service from Megan and beautiful views. We started with the Tuna poke appetizer very fresh and very tasty! I had the blackened shrimp tacos and my wife had the blackened Mahi Sandwich both very good as well! A bottle wine and the sunset you can't go wrong! We will return as i am sure it will only get better as the season goes as they have just reopened for the summer. read more

Visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The vibe is a laid back and casual waterfront spot. The location is built into the docks. Service was on the slower side, but staff were friendly. The food itself is average, it was likely frozen fish used in the tacos because it was rather bland, but the salsa they added on top saves it a little bit. I would come back because it's local, and the drinks there are strong. They offer a full bar and a variety of fun tiki drinks. TL;DR - Average food, strong drinks, laid back environment. read more

Had a lovely dinner on the patio at Blue Moon. My wife and I split a nice bottle of wine and chipotle peach glazed wings to starter and both were fabulous.

Came here on a whim after looking for a place nearby. It was cool outside so sat out under the sails. Plenty of seating outside and in. Staff was very nice and attentive. Got the kahlua and cream French toast with a side of eggs. French toast was delicious and would definitely recommend. The scrambled eggs on the other hand were not good. I don't know if they were made from powdered eggs or were just old, but they were rubbery and had no flavor. I'll stick to the French toast next time. read more

We went for brunch and the food was cold. Our server politely said that was on the kitchen not her. The only item she replaced were the sweet potatoe fries and they were burnt warm but burnt! Expected more! read more

Service and Atmosphere 10/10. Everyone was great and I enjoyed sitting outside by the water. The reason I'm giving Blue Moon 3 stars is because the food is just average for the prices. We got the calamari - they were okay. Not the best/not the worst. The sweet potato fries were a little salty and the burger was meh, average. I got the fajita bowl with mahi mahi which was pretty good - pricey, but good. Overall, the vibes are spot on. Perfect summer spot to sit by the water. However, just know the food is not stellar. read more

This is the perfect spot when the weather is nice. Go sit on their large patio, watch the sun set and drink a bushwacker. You can watch as ducks fly over, boats come in for the night and watch planes taking off or landing nearby at John C Tune Airport. It's very peaceful here. Families and date nights alike- this is a good spot for you. If you're looking for a healthy menu, they do have a few options, but we did not try those. The Goods: - free parking in the large lot at the marina - service was excellent. Our server was very attentive. - food was freshly made to order but came out extremely fast - food was really tasty! - Bushwacker (icy chocolatey boozy drink) for the win Here's what we ordered: - Fried cheese curds - we got them "plain" which means they weren't dipped in buffalo sauce. A side of ranch and also marinara are provided and let me tell you- this dish was a delight. So good! - Mahi Mahi Tacos- yum! This dish comes with 2 tacos (you can add a third for $6) and some delicious sauce made with ranch. Also a side that's mixed with black beans & yellow rice. All very good. - French Fries - so crispy with a hint of seasoning and a lot of salt. Just how I like them! - Fried Coconut Shrimp - didn't love that sauce they come with but the shrimp were SO GOOD! The Not So Goods: - You do have to take a ramp from the parking lot to get to the restaurant. I'm not handicap, but I would imagine this ramp might be a little difficult for someone who is. - They don't allow pets on the patio so keep your furry friends at home. I'd love to bring my dog but this isn't a reason to keep me away. - take a jacket or sweatshirt if you sit by the water. It can get chilly. Love that this place is within walking distance in my neighborhood. We will be back! read more

Love this little hidden gem. Beautiful restaurant by the river with nautical theme and eats. Food is not bad but you go for the ambiance. Feels like a little piece of Florida in the Nations. I will say I always bring bug spray if I plan to sit on the patio, the mosquitos can get a little out of control. Great spot for date night! read more
