Wei H.

Very popular in the food court. It's a line to order and to wait. They do take your number and text you when the food is ready, which is very helpful. You can grab a table first inside the food court. It is a huge hall and buzzing crowd. The lobster is soft and tasty. The bread is buttery and fluffy. Butter makes it to another level. Overall a great lobster roll. But it's a smaller portion. I will recommend to go for other food options if you are very hungry. This is for the fancy taste and expensive ingredients.

This is a super popular store in the food hall, lines get long during lunch hours. We had to wait about 10 minutes to put in our order. It's for take out orders. But there are lots of tables in front of the store in the common area to sit and dine. The menu has several types of lobster dishes like tacos, soups, rolls and sides. Some of the rolls have market price. We ordered the Connecticut roll that was about $30. They took about 7-8 minutes to prepare the order. The sandwich was unassembled in the box. The bread was toaster with butter and the lobster was in a foil pack The taste and quality of the bread could have been better. The chunk of lobster was good, pieces were big. I would have preferred the sandwich to be put together from the kitchen, that would have allowed the lobster, butter and the bread to blend together for better taste.

Yummy fast food Hot chowder, warm chips, and a delicious mango shrimp taco....if I wasn't sitting by myself in a fancy food court, I'd have been in heaven.

Local Dock at Assembly Food Hall did not disappoint. I got the lobster grilled cheese with chips and the lobster bisque dipping sauce, and it was sooo good. The food came out quickly, the sandwich had a generous amount of lobster, and every bite was packed with flavor. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I'll definitely be back.

Ordered garlic shrimps and fish tacos. I was very impressed that it tasted very fresh. Highly recommended. But their clam chowder could've been a little better. It was very thick.

Lobster roll

This place is one of many restaurants in a big food court on Broadway. I love that we have such a great selection of choices for different types of food and from different countries. The cleaning staff at the food court is pleasant and attentive. They are on top of every table cleaning and even disposing of your garbage. We ordered a lobster roll. It was fresh and delicious. The flavors of the sauce cucumbers and chips were amazing. I want to go back tomorrow to try more things. The staff was super nice and gave us so much information about the lobster; the franchise and choices.

Lobster roll

Good but expensive. $28.95 for Connecticut lobster roll. Not with the money . Gave it a try because it looked good.

Fish Taco

I was walking around Assembly food hall and chose this place. My main reason was cost. I saw that Pharmacy across the hall was asking $12 for a burger, $5 for tater tots and $3 for a drink, so a meal for one would have been $20 without tax. I saw Dock and the offerings looked good. I was going to eat something small - so not a big meal. I opted for the fish tacos. The Baja Fish taco was $5.75 and I just saw a guy pick up two of them - they looked pretty good. I only got one, and a bottle of water (Dasani, they didn't have any other options no water cups or anything). Aside: this is no knock on Dock Local, but Assembly food hall, I did not notice any drinking fountains at all. It would be nice if it was like the Farmer's Market and they had drinking fountains where you can fill your own water, instead of buying plastic bottles. Also Assembly food Hall did not have any recycle bins at all. I asked the information person if they had any recycle bins and she just said "Just throw it in the garbage there" #Facepalm. I was asked to provide my phone number so they could text me when its ready. It did not take them long to make the taco. I saw the receipt and they spelled my name Chirs which was funny. The taco was very generously sized. There was some kind of sweet sauce in it which I didn't like. But the fish was fresh, and flavorful. I really love cilantro and I was at least happy there was some in there. If it were me making it, I would have added more though. The lime and cilantro really made the taco. The fish portion was huge and the whole thing kind of fell apart. But I ended up cleaning my plate (like I do). I went to the nearby restroom to wash my hands because I got sticky sweet sauce all over my hands. Food was really good and hit the spot for lunch. I will venture here more and explore again. Maybe when I want to splurge I will try the lobster roll. Cost again, was my main reason for choosing Dock. Those Pharmacy prices are mind blowing :(

Fish taco
Nalini M.

Really didn't expect much, but I was blown out of the water with how excellent this taco was. It's the best fish taco I've had, the batter is light and airy, with a nice crunch. The fish they use is cod, it's thick. Huge pieces, very filling. The sweet and spiciness from the sauce is the perfect combination for this taco. I even went back for a second after I was done. Bonus they cook it fresh! It comes out pipping hot. Serviced was kind, I will definitely be back.

I ordered the garlic lobster fries. You get a huge amount and I did not think I would finish them. They were amazing! They do not accept cash. It is credit card only. They ask for your phone number so they can text you when your order is ready. It did take a little while because they were busy, but it was worth the wait.

With a 4.77 aggregate rating across all user-driven platforms and nearly 1,700 reviews to date, Krustaceans is much better on paper than it is in reality, a very overrated restaurant! As the highest-rated seafood joint on the entirety of Highway 70 across the America, it simply did not live up to the hype as I passed through Nashville. Perhaps I should have ordered crab or shrimp or some other boiled seafood which seems to be more of their specialty. But the fish and chips caught my attention. Beware, these aren't the fish and chips you'll find in the UK or the Northeastern United States. Instead of a crisp, beer-battered exterior, this is more like a catfish breading. And it's not bad, but it's just very different than the name would imply. The batter is probably too salty, but the fish is very fresh! The Cajun fries are horribly mediocre. They're definitely just frozen fries from a local supermarket with an uninspiring spice mix. The employees didn't seem very welcoming either, which was kind of sad since I was excited to be there. It's not a bad meal at all, but the ratings are way higher than they should be! If you're haphazardly shelling out five-star reviews, you've probably never had real seafood on the coast and have only inflated the truth for online viewers. Don't expect too much out of Krustaceans, hope for a decent meal, and you won't be disappointed.

The small signage made it a little difficult to find inside the Marriott (see pictures), but from the moment we walked in, heard the live piano player and saw the dining area - we knew this would be a great experience. We started off by sharing orders of Lobster Bisque (see picture) and Burrata with Toast (see pictures). We really enjoyed both of them - the Lobster Bisque was so creamy and smooth and the Burrata was cool, fresh and clean. They were a great combination to start our dinner experience and I would recommend both of them. Since it was a Friday during lent, my wife opted for the BBQ Shrimp Pasta (see picture) and I went with the Daily Fish Special on Blue Corn Grits (see picture). As we always do when we go out, we shared our plates and really enjoyed both of them. The BBQ Shrimp Pasta was rich, buttery and smooth and the Fish Special was a tasty white, flaky and blackened fish served on a bed of rich, creamy blue corn grits. Here again, both are highly recommended.

Growing up on the coast, I didn't think I'd find something like this in Nashville but was so pleasantly surprised. The prices are more than fair, and everything somehow tastes so fresh, as if it was fresh caught. There's a Louisiana vibe to the place, complete with an inspired mural. The crab legs were delicious but I want to come back and try the oysters! This is definitely the best place to get your true Cajun fix in Nashville.

As their name implies, their seafood is fantastic, probably the best in the entire city! They have a policy that every seafood served at Eddie V's was alive in the ocean less than 36 hours prior! Anything left over is donated, which is impressive! And you can taste its incredible freshness throughout the meal! There are only 30 locations of Eddie V's in 15 states, but the quality is hardly reminiscent of chain restaurant food. It's truly exquisite! And we have very high standard having dined at Michelin-starred eateries all over the world. The scallops, lobster, and lobster bisque are easily the best in Nashville, and we've dined at every high-class restaurant Music City has to offer! The butter poached lobster mashed potatoes are incredible, extra creamy topped with buttery lobster and a beurre blanc sauce. The truffle mac is equally stupendous, with a three-cheese blend, truffle oil, and thinly shaved truffles imported from France! While most upscale restaurants tend to make a very strong truffle mac that has overpowering flavors, the chef at Eddie V's manages to make this, and all dishes, subtle and flavorful without overdoing it. Just as amazing as the seafood are the steaks. Since they had a Japanese A5 Wagyu in the building at $40 an ounce, something they don't have every night, I took advantage of that! As expected, the highest grade of Japanese beef did not disappoint, and the chef prepared it to perfection. That impossibly tender steak seasoned beautifully just meted in my mouth, probably the second best steak I've eaten in Nashville! The ponzu sauce, one of three that accompanied the steak, was delicious. The Korean inspired gochujang was also good, but maybe not perfect for this style of steak. But the wasabi paste was the winner, a perfect compliment to the beef without being very spicy, just wonderfully flavorful. Like all dishes here, they've impeccably balanced flavor with subtly! The desserts aren't bad either, but they pale in comparison to the beef, seafood, and side dishes!

With a reservation, we walked right in with no wait. The most difficult part of the evening was deciding what to order because the menu offers so many tempting choices. I selected the Kvarøy Arctic Salmon, while my wife chose the Springer Mountain Farms All-Natural Chicken. Both dishes exceeded expectations. The salmon was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It rested on a bed of greens with a subtle lemon flavor that paired beautifully with the fish. The chicken was equally impressive--moist, tender, and packed with flavor. What stood out most was the incredible smoky aroma that hit before each bite, making it even more irresistible. For dessert, the Blackberry Lemon Bread Pudding was the perfect finish. Soft, warm, and bursting with flavor, it was a standout ending to an already exceptional meal.

Five of us came here for a birthday (the b-day girl requested cutesy Nashville rooftop with a view). We sat on the third floor and there was a decent view of Nissan Stadium and the river.
