I was visiting from Austin and this place was at the top of my list and it totally delivered. The oysters with the kiwi were out of control good. And the focaccia with black sesame butter was a star. Also, painkillers are my fave drink and this place has textbook example of one and shows why they are my fave. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Great service too. read more

Fishmonger - Focaccia with Black Sesame Butter - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I thought all of the food here- oysters, smoked fish dip, grouper sandwich, hot fish sandwich, were absolutely fantastic and unique. I would love to see them grow into a larger space that doesn't feel like you just come upon it and could pass by it without really noticing- it's too good for that. I also really enjoyed their cocktails and N/A options- everything paired extremely well with the food and were unlike anything I've ever had before. read more

We're always in the mood for oysters ! These ones are super yum. The server said they're still pretty new so I'm looking forward to seeing the future dishes in their menu. Highly recommend this place for a date night. The ambiance was great and the oysters were fresh. There is also a really nice bar that is conveniently located downstairs to keep your conversations going after dinner. Will defo come back read more

Fishmonger - Their take on an espresso martini. 9.3/10 delicious! - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Went to dinner in Germantown on Monday 4/20. It was my first time and I was excited to try it after they got our reservation mixed up at the new Wedgewood Houston location. Our server was just... odd. It felt like they grabbed someone off the street and asked him to wait tables on his first day on earth. He would just hover awkwardly. Stop talking midway through a sentence (maybe stoned? Who knows). Couldn't remember our orders. He told us oysters were half off but when we got the check and it didn't reflect that, he said "Oh my bad I was wrong. They weren't half off. They were $6 off." Which, when you're ordering something like oysters that's on the pricier side, that's a huge difference. Why are they not checking that before service starts? He also kept getting our checks mixed up (mind you we were only a 4 top and there were only 2-3 other tables at the time in the whole place). It was not a busy night. They also served my friend her cocktail in a cracked glass - which could have been so dangerous if it shattered while she was drinking it. And additionally they seemed to be out of all bread other than sandwich buns?? I struggled with the stars because the food and drinks were genuinely the only good thing about the experience. But everything else was just plain weird. read more

Vibe was a little off but ok experience. Felt a little uncomfortable to be honest so we got food to go. Chef Set oysters were different but liked them. read more

I didn't realize Monday night they only have a limited menu, so the only thing available from their normal menu is the grouper sammie and Caesar. I got the sandwich and side Caesar anyway. It's was INCREDIBLE. So so so tasty. I got it for pick up. Although I ate it within 5 minutes of picking it up, the bottom bun was basically mush. If you're doing take out, maybe see if they can put the fish on the side so the bun stays good. But regardless... it was delicious. It's also a cute place. Next time, I'll try and eat there. read more

Fishmonger Nashville is the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. Located in the very cool new Neuhoff district in Germantown, Fishmonger packs lots a great flavors into a casual menu. The smoked fish dip is incredible -- creamy, smoky, and impossible to stop eating. The blackened grouper Caesar salad is packed with flavor and has just the right kick, and the hamachi crudo is fresh, bright, and beautifully done. And don't even think about leaving without trying the key lime pie -- easily the best I've ever had. Tart, smooth, crumbly crust, and the perfect finish to the meal. Owner Skip is awesome -- warm, welcoming, and clearly loves what he does. Fishmonger feels like a little coastal escape right in Nashville. Can't wait to go back. read more

Tucked in an open corner of the Neuhoff Building, this place may have a small interior, but the vibrant colors give it a lively, welcoming vibe. I tried the Passion of the Spritz, which had chocolate bitters, and I could definitely taste the chocolatey notes! For food, I had the Black Grouper Sandwich. Despite looking a bit charred, it didn't taste burnt at all. I also ordered the chef set oysters which were $22 (6 oysters), which is $4 pricier than the market oysters due to the creative toppings. The kiwi, oil, and citrus foam added a fun sweet and sour twist, which I wasn't expecting. It's definitely different from the usual oysters, and I appreciate the chef's innovative spin. However, in all honesty, I think I would have preferred the oysters without the toppings. read more

Insanely expensive margarita, but also the best margarita I've ever had so I think it's okay!! With tax and included tip, each marg came out to a little over $20. Yeesh! But this melon margarita with midori was PERFECT!! It was incredibly strong first of all, but you can't taste the tequila, so it is a bit dangerous, but a fun kind of a dangerous lol. It's this fun neon yellow color and comes in a glass mug. It is SO refreshing! Also fishmonger is incredibly cute inside, and feels way too cool to be in Nashville (respectfully). Would return for the marg! Great service too. read more

Great food and excellent service. Done done and done. Go back soon. I have to add 85 characters

Vibes were fantastic, perfect date spot. We got the mussels which were phenomenal and the brown butter potatoes which might have been my favorite potatoes in Nashville. It was our second time getting the oysters and we keep coming back for them. The staff is so nice and informative, we 100% will keep coming back. read more

Friendly staff, very good food and in a really cool spot. Recommend the lobster roll for sure!

absolutely everything was top-notch -primo-delicious. Going back for dinner tonight. We got a recommendation from a local friend of ours and we were not disappointed. It really is awesome. read more

Interesting setting, short menu, excellent product, expertly cooked, pleasant informal but very attentive service. We went for lunch on a Wednesday, was moderately busy. It is in a very open part of one of the reused massive factories of this area, all the walls and ceilings are concrete. Wondering if when it's very busy if it might get noisy. Very small kitchen, looked not much bigger than a large closet. Amazing what they can do from it. Long bar with a kind of Rat Pack era Vegas look. Usual custom cocktail list. Made me want to come back some evening to try a couple, along with a couple of things off the raw bar menu - oysters, shrimp, a couple of different crudo options. I had the hot fish sandwich, beautiful catfish filet, broiled, glistening with red chili oil. Very spicy at first, but as it cooled got less so. Eating it with bites of the chopped lettuce and very nice bun that it sat on made for a very tasty combination. I'd get it again, but after I tried the tuna melt, which the waiter said is fantastic. My buddy had the chowder, which he said was tasty but didn't have enough of the melange of seafood listed in its menu description. Lots of potato chunks though. We also shared the beet salad and buttered fingerling potatoes, both well prepared. Disappointed that they didn't have ice tea. Moderately priced, my sandwich, side, and coke came to about $30 Before tip. read more

Sat at the bar for lunch today. Great service, great food, fun atmosphere. Food is a little pricey, but everything was delicious and tasted very fresh--worth the price. read more

Fishmonger - Caesar salad-add blackened grouper - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We like spicy food. We love chowder and have eaten it in New England and California coastal towns as well as a lot of places in between those locations. The food here was so bad that it was not edible. The chowder was brown water with an oil slick on top. I'm familiar with Manhattan style chowder, which is more brothy. This was neither Manhattan chowder nor traditional cream based chowder. It was a bowl of brown water with oil on top. And the only thing it tasted like was HOT. We love spicy food but this was palate blowing HOT. We also ordered a blackened grouper sandwich. After removing the large piece of brown lettuce, I still gave it a try. I didnt know HOT was a flavor but apparently it is because that is the only thing I registered as I chewed the one bite i took. Ordered a glass of red wine and for heavens sake it was served chilled. That was sad for this red wine lover. But I would have completely ignored the iced red wine, had we just been able to eat ANYTHING. That food had so much spice on it that my hands burned after i touched the grouper when i picked up the sandwich to take a bite. There was also a dish that was called coleslaw. Lets not even speak of it... smh. With so much restaurant competition in that area of Nashville along the river, and being in a very trendy looking spot, I certainly expected that their food would be edible. Not sure how they stay in business. It was that bad. We paid the full check, but first told them it was literally inedible. We asked for the check less than five minutes after they brought our food to the table. No gracious reduction in bill was offered. Boo. I do NOT recommend read more

I only leave a review when the place is really good or really bad. This was AMAZING. blackened fish sandwich was the best fish I ever tasted. The lobster roll and drinks are also great. read more

Let me start with the positives the oysters were good and the vibes are nice. I would recommend trying the oysters and that's all. My reasoning.... one word. MID. For the price charged it does not justify the portions and the taste as well. The taste I can't say enough how unimpressed I was by the flavor not to mention the soggy bun. There are plenty of better restaurants just be careful because Nashville yelp can be deceiving. P.S if you are ever in Chattanooga go to Uncle Larry's best catfish you'll ever have. read more

Quaint spot fantastic food great service. The blackened grouper sandwich was superb. Smoked whitefish dip delicious . Real deal Keylime pie! We're only in town for a couple of days but we're going back. Was a little hard to find with the street issue but worth the effort. read more

Amazing service and great food! We had friends in town and decided to try Fishmonger since it's newer and we were craving seafood. We got the Murder Point, AL oysters to share and they were great, I also got the Caesar salad and blackened grouper sandwich and they were also great. I'll defiantly come back. I wish I remembered the names of all who helped us but it was a group effort and everyone was friendly. Ambiance was cool and eclectic great music and vibes . read more

I've never tried raw oysters until I went here. They were sooo good. I can't wait to go back for more. The fish sandwich was good also.

We loved Fishmonger. The location is fantastic, and the building is gorgeous. The restaurant itself is Brooklyn-cool and just a fun place to enjoy a meal. The real star, though, is the fabulous food. We tried the razor clams, the chef set oysters, the lobster roll, and the chowder. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. I mean really delicious -- like award-winning chef delicious. We also tried the Key Lime Pie, which we were told is brought in from a bakery in Atlanta. I'm not a judge of Key Lime Pie, but this one seemed pretty tasty to us. All in all, Fishmonger is an awesome edition to the ever-growing Nashville food scene. read more

Place was hard to find but worth the search. Fun vibe Tasty preparations. Good price. Good liquor options good friendly service.

A $43 lobster roll? Are you kidding me? This place had been recommended to us, and it is indeed situated in a gorgeous setting with very impressive architecture. That is about the nicest thing I can say about this restaurant. The menu is tiny, and half of it is a raw bar. My husband and I don't eat raw fish, so the menu was a problem for us. Also, no hard seltzers and no light beer. So if you are trying to keep your calories down, you will have to drink water. We ordered the fish dip, which was mediocre at best, and it came with 4 half-slices of bagel crisps. We had to ask for more. My husband had the chowder, which was also mediocre. The blackened grouper sandwich was recommended, as it had been prepared with their "New Bay" spices. For $23, we got a fish sandwich and a pickle. Nothing on the side, unless you want to count the little pickle sliver. The "New Bay" spice was essentially the Chinese five-spice combination, and I didn't like it at all. I wish they would have told me it was prepared with fennel and cloves and star anise, and I would have ordered something else (the shrimp cocktail or a salad would have been the only thing left for me to order). So based on the lack of variety of refreshments, the tiny menu, the super high prices, the "New Bay" spices on the blackened grouper, this place gets a big thumbs down from me. read more

Food and service was phenomenal. I've always been for the lunch scene and it's the best. 10/10 on the chefs choice oysters !

Food was good, but the price seems high for the amount/quality. Service was adequate for the small dinning area. The drinks were fun and the area/building was awesome. Would recommend more for a drink/snack date night place than a full dinner read more

The service is not good at all. It was my third time there and it's always the same. After 15min of sitting at a table, a waitress finally came to us. Just a welcoming gesture would've made the difference. read more
