    Pommes purée
    Sarah A.

    I must admit that I had very high expectations for Lion's Share, and although most of my experience matched that expectation, some of it fell a bit flat. I came for a casual date night with my husband and the vibes were on point with the restaurant's proclaimed "luxe tavern" charm. The service did truly stand out as one of Nashville's best, and the cocktails were exceptionally crafted and tasty, but the food wasn't as well balanced as I had hoped. COCKTAILS -Another Taylor Burton fling: fruity with heavy bitter notes; my husband preferred this drink -Spicy coriander margarita: I loved this spiced, tongue-tingling drink so much I ordered a second! RAW -Hokkaido Scallop: as a dill-enthusiast I was excited when I saw this dish come to the table, but disappointment quickly overtook. Perhaps the scallops we had were just not that sweet, but the citrus sauce was too bitter for my taste and canceled out any sweetness I have come to expect from a good raw scallop presentation. SNACKS -bread and butter: I love a good cultured butter, but this one was a little too chilled to spread on the soft bread without smashing it a bit, hindering its fluffiness. -grilled avocado: it was okay, but not memorable and not worth $16 for half baked/grilled avocado. My portion was gray/rotten once I cut into the inside. Hard to tell which parts aren't perfect when using a whole avocado. -pommes purée: literal perfection. Creamy, starchy, and the perfect compliment to a bite of steak. FROM THE HEARTH: -asparagus: first of all, the sauce is my new favorite thing in the world. I ate it with the pommes purée, the filet, AND the salmon. I'd dip French fries in this sauce. It's so good. However, the asparagus was nearly inedible. On a scale of raw/0-10, it was a 1, like it was barely blanched. -king salmon: delicate and silky with a subtle smoky outer layer of crunch. One of the best preparations of salmon I can remember being served at a restaurant. -filet (medium rare): so tender and delicious but paired incorrectly in my opinion. The sauce had too many contrasting herbs to feel balanced and I couldn't quite grasp what flavor concept I was supposed to be tasting. Overall, I would come back for the service, cocktails and some dishes, but would order more intentionally while well informed next time.

The lighting, furniture, and wallpaper all come together perfectly and give the space a really stylish but comfortable vibe. There's also plenty of room inside, which makes it easy to relax without feeling cramped. Now let's talk about the food... because wow. 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.

I've heard a lot about the food but I haven't tried it yet. My drink was from the happy hour menu and they had a good selection. It was okay. The staff was super nice. We didn't get to stay too long since they had a private event so we had to leave. It seems like a pretty good spot with pool tables.

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!

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!!

    Someone bring out Maggie so I can kiss her!!!…read more In all serious, what a gem of a place. Los Angeleno here visiting her dad and we showed up just before 9pm on Christmas Eve-Eve. It was Taco Tuesday and they were doing Buy One Get One Free tacos + $6 margaritas and $4 drafts! You need a f@&%ing time machine to get a deal like that in Los Angeles and even then, it likely wouldn't be half as good as what we had here for the price. Stephanie was a rockstar, super funny and sweet and attentive. We got hella food: - Guacamole ($10) was limey and fresh and delicious - Elote Dip ($12) it was giving chilled esquites but if it were closer to a cowboy-caviar type salad. sooo good. - Chicken Wings ($22) the mesquite rub was a little salty if I'm honest, but the wings were super juicy. We got them grilled! - Caesar salad ($12) tasty, but a lot of dressing. Next time I'd get it on the side! Personal preference. - TACOS! The pastor pork belly was SO good, especially with the pineapple tidbits. The steak, shrimp, and chicken were excellent. My dad loved his cheeseburger taco the best and I thought the fish taco was pretty good (perhaps a touch dry but the slaw and sauce made up for it). Literally no complaints. Each one was better than the last. - Two rounds of sweet, tangy, Tajin-rimmed margaritas. Good god, these were delicious. The place itself is adorable. There's a whole outside yard with sports on, cornhole, and plenty of tables to hang out with friends, family, and I think even your dog (we saw a precious one!). I think they literally turned a house into a restaurant space, and they maintained some of the original elements for a really homey feel. They kept the fireplace, garage door, front porch--the whole place feels cozy and inviting. Lots of TVs for sports fans but it was pretty quiet inside (likely due to the holiday season) and the music was great, too. They were all decorated for Christmas, which I thought was an awesome touch. Big shouts to Ian and to Stephanie for a wonderful experience. I'm so glad this place is less than 10 minutes from my dad's place. I'll be coming back here every time I visit! I hope they stay open for a long, long time.

A friend and I stopped by around 4 PM on a Thursday evening to take advantage of their "Golden Hour" specials. There's a good amount of space to spread out if you have a bigger group, but we just grabbed a few seats at the bar. 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.

Prices for a glass of wine are reasonable as is (I mean, where can you expect to spend less than 14/glass in most cities these days, no less Nashville?), but the Golden Hour is the luxardo cherry on top. We sat at the bar for some late afternoon spritzes and enjoyed speaking with the very knowledgeable owner. His version of a Hugo Spritz is literal perfection.
