The answer is...the answer. Eric R. randomly selected Answer on a list of restaurants we scrolled…read morethrough to make a reservation for on our first night in Nashville this week. 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!

Ok so, I was fully prepared to give a 4 star review because of how difficult it was for us to find…read moreparking (even the community center was full, we found 1 spot about a 10 minute walk away). 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!!

The…read moresalmon was cooked to perfection: crispy on the outside and beautifully medium rare on the inside (exactly how it should be done). The arugula, pecan, and apple salad was lightly dressed and super fresh, which balanced everything out so well. And the real standout? The shrimp and grits. Hands down the best I've ever had. Those pepper jack cheese grits took it to another level -- rich, creamy, and just the right amount of kick. Can't wait to come back! We reheated our leftovers in the air fryer. Chefs kiss!

Convenient free valet parking (you can even call your car right from your phone!) makes the whole experience easy from the moment you pull up. Inside, it's cozy, warm, and welcoming. Plenty of seating at the bar and bar area, and everyone I interacted with was genuinely kind. The happy hour menu is extensive: beer, wine, cocktails plus a great food selection with lots of vegetarian options. I tried the Sunset Margarita with pomegranate juice. Delicious with a real kick! For food, I enjoyed the hummus with vegetables topped with a fantastic pesto, and the Margherita pizza, which had a very thin crust and wonderful flavor. My friend ordered the pepper jack grits and green chili mac and cheese, both incredibly comforting with good heat. From the regular menu, I also tried the pear cocktail, which was absolutely delightful and such an original flavor profile. Seating was comfortable and relaxed, and service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to plan a small gathering there for next week. The manager immediately set everything up, and I'm confident we'll have a wonderful time.

If you're looking for a rooftop that truly understands the assignment, this is it…read more Located on the 25th floor of the Grand Hyatt Nashville in downtown Nashville, this spot has one of the best rooftop views in the city. The moment those elevator doors open, it feels like you've stepped into the skyline itself.The bar setup both inside and outside is absolutely beautiful. The indoor space is polished and vibrant, and once you step out onto the rooftop, the views completely light up the atmosphere. Day or night, the city feels close enough to touch. Sunset up there? Elite. Nighttime? It turns into a glittering panorama that makes every cocktail taste a little better. The vibe is effortlessly cool without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you can dress up a little, sip something classy, and just soak it all in. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience feel amazing Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to see Nashville from a different perspective, this rooftop is always a good idea. Great views, great energy, great people. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the city.

It took me a couple of years but I finally made it to the rooftop of the Grand Hyatt. It's every…read morebit as attractive and well-appointed as you might imagine by the address. Despite the hotel setting, it feels a bit more 'for the locals' than lower Broad does these days. So whether you are entertaining out of town guests or want to have drinks Downtown, this just might be the spot you're looking for. I had something to celebrate and I wanted to do so in style. It was mid-spring and the weather was perfect so I wanted to take advantage of the short window. I took a ride share to the hotel bc ain't no one got time for Downtown parking rates and bee-lined it to the Lou/Na elevator at the back of the lobby. Once I hit the rooftop, my Friday night began. The atmosphere is every bit as dark, moody (in a good way) and smartly-illuminated as expected. Since I was here for views and good weather, I asked the hostess for an outdoor table. She obliged and I was soon perched along the edge of the roof, staring into the twinkling lights of our ever-expanding skyline. It was well-past the dinner hour and I was craving something sweet. After chatting with my helpful server, I decided on the creme brulee and an espresso martini. Both were excellent. The brulee had a perfect crust and delectable custard that paired well with the martini that veered closer to dry than sweet. I appreciated that. It showed effort went into making the cocktail. I was in my own head so I minded my business and didn't do too much people watching. Despite the time of year and good weather, the roof wasn't too packed. It wasn't empty but it wasn't bustling. That was fine by me but I'm sure the management would disagree. I would point out that Lou/Na has gotten even more popular since when I visited so I'm confident that the crowd on good weather nights has increased. If that's your thing, head over on a Friday. If not, check it out during the week. But if well-made cocktails in a beautiful environment outside the madness of Lower Broad but still Downtown is on your radar, you know where you need to go and what to do. Lou/Na should be in your rotation.

Sat at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender. Hit it early, so not a lot of people in the restaurant. I ordered the bocadito de jamon and the patatas bravas - $13 total.

Your mileage may vary. I have been back here one time since, due to my financial advisor wanting to meet me in person. We did the group menu option that time where you choose a few items from each category.

I had a power dinner with a friend who is coming into my business... it was his first time eating Korean food, and Onda blew him away ! We started with a seafood pancake, which we split ...absolutely delicious ~ with a nice dipping sauce on the side Drinks from the bar were very nicely prepared Then we moved on to the best Kalbi I have ever eaten in my life and I've eaten a lot of Kalbi even in LA!! They call it LA Kalbi here. Being a business dinner I sure wanted to impress so I also ordered a plate of beef, Bulgogi and spicy pork Bulgogi both ROCKED ~ all three meats came out on sizzling iron plates All of the sides were as good as anything I've ever had, including the kimchi, which was extra special This is a VERY Classy, upscale, wonderful Korean restaurant with food that is impossibly good !

The flavor was really well balanced! I had just the right amount of spice without being overwhelming, paired with a subtle sweetness that made it super enjoyable to keep eating. It came out on a sizzling plate, which not only kept everything hot but also added a nice touch to the presentation and overall experience. The portion size was very generous, which I always appreciate. I ended up having enough leftovers for lunch the next day, and it held up really well! The restaurant itself was clean and had a nice, comfortable atmosphere. Nothing over the top, but definitely a place you can sit down and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. That said, the experience wasn't perfect. The side dishes were a bit limited compared to what I was expecting, especially if you're used to a wider variety. Service was also on the slower side. The staff was friendly and polite, but it did take a few attempts to get their attention when I needed a water refill or wanted a to-go box. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it's something that could definitely be improved. Overall, I'd still recommend Onda if you're looking for flavorful Korean dishes and generous portions. Just be prepared for a more relaxed pace of service. I'd come back again, especially for that spicy pork bulgogi!

I loved building my own tacos with all the fun toppings. They even brought us more shells when we still had meat & toppings leftover. And more chips when we still had guac in the pestal & mortar (which was super cute). I loved the vibe of the place - chic but not so chic I felt out of place (because no one would call me chic for good reason). I loved the glow of the pink neon - created a fun vibe.

The $6 margaritas were so good that we each ended up getting three. I especially loved the salt rim, which really made the margaritas for me. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and honestly one of the better happy hour margarita deals I've had in Nashville. Food-wise, the smoked mac and cheese and pork tacos were both incredible. Comforting, flavorful, and way better than what you typically expect from happy hour food. It was one of those meals where you're already planning what you'll order next time while you're still eating. This was actually my second visit. The first time was for dinner when my parents, aunt, uncle, and cousin were in town, and that experience was great too. Both visits have been solid in totally different ways, which says a lot. Overall, such a worthwhile happy hour spot, especially if you're local and want good drinks, good food, and a fun vibe without breaking the bank. Looking forward to my next visit.
