Best Date Night Restaurants in Nashville - Eater Nashville

A stroll around idyllic Sylvan Park, post-dinner makes a fine finish." - Kellie Walton, Eater Staff

13 Best Places to Eat Meatballs in Nashville | Eater Nashville

"Every culture has a different word for meatball. The Mexican variety — pronounced “al-bon-di-gas” — may be the most fun to say, and to eat if you do it at answer. Made from dry-aged beef, bacon and garlic, they’re packed with umami, which means they stand up to punchy finishes like piquant tomato sauce, salty queso fresco, herbaceous chimichurri and crunchy almonds. Tip: Go ahead and ask for extra bread to sop up the zesty leftover sauce." - Ashley Brantley

East Nashville Is the Hottest Neighborhood In the Hot-Chicken City | Bon Appétit

"For all the strides Nashville has made, our culinary scene has room to grow. Love Filipino food? It’s only just taking off here. Want good Sichuan beyond hot pot? Drive to Memphis. Thank God forPeninsula, which stepped into our Iberian breach and filled it with textbook-perfect Spanish small plates, creative gin and tonics, and a pan con tomate that is obscene, but in a good way, layered thick with tomatoes and nigella seeds. Chef Jake Howell is afraid of neither squid nor sweetbreads on his menu, and he deploys them simply: the former with beans, the latter deep inside an eggy morcilla crepe." - BySTEVE CAVENDISH

This is a buzzing quaint establishment tucked in a quiet neighborhood. This is the place to be for Happy Hour! I was there to catch up with an old friend and was pleasantly impressed by the food selections and SEASONED food! Delish!! Dessert receives ⭐️ 10 ⭐️

My best friend and I come here once every couple months for their happy hour and this week we made sure to join for the strawberry margarita! We got there about 45 minutes until happy hour would end and knew trying to get three of us in would be difficult but they were so nice and we sat at the waiting bench outside and the weather was so nice it was actually a perfect situation. They let us start our orders and brought us the happy hour drink while we waited. Thank you guys!!

Answer was our go-to spot for years. Hands down best all around restaurant in Nashville. The food is great, cocktails (bourbon specifically) are perfection, but the staff completely make it the special place that it is. We just moved away from Nashville, and answer is one of the things we will miss most! Victoria has absolutely killed it with her restaurant. Love you, answer + team!

My friend and I enjoyed the food at answer. She got the burger, and I got the trout. My vodka drink was decent, but the chocolate torte was very good. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is how incredibly loud the restaurant was. By far the loudest dining experience I have had in Nashville.

My first time eating here tonight and it was excellent. I’ve been wanting to go for over a year and finally made the trip such a delightful range of appetizers main courses and the atmosphere was incredible. The service top-notch the owner came over and visited with our Which added a very nice perspective. I’ll definitely be back

Great neighborhood restaurant with an elevated experience. Potentially best happy hour in town - drinks, snacks, vibe, prices. But I’m here to review their twice weekly “takeaway” option. Excellent, restaurant quality, meal to enjoy at home. Often 3 or 4 courses (main, side, salad, dessert) and each part is a hit. It’s affordable to boot (~$50 or under for a 2 person portion, and we’re big eaters).

Best restaurant in Nashville. Thank me later. Definitely a neighborhood gem. The food - we ordered many small plates - was incredible! Drinks were really good, too.

We had a really great experience. The food was all phenomenal. We tried the goat cheese, and I had the burger with blackberry jam and duck fat fries. They both really stood out, but for me the most exceptional part of the meal was the cocktail. I had the "Bourbon" which was their take on an old fashioned and it was incredible! I'd definitely recommend. My only issue is that it felt like everything was just a couple dollars more than it needed to be. It was still a great experience, but a little on the pricier side

Tucked away on an unassuming street corner in Sylvan Park, you might drive right past the place if you weren't looking for it. Thankfully, crowd-sourced review sites discover such culinary jewels. It was our second experience at this wonderful restaurant known as "answer.", indeed Nashville's best answer to the question "What is your favorite American tapas restaurant?"! Answer. is truly a neighborhood eatery just as the founders intended in 2017, filling a culinary void between the sparse offerings on Murphy Road and the vast restaurant scene on Charlotte Pike. This tapas experience manages to be simultaneously upscale yet affordable, high-class but budget-friendly. Three in our party of four were professional chefs and gave the food rave reviews, so you know it's good! Their arancini is one of the best things I've eaten in Nashville! Like all dishes on this ever-changing menu, this was modified from its native form, clearly inspired by the popular Italian appetizer but uniquely transformed by the chef. You'll slice through a deep-fried crispy exterior to reveal tender rice. But other flavors and textures treat your taste buds with fatty ground pork at the center. The king salmon is perhaps the best piece of fish I've ever had in my 30 years in Nashville, slightly crisped on the outside, tender and flaky, full of flavor, and perfectly prepared. Unfortunately, since this was the nightly special (August of 2024), it may not appear on the menu when you go. The trout is another great option that's more consistently offered, as are the meatballs. The mussels are fabulous with a flavorful broth, but the fresh rye bread that accompanies the mussels is one of the restaurant's best-kept secrets! And the dessert menu is one of my favorites in the city with nothing but great options. Answer. even offers meal packages for takeout on Wednesdays and Sundays!

I really enjoyed this place overall! They have a great happy hour that I'll definitely be back for! The food was tasty and filling. I will say I knocked one star off because I was just kinda confused about the cuisine - it was Italian, Asian, Mexican, etc which threw me off a bit haha but again overall tasty! Ambiance was nice! Very well decorated and lively, service was friendly and attentive. Will be back!

Answer is a consistently positive experience, whether it's happy hour or dinner. I've enjoyed all of the food I've had from here, and the drinks are on point. Service is excellent. There's plenty of street parking nearby.

The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the mussels and the broth was so good I could have drank it straight from the bowl. Then for dinner I had the chicken. It was one of the best chickens I have had in Nashville. I highly recommend. My fiancé had the burger which was also really good. The jalapeño blackberry jam was a great addition to the burger. The ambiance was very nice and quaint.

Amazing happy hour menu! Everything is $6 and super delicious. The interiors are modern and well-kept. Would recommend getting there early for happy hours (4:30-6 pm Tues-Sat) since there is limited seating around the bar! Parking behind the restaurant or street parking in nearby neighborhoods.

Always great. One of my favorite places in Nville. I make reservations and always arrive super early and they always have a way to get us placed even when the place looks like the Fire Marshall would be angry. Wonderfulness service means you don't need a table to have a fantastic meal.

This place is incredible. The ambiance is intimate but casual and the servers are all very personable. We got a number of appetizers to share - my favorite was surprisingly the one with tofu and candied peanuts. And the bourbon house cocktail was delightful.

I've been going to this gem of a restaurant in Sylvan Park since it opened and went back recently to see if it was still as good as it used to be. Thankfully the only thing that has changed about Answer is that it is now constantly packed with people. The food is still just as good as the day it opened and the menu is only more innovative as time progresses. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for quality food at a great price. I think I have tried everything on the menu at some point or another and have never been disappointed. Definitely make a reservation because this place is usually packed.

Met my youngest for dinner a few nights back at answer. and had a great experience. Would recommend. answer. is a nice little restaurant on 46th avenue in the Sylvan Park area. Super tiny parking lot, so likely will be street parking, but not too hard to find one within a close proximity. There is a small patio for outdoor dining and the main room is tables around a huge bar, which was crowded when we arrived (happy hour). Atmosphere? Very contemporary and a bit loud. Not the spot for a quiet date, especially when happy hour is on and the bar is jam packed. They have an open air kitchen along the back of the restaurant, so you can see the chef and cooks working their magic on the other side of the room. I like this touch. Service? Very good. Bethany, our server, had a lot of tables, but was very observant when we needed something. I was thankful when she boxed up the rest of the whipped cheese, as it made a wonderful second "meal". Drinks? I started with their bourbon cocktail, which is a bit sweeter than I would normally go with a cocktail, but nicely done. For the record, I would opt for cocktails at Hathorne or Common Ground before answer. but the happy hour specials might be worth it. I also grabbed a glass of Tempranillo, which is a wine I have not tried before. Dry and rather bold, but a nice complement to the steak. Food? We started out with albondigas (meatballs) and whipped cheese with peaches. Meatballs are beatifully done with a spicy sauce to complement them. But the whipped cheese with peaches is the star of the appetizer show. I would have gotten arincini, as well, as I loved it at Tutti da Gio, but did not want to take that much food home. For our meal, she got the trout and I got the steak. The trout was nicely done, although a bit overdone on the edges. Fortunately, not to the point the filets were super chewy. The Brussels on the plate were wondeful and it was nicely plated. Of the two sauces, the green sauce was more pleasing. The steak was beautifully cooked and topped with a wonderful chimichuri crema. The green beans were lightly cooked and had a bacon jam on them. The potato was cooked very nicely, although with my diabetes I did not eat much of it. Dessert was a strawberry rhubarb crisp with lemoncello gelato on top. I love the tartness of the rhubarb with the granola like crisp and sweet strawberries. I would definitely recommend if this is your type of dessert. Overall, I found the experience to be worthy of a return trip, but there are other places in the same basic price point I find a bit nicer (About $75-$80 per person with appetizer, dessert, and drinks). I was torn on 4 or 5 stars, as the trout was the only hiccup in the entire meal.

We visited Answer on 7/15/24 to enjoy a special occasion meal. This was our second visit so we were not unaware of their ambiance, menu style, and price points. Our server, Danielle, was gracious, attentive and efficient. Our food arrived in a timely manner given the amount of patrons and was both tasty and well presented. My concern is with the severity of cross contamination and lack of hand washing/ sanitization which I witnessed from the kitchen staff. Answer has an open production line so the actions/activities of the staff are easily visible. Sadly, the lack of food safety training and/or follow-up of expectations by the owners is putting all patrons at some level of risk. Jack R.

NOT MY CUP OF TEA Say you're not from Nashville or the South without saying it. It was apparent during our visit that the proprietors of this eatery are not from around these parts and thought they could pull one over on this Nashville native. Well, I've walked out of restaurants over cleaniliness and service before, but this time might win the prize as it was all over a glass of tea. There are few sacred culinary items you just don't mess with here in the South and iced tea is one of them. I can sniff out past-its-prime or commissary Vitality Tea a mile away. So imagine my horror when hubby and I went to answer for date night, ordered tea while perusing the menu, and they brought out a glass of ice and a bottle of Pure freaking Leaf tea! We were appalled. "The kitchen is very small, so we don't have room for one of those big coffee/tea makers back there. But this is very good..." the waitress offered. We responded with, "no. thank you" and then "we're going to need a minute." During that minute, we discussed not whether to get up and leave but, rather, exactly how much to offer as to why. We simply told our server on the way out, "hey, we're taking off." She ran to the hostess stand to report that someone actually had the chutzpah to call them on this beverage travesty, I'm guessing, as they were all huddled together up there as we exited. So, the real question is: if they're cutting corners on something as low key as freshly-brewed iced tea, what else are they compromising on back there? And, are you charging $3 or $3.50 for a $1.79 bottle of gas station tea and then how do refills work? Y'all, I don't care if you have to get a Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker, you can find 6" of spare space back in that kitchen of yours to make proper tea. And now I'm wondering what the coffee situation is. Hard pass. Do better.

My go-to spot for celebrations or a must whenever family comes to town. The food is phenomenal here & always hits a 10 on the flavor scale. The service is top tier and the waiters are extremely helpful with suggestions. My favorite thing is the fresh fish with gnocchi. Everything is made in house which you can totally tell given how fresh and flavorful everything is. We tried the ceviche and it was very good. They give you a full avocado topped with ceviche. The portions are generous. The burger always hits the spot! They change the menu in-between seasons so that the menu stays relevant. Their cocktails are also great! My favorite is the gin lavender drink. Street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods is plentiful so no need to stress. Make a reservation on weekends as it does get busy! They have an okay happy hour menu!!

Great food, great service. The mushrooms were amazing and probably my favorite thing on the menu. The bucatini was the show stopper. Everyone recommended this, and I am so happy that I ordered it. Others ordered the poke and described as phenomenal. Will absolutely return!

Wow! This place is a hidden gem that not a lot of people talk about. Everything I had from the cocktails to the food and service was amazing! Bucatini: This was the number one recommended food item and it did not disappoint! That lamb and beef ragu was flavorful and the pasta was perfectly al-denote and went well with the sauce. Must get this!! The bread crumbs on top was a great topping to the dish. Fried chicken: This surprised me because I was thinking that it was just a normal fried chicken and may be a little dry but it was the opposite! The chicken was sooo juicy and it was perfectly fried And lightly seasoned. The sambal aioli was really good and impressive and paired super well with the chicken. The slaw was so refreshing to finish off the the meal. Pesto pasta With chicken: very fresh pesto, so fresh you can taste the basil and pine nuts. Another great refreshing dish and I highly recommend it. For cocktails, I got the vodka with peach bitters and it was good. Light, Refreshing, slightly fruity. Parking - there's a lot in the back, but it doesn't have too many spots.

My favorite happy hour in Nashville, hands down and I love that the prices haven't changed ($6 for house red, white, or cava or the cocktail of the moment or any of the food options) despite the pandemic and inflation. For happy hour, arrive between 4:30 and 6 on a weekday and grab a seat at the bar. (Beware: happy hour is ONLY if you are at the bar, so arrive early to guarantee a seat. They don't take reservations for the bar.) If you order wine, the pours are generous and do not taste like bottom-of-the-shelf options. Cava is usually my drink of choice here, but the cocktail options have also always been tasty and not too sweet when I've gotten them. For food: the easy crowd pleasers are the Dip (a sizzling goat cheese / tomato sauce concoction), shisito peppers (beware for an occasional truly spicy one) and the potatoes. On a recent visit I also loved the flatbread for something a little heartier (it's new to the menu but small, so be mindful when ordering.) Service can sometime be slow but I give grace when there are only two bartenders to a packed bar. They are generous with recommendations (and as stated previously, with wine pours.) Parking is easy and free on the street, even for the parallel parking averse. May this wonderful local hang always be tasty and $6 from 4:30 to 6 pm.

I have been here a few times and have enjoyed the meal and service. The atmosphere is nice but it always is super crowded around happy hour. My favorite dish I think was a summer special but it had peaches and goat cheese which was awesome! Excited to go back and try their new seasonal dishes.

Went here for dinner before seeing lights at cheekwood and it was the perfect early dinner! There is happy hour at the bar every night (even Saturday) so that's what we did! Everything we tasted was fantastic bur I especially loved the poke and pasta dish that we ordered. Even though the bar was packed we still got great service, and it was really spacious and cute inside!

My second visit to Answer did not disappoint. The prior visit was just for happy hour which is a great option as well. Went for a double date. Ambiance was great. Restaurant is lively with a large bar in the center but not too loud to where you can't hold conversation. We started with the muscles, tartare, fried green tomato, and Arancini. Arancini was my favorite- Asian style. Tartare was great but wish it would have been served with bread or crackers For mains 2 of us got the bucatini and the other two got steak. Both phenomenal dishes. Bucatini was a large portion and very generous portion of meat. The steak was perfectly cooked with almost a truffle flavor. Both great options and would order again! For drinks- the Gin was light and refreshing while the tequila had a nice kick to it. You will need reservations in advance. Parking is probably the biggest downside here. Limited street parking and there is a back lot but it fills up easily.

This was our first time coming to Answer during their happy hour, and we were pleased to say the least! Their bar-top happy hour menu serves appetizers and drinks, all for 6 dollars each. Needless to say, we tried just about everything- including the flatbread, hummus plate, goat cheese dip, pretzels and mustard, potatoes, shishito peppers, cab sauv and grapefruit cocktail. All for a great price! Service is timely, waiters give great suggestions and are very friendly. Perfect location for a date, celebration/anniversary, or get together with friends. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. I recommend coming here for bar top happy hour- Monday through Saturday, 4:30-6:00 PM! Otherwise, you won't be disappointed with their diverse and delicious array of cuisine on their daily menu.

Service 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Food 4/5 The tuna tartare: Amazing! I loved the freshness of the dish. It was a great mixture of sour, sweet, and refreshing. The wontons added a nice crunch however we're a little oily I actually preferred it without the wontons. The crab dish: least favorite honestly I had high hopes but it just tasted bland to me. I wish the bread was toasted more and I wish it had some aoili or something to enhance the crab taste just elevate it a little more. Arancini: I loved it though I wish they added seaweed to give it more depth of flavor. It's a very heavy dish but I really enjoyed it! The pork cheeks: 10/10 probably my favorite dish there was nothing I would change. The pork was cooked perfectly had a crunch and then was nice and juicy the coleslaw added the perfect amount of sourness and freshness to compliment the savory umami taste of the pork. The tomato: the fried tomato was good and filing. It's a little hard to cut to share but overall I enjoyed it. I wish it had more sour notes and my friend wished it was just pimento cheese instead of goat cheese. Wasn't my favorite but wasn't bad either. The mussels: Loved ending on this dish! It was light and homey. My boyfriend has had more mussels then I have and he liked them but didn't love them. He wished it had a stronger flavor but I disagree. Extra info: the service is beyond amazing. Each dish came out in a particular ordered to get a symphony of flavors and each dish came right after the other so there was a constant flow of food. If you are going with two people 6 apps was more than enough to get us full. I lowkey wish we ditched the crab dish so I had room for dessert.

Really wanted to love answer but unfortunately, it fell short. I had the scallops which were amazing but extremely small portion for the price. My friends both got the burger and they were both red and cold in the middle to the point where it was inedible. Service felt a little slow. Sadly, wouldn't go back.

I loved this place and can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Nashville. The food was amazing and the cocktails were so good. We only ordered tapas and it was all so, so good. My kid loved the mussels and the crab (which was pretty astounding because they're only so so on crab in general). The fried quail was...chef's kiss... We sat in the heated patio to get away from the noise inside the restaurant. It was cool but not cold and worked just fine for us. The lighting is a little on the low side because of the candles/ambiance so it can be a lovely spot for a date night.

Real nice! We slipped in and found a seat at the bar on a Friday evening before a concert, on a friends recommendation. The atmosphere was lively and loud but not too bad. I will say the bartenders are super busy and not overly friendly and not rude either... food was fabulous was we picked a few appetizers and shared. Great place to mow ole watch and a nice patio! Parking wasn't too difficult but it's situated in a neighborhood(?) on busy street. The Sri is are great!!!

The owner of the restaurant was very rude and unwelcoming. She was working as the host. We were clearly there for happy hour at 5pm. She did not let us know that only the bar tops were for happy hour. She told us we could sit outside if we did not have a reservation. We did not feel like waiting, so we went outside. When we sat down, we realized that normal tables cannot get the happy hour drinks. After we realized this we decided to leave and she said "well I told you those weren't for happy hour," in an extremely rude way. She didn't tell us, but even if she did, that's no way to treat someone that's coming to your restaurant. We were thinking of going back for dinner service, but definitely not now. I'm sure the food is fine, but some hospitality would be nice!

We feasted here for Happy Hour and got away with a super reasonable check! I would pay $6 for these drinks and food any day of the week. We happened to arrive here on cinco de mayo, hoping to avoid the Mexican catina crowds but enjoy a nice casual night out. Mission accomplished. Service was great. Water never empty and drinks were tasty. Mmmm. We got the happy hour cocktail which was a Spicy Paloma. I've had "spicy margaritas" elsewhere in the past and couldn't finish it, it was so strong. But This was perfect!! I didn't get a picture because I was too eager to drink it, but definitely a new favorite!! Highly recommend, the food, drinks, and service were all a win. NOT to mention the bathrooms were clean, well stocked with amazing soap and decent amount of parking. Have fun and enjoy!!

I've come here a couple times after my first review and quite frankly it's just not somewhere I recommend. Would be about a 2.5 star in my personal option but I rounded up. The menu hasn't changed much in over a year & every item we've tried just sort of misses the mark. Somehow most everything doesn't taste fresh, but made previously and then heated. There isn't anything I've tried that I had to have again. Everything is just OK. And man, there are so many great restaurants in Nashville to pay a decent price for just "OK". Also, if you are a table of two, some of their tables are unbelievably tight. To the point where it isn't comfortable and it isn't an enjoyable relaxing meal. People and servers constantly squeezing past you. Cute spot, but food and service fall pretty flat. Not somewhere I'd like to go again.

This place exceeded my expectations WAY beyond anticipation!! I cannot emphasize how delicious everything was that I tasted. We started out with the poke and panzanella salad which were both incredible but honestly I would go back for the salad alone!! It was so fresh and not overwhelming in the slightest. The garganelli pasta was really refreshing but was a bit adventurous for me with the cooked grapes, however the chicken was a huge hit for my partner who loved the flavor. The chicken was a new take on Nashville chicken but less fried so it made for a very hearty but not heavy dish. However, in my opinion, the star of the show was the blondie. I could eat this ice cream everyday all day and as crazy as this is to say, it was probably the best ice cream i've had in my life! After asking if I could buy it, I learned they make it in house - which is even cooler. The ambiance was fairly lively with a small dining space so nothing super special, however the view into the kitchen was neat. Service was solid and always attentive. Can't wait to go back here!

What a fabulous little spot. My friend chose thos establishment for her birthday celebration. They have so many fantastic food options, and the servers are very knowledgeable. The vibes are great as well, kinda moody, and the place was packed on a Thursday night! I will be back. It's a hidden gem for sure. Also, the sea scallops and risotto were brilliant. The scallops were cooked to perfection. The tequila drink was so smooth. The gin and elderflower drink on the menu was wonderful too.

Hands down the BEST happy hour in Nashville PERIODT! After reading my fellow Yelp elite's review, I have decided to give this place a try. The happy hour is supposed to start from 4:30pm Monday to Saturday and We came on a Friday afternoon at 4:32pm, and this place was already PACKED! We had to wait for 40 minutes to get a seat! What impressed me was that the manager came and was apologetic and she asked us if we'd like to order a drink so we did! It was such a nice touch that really showed that they care about their customers. The lime cocktail was to die for and their bread dip with tomato sauce was so Devine I'm still thinking about it. Not to mention everything was $6. It is also worth to note that the ambiance was modern and relaxing. I can't wait to return to try their pasta, it looked amazing!

Think twice before going to happy hour here. We were greeted by the owner who was immediately hostile and unwelcoming. It was like she was mad that we walked into her establishment. I do not recommend unless you want to feel uncomfortable.

Honest to goodness delicious food that you don't mind paying for. We had three apps, scallops, goat cheese and crackers and fried green tomatoes with crab. All were very good. Hubby enjoyed wine, I had mocktail. We split the burger and fries for our entree.

Food: trout was great with two sauces. Mussels was delicious and flavorful. Chicken was not impressive but fine. Chocolate mousse was ordinary Service: good. Food, drinks and desserts were served without waiting. Ambiance: overall the lights and decor were nice but the table was a bit too small for two people. I constantly hit my elbow to the wall.

One of the best meals I've had for a long time. Most everything was excellent. Our server was casual but attentive and friendly.

My wife and I came here for a date night after some friends had recommended it. First impressions walking in were cozy, upscale, social establishment that was meant to provide nice dining with a social cocktail experience. Def a faster vibe and a tad loud for its dynamic but I can see it being a great first stop of the night. We arrived a bit early thinking we could grab a bar seat for a cocktail while we waited. We apparently had just passed happy hour as the location was packed and so we had to wait for a spot to open up. Unfortunately since the establishment is small there was not really any waiting area so this is where things started to feel a little less desirable. Our host did her best to accommodate us at a corner spot of the bar, but it was clear some older regulars were not particularly interested in us being offered a solo seat for my wife while I stood (they pulled the additional bar seat away maybe because it made this lady uncomfortably packed). My wife and I heard an exchange between the lady and manager which was unpleasantly towards us but since my beautiful wife is use to handling uneasy situations well she de-escalated but not without uneasiness that really could have been avoided. The service at the table was very good. The appetizer we ordered was enjoyable, we both ordered the steaks which were above average but had a liquid smoke taste that could have been wood seasonings. I agree with other reviews that some of the drinks were a little too sweet for my taste but all in all they were better than average (our favorite bars include The Fox and Old Glory) I would have given it 4 stars if not for the unwelcome feelings not quickly mitigated by management. ----- Update - The GM reached out to my wife who had made the reservation and I've updated to 4 stars. Next time we go hopefully we'll be able to get in a dessert too and have a less intense experience.

Was visiting Nashville with my boyfriend, so we got dinner with some friends while in town. We decided on Answer and we were happy with our decision. Both the food and the service were good. You probably should make a reservation but we accidentally made ours for the wrong day, but they luckily had a high top for four available. The inside is cute and modern, with lots of table and bar seating. Would be a good option for a date. We ordered the squash, albóndigas, and arincini to share. I enjoyed mostly everything, but I probably wouldn't order the squash again. Bit of a different taste than my liking. For mains, I ordered the bucatini and mezcal cocktail. Both were fantastic. I would 100% get them again. My group also seemed to like what they got. We finished things off with the blondie cookie and s'more dessert. Wowza. Our server was friendly, polite, and checked on us regularly even when the restaurant was buzzing. The rest of the staff we interacted with was equally as nice. Overall, happy with my experience at Answer. I'd recommend.

First time here Tuesday of this week and dear God, I hope not the last. I'm in love! Start to end experience... Parking: not ideal, they have like 3 spots in front on 46th and maybe 10 spots in the parking lot out back. Don't even try. Street parking not fun, but doable. Atmosphere/ambiance: ideal. Super cute/chic/casual all in one. Perfect for happy hour, bringing friends, a date, family or just a nice dinner out. Great vibe and decor. Food: we ordered the panzanella and tomato plates to share. Both stellar but holy s*it that panzanella is good! I will be trying to recreate it at home very soon. It had textures, flavor, freshness and creativity. Kudos to whoever created that dish! The dried blueberries and balsamic set it apart from any other panzanella I've tried. Tomato was also great. I love a fried green tomato so you didn't have to woo me there, but I'm not a huge seafood fan. The lobster on it was perfect-o. Tender, juicy, paired wonderfully with the tart tomato and spicy aioli. Service: lovely. She was kind and knowledgeable. Thank you 100 times over for the panzanella rec. I owe you. Overall: GO. NOW. Absolutely wonderful experience and cannot wait to try more off the menu, and eat that panzanella again...

Food was fantastic but it only took one to ruin our dinner. We went on 9-8-23 and the blonde bartender with her hair up was extremely rude. Example- I asked for hot sauce and she told me they didn't have any as I stared at multiple huge bottles in the kitchen hallway. Asked for another glass of wine and didn't know name, her reaction was how am I supposed to know since it was the other bartender that poured it. I replied can you ask her or look on my tab. Our food came and the adorable girl that brought our food was nice enough to bring me hot sauce. As someone that lives in Nashville and goes out to dinner quite frequently in this town I would not recommend sitting at the bar. We have never experienced such attitude around here.

Perfect date night experience -- amazing service, drinks, vibe, and food. They didn't have any reservations available on a Saturday night, but we were able to grab the last two seats at the bar as soon as we walked in. Kayla was fantastic and took amazing care of us all night. She had great timing, being attentive without overbearing; giving us time to enjoy without neglecting. She also gave great recommendations on both food and drink and overall just helped us have a great night. We took our time and enjoyed one plate at a time, sharing and savoring with drinks. We had the tomato (fried green tomato, lobster, pimento goat cheese, and aioli), with nice big claw chunks of lobster... yummo. The scallops (artichoke risotto, a pea & mint purée, fried fennel, pecorino) were also super tasty. Nicely cooked and all the textures came together nicely. The panzanella surprised me. The blueberries gave it a punch of sweetness, the squash and kale were nicely seasoned, the sweet peppers were fully of roasty goodness, and there was something creamy on the plate that just pulled it all together. We finished with the garganelli that had great balance and the roasted grapes were unique and tasty. We had such a nice time and always love a place where we can taste a bunch of small plates, share, and take our time and enjoy the food, drinks, and company. Thanks answer and Kayla for a great evening. We'll be back!
