Fancypants

Dinner was fantastic tonight at Fancypants! We decided to splurge and get the steak special and everything was incredible! The portions were perfect and the appetizers were incredible (we LOVED the beef tartare) If you are looking for a fun and exciting new date night spot or a girls night out- this is your place!

Hands down the best meal of my life! The atmosphere was immaculate, and the staff was both knowledgeable and amazing. Every course was perfectly paced, making for an unforgettable dining experience. And the food? Absolutely to die for! This place is a MUST—don’t miss out!

The least I can say is phenomenal! Jacob P. did an incredible job with curating my entire dining experience. From the recommended dishes with the nicely paired red wine and the inviting ambience, I can safely say I'll be returning, especially for date nights! Edit: Food, service, and atmosphere are all 5/5! Google won't apply my stars for some reason except the initial 5 stars!

We came here for an anniversary dinner. We were greeted with a complimentary cocktail, then seated. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food-bread, mushrooms, dumplings, steak, and potatoes were phenomenal! Our cocktails and wine were also very good. Prices are appropriate for the quality of service & food.

From the welcoming aperitif to the final bite, every element contributed to a truly memorable birthday celebration. We indulged in two of the prix fixe menus, granting us a delightful six-course veggie forward shared plates. Our server, Emily, really elevated the meal with her attentiveness, providing insightful context and anecdotes that brought each dish to life. The focus on seasonal ingredients and inventive pairings showcased the kitchen's dedication to crafting an exciting and flavorful experience. Each plate was a testament to their skill and creativity. Chef Josh's unexpected appearance with a complimentary dessert, alongside the funfetti cheesecake was extremely thoughtful and a welcomed surprise (who doesn't love a second dessert and time with the chef). Whether for a special occasion or simply an evening of culinary exploration, Fancypants promises a delightful and unforgettable experience.

Service was absolutely incredible! The staff is clearly well-trained and attentive, and I was genuinely impressed with the overall experience. If you're looking for massive portions, this might not be the place—it's more about small plates and a culinary experience, and they do it exceptionally well. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the surcharge for staff dental and health insurance. I don’t mind paying it—it’s great to support the team—but I didn’t notice it mentioned anywhere beforehand. Maybe I missed it? That aside, I love seeing a New York-style restaurant delivering top-notch hospitality here in Nashville. Definitely worth a visit!

We had the BEST experience at Fancy Pants! Every single thing we ate was divine. I especially loved the vodka shells and the avocado with smoked banana. The chicken fried cauliflower was also a huge hit. Service was great and the atmosphere was perfect. We will be coming back! Prices were extremely reasonable considering the quality. You can get fine dining in Nashville that’s as good as Fancy Pants, but you’ll pay double or triple the price. I would recommend this spot to anyone.

Wow. That’s it, wow! Quite possibly the best dining experience we’ve ever had. Went last night for my husbands (big) birthday. We were treated like royalty from the moment we walked in, greeted with a complimentary mulled wine. We sat at the bar and Tiernan took care of us in a way we’ve never experienced before. He was so enthusiastic about not only every dish on the menu, but even down to the tiniest design details. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation asap. Reserve bar top seats. Enjoy a couple of the best hours of your life. Def get the vodka citrus pasta and the Japanese sweet potato. I mean, get everything, but do not ever not get those two items. I hope Tiernan and his supervisors see this review because that man is a GEM!!

Been there twice now. Gosh it was amazing both times. Service, food, emplacement of fun. All awesome. Highlights: Cocktails-their take on a corpse reviver is quite good. Mushrooms, mashed taters, and gravy. The chargrill on them will satisfy those looking for a bit meat-ier take on the menu. The grilled cabbage dish. I thought this was one of the best veggie dishes I've had in Nashville. Awesome. Go. Tell your friends. Great value and fun service.

I came here with my girlfriend for a Christmas dinner, choosing the spot because we heard it was super fun, we're big fans of Butcher and Bee/Red Headed Stranger, and we loved that it offered a coursed-out, vegetarian-friendly menu. The service was absolutely phenomenal. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because of our incredible server--it's truly heartbreaking to write this--but the food was a huge letdown. We kept hoping each course would improve, but it was either bland or just didn't hit the mark. The biggest disappointment was the Cacio e Pepe, which substituted noodles with onions. I even said out loud, "Wow, this would be great on a burger," because it just didn't work at all. Such a cool spot with a great vibe, just wasn't a fan of the food.

Fancypants is nothing short of fancy. When you arrive you receive a free cocktail from the nicest host EVER. I think it's usually champagne but for the holidays they're serving up mulled wine. My friend and I arrived early for our reservation and they found a way to seat us before it at the bar. We were content with waiting but the fact that they even thought about moving us show their level of efficiency and customer service. They sat us at the bar near the kitchen and had the best meal from that moment on.(side note: I love a bar stool with a back and foot rest - the comfiest seating!!) Since we were so flexible with our reservation, the hostess brought over free champagne much to our surprise! Ok ok, let me get to the food... Fancypants is a prix fixe menu where you can either pick 3 dishes for $70 a person or their steak dinner where you split a big boi piece of steak and 2 dishes each for $105. On Sundays they have the menu open for a la Carte so keep that in mind! My friend and I went with the original dinner (which includes no meat FYI!) and each got 3 different dishes so we could split 6! I don't remember everything we got but my standouts are the spicy carrot rigatoni with chili oil on the side, Japanese sweet potatoes, and Napa cabbage. We were served by bartender Samir and what a gem he was! For such a busy night he was engaging and even made my friend a custom cocktail. If you sit at the bar, ask for Samir! He's wonderful. For drink, I went with their old fashioned. I don't think I'd order this again due to how far it starts from the original cocktail, but if you're thinking of dipping your toes in the old fashioned world, this would be a great one to start with! I then had the "plaid pajamas", an apple focused seasonal cocktail. We wrapped up the evening with a slice of the birthday cake cheesecake and dare I say it's the best cheesecake I've had in a looooooong while. If you're thinking it'll be too sweet, they somehow balance the funfetti and classic richness of a cheesecake. I'd go back for another slice alone... as a matter of fact, I might do that on a Sunday While the price is steep, the service and food you receive make it worth every single penny. While other restaurants in Nashville focus on vibes and service is left by the wayside, Fancypants checks all the boxes for a unique dining experience with a friendly staff and delicious food.

New favorite restaurant in Nashville!!! The vibe and ambiance was absolutely incredible. You're greeted with a welcome drink by their attentive staff. The service is beyond great with personable and knowledgeable wait staff. The food is BEYOND GOOD. we got the caviar, the best steak tar tar we have ever had, vodka sauce pasta and pork! It was incredible. We will absolutely be back and I highly recommend for any occasion.

Not sure if steakhouse really applies to this spot - they do offer it though! Came here with my partner for a little treat, especially since their veggie forward menu offers a pleasant change from most Nashville spots. Hannah greeted us at the door with a welcome cocktail that really got things rolling (thank you Hannah, you were the best!) before walking us through a Lynchian entryway into this Eyes Wide Shut 70's-esque establishment that screams both disco and speak easy simultaneously. Everything from the complementary focaccia to our cocktails and dishes - which varied between the most interesting and tasty beet salad I've ever had ( I make em myself weekly too), to a Burmese caesar salad and a fresh and visually stunning take on crudo - was unique and thoughtful, bringing something to the table that you'd be hard pressed to find under one roof just about anywhere, let alone in a traditional meat-forward region like the south. It was all worth the hype and much more - their menu rotates regularly too! Def worth reserving a table here.

We're big fans of RHS and Butcher & Bee, so we were stoked to check out their group's newest restaurant venture on Dickerson Pike. We made reservations for a Friday night via Resy a couple of weeks in advance (when they announced on social media that reservations were finally open)! Heads-up that you do need to put a card down when you make your reservation, and you will be charged $25/person if you cancel your reservation less than 48 hours in advance. This practice is popping up more and more at high-end restaurants like Fancypants, and while I understand why they do it, it does feel a bit steep for East Nashville. The parking lot was full when we arrived - so we snagged a spot in the alley around back. We were greeted at the host stand with a delicious and colorful welcome cocktail called the "Booze Amuse." We were seated near the bar, and were delighted to see a packed restaurant on only their second weekend open! The building itself used to be an old grocery store, but the team has done a beautiful job of renovating the space. It's maroon and moody, with eclectic decor that you can tell has been carefully curated. We didn't get a chance to check out the patio this time around, but I love the bright green criss-cross pattern you can spot from the road. You won't find the menu on their website - but instead a cheeky question asking "Where's the fun in that?" While I do like the air of mystery this introduces, I do wish they let guests know ahead of time that that their core prix-fixe menu is entirely vegetarian. Don't get me wrong, I love how creative plant-based food can be, but it feels a bit misleading to not let guests know up front. The "Bonus Menu" did feature Steak Tartare, so there was at least one protein if you were really in the mood for meat. As you do dig into the menu, you may not miss meat as much as you thought you would. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious - my favorite was the Grilled Lion's Mane Mushroom, which is reminiscent of a juicy steak and sits on top of creamy mashed potatoes. The Etrog Vodka Shells are also a can't-miss dish - perfectly saucy and just a little spicy. We also sampled a couple of their drinks. I appreciate the theming (all of the cocktails are named after different types of pants) and would recommend the Yoga Pants to anyone looking for a fresh and fruity mocktail. The service was very attentive - not only our waitress, but several other members of the team checked in on us periodically throughout our meal. We were also brought a few impromptu palette cleansers, including their version of Pani Puri and a tangy celery juice. We didn't stick around for dessert this time around, but noted it for next time! Although we enjoyed our meal and commend the team for creating something unique, it did feel a bit pricey. That said, this was a fun Friday night dining experience, and I recommend making a reservation to check out Fancypants for yourself!

At Fancypants, fine dining gets a glow-up--and not in the stiff, white-tablecloth way you might expect. Here, it's all about taking the seriousness out of fancy food and replacing it with a whole lot of fun. The setting? Full of vibrant reds, funky patterns, and enough texture to keep your eyes busy. They created a space that screams, "Have a F*-ing blast while you're here!" But, even with the fun factor dialed up, the food missed the mark. Things got...interesting. Let's start with the vibe--it's playful, loud, and designed to make you smile. The atmosphere feels like a party where you might wear sequins, but also wouldn't bat an eye if someone showed up in sneakers. Ultimately, the dressed code is "please wear pants." It's cool, it's confident, and it's not afraid to make fine dining more accessible. Now onto the menu. And oh, the menu...let's just say it's a bit like meeting someone at a wild party who tells you their entire life story in five minutes--you're overwhelmed and not sure what to think. As a first-timer, I took one look at the dizzying array of options, closed the menu, and waited for help to arrive. It's not that the choices aren't intriguing, but it's hard to make sense of it all without a bit of guidance. It was a lot to digest--literally and figuratively. The service, however, is where Fancypants truly shined. Sarah was an absolute rockstar--informative, friendly, and with just the right amount of energy to make the experience feel like a conversation with a friend who knows way more about food than you do. Emily, a trainee, was equally eager to please, and it showed in her enthusiasm to learn and engage. The concept of the tasting menu is fun in theory. You pick your own three dishes, and so does everyone else at the table, creating a mini-adventure for each diner. With three diners at the table, we were able to sample all the dishes on the menu. The downside? Nothing really popped. The food was good, but good isn't what you're hoping for when you walk into a place like Fancypants. You want something that makes you sit up straight, take a breath, and say, "I need more of that." Unfortunately, there wasn't a single dish that made me feel that way. Fun? Absolutely. Mind-blowing? Not quite. Let's talk details. You might think fun, fine dining would provide you with a cozy bar to sip a cocktail while waiting for your table. Not here. Bar seating is based off reservations, but they do offer an aperitif at the host stand, which is nice, but feels more like a consolation prize. And if you're seated outside on the patio, beware--this area doubles as a waiting space, and we ended up losing a chair to a wandering guest whose group needed extra seating while waiting for their table. It's the kind of tiny inconvenience that sticks with you. As for the dishes themselves, the (Tennessee) Caviar paired with Ruffles was, to be blunt, a letdown. It's cheeky, sure, but it tastes more like a Tuesday snack than something that deserves a spot on a fine dining menu. And the wine selection? Let's just say it felt like a missed opportunity. With such an adventurous menu, the safe choice of West Coast wines didn't do the experience justice. That said, there were some gems. The palate cleansers were next-level perfection--think pickled watermelon and other fun surprises between courses. Each one was immaculate and refreshing, and honestly, they were the highlight of the meal. The Miso Butter Malfadine was also a winner, with its umami-packed richness and peanut chili crunch that made me pause and savor. And the Avocado & Smoked Banana? Creamy, crunchy, and just plain delicious. So is Fancypants worth a visit? Sure--if you're looking for a fun night. It's not your traditional fine dining experience, and I truly don't think I could call it fine dining, but *I guess* that's the point. You'll leave with a smile and the memory of a night where the goal was less about being serious and more about having a f*-ing blast. Just don't expect the food to leave you breathless or counting the days until you return.

Fun dining experience & very unique menu! We had reservations for the 2nd weekend of opening on a Saturday night & were greeted with welcome cocktails at the hostess stand. For what it's worth, my wife & I aren't vegetarians but know that this is a heavy vegetarian menu with a lot of gluten-free options. It is a 3 course pre-fixe menu for $70 pp with the only meat item as of now, the steak tartare. Menu subject to change. You can order additional items a la carte from the bonus/appetizer & dessert menus. Drink menus have a lot of variety! I ordered the grilled lion's mane mushroom, the stuffed poblano chile pepper, & the miso butter Malfadine. My wife ordered the grilled heirloom eggplant, Etrog vodka shells, & the chicken fried cauliflower. We shared the steak tartare for appetizer, & a fruit tart with coffee for dessert. We also got some complimentary items! Panipurri, celery soda palette cleanser(?), & strawberry jelly bites with peanut butter dusting. Anytime I have vegetarian dishes, I'm worried the food will be bland, under-seasoned, & that I'll be leaving hungry. However, I was pleasantly surprised how intricate the flavors were & how full we were by the end of the meal. Service was fantastic, very attentive & new silverware & plates for each course. Ambience was casual upscale with music in the background, but not too loud. Overall, highly recommend if you are looking to try something new for a nice night out. The price point is high, but the quality & service make up for it. Don't let the vegetarian menu fool you! Follow the foodie gram @jason.chews!

Off to a great start! We had an early reservation on opening night, and service was smooth and confident -- clearly this team is skilled and did a great job during their previews to "wow" right away. The name is a bit cheeky, in that you could certainly come here for a special occasion, but it's irreverent and fun. The interior is lush but comfortable. Food! What a fun mix of dishes. The welcome cocktail and bread service got us started on a high note. Our favorite dishes were the avocado + banana (I think there's a good chance this becomes the signature dish, like a fun twist on sister restaurant Butcher & Bee's avocado crispy rice), the mozzarella katsu (the best fried cheese I've ever had), and the miso malfadine (umami goodness). It's a meat-light main menu, so this is a great option for groups with vegetarians in the mix. We omnivores didn't miss the meat at all. We were too stuffed for dessert, but the choices our table-neighbors ordered looked delicious and like a nostalgic reminder of old-school supper clubs. We'll definitely be back!

The food was delicious! Bam! The menu is limited I love the welcome drink, but it would be great to have a non alcoholic option. The food was very satisfying. The bill made me decide this would be a one time splurge.

Fancy pants is a delightful, unique dining experience that earned my 5 star rating last night. In anticipation of the evening I was surprised to not find a menu to peruse. Turns out the menu changes often and even our excellent server found changes since returning from vacation a week ago.There is ample parking at Fancypants and a complimentary cocktail is offered at the host station. This is a unique small taste of four ingredients, Cava, bitters and two very red additions. Bright and refreshing. The decor is an interesting blend of a warehouse industrial look softened with red textiles and floral booths. The two bar areas are inviting and simply built. Our party of four enjoyed a large booth. Our clear view of the food prep area was a show in itself. Each chef was meticulous in preparing the food and preparation. Our server Emily was well educated about each offering on the menu. We chose the $70 pp option giving each person a choice of 3 options. With 4 of us, we enjoyed all 9 offerings and doubled up on three. This sounds confusing, but Emily guided us through the deliciously interesting meal. Starting with lightest fare to heaviest. Most of the offerings were off the charts excellent. Here were our favorites: The Avocado and smoked banana, onion noodles with cheese, Lion's Mane Mushroom, cabbage with miso, pasta shells. We allowed our server to choose the order our portions were served. Each one unique and tasty. (I would ask for the Lions Main to be served earlier in the meal as by the time it arrived I was pretty full. There is a pallet cleansing drink of mountain basil soda sure to wake up your tastebuds part way through the meal. This was a fun evening of foods prepared in most unique and delicious ways. The service outstanding as well. If you get a chance go with an open mind. You won't be disappointed.

High Hopes But Disappointed My husband and I visited this restaurant for a special occasion, based on a recommendation from our daughter who lives in East Nashville. We live south of Nashville, so we were excited to try something new and enjoy a special night out together in the Big City. Our first impression was that the restaurant had a unique and lively atmosphere. The decor was bold--red, vibrant, fun, and did I mention red? Everything was red. Despite the energetic music, we could still carry on a conversation without any difficulty, which we appreciated. The staff provided excellent service. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant throughout the evening. Unfortunately, the food and overall dining experience did not live up to our expectations. First, the menu left us confused about the restaurant's culinary theme. Its design, with casual fonts and colors, felt more suited to a diner than a fine dining establishment. The selection of dishes was eclectic, featuring a 32-ounce Porterhouse (Cowboy) steak as the main attraction alongside an assortment of sides that didn't seem to fit together. Our side choices that night, included: Asian-inspired Miso Butter Malfadine, grilled Lion's Mane mushrooms over mashed potatoes, a Tea Leaf Caesar Salad, Japanese sweet potatoes, octopus and short ribs, etc. While the sides were okay and presented nicely, none stood out as memorable except for the salad, which was the best dish of the night. The biggest disappointment, however, was the steak. It was advertised as the Chef's Steak Dinner for Two at $125 per person. While we were initially shocked by the price, we were willing to splurge for a special night at what we expected to be a high-quality restaurant. We ordered the steak medium-rare, and while it looked impressive and came pre-sliced around the bone, the texture made it difficult to enjoy. The steak was tough and chewy, with an excessive amount of fat and sinew. I typically order ribeye or filet when dining out, so I was unfamiliar with a Porterhouse, but I expected better quality and tenderness, especially at that price point. We ended up eating very little of it and took most of it home, though we never finished it. The price seemed outrageous for what we got and for what we have experienced in other of Nashville's fine dining restaurants and steakhouses. And, we felt like there was no other real choice. There were basically two options on the menu: 1. Chef's Steak Dinner for Two at $125 per person with six total sides--overkill. 2. Each guest picks three sides, from a selection of 9, for $75 per person (no steak) Sides that night did include Short Ribs, the only meat option. To add insult to injury, the bill included a line item called "Healthy Hospitality" for $5.50. We had no idea what it was. 'Never seen those two words together before. Was this to assure that the staff was in good health? Healthy? Hospitality? Was it an upcharge for organic ingredients? When we asked our server, she said, "This enables us to make $7.00 an hour instead of the $2.00 an hour servers get paid." Really?! Are the tips on such expensive dinners not enough? Our bill, without alcohol or dessert, came to $279.88 (including tax), and with a 20% tip, totaled about $335.00. Will we go back? No, we won't. Would I recommend it to others? Unfortunately, no. Nashville has so many outstanding restaurants, and this one did not make the cut. I share this feedback with the hope that the owners will take time to reflect and make adjustments. I want new businesses to succeed, but some significant changes are needed here for that to happen.

Last night was my first trip to Fancypants. Warning, this review may give you whiplash. The great: Incredible service Magical decor The Lion's Mane dish was earthy and filling Vodka shells a high note as well They offer a free drink, boozy or not, upon entry The not so great: A few dishes came out burnt, looking at you eggplant and turnip The cauliflower felt undercooked The big issue is the menu setup. They really should let you purchase a la carte. It's not a vegetarian restaurant but all of the 3 for $70 were vegetarian. The dishes had hearty portions so this isn't a critique on size. If you want a protein you need to order beef tartar from the bonus menu or the $165 steak. Also, the menu was all over the place. There were some solid Asian influenced dishes, a cluster of Italian, then a southern and Mexican influenced dish. I think the main issue is that it lacks cohesion. I would LOVE, LOVE for Fancypants to keep on fancying. If it can tie up some loose ends and figure out the menu, they'll be golden.

This place is unreal! I can't believe it doesn't have a line out the door. It's vegetarian forward for sure. But if you can't live without meat, you won't go disappointed! Over order and take home the extras. Listen to the recommendations of the server or bartender.

The most curious and delightful place! From the moment we walked in, every staff member we encountered was kind, fun, and knowledgeable about the menu. The decor, ambience, and presentation were 10 out of 10. Still daydreaming about our meal and already planning a trip back. Some favorites were the onion noodle cacio e pepe, the etrog vodka shells, and the grilled lion's mane mushroom. Fun, fancy, but not pretentious.

The entire concept of this restaurant is beautifully orchestrated. From the second you enter the restaurant you are greeted by a friendly hostess and a drink. We waited only a minute while they prepared our table. The decor is on point and look forward to returning and sitting on the patio when the weather is warm. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive to all our needs (and one person in our group was a bit demanding). The restaurant is vegetarian forward which is nice to have in Nashville. They do offer meat dishes. I was just excited to see the selection of vegetable dishes. The food is amazing and the miso butter malfadine pasta is one of my favorites! So much flavor. And the cheesecake is a must! Go try it. You won't be disappointed!

Whenever I'm traveling, I always look out for the best local spots. Fancypants certainly hits the mark! Great food - the menu options are unique and exciting and unlike anything else I've seen in Nashville. I'd say it's a mash up of old school classics with an almost Asian twist! Think: milk bread grilled cheese meets truffles. Everything from the complimentary welcome cocktail to all the little extra bites and flare make it a truly entertaining and fun experience. Think: fancy but approachable service. And perfect spot for a night out with girlfriends and even better for a romantic date night. Think: Heavy drapery, velvet cushions... you get the idea.

Fancypants. What a fun vibe but 3 hours was way too long to be there on what appeared to be a slow night. Welcome cocktail when we arrived was a plus they have over every other restaurant in Nashville. The vibe is vibey. You definitely know they mean they want you to have a f*cking blast. The menu is confusing AF. We asked several questions for clarity and still weren't sure we ordered correctly. I love the idea of a Prix fixe menu but this just felt overwhelming and made me want to say never mind, I'll just have dessert. Best dirty martini I've ever had but every other cocktail we tried was lacking something. They weren't bad by any means but definitely not fantastic cocktails. Every entree needed seasoning. I saw on instagram after we left other tables were offered fresh pepper, we never were but also didn't think to ask. Nothing had much flavor. They were filling dishes. The vodka shells and the caviar stole the show. I might be back if I could just order those two things. The bathrooms were fun. The service was slow. We arrived about 15 min before our reservation time and left 3 hours later. I love a meal that is an experience but I felt anxious and antsy sitting so long between courses. The volume level was great. Our server spoke too softly. Whomever was closest to her had to let the rest of the table know what she said but we were able to have conversation at a reasonable level which is becoming more rare in town these days. Will I be back? No. Was it fine to try once? Sure.

I absolutely love this spot! Fancypants is a pick your own adventure mix of great eats. The food, drinks, ambience and service is spot on, plus they have dairy free dessert options for me, which is a HUGE plus. The kitchen is at the heart of the space and you feel like you are at the chef's table no matter where you get to sit, and I love love love the design of the space. Pro tip... definitely get the turnip lasagna

confusing, severely overpriced, not good. I have never left a review for a restaurant, EVER. felt inclined to today though. service was great, people were nice, but wow, the food was terrible. the prices being charged for what is being served is absolutely bonkers. we really wanted this place to be great, and one would assume that for the money you're spending, it would be. we were also charged 46$ TAX on a 275$ bill, which is over 20% tax... NOT THE TAX RATE IN TENNESSEE. so, that's highly suspect. there was also a 7$ restaurant fee added to the bill. the dishes were not good. we tried 5 different things, all were subpar, to say the least. thank CHRIST we didnt order the 165$ steak on the menu, LOLOL. realllllly reaaaalllllly disappointed, and really wish they would give me some of that $ back. esp. since they DEFINITELY hiked the tax charge over double. insane. I do not recommend this spot. take your money and your fancier pants elsewhere.

The service was great. Our server was lovely. However, the food was so disappointing and extremely overpriced. We weren't sure if we were being punked or not. The only thing fancy about this place was the check. The carrot bolognese looked like brown mush with soggy noodles. My boyfriend said "They must have left that in the mircrowave too long" while my friend burnt her tongue and nearly spit out her sauce across the table. I will cherish this meal has the worst I've ever had. I'll never forget 36th birthday. Fancypants more like Poopypants.

Oh this one makes me so sad because I love red headed stranger and butcher & bee but fancypants is just not on the level with them Starts out strong with a welcome cocktail and service is great but there were exactly 2 dishes of the 10 we ordered (outside dessert) that I would eat again - the squash and the sweet potato. The rest was truly just not good. Flavors didn't marry well, nothing made me even want to have a second bite. The only reason I would return would be for the birthday cheesecake (or if they completely changed the menu) Doubtful this one will last long which sucks :(

We decided to go to Fancy Pants for our anniversary. We loved the look and the vibe and the food was great. Was it worth the price of admission? Definitely not. We also made the mistake of having our table outside. It became obvious that it was better to sit inside for many reasons, including people watching to observe the making of the dishes, especially the beef. The outside seating is enclosed, with the side next to Dickerson Pike made of wooden slats, where you can see people walking by (which can be iffy, ) while the traffic is extremely loud (racing cars) and annoying.. We ordered six different dishes, some better than others. The fish collar was good, but kind of weird. Enough for one person, but definitely not for sharing. From what I saw in the restaurant, it looked like like the best thing to order there was the beef, but my wife is a vegetarian. It is also the most expensive thing on the menu. Our waiter kept reminding us that the restaurant was all about "the experience" - to the point where he said the experience was more important than then the chefs and what they were making. I've been to restaurants that were a great experience, this wasn't one of them. it was fine and it lookscool but I would not call it a great "experience". Beyond that, it took an extremely long time for each plate to show up and we ended up being there two hours. Maybe that's part of the experience? It might've been a more pleasant two hours if we were inside where everything was happening instead of outside we were the only ones sitting ... next to the loud traffic on Dickerson Road. The food was great. The experience was OK and it was expensive, but if I was having the beef in the restaurant, I would probably have enjoyed it even more. As for the experience? Maybe our experience would be better with a different waiter next time. Apparently, the owner of this restaurant is affiliated with Butcher and Bee, which we been to three times. I doubt if we will come back to Fancy Pants. $70 for three vegetarian dishes (per person), and $25 for an entrée that really isn't shareable. $120 per person for the steak (two person minimum) and two (shared) vegetarian dishes. I doubt that we will be back.

This was an unbelievably amazing experience from the moment we walked in to the very end. We tried the bread service (don't miss out on this), 6 main menu items (the pastas are to die for and the way they highlighted local veggies with inventive twists that we loved was unexpected for two carnivores), a few of the very creative cocktails (loved the pink tutu and the overalls) and trust when I say do not walk out without dessert. The place is absolutely gorgeous and they knocked it out with the decor and ambiance. Service was one of the top experiences we've had in any major city, and you can tell, they truly care about the guest experience. Whether you are visiting Nashville or locals like us- make this your next night out!!

I'm shocked and appalled by our time here, and we are not hard to please. The server was great - even though the check was sketchy. The menu options, dishes, and the bill, left us confused and wholly unsatisfied. The amount of tax on our bill and random up-charges were outrageous. It will take us some time to process what happened and we may never recover from this odd experience. There are so many great places to eat around Nashville and this is not one of them.

Great service! Great food! Great ambiance! A very veg forward menu, which I love. The food is unique and presentation is unlike anything I've seen before. The service was the best experience I've ever had a restaurant. Fancypants is worth checking out!

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I do believe they need to be more up front with the fact that the menu is vegetarian. There was one meat option under additional plates that was a steak tartare. The flavors of the menu were good, but again, it would have been nice to know that there were no meat options. The ambience is fun and funky. Our service and course timing was a little off but that wouldn't deter me from coming back.

Service was incredible! Such a cool space and vibe! Was not aware that the food was 98% vegetarian so was a bit shocked about that but still loved our meal. I would not recommend taking a picky eater here!

Fun environment, decent enough food. Another new Nashville/Los Angeles place. They claim to accommodate for food allergies, but they just tell you that you can't eat half the prixe fixe menu. Emails back and forth claim they will have alternatives but don't. If you want to be seen or say you've been, it will probably be enjoyable. Staff was very good and pleasant. Just think that your money could be spent better elsewhere if you are looking for a real culinary experience.

Amazing experience in this new spot! The vibes, decor and hospitality were spot on. It made a regular Thursday night out feel like a celebration, I mean..the funfetti cheesecake was basically what I want for my birthday every year. can't wait to come back to celebrate my actual birthday!! The menu was playful and more importantly delicious, also tried to order a range of cocktails because they all sounded so good, but the Bell Bottoms (a riff on a corpse reviver #2) was so tasty, I ordered it twice.

Another amazing concept from the Butcher and Bee crew. An amazing meal, amazing service, immaculate vibes. Can't wait to go back and experience the constantly changing menu and dishes!
