Creative vegetarian & New American dishes in a fun, circus-themed setting
"If our diet consisted of the crispy-edged turnip lasagna and other creative vegetarian dishes from Fancypants, we’d never eat another cow again. This East Nashville spot from the Butcher and Bee and Redheaded Stranger team has a mostly meat-free tasting menu packed with some of the most interesting and delicious dishes we’ve had lately. There’s a stuffed poblano chile with all the flavors of mezcal, a chicken fried cauliflower swimming in a luscious coconut gravy, miso butter mafaldine, and a comically-tall piece of funfetti cheesecake. It’s the place for a super fun, sceney dinner with a dining room that has a distinct circus theme—and feels like a world where Barnum and Bailey got a culinary degree." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak, adam sloan

"A dressed-down fine-dining spot in Nashville that employs time- and labor-intensive tactics to prevent disruptions—offering kitchen tours, card games, or access to an empty private dining space—to keep children engaged and nip tantrums or loud-screen behavior in the bud." - ByMaggie Hennessy
"Fancypants doesn’t take itself too seriously, and a meal here will remind you that food can be fun and taste really good, too. You’ll walk in past red drapes and gold streamers, and immediately get handed a “booze amuse” cocktail with bubbles, lemon, hibiscus, and bitters as you wait for your table. Dinner is $70 a person and includes three courses of your choice—the miso butter malfadine, etrog vodka shells, and turnip noodle lasagna are the best things on the mostly vegetarian menu. You can (and should) add some appetizers for an extra cost, like a cheeky high-low version of sour cream and onion dip that’s topped with caviar and served with Ruffles." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
