This place is great. Not suitable for kids, but good for a business dinner/date night/dinner out with friends. It is a small dining area so it may take a while to get in on a busy night, but overall you have plenty of space from the table next to you.

This is a cute local spot for families. It is casual but can take a while to get seated because they are so busy. The concept behind this restaurant is that each table has their own griddle where you pick your breakfast ingredients and you cook them yourself. Its all you can eat pancakes which is the best part and you pick your toppings. They cook the meats for you, but has browns/eggs/etc are on you. Fun and unique dining experience but not very quiet or spacious...which is great for littles!

Sightseeing
Opryland is a personal favorite of ours. The gardens in this hotel are legendary in Nashville. There are multiple restaurants inside, waterfalls in the garden you can walk under, shops with plenty of music city's trinkets, and plenty of photo-worthy spots for the family. At Christmas time, this place is lit up inside and out. Every year our family goes here to see the lights, so if you are in town that time of year make sure you stop in!

Getting Around
This really is the best way to get around other than walking to where you need to go. You are so close to everything at 500 on 5th that an Uber won't cost you more than $6 for those trips you just cannot walk.
