Sushi - the best on the east side. A little pricey, but if you like sushi, it's worth it. They also have a regular menu for things like fish n' chips and New England Clam Chowder.

Over the years this place has morphed into a really neat market. You will find local produce, for sure, but you will also find arts & crafts, a winery tasting room, a beer stop and so much more. We have gone when there was a bunch of wineries from around TN showing off their wares. Live music on the weekends.

Cajun food at it's best. The entire wait staff are musicians and you never know when R'ichard himself will take the stage. Music on the weekends and some week nights.

Best Italian/chef-inspired cuisine in Nashville (in my opinion). Go for Happy Hour and get a deal on drinks & apps. Just go early as Happy Hour ends at 6:30 pm. Pricey, but worth it. If you don't see what you want on the menu, they will make it for you.

You never know what famous person you might meet at Bobby's. Very small, friendly bar on Music Row. Been there for ages. Sunday night, they pass the guitar around the bar so you can join in the fun. Now non smoking. Be sure to say "hi" to Eddie Paul and the Train Wrecks.
