Best Authentic Restaurants in Germantown

The food was absolutely phenomenal. The service was amazing. The drink options 1st class! Our server offered some wonderful suggestions for both food and drinks.

It was our first time at Pelato and we really enjoyed it. Each dish was delicious and the service was outstanding. We plan to return!

Great service and awesome food. Would make for a perfect first date Outside is very unassuming but delightful on the inside. Bone marrow, oysters, butternut squash soup and even the Caesar salad was excellent

So glad that we finally tried this place. After a lot of "meh" meals in Nashville over the past 5 or so years (soooo many steak houses doing the same thing), it was refreshing to see a place getting it right. For us, this is exactly what dining should be: personable and fun with well executed food and good pricing. I wouldn't call it cheap, but you get what you pay for, which is all anyone should expect. They aren't trying to be gimmicky or too hip. They are just doing what they do well. This is in our rotation now, along with Lyra, Yolan, Carne Mare and Bella Napoli...all places that do what they do extremely well without trying to be everything to everyone.

Staff was warm and friendly. The food was innovative and approachable at the same time. The space is unique and the open kitchen is fun to watch. I may have dimmed the lights slightly and put on a little music, but otherwise, the room was lovely. Would definitely return. Probably many times. Don't skip the house-aged ham or the Solomon cocktail.
