Best Shellfish Restaurants in Southeast Nashville

My partner and I have been wanting to go to Locust for years, and finally for his birthday we made it happen. “Unreasonable Hospitality” this, The Bear that…this was everything and more. The experience made you truly feel like you were apart of the family, the friend group, the “in” crowd. Yes, an elevated meal, but one that was likewise comfortable, casual, and full of that warm, home cooked meal feeling. Too Much Caviar is…too much caviar. But so much fun to taste with every part of the meal. The bread just melts in your mouth, the butter is divine, and all with a Toki Highball was perfect. Razor clams on the house that were truly something I have never tasted before in my life. DIY beef tartare rolls along with amazing Tuna hand rolls, followed by abalone risotto and some shaved iced for a last hurrah. Just spectacular. And all the while, the staff is so attentive and helpful, while also being equal to one another; waitstaff, chefs, maître d, all visited to chat and mingle interchangeably. This restaurant is such a well-oiled machine that the guests truly are swept into another world— not one of four different spoons and white tablecloths, but one where a staff member stops by to talk about the Bad Nerves song he queued, a small dish on the house after making a connection in the Nashville food world, and where the team all shouts “Happy Birthday!” as you leave. Perfect strangers made family for an hour or two. Not feigned, pretend: made.

Jennifer at the bar, was amazing! Super kind and great memory! Server, Jack, was nice and balanced multiple tables. Busy day, so minor order hiccups, but understandable. Just wish the restaurant would get a face-lift! Things were dusty, carpet and bathrooms need a major do-over!

The waiter was at the top of his game. He made you feel welcomed, greeted the fathers with a Father's Day greeting, and the food was plentiful and good. The waiter listened to our requests and followed what we asked. The afternoon was enjoyable.

Always have the same good quality of food at Red Lobster. It is a nice, quiet place to have lunch or dinner with someone.

Overall this Red lobster was very good! I think for the most part people have forgotten about it! It need some minor updates but for the most part it was great and the food was phenomenal! Thank you!
