Best Family Style Restaurants in East Nashville

Oh my gosh! What a magical place to visit at Christmas time! The ambience is off the chart! The decor, the staff, the food…absolutely everything was just amazing. I can’t wait to come back for Sunday brunch! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a fun night with a great historical building and fabulous, everything!

The food was fantastic! Our server was great! Drinks were great! Ambience was great! Did I say great? Well I’m at a lost for words! We are constantly underwhelmed by Nashville’s food but this place was under the radar! It’s severely under rated! We were arguing about what to order because everything sounded so good and we ended up planning what to eat on our next visit! Thank you Adele Team!

Review for Harpers in Nashville As someone who often leaves steakhouses thinking I could have made a better meal at home, Harpers in Nashville completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything about the experience was exceptional. We ordered the Australian Wagyu, and it was hands down one of the best pieces of meat I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, it was tender and practically melted in my mouth—setting a new standard for what steak should be. The sides and appetizers were just as impressive. The brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection, packed with flavor and just the right amount of crispiness. The brûlée corn was a delightful surprise—sweet, savory, and creamy with a beautifully caramelized topping. And the lobster ravioli? Absolutely divine. Rich, decadent, and perfectly balanced, it was a dish I’ll be dreaming about for a long time. Harpers truly delivers a dining experience that feels special in every way. If you’re in Nashville and want an unforgettable meal, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to return!

I absolutely adore this spot! Definitely an underrated place for dinner. The food is fantastic, the sharing experience is collaborative sparking conversation, the interior is intimate and cozy, and the service is kind and helpful. The Christmas decorations really added a cozy and wonderful aspect to the entire dinner. This is not my first time as it is hard to not want to come back. My favorite dishes are the croquettes, garlic bread and the radiatori vodka. 10/10! My one slight disappointment would be in the inability to split the check. Otherwise fantastic!

What a lovely evening at LYRA. From the warm greeting at the door, servers who were friendly yet still professional, beautiful and delicious food journey and a special touch to help us celebrate a birthday. We will absolutely return to LYRA on the regular. Thank you to this team for a great experience.
