Best Casual Restaurants in The Nations / Village West

We had a great meal at Pelato. The vibe was definitely a New York state of mind and the food rivaled many of the great NYC pasta houses. Our waitress was outstanding explaining the menu and offering suggestions. On Sunday's they make Sunday sauce and next time I go on a Sunday I will definitely order it for the table. Since this was our first time, we opted to each order a pasta dish to try and all were delicious. The meatballs and arancini were equally great. The wine list was little limited but what they offered was fairly priced - just remember your id as they will ask everyone at the table to prove they are old enough to legally imbibe. Make your reservations now and you will thank me later!

Pinewood Social is amazing! It’s a beautiful building and great atmosphere. The cuban coffee is incredible. We ordered the salmon benedict and the fried chicken biscuit. Absolutely delicious! The breakfast potatoes are out of this world! Definitely recommend!

Our server, Michael, was just awesome. Next time we come to dine with you, I think we will request him. The food was outstanding! We’ve always loved Sinatra for the ambience and the music, but in the past, the food was like a three out of five. However, today, I must say, the food was absolutely a 10 out of 10 for us. Keep up the good work, and outstanding service and food. We plan to return soon.

Celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary this past Saturday 11/23. Noted on my reservation, and they delivered. Complimentary champagne, sparkler in our banana pudding and a handwritten post card from the staff. Nichelle provided gracious service, and ensured that we were taken care of to the highest degree, she was an absolute delight. The entire staff was top notch from the moment we entered the front door. Don't miss this tucked away restaurant when in Nashville.

Party of dined on 11-19-24. Was beautiful and cozy atmosphere with friendly host staff and seated promptly. Ordered shortrib potstickers which were very overcooked and had to return. Reordered them a second time and the manager (Gabby) immediately came to table and said she would personally oversee the chef prepare this time. They came back perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We ordered scallops and rotisserie chicken and both were delicious. Gabby comped us two glasses of bubbly and was very gracious. Definitely going to go back with a larger party next time. Well done and great experience.
