Best Fine Dining Restaurants in East Nashville

The restaurant is small and cozy, but not in any way stuffy. Music was upbeat and fun and our server was very friendly and helpful with picking menu items. Now the food, the star of the night.. So good! Every bite from start to finish was delightful. We tried 4 of the 5 shareable plates and all were great. Highly recommend the corn ribs and the sweet potato dish!! We shared the pork chop entree and both my husband and I agree it’s one of the best pork chops we’ve ever eaten! We also had the red velvet Oreo cheesecake and it was also amazing! If I could give this restaurant 6 stars, I would. Can’t wait to go back!

Review for House of Cards – Nashville House of Cards is an incredible hidden gem inside the Johnny Cash Museum, offering a unique mix of fine dining and top-tier entertainment. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The food was outstanding—my filet was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with a classic baked potato, while my husband’s bone-in ribeye was just as impressive. Every bite was flavorful and expertly prepared. Our server, Riley, made the experience even better with their friendly, efficient, and humorous service. One of the highlights of the night was the entertainment. The card magicians roaming the restaurant kept us engaged and amazed, and the after-dinner show was the perfect way to end the evening. The combination of great food, top-notch service, and mesmerizing magic makes House of Cards a must-visit spot in Nashville. We’ll definitely be back!

Had a nice dinner the day after Valentines. Had an early reservation as we were going to a show afterward, and dinner was served efficiently/quickly. Restaurant was very busy. Service was good. Tuna poke bowl was great- tuna was so smooth. Mistakenly thought there was a valet, but thankfully there is a parking deck right next to the restaurant.

We have been planning to come here for a while. It was still brunch time and their menu has great choices. The manager Nick went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable and gave us the hometown feel which is amiss in a lot of the steakhouses and by far the best service and food we have had in a long time. Service always stands out and brings back patrons time after time. Cudos to Harper’s for hiring such an amazing representative that stands out in customer service and humility. Thank you for coming to Nashville. We will definitely be back again and please ask for Beau who is also an asset to this restaurant. How sweet it is to see smiling faces from all of the employees. We will be back with our friends.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Etch!! The service was top notch, the food was delicious and presented exquisitely! The server knew the food and drink menu so well! They were very accommodating to my wife's gluten free needs. The red wine from Greece was amazing!! We enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer, gluten free bread rolls, Etch salad. And for the main course we had the Port and Filet, with a side of brussels sprouts. The banana flavored ice cream was delicious, being very light on the banana flavor. I hope to return soon.
