"This casually cool East Nashville staple sits in a converted home with a big wooden patio perfect for gathering. The culinary options here are excellent, with shareable plates like burrata and whipped feta and deftly prepared mains like gnocchi with duck ragu, halibut cooked in brown butter, and crab-topped filet medallions. You can also count on the weekend brunch to deliver a wide range of palate-pleasing hits — the bananas foster French toast with rum-flambeed bananas and the double-smash brunch burger are perennial favorites. Visit for $8 classic cocktails during happy hour on weekdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m." - Kellie Walton
