Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in East Nashville

So charming - decorated for the holidays… and great food & service!

Each year at Christmas, we gather for a special family dinner that has become a cherished tradition. This time, when we arrived, we noticed that our friend Marvelous wasn’t working. After texting her, Marvelous made the incredible gesture of driving 45 minutes just to join us and celebrate together. There are many places we could eat, but none offer the experience we share here—it’s not just about the good food, but the meaningful relationships that make it unforgettable.

Super fun Christmas hang! Great jazz music on Sunday. Service was great and very friendly. Cocktails are delicious and reasonably priced. Really good experience.

Incredible!! This was our first time at Harper’s and it was so good. The service and food were both fantastic. Our server (I wish I could remember her name because she was wonderful and treated us well) did a fantastic job describing the menu items. She even showed kindness to us as we celebrated our 18th anniversary with some champagne and crème brûlée. The oysters were perfection, the Caesar was delightful, and the lobster ravioli was amazing! The steak was like butter! The one thing we didn’t love were the Brussels sprouts - we like basic seared Brussels and these had a sauce that was a bit too heavy for us. However, everything else was great. We are locals and will definitely go back. Thanks for a great experience.

Enjoyed the Peloached Pear. Australian Wagyu was delicious and totally worth the price difference from the filet (which my daughter got so we could compare). Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. Chocolate cake isn't too sweet / rich; a good balance. Definitely want to come back to try more items. Cocktails looked great. Music was nice, and the service was great as well.
