Best Lunch Restaurants in Charlotte Park / Croley Wood

Incredible experience! From the moment we walked in we were greeted by friendly smiles and warmth. We stopped by for happy hour drinks and desserts and were not disappointed!

Great place to meet a friend for lunch. The menu has many good lunch choices. Our waiter Christian was accommodating and knew the menu well to make helpful suggestions.

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.

This in a Nashville classic. Great food and some of the best waiters you'll ever experience. John is superb!

My partner and I have been wanting to go to Locust for years, and finally for his birthday we made it happen. “Unreasonable Hospitality” this, The Bear that…this was everything and more. The experience made you truly feel like you were apart of the family, the friend group, the “in” crowd. Yes, an elevated meal, but one that was likewise comfortable, casual, and full of that warm, home cooked meal feeling. Too Much Caviar is…too much caviar. But so much fun to taste with every part of the meal. The bread just melts in your mouth, the butter is divine, and all with a Toki Highball was perfect. Razor clams on the house that were truly something I have never tasted before in my life. DIY beef tartare rolls along with amazing Tuna hand rolls, followed by abalone risotto and some shaved iced for a last hurrah. Just spectacular. And all the while, the staff is so attentive and helpful, while also being equal to one another; waitstaff, chefs, maître d, all visited to chat and mingle interchangeably. This restaurant is such a well-oiled machine that the guests truly are swept into another world— not one of four different spoons and white tablecloths, but one where a staff member stops by to talk about the Bad Nerves song he queued, a small dish on the house after making a connection in the Nashville food world, and where the team all shouts “Happy Birthday!” as you leave. Perfect strangers made family for an hour or two. Not feigned, pretend: made.
