🍽️ Nashville Restaurant Review | 5th & Taylor

Taste: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ambiance: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 TL;DR: Highly, highly recommend! Finally tried this long-awaited spot with friends yesterday — and it did not disappoint! A perfect start to spring break 🌸 We ordered three dishes and two cocktails — all were excellent 🤎 Beef Tartare: No gamey taste, not over-marinated. The mustard was subtle and smooth. As a tartare lover, I was excited from the moment I saw it on the menu — and it delivered! Special Starter: Roasted Pork Belly Caramelized onions and peppers — crispy skin, not greasy, and no typical “pork smell” you often find in American restaurants. It even reminded me of Chinese flavors! 🐷✨ As someone who usually hates green peppers, these were cooked perfectly — tender but not mushy, sweet and delicious with the onions. Main: Braised Beef Cheek So tender it practically melted in the mouth 😋 Well-seasoned but not overpowering. Side note: The mashed potatoes were incredible — we couldn’t stop eating them even after finishing the beef! Cocktails 🍹 Well-balanced — not too sweet, not too strong. Maybe not mind-blowing, but very solid. The restaurant is located in a quiet corner of Germantown 🏛️. The space is a beautifully converted warehouse — open, airy, and warmly lit 💡. It’s not super quiet (not a formal date spot), but the vibe is lively and perfect for conversations with friends or a special celebration. Service was attentive but not intrusive — they anticipated everything we needed 🧡. Reservations are recommended — we saw people waiting around 8 PM. In short: It feels like a little slice of New York right here in Nashville. 📍 1411 5th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37208 ⏰ Sun-Thu: 5–9 PM | Fri & Sat: 4:45–10 PM #Nashville #5thAndTaylor #DateNight #HiddenGems #FoodReview
