🍽️ Nashville Restaurant Review | Butcher & Bee

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Taste | Service | Atmosphere A charming Mediterranean-inspired spot on the north bank of the Cumberland River — not your typical Nashville fare! Dishes are creative and full of pleasant surprises 🌿. We ordered three dishes: 🥓 Bacon Wrapped Dates: An unexpectedly delicious combo! Savory, crispy bacon wrapped around sweet, chewy dates — a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Definitely inspired me to try making these at home 🥓🍯. 🥑 Avocado Crispy Rice: The star of the meal! Creamy avocado and kale salad mixed with crunchy crispy rice and white sesame. The texture contrast was amazing — not what we expected from the name, but in a good way! 🥩 Smoked Steak: Strong smoky flavor with crispy chickpeas and mushrooms. Sadly, it was overly oily — we found the chickpeas swimming in grease at the end 😬. Tasty, but probably wouldn’t order again. 🛋️ Vibe: Cozy, casual tavern vibe — great for chatting over drinks 🍹. Open kitchen adds energy! Nothing flashy, but comfortable and inviting. ⚠️ Heads up: Portions are small — big eaters may need to order extra! Food comes out slow — took us 1.5 hours for three dishes. Come with good company! Some dishes can be oily (like that steak…). 📘 Service was friendly — they explained the menu and checked in after each dish. Loved the check holder — a real book with handwritten notes from past diners tucked inside! ❤️📖 📍 Address: Butcher & Bee Nashville ⏰ Hours: Check their website for updated times! 💬 Verdict: Creative and worth a try — but not mind-blowing. A nice change of pace if you’re craving Mediterranean flavors! #NashvilleEats #ButcherAndBee #MediterraneanFood #FoodReview #SmallPlates #NashvilleFoodie 🥙✨
