- TTanyaNashville •13 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOne of the best meals of our lives. I have Celiac Disease and they took it very seriously and accommodated us extremely well. Their cocktails were delicious. I ordered their seasonal soup and we split the wagu skewers. The Wagu skewers were absolute heaven. I ordered the red fish and my husband had the pork chop. We split the corn brulee. We shared the ice cream dessert, prepared table side. Everything was exceptional. Honestly, perfect... Everyone working at Perry's is top notch. Our server, Vernon, was so knowledgeable and professional. All if his recommendations were spot on. Because of him our night was that much more special. I highly recommend Perry's. We can't wait to go back.More infoPerry's Steakhouse & Grille - Cool SpringsPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Franklin•4.8
- RRobertandemilyNashville •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLast night, I had the pleasure of dining at Blue Sushi Sake Grill ,and it was an experience that I won’t soon forget. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and an inviting atmosphere that set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional evening. The service was nothing short of amazing. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring that we had everything we needed. He took the time to explain the menu, suggesting sushi rolls based on our preferences, and their genuine enthusiasm for the food made me even more excited to sample the options ! Now, let’s talk about the food. The quality of the sushi at Blue Sushi is truly remarkable. We started with tge Chard edamame, I urge you to order both the non spicy and regular char so yummo! Then we ordered a few rolls I can’t remember the names unfortunately BUT each roll was melt in your mouth delicious ,Fresh and expertly made by the sushi chefs behind the beautiful sushi bar in the back of the restaurant. Overall, Blue Sushi Sake Grill exceeded my expectations in both service modern hip AMBIENCE ( great music playing )and culinary excellence!More infoBlue Sushi Sake Grill - McEwen NorthsidePrice: Moderate• Sushi• Franklin•4.7

Discover Franklin
Nashville is well-known worldwide as an entertainment capital of the south, but many people do not realize that the area just south of Nashville is home to an excellent array of eateries that range from the several steakhouses to a solid assortment of Asian restaurants. There are also pizzerias and other European cuisines available at multiple locations. And, of course, when you are talking Tennessee, you are talking barbecue restaurants galore. While Nashville offers the hustle-bustle activity of a big city, the communities of Brentwood and Franklin are small towns located about a 30-minute drive from the country music magnet; both offer a more relaxed setting for any dining experience, whether it is a high-profile chain outlet or a down home "Mom and Pop" country cooking buffet.
