He Said, She Said Restaurant Reviews

Josephine is a cool, intimate restaurant on 12 South in Nashville. Really good food by an award winning chef with great service in a comfortable setting. Set your sights high and have a delicious brunch or dinner at Josephine.

etc. (Etcetera) restaurant in the Green Hills area of Nashville is a gorgeous little place with outstanding food. Tucked behind Green Hills, this unassuming location has some of the best food we've eaten this year. With great food, a great vibe, good drinks, and good service, this place is already in the running for 'Best of 2020'.You'll love it!

Deacons New South is  perfectly named for its New South, aged steaks and excellent dining selections. A large restaurant, Deacon's serves not only aged steaks but all the other meats, fish, and birds you can shake a steak knife at. Farm fresh food - charcuterie, veges, gluten free stuff, great drinks, excellent service - are all staples at this modern and very cool restaurant. Take a trip to downtown Nashville and dine in style at Deacon's New South.

The Butcher & Bee is a modern, farm-to-table restaurant with a very broad and super interesting menu. Prepared flawlessly, the unique dining selections are created just a glance away over a utilitarian chef's counter... which we recommend. Great dining, drinking, and people-watching are run-of-the-mill at Butcher & Bee.East Nashville is just a hop across the Cumberland River and it's well worth the drive to visit Butcher & Bee. And did I mention the awesome Israeli Fried Chicken? Wow.See you there!

Muriel's Jackson Square is called a 'casual, fine dining' restaurant... but the only thing casual about the place might be a few of the patrons, because the food is Upscale, Contemporary Creole Cuisine! Nothing casual about that. The Bar & Courtyard, the Seance Lounge, the Plantation, all provide lovely evidence of the history packed into this building and restaurant that is Muriel's. Craft cocktails, elegant dining space, spectacular dining selections (don't forget the crawfish & goat cheese crepes! YUM), comfortable, delicious, easy to find... French Quarter at it's best.

The Pelican Club, on the corner of Bienville and Exchange Alley in the French Quarter, is a cozy, contemporary Creole restaurant with my favorite duck dish in the whole world... Trio of Duck. The Escargot en Croute is also awesome and provides a yummy appetizer to any of the delicious ala carte entrees. Three separate dining areas - including a great bar - gives you enough reasons to go back again and again.Great art on the walls, great food on the table, talent in the kitchen, and first class service on the floor makes for a one-of-a-kind, French Quarter experience you won't forget.

Put on your Pink Poodle Skirt or your Fonzie Leather Jacket and beat it down to Fat Kat Slim's... a modern, retro diner in the heart of blossoming downtown Nashville. This is a very kool joint that has a lot going on. Good food, good menu, good drinks, good vibe, cool 50's chatskis... we spent an afternoon scoping out Fat Kat Slim's and came away happy.Listen up and take trip down to Fat Kat Slim's for a Twilight Zone, Dobie Gillis, Rick Nelson  getaway. You'll be glad you did.

Restaurant R'evolution is an upscale, modern, somewhat exciting, New Orleans restaurant with a very modern and revolutionary update to Cajun and Creole cooking. The  cross-cultural fusion of food and flavors is built on the culinary history of seven nations that contributed to the unique flavors so integral to NO.We spent Christmas 2019 at Restaurant R'evolution and enjoyed the restaurant, bar, vibe, food... this place has it all.

Central Bar + Kitchen is touted as 'West End's Hottest New Restaurant'... so we had to try it on for size. This new restaurant, located on West End in the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, serves good food, good service, and has a fairly well-stocked bar. We found one-of-a-kind items on the menu that were as tasty as they were unique. With an attractive, comfortable indoor dirinkery and dining room, Central Bar + Kitchen can easily host your casual get-together, bachlorette party, holiday festivities, or just a great hang.And, don't forget... you can play Santa and participate in their holiday toy drive by taking a new child's to to be donated to charity. That action will get you a free appetizer!

Today we’re taking a few liberties with our policy to not review chains - at least large chains - but we found a pretty cool Italian restaurant in Nashville that we think is worthy of sharing. It’s called North Italia and it’s on the perimeter of the Green Hills Mall in Nashville Tennessee. There seems to be a lot happening in Green Hills these days!Anyway, the food was very good, the service was good, and it had a very open, airy, kind of urban feel. Oh, and brunch and Happy Hour. What more could you want?Listen and try it out... see what you think. We liked it.

After a short break (due to caloric overload from our Go West Tour) Sandi and I are back in business this holiday season with new, cool places to eat, drink, and hangout. To kick it off, we’re at Cole’s Kitchen in Nashville. Cole’s is the re-invention of the Firefly Grille by Master Restaurateur Curt Cole with one of Nashville’s best menus. Give it a listen and please… Go To Cole’s.

The Mockingbird - one of Maneet Chauhan's Morph Hospitality Group Restaurants - is a cool, eclectic diner in an 'Old-School-Meets-the-Future' kind of way.

Please give it a try.

If you're a wine lover - and even if you're not - the 64 Wine Bar & Kitchen in Naperville,  Illinois will make you very happy. 64 self-serve wines by the glass tops the list of really cool things you'll find here. The fascinating wine dispensers made me want to take one home. Nice bar, tables, and a great patio round out the list of cool things. An intriguing menu with very good food and terrific service make this restaurant a requirement! A tidy spot with with a lot of appeal. Try it on for size... you'll want one of those wine dispensers, too.

Salt Cellar Restaurant, Scottsdale... This surprising little subterranean restaurant is a seafood gem in an underground location - literally underground - known for its New England-style seafood served in an intimate underground hideaway with seaside decor & a bar. We were as delighted as we were surprised as we were served great seafood by a knowledgeable and attentive staff. This is definitely a 'must-do'.

Mora Italian, Scott Conant's Italian restaurant in Phoenix, is an upscale - but affordable - fun place to eat and drink. Located in the 'Golden Mile Corridor' between Camelback and Glendale, Mora has something for everybody. Clean wood and brick and red leather ambience with a large bar that opens onto a patio, Mora lives up to the picky pasta maker's reputation. If you haven't been, go... if you have been, go back and try something new. Our experience was first-class and our food was even better.

The Six | Seven Restaurant & Bar at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle is our 5th stop on the Bill & Sandi Go West Tour, and what a stop it was! You probably know the Edgewater from the famous picture of those zany lads from Liverpool fishing out of their window. In any case, the Six | Seven was a delight, full of character, fun, and delicious dining and drinking.Our food was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was always full of fun. Take a trip to Seattle just to visit the Six | Seven, and you'll know what we mean.
