Best Casual Restaurants in Donelson

Noko was fantastic and our waiter Mitch was the man. Really appreciate his knowledge and attention to detail on our entire experience. It was our first time and we will definitely be coming back. My wife and I guy 7 different dishes and Mitch gifted us one he didn’t want us to miss out on. Best of the Best: Tuna Crispy Rice, Lobster Bao Buns, Korean Hot Wings, Brussels Good: Burrata - maybe a little too sweet with the jam. Not our favs: bone marrow, crab fried rice Overall this experience was awesome and the entire menu sounded fire. Great date night spot!

What a lovely evening at LYRA. From the warm greeting at the door, servers who were friendly yet still professional, beautiful and delicious food journey and a special touch to help us celebrate a birthday. We will absolutely return to LYRA on the regular. Thank you to this team for a great experience.

This is one of our favorite places to go to. We have been there with friends who have never been to France and we assure them just how authentic it feels. I would highly recommend Once Upon a Time in France to anyone wanting to experience great French cuisine with a staff that is friendly, informative, and appreciative.

A unique ‘aquarium’ atmosphere with excellent service, made this dining experience, prior to attending the Grand Ole Opry, very pleasant. Our server, Avery, was excellent. Her personable demeanor, and helpful assistance, together with her knowledge of the fish swimming by, made for a very nice evening. My wife and I both had versions of dishes with crawfish, shrimp & andouille sausage. Both were satisfyingly at reasonable prices, as was the wine list.

Great, except for all of the wasps. They were outside and INSIDE the restaurant which made for an uncomfortable dining situation.
