I can't even start to tell you what each dish was but the whipped feta and the bacon wrapped figs are awesome. We had the Chef's Tasting Menu and the just keep bringing the food. It's honestly a great value for the table. We love to come here. The only negative we had tonight was the salmon that came with the avocado crispy rice a was a bit over. Other than that another fabulous meal here.

5 stars. If I could I'd give it even more stars I would. Amazing food, vibe, service, and experience. This one WILL NOT disappoint. GO HERE! Love the open concept kitchen and got lucky to sit at the high top area overlooking. It really added to the experience. The kitchen is also very inventive and we got to witness them creating new dish concepts. This is meal I will be dreaming about and will be back as soon as I can. Highly recommend the Chef's Choice option.

LOVE this place!! Easy to make a reservation, if you're going to a concert at Basement East eating here before is a must. The back patio is a fun vibe on a beautiful night! Love the tapas, but they're good portions too! Favorites are Bacon Wrapped Dates, Whipped Feta, Pork and Beef Meatballs!

Definitely plan on a reservation if you can -- we were here on a Monday night and it was packed. Very cool vibes in here including a nice patio. It was hot outside or we would have gladly sat outside in the courtyard area. We had a ton of things and most of them were amazing. The rundown: - bacon wrapped dates. Good but pretty standard. - whipped feta. Life changing. It's good with the chicken (chicken is fab) but it's great on its own. - crispy pork belly. This was pretty meh, not what I'd expect from pork belly - pork and beef meatballs. WOW these were amazing as well as the sauce that came with it. Be warned the spice doesn't play around! - citrus salad. I really enjoyed this -- bright fruit flavors and crunchy radicchio with the perfect amount of goT cheese. - herb falafel. Very good! Loved the whipped pistachio and avocado sauce and the zesty onions. - raspberry pineapple gazoz beverage -- a nice NA option! Would return here in a heartbeat next time I'm in Nashville. What a solid restaurant.

We had the chefs choice experience and it was amazing! Drinks were creative and fun. The wine selection is pretty good as well. There were carrots, whipped feta, fresh pita, pea salad, falafel, meatballs, and a few more. The dessert was outstanding as well. Service was great as well... Jake helped us at the bar. Great experience! Can't wait to come back.

Sitting in East Nashville on Main Street, Butcher & Bee is pretty unassuming from the exterior. A painted brick building and a box sign is all you get...then you walk in and are immediately transported to a vibey, industrial, new age and uniquely local restaurant that features 1.5 stories of dining space, a bar, open kitchen and great outdoor dining space! This space combined with the amazing cocktails, phenomenal food and great service made for a phenomenal night out! Dinner is served tapas/small plate style, so we opted for a few things off the starters and then one shared plate, and it turned out to be the perfect amount of food. We started with the whipped feta and meatballs. Now if you take one thing from my review, please let it be the whipped feta! It was AMAZING! Meatballs were tender and doused in a curry based sauce that gave them a little kick, so keep the drinks close. For the shared plate we opted for the fried avocado rice with shawarma chicken. It was delightful, but also had a bit of a kick as well! Luckily they seem to know, so they leave you a bottle of water on the table at all times. While the food is certainly enough to bring us back, the open concept, including the kitchen, was such a cool experience. We were lucky enough to belly up to the bar looking into the kitchen and it was really cool to see all the happenings and magic they are creating! Oh, quick tip, make a reservation. Overall, Butcher & Bee has officially made it into the top 10 spots for us in Nashville. Looking forward to coming back many times!

LOVED my dinner at Butcher & Bee! This place has great reviews for a reason! First off, the space is so cool! Really beautifully decorated with a ton of plants and fun vintage store decor. I sat upstairs and loved the ambiance. My friend and I decided to do the chef tasting and the waitress was really helpful- she explained how it worked and made recommendations on what to order based off of our taste preferences. I would definitely return and do it again because I felt like the price was right and everything tasted delicious. I enjoyed the cocktails as well and will definitely recommend this to friends when they come to visit Nashville!

Such a vibey place! Recommend! Ambiance is incredible, we ate indoors and loving all the moody vibes leathers industrial sorta whimsical atmosphere! Service was great! Our server was friendly and paid attention to the details making sure our waters and coffees were full and gave such great input / info about the menu! Food yes yes yes!! All of it! You literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu and I love the family meal option to try all the things. My husband and I split the short stack and the breakfast sandwich. Both were phenomenal and absolutely recommend. The potatoes have seasoning and are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside yummmm! The bread on the breakfast sandwich had such a great flavor and texture. Same with the pancakes the sweet and salty. I think I got a bite with salt? But the flavor and texture of the pancakes were incredible. Mouth watering good.... We had great company as well which just amped it all up.

We booked this for our friends 40th birthday dinner. The staff was exceptional and extremely attentive. I'd recommend this if you need a space for a large friend group, but there are things to consider. There was a party minimum but we were there for a couple hours and never felt rushed, or was easy to hit the minimum with drink orders. My only critique was that I wish they would have brought more food plates, since the app portions were tiny. Since we were in a large group we opted for the chefs choice menu and while the food was unique and delicious, I didn't feel like there was enough for each section. For example the tables were divided into sections, our area had 5 people and they brought us a small plate of 3 meatballs. So we were cutting little meatballs in half. We also weren't brought enough pita for the dips but they did bring extra when I asked. It felt like for the minimum being $88 per person, we should have been given a few more small plates to go around, meaning more portions. But the food and service were great so I'd come back on a date night or with a smaller group of friends.

We came as a group of 6 and ordered the "eat like a chef" experience and had a great meal and experience. Every dish was very different and all served family style, perfect for sharing and trying most of the restaurant's menu. Our favorite dish were the whipped feta, pan seared scallops, za'atar smoked chicken and for dessert the chocolate Malabi. Our server was attentive and great at guiding us through the menu. This place is great at accommodating groups and I will come back to try the rest of the menu.
