Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in East Nashville

This is my favorite restaurant in all of Nashville and never ever disappoints. Every meal transcends any expectation (and having been there many times my expectations are already pretty high). Going to Peinsula makes it hard to go to any other restaurant because very few are as good or as consistent. Every element of the dining experience makes me happy-the service is stellar, the drinks inventive, the vibe is somehow chill, classy and comfortable, the music is always great, and the food just rocks. Yeah they have the James Beard but they should have at least one Michelin Star if not two. I have nothing but gratitude for Craig, Yuriko and Jake for creating a culinary oasis and my personal happy place.

Service, vibes and food all 10/10. The pork coppa was one of the best pork meals I’ve ever had.

LOVE, LOVE,LOVE THE FOOD, ATMOSPHERE only issue was the music was TOO LOUD. But, we’ll be back for the GREAT food and SERVICE!

The food was amazing, really delicious.. the flavors were perfect, the combination of flavors incredible.. Definitely i want come come back.. I will come back.

Went to Lyra for a girls night and had the best time. I’ve been to Lyra many, many times before and have *never* been disappointed or underwhelmed - it has always been a fantastic experience all around every time. Our server, Bronwyn, was fantastic & so nice. I also want to give credit to the rest of the team that night as well. The whole restaurant seems to be working as a unified team to take care of all the customers, which isn’t something I see all the time. Service, food, drink, and ambience were all 5 stars and I’d give more if I could. Great cocktails and wine selection. The flavors of the food also work in perfect harmony. There is a reason Lyra is one of my favorites in Nashville!
