Take a Limo Trip to Lima: East Nashvillians are loving Limo, a new Peruvian restaurant nestled between Historic Edgefield and Lockeland Springs. Showcasing a melange of Chinese, Japanese, and South American cuisine that is a hallmark of Peruvian food culture, Limo’s food can feel familiar and exotic at the same time. That lomo saltado sure does look like a stir-fry dish until you discover the flavors of Peru’s national spirit, pisco, along with plantains and South American peppers.
Beatles and Bubbles:City Winery is a darned civilized place to watch a show, with bands starting on time, reserved seating, and access to a full menu of food and drinks. On weekends, they’re not afraid to let loose during thematic brunches such as a Beatles Brunch on Sunday, July 21 featuring one of the premier cover bands in the region or the Honky Tonk Country Brunch & Bubbles on July 28 with a full brunch buffet option.
Neighborhood Favorite: Soon after four long-time hospitality veterans came together in May to open up The Coral Club, a lively new cocktail bar in East Nashville, it didn’t take long to establish their new establishment as a neighborhood fave. Add excellent happy hour deals, a rooftop patio with views of the downtown skyline from a different perspective across the Cumberland, and a breezy menu of inventive cocktails and small bites, and you’ve got a formula for early success. And for more recent openings, check New on Resy.
Omakas-yay!: With its minimalist interior and chill vibe, Present Tense lives up to its name as a place to focus on the moment at hand. A modern version of a traditional izakaya, the á la carte menu allows diners to mix and match plates. However, for a truly unique evening, put yourself in the hands of the kitchen on Thursday through Saturday at 6 p.m. for a languorous omakase tasting menu and sake pairings at the six-seat chef’s bar. There’s also a more casual eight-course nightly omakase.
