Don’t be fooled by the landlocked reputation of Tennessee – we have plenty of riverfront to wander and there are quite of few lakeside restaurants hiding behind our rolling hills. Nashville itself is quite the foodie behemoth in recent years, and these five restaurants around Music City offer a perfect reprieve from the daily grind. Whether you’re looking for respite or a good time with friends, these waterfront restaurants in Nashville are bound to give you a good time.
