- SSandiAsheville / Western North Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoPhenomenal experience! Great food and service in a very comfy environment. We’re locals who share dining experiences with our besties and we call our brunch trips “destination unknown“ shhhhh! It’s a secret! because one couple (we take turns) picks a spot for brunch, unknown to the friends and pick them up- drive the other couple to the destination, with a selection of adult beverages (champagne and mixed cocktails in the back seat) but don’t worry…..The coordinating couple always has a designated- safe, non alcohol drinking driver! And this spot was such a gem, we all loved the food, cocktails and we’ll definitely return and highly recommend it!More infoThe TreehousePrice: Expensive• American• East Nashville•4.8

- MMatthewVIPNashville •135 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAnother lovely meal at Penninsula. Small innovative plates with unusual ingredients and interesting flavors ... each one delicious as well as a work of art, many comparable to what you'd get in a one-star Michelin restaurant in Europe. Wish it wasn't quite so expensive so we could go more often ... but every place good is these days.More infoPeninsulaPrice: Expensive• Modern European• East Nashville•4.9
