The menu at this tony Belle Meade eatery changes daily — depending on what’s fresh and available locally and across the country — so it might be impossible to step into the same river twice, so to speak. But the repertoire of European and Mexican-inspired dishes is consistently creative and fresh. Expect the unexpected, from a grilled tentacle of octopus to seared Wagyu carpaccio. An exhaustive wine list and a soufflé of the day bookend the meal at this casually elegant culinary destination, which is equally suited to burgers on the patio and wine dinners in the private dining room.
Brothers Huseyin and Harun Ustunkaya are from the Anatolia region of Turkey, and they’re calling upon their upbringing in a resort city and their background in the hospitality industry to create a genuine but upscale ethnic dining experience. While the bulk of dishes will sound familiar to anyone who has eaten in Middle Eastern restaurants—hummus, dolmas, gyros and kabobs—Anatolia separates itself with a commitment to quality, top-notch product and ingredients, a light hand with oil, a superb sense of seasoning and an emphatic freshness. What most distinguishes this restaurant is a small selection of dishes described as Klasik Turk Ev Yemekleri, which Huseyin translates as Turkish home cooking—specialties not even typically found in restaurants in Turkey. One of the best of these is manti, or Turkish ravioli, a rich and hearty creation of homemade pasta pinched around dabs of seasoned ground beef, immersed in a garlic-yogurt-butter sauce. Be sure to order the kunefe dessert at the same time as your entrées, as it takes 20 minutes to prepare this honey-laced, cheesy, phyllo-dough construction so absolutely divine as to please the gods. 
Cross the threshold from Belle Meade to Japan at this friendly, no-nonsense sushi bar, which offers a menu of predictable rolls and a list of cooked entrees.
Owned by native Sicilian Caesar Randazzo and his son, chef Vito, this long-running Nashville eatery serves up Italian fare in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.

A pizza, pasta and salad buffet is available daily from 11 am to 3 pm. late-night delivery is available.
Family-friendly barbecue chain serving ribs, steaks, chicken and catfish. 
A quick alternative to fast food, with hand-patted burgers grilled over charcoal right in front of your very eyes. There are also turkey burgers, black bean burgers, beefalo burgers and veggie burgers, all of which are surprisingly tasty—particularly the spicy black bean. A chilled buffet case holds fresh accoutrements, including green leaf lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers and jalapeños.

Longtime Mexican restaurant nestled in the corner of Lion’s Head Plaza. 
A location easily accessed by Belle Meade and Bellevue, this casual restaurant is a popular dinner destination for families from both neighborhoods thanks to its fairly conventional menu of pastas and pizzas, moderate pricing and generous portions. 
Yes, it's a chain, but the fact that it's a Nashville-based company buys J. Alexander's some credibility with its growing audience of devotees who overlook the corporateness to stand in line for good food, good service and a fern-less, white-tablecloth casual ambiance. Steaks, burgers, rotisserie chickens, shrimp and ahi tuna arrive on huge plates, accompanied by shoe-string fries or other worthwhile sides. The Alex's salad with its warm, honey-drizzled croissant and generous bacon and cheese topping can serve as a full meal. You'll never leave hungry, and J. Alexander's is generally loud and dark enough to drown out kids‹other people's or your own. 
A cheap and cheerful chain, this locally owned family of Mexican restaurants offers standard-issue South-of-the-border fare, including the requisite chips and salsa and margaritas. Fajitas are generous, service is friendly and good with kids.

Ninki, the Japanese character denoting “popular” or “famous,” is scrawled in dramatic oversized calligraphy behind the sushi bar, where silver-skinned fish the size of boogie boards compete for attention with a bubbling aquarium of live lobsters. Owner Ken Kang effected an impressive transformation of the Belle Meade Plaza storefront that formerly housed the Gallery of Belle Meade. The Harding Pike store is Kang’s third restaurant, after Sakura Blue in Louisville and a smaller 5-year-old Ninki Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi in Owensboro, Ky.
