Miel = Honey in French.
Lovely, intimate French restaurant on the west side. The chef is insane (in a good way), the owner Sima is fabulous, and the pork shoulder is to die for.

Great BBQ with locations in Sylvan Park, 12 South & East Nashville. The pulled pork is fantastic, the brisket tacos are a delicious lunch special. They also make fantastic cocktails and have a very nice patio/deck with indoor/outdoor bar.

Izakaya style (traditional Japanese pub) with amazing food and sushi. Starters include gems like the JFC (Japanese fried chicken) and shishito peppers. Excellent sushi and yakatori menu. Garlic noodles are great comfort food, and of course excellent ramen. Cocktails are also killer. They don't take reservations. Great for sharing. Pricey.

There are lots of famous bars downtown on Broadway, and although I don’t spend much time on broadway anymore I think the Dueling Piano Bar and ACME feed and seed are pretty fun. I recently went to George Jones rooftop bar and it was great, with an excellent view.

Pancake Pantry is walking distance and is popular with tourists, but I think it's worth the hype if you like pancakes. The Santa Fe cornmeal pancakes with jalapenos and bacon sounds weird but is very good, and their classic pancakes are also great. There will be a line but it moves fast! I recommend getting there very early.
