Review by Cayla Wilkinson

Locust in Nashville is a true gem! 🌟 The menu is seafood-forward and bursting with flavors that linger long after your meal.

We indulged in the tuna crisp, razor clams, and the unforgettable crab omelet - just divine! Plating is artful, and the horseradish vodka shot is a wild palate cleanser that sets the stage for an amazing dining experience.

Don’t miss out on the shaved ice dessert with its earl grey mousse and raspberry drizzle.

Reservations are a must, but the cozy atmosphere and delightful staff make it worth the wait. We can't wait to return! 🍽️✨
