The Optimist is an absolute gem in Nashville! 🌟 My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and were blown away by the cozy atmosphere and exceptional service.

We indulged in baked oysters and the lobster roll, both bursting with flavor. The fish fried rice was a delightful surprise, showcasing incredible texture.

To top it off, we enjoyed a complimentary pineapple upside-down cake - simply divine! The staff was attentive without being overbearing, making our experience all the more memorable. Can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! 🍽️✨
