Two Ten Jack - Kieran's absolute favorite place, and one of my favorites. Hidden in East Nashville, this place has some incredible Japanese dishes from Ramen to Yakitori. The drinks are phenominal and if the weather is good the patio is awesome. Definitely call ahead or use the app Resy since they are strict about how many people they can have at once.

Chauhan Ale and Masala House - Super good and interesting Indian food that isn't your typical stuff. They continually win awards for their burger oddly enough but I've had it and it is awesome. The owners also own The Mockingbird and Tansuo and are all on the same block. Each place has a solid menu with a great variety. I've heard excellent things about the Peking Duck at Tansuo.
