We went for dinner for Valentine’s Day. This was our first time at Fancypants. The staff, every one of them, were fantastic. Super friendly and attentive as well as knowledgeable about everything they served. The complimentary cocktail at the door was very good and unexpected. We sat in the heated outdoor section and it was beautifully decorated and the temperature was perfect. We were aware going into this experience that it’s not your average restaurant experience, and we were excited. We decided to go with the higher priced steak option at the recommendation of our server. I won’t go through all of the courses as there were many things brought to the table (4 courses including the steak). The overall experience was fun, and the atmosphere was very nice, but I am disappointed to report that the majority of the food was either not so good, or just outright not appetizing at all. Most glaringly the steak was not good at all. We don’t know if it’s just because of the wood fire flavor, or some kind of seasoning, but there was no flavor at all from the beef itself. The steak comes with a side of sauce and the sauce is also not good. Also important to note, and I’m sure this information is written plainly on the menu, you are paying $125 per person (2 people minimum) for 1 steak to share. Last note, the location. Fancypants is located on Dickerson Pike directly across the street from government assistance housing, not a huge deal in and of itself, but kind of crazy to think that for 2 of us to go to dinner on Dickerson Pike for food that was mostly not appetizing I spent $384. We would love to see this improve, but as of now we will not be returning.

Fancypants - the restaurant you didn’t know you needed in your life. This restaurant stands out from all other Nashville eateries based purely on the menu and staff! The food is amazing with unique flavors combining the best of multiple cuisine concepts. The staff is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, friendly and will go above and beyond to ensure you have an amazing experience. So far we have been twice, and both times we have left with an amazing experience. Do yourself a favor - just order the full gamut of entrees with the Chefs Steak Dinner. It’s easily the best way to experience what this amazing restaurant has to offer. We’ve decided it’s easily one of our top locations in all of Nashville!

I can’t recommend FancyPants enough! I’ve been a couple of times now, each with a different menu, and every visit has blown me away. From the creative dishes to the elevated overall experience, everything feels thoughtful and intentional. The food is upscale but actually tastes good, which feels rare these days. If you’re looking for a truly unique dining experience, this is well worth the reservation. MUST try: Butternut Squash Pesto Pasta Vodka Shells
