This is a very difficult reservation to get now that people worldwide are finding out how good this place is. And for good reason.My strategy in getting a spot here involved sitting at my computer and setting multiple alarms on my phone as to not miss the release of reservations for the following month. May the odds be ever in your favor. Luckily, I was able to score a prime spot on a Sunday at 7 PM. I invited my date to check this place out with me, one to test her and see if she could hang with me (a devout foodie), but also impress her. (Spoiler alert: Success on both I think.) Upon parking, (Linden has a ton of free parking) I walked up to the hostess who was so sweet and got me seated as I waited for the rest of my party to arrive. This place is absolutely gorgeous. The attention to detail in the design, materials used and open concept kitchen make you feel so at ease...and on top of that, as you walk in, everyone in the kitchen will exclaim multiple "Welcome Ins!!" It genuinely makes you feel like you walked into your best friend's house for dinner. Upon seating, there are 3 menus. A small food menu, a crispy boy menu (cocktails) along with some great N/A options, and a large 2 page wine list. It's entirely impressive. I ordered a Greek white wine and loved that they pour you a small taste to make sure you like it before filling your glass. My date had the N/A Riesling and was genuinely concerned that it could have alcohol in it, not because it was bad....but it was incredibly good. Not sweet like most people think Rieslings are. We ordered the clam soldiers, Pacific Gold Oysters, Tuna Crisp, Beef Tartare, ShrimpToast, Citrus Endive Cheese Salad, Lamb Dumplings and Bread Sauce and the Milk and Egg Ice. First, the oysters were plump. They were a lot bigger and deeper than most oysters I'm used to out here. The mignonette was perfectly balanced and tart, and it really brought the brine/sweetness out in the oysters. Then came the tuna crisp. This was like butter. Imagine tuna butter smeared on a crisp cracker, with a delicious (wasabi aioli?) below it. Incredible. Really thin sheets of tuna that completely coat your mouth with a richness akin to eating wagyu. So good. The beef tartare. SWOOOOON. This is served BYO hand roll style. Scoop (perfectly cooked) rice on top of some crisp nori, add a dollop of beef, sprinkle some crispy rice and roll it up and devour. This was incredible. 2nd favorite dish of the night for sure. On to the clam soldiers. These were really good! Slightly smoky, plump clams perched on top of a piece of griddled bread soaked with clarified butter and seared crisp. On top is an aioli/sauce of some sort and then the clams. This tasted like a smoky, chewy piece of really good garlic bread. On to the shrimp toast. This crispy little pocket came out with an orange lemon, a curious crossbreed from California and an orange sauce with chili oil. This was good, but not the star of the show. It was crispy and the shrimp patty inside was good as well. The citrus endive salad came out next with the lamb dumplings which was phenomenal timing. The bitterness of the salad counteracts the RICHNESS of the lamb dumplings. I made so many faces after my first bite of those lamb dumplings y'all. I'm surprised my date didn't run out of there thinking I was possessed. They are definitely in my top 5 dishes I've had in Nashville...hell maybe even the US. GET THESE. The endive salad was citrusy, rich and bitter in all the right places and is a perfect accompaniment to the dumplings. To (almost) end the night, the shaved ice came out with a fat layer of a malty, rich mousse and a golden yellow cured slightly salty egg yolk delicately sitting on it. Inside, tart/sweet passion fruit and honeycomb lay waiting to surprise us. Seriously such a phenomenal dessert. Get this. To end the meal, our server brought us a beautiful canelé cut in half, which was perfectly made...just like everything else in here. To sum things up Locust is sincerely deserving of all of the praise that is being thrown their way. These people genuinely enjoy what they do. You can taste the love and passion in the food, you can see it surrounding you in the decor and architecture and reflected in the faces of everyone eating around you. Plan accordingly, make a reservation and enjoy one of the best damn meals of your life here. 10/10 worth it. And get those lamb dumplings. You'll be transported into another dimension.
