A steakhouse that routes around Music City

Eddie V's Prime Seafood brings upscale coastal dining to the heart of Broadway, offering an elevated experience that stands apart from Nashville's typical honky-tonk scene. Located at 590 Broadway, this sophisticated establishment delivers the kind of refined atmosphere and exceptional cuisine that transforms any evening into a special occasion, whether diners are celebrating a milestone or simply craving the finest seafood and steaks in Music City.

The menu showcases premium seafood flown in daily alongside expertly prepared steaks that rival the best steakhouses in the country. Signature offerings include fresh oysters from both coasts, lobster tail prepared to perfection, and prime cuts of beef that melt in the mouth. The raw bar features an impressive selection of shellfish, while the kitchen's preparation of dishes like Chilean sea bass and dry-aged ribeye demonstrates the culinary team's commitment to excellence.

The interior exudes sophisticated elegance with dark wood finishes, intimate lighting, and a refined ambiance that feels both contemporary and timeless. The spacious dining room features comfortable leather seating and well-spaced tables that allow for private conversation, while the bar area provides a more casual setting for those enjoying craft cocktails and small plates. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale dining and approachable hospitality.

This establishment serves as Nashville's premier destination for special occasions, business dinners, and romantic evenings when diners want to indulge in exceptional cuisine and impeccable service. The combination of world-class seafood, premium steaks, and sophisticated atmosphere makes it ideal for celebrating anniversaries, closing important deals, or treating out-of-town visitors to an unforgettable Nashville dining experience.

№ 04 · The Verdict

What earns the 7.5

01
Broadway address, national program

The address is Broadway, but the format, a national seafood and steak chain, has nothing to do with honky-tonk Nashville and doesn't pretend to.

02
The raw bar carries it

Oysters from both coasts and a lobster tail built for the occasion crowd put the kitchen's strength on the shellfish, not on any local claim.

03
Built for the ask

Dark wood, spaced tables, and a steakhouse price point read as designed for anniversaries and business dinners, not for a regular Tuesday in town.

How we score

The Insider Score is our own 10-point editorial rating, set by the writer who covers the room. It is never an average of other sites’ stars, and it is never for sale. It weighs three things:

01Track record

How highly a kitchen rates, across how many diners, over how long.

02Consistency

Whether recent diners still agree with the long-term verdict.

03Distinction

What the kitchen does that its category does not.

Eddie V's Prime Seafood earns a 7.5, excellent on our scale for Seafood in Nashville.
