Mere Bulles - Brentwood, TN

This restaurant is in an old mansion. The original owners apparently owned everything around it at one time, but now it is surrounded by office buildings and hotels. Don't let this dissuade you, this is a fine restaurant and well worth going to.

If you just look at the menu, it seems pretty plain. Simple meals like Veal Chops, New York Strip, Prime rib and others like Phyllo Wrapped Sea Bass are going to wow you with their taste and presentation.

This time I had the Phyllo Wrapped Sea Bass, which is stuffed with shellfish, brie and spinach. It is then wrapped in buttered phyllo and served with an artichoke tomato beurre blanc. I do not know if the Sea Bass is good every night, but the this night it was remarkable. No fishy taste at all and not oily at all.

On a previous visit I had the Rib Eye, I highly recommend this also.

The staff makes your meal even more pleasurable with prompt accurate service and they really do put on that southern hospitality.

If you are in the Nashville area, take a little trip south of the city and enjoy an evening at Mere Bulles.
