On Adams Street, there hasn't been a high tide since 1902, when a severe storm dumped a giant bucket's worth of seawater inside the TD&W Handle Company. Since then, there hasn't been a high tide. The structure currently offers guests the luxury and delight of modern housing while retaining the appeal of its rich past. The freshest seafood the sea has to offer, in addition to spacious dining rooms, a breezy terrace paradise, an elegant upper bar, and other amenities such as these. We often find ourselves daydreaming about long-lost friends and exciting new adventures in which the sun brings joy and the rain showers blessings. The menu at this restaurant, which is located in the Germantown Hammer Mill complex and features plenty of indoor and outdoor dining as well as a breezy bar above, is always evolving; nonetheless, an extravagant seafood tower and oysters are always a terrific place to begin. EATER Nashville has compiled a list of the top 20 restaurants in the city to visit for a meal on a Monday, and The Optimist is one of them. We hope you choose our restaurant to enjoy your time whether you are just gathering with some friends or celebrating something special.
