Innovative Japanese cuisine with flair
Message from Natasha Ibrahim

Present Tense is a cool spot in Nashville where Chef Ryan Costanza brings his global culinary adventures to the table, blending minimalist Japanese vibes with top-notch ingredients and charcoal magic. With a killer sake list, natural wines, and fancy cocktails, it's a vibe. Plus, there's a 6-seat omakase counter for a fancy 12-course tasting menu experience. The team, led by Rick Margaritov and Kenneth Vanhooser, knows their stuff and creates a warm, inviting space where guests can just chill and live in the present tense. It's all about good food, good drinks, and good vibes at Present Tense.
