Nashville’s Newest Restaurant Openings, Now on Resy

The dazzling views of the Music City skyline from the 19th floor of the 1 Nashville Hotel are reason enough to visit this luxuriously spacious indoor-outdoor venue, but the seasonally focused cocktails and the menu of craveable bar snacks (sushi included) really seal the deal.

This sleek, greenery-accented establishment between The Nations and Sylvan Park is making its mark for its upscale but accessible modern American cuisine — with a special shoutout due to the tantalizing cocktail program, the work of proprietors Matthew Ramos (of Yolan) and Wes Taylor (of The Patterson House).

Australia comes to Music City at this beachy neighborhood-focused restaurant and café — an offshoot of the New York City original — where Sydney-born proprietor Henry Roberts’ team serves bright, fresh fare, including meats raised on the Roberts family farm in upstate New York.

You’ll want to come back again and again to this luminous Italian venue from Anthony Scotto, whose Fresco by Scotto has been a New York City essential for almost 30 years, so you can sample all the seductive choices on the burrata-to-tagliatelle-to-veal-chop menu.

Now here’s a concept for a restaurant: the social media phenomena @friday.beers and @almost.friday are brought to life at this combination sports bar, restaurant, music venue, dance club, and gaming den with a menu of tailgate-style food, a “suckdown” beverage list, and a house-party sense of fun.

You’ll be happy to discover this unexpected venue: a cool Japanese enclave, serving temaki (hand rolls) using seafood straight from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market, behind the upstairs bar at star chef Sean Brock’s otherwise Appalachian-themed Audrey.

It’s easy being green at this rustic-chic-looking restaurant at the eco-friendly 1 Nashville Hotel, where culinary director Chris Crary, a onetime “Top Chef” contender, sources 75% of his ingredients from within a 200-mile radius, composts and recycles everything — and incidentally serves a menu of must-try modern Southern dishes.
