The Restaurant at W Nashville The Gulch
Newly added!
This isn’t your typical hotel restaurant. It’s a big, good-looking, warmly-lit American brasserie — there’s even a fireplace for chilly nights — with a menu of comfort-food standbys (you’ve got to love a place that serves both Maine lobster rolls and beer-can chicken) and a Music City vibe. And the knockout weekend brunch buffet will keep you going all day long.
Tailor Nashville Germantown
Newly added!
There’s a chic dinner party ambience at this unique restaurant, where chef-owner Vivek Surti — who first gained acclaim with his private supper-club repasts — draws on his South Asian heritage and his long relations with top regional food producers to create vivid fixed-price meals you won’t forget.
Nashville City Club SoBro
Newly added!
An opulent private club opened more than 65 years ago, Nashville City Club has made its first floor open to the public and you’re going to want to head there. Dubbed The Study, this speakeasy-style hideaway will make you feel like one of the elite as you enjoy classic cocktails (come for Martini Fridays) and tapas-inspired bar bites.
TENN Restaurant Nashville
Newly added!
When it’s brunch time in Music City, head for this cool, earth-toned dining room at Holston House, where chef Brian Lombard — born in L.A. but steeped in Southern food culture — makes mornings (and early afternoons) magical with specialties like fried green tomatoes with whipped feta and bacon jam, and a country ham croque madame.
St. Vito Focacceria The Gulch
It’s not pizza. It’s chef Michael Hanna’s brilliant take on the pronounce-it-if-you-can Sicilian flatbread called sfincione (“svyn-cho-nay”) — hefty focaccia-thick slabs, laced with melted fontina, finished with Pecorino and seasoned breadcrumbs, and topped with everything from tomato sauce and crabmeat to artichokes with roasted garlic — and we can’t get enough.
The Nashville Jam Company Berry Hill
Cortney and Gary Baron sell their fruit jams and pepper jellies nationwide, but only in Nashville can you dig into their morning-to-mid-afternoon café breakfasts, featuring tacos, Benedicts, pancakes, omelets, and more. Standout specialty: The PB&J chicken biscuit with, not peanut butter and jelly, but pimento cheese, bacon, and tomato jam.
Gray’s On Main Downtown Franklin
You’ll like this casual, comfortable Franklin favorite in the iconic 19th-century Gray’s Drug Co. building for its updated takes on classic Southern specialties (pimento cheese balls, fried chicken, shrimp and grits) plus live music three nights a week — and definitely save room for the epic dark chocolate Belgium brownie.
Henley Midtown
You’re more likely to find locals at this Kimpton hotel restaurant than travelers, which says a lot. We’re all just here for the comfortable dining room, Southern hospitality, and a big booth. Start with anything with whiskey in it, then move on to dishes like pork belly with tomato jam, and smoked chicken with strawberry relish.
Serrato’s Steakhouse – Franklin Franklin
This upscale-casual, art-filled establishment in Franklin from veteran chef Jose Serrato stands out brilliantly for its wide-ranging menu of appetizers and entrées, both traditional and inventive, and its choice of hand-cut signature steaks — look no further than a house specialty of two filets topped with crab and Cajun lobster butter sauce.
Lockeland Table Lockeland Springs, East Nashville
You’ll feel welcome the moment you walk into this East Nashville neighborhood hangout in a former 1930s-vintage dry goods store — and chef Hal Holden-Bache’s alluring menu, including Southern-flavored dishes, wood-oven pizzas, and an empanada of the night, will keep you coming back.
L.A. Jackson Gulch
Come with friends to this glittery indoor-outdoor rooftop bar and restaurant atop the Thompson Nashville and order a gigantic cocktail to share (the vodka-based Devil in a New Dress serves four to eight) before moving on to the garlic Parmesan fries and the warm chocolate chip skillet cookie.
Pink Hermit Café by Jean-Georges Downtown
Jean-Georges Vongerichten in Nashville means citrusy olives, beautiful salads, and truffle-topped pizzas, all served in the sleek, sun-drenched (at least during the day) Hermitage Hotel café.
