Nashville Restaurants

Nashville is not only the capital of Tennessee, but also the center of County Music. There is no shortage of dining establishments in Nashville. Many are one the moderate and budget end of the price range, but there are still some fine-dining institutions that offer patrons a luxury meal in a romantic setting; be sure to check out some of the more affluent hotels in the area for some well-rated and excellent menus.

The Capital Grille in the Hermitage Hotel is one of the well-rated establishments that offers patrons an "exceptional" American-style menu at a cost that's a bit more then others. It's also one of the city's "most elegant" dining options. The Capital Grille is a center that attracts affluent people, such as politicians and business men. There is a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, as well as a Sunday brunch. The wine list is "exclusive" and the service is "impeccable." If your wallet can take the hit of the high prices, this is the place to eat in Nashville.

For some of the "best country cooking" in the area, try the Loveless Cafe, situated in the Loveless motel. Their menu includes some real Southern-style cooking, including "award-winning" ham with "red eye gravy" and "real Southern-fried chicken." Their biscuits are homemade and so are their jellies and jams. The food is great and the prices are right, so why not stop by and experience some Southern cooking at it's best? Reservations are recommended because of their popularity. Prepare for a wait if you haven't planned ahead.
