Alexa Jane B.Alexa Jane Brooks: Unbelievable interior. That statue in the center is of General Nash, the namesake of Nashville. The food is amazeballs + drinks are delicious. Het the Venison. Also, a Manhattan. Don't forget dessert!

Carrie B.Carrie Bevis: The duck wings are out of this world, almost candy-like. The bison sirloin and tuna were both fantastic and expertly complimented with seasoning or sides. Save room for dressert.

Lou D.Lou D: James Beard nominee... enough said. Incredible food, service and drinks. Wood-fired pizzas, apps are all great accompaniments (or shared entrees). Jackaloo beer and the house Manhattan also stellar.

Washington PostWashington Post: This isn’t just a good restaurant, it’s a good neighbor. Instead of a happy hour, the restaurant hosts a “community hour”; a percentage of the proceeds from snacks and drinks goes to a local school. Read more.

EaterEater: Attached to the 404 Hotel and housed in a re-purposed storage container, it has been drawing crowds since opening. Matt Bolus is turning out creative dishes using products like house-made burrata.

CNNCNN: For his Tomato Galette, Matt envelops lemony ricotta in a toasted cornmeal crust, and piles on heirloom tomatoes—a twist on tomato pie without any pretension. Read more.
