8 new american rooms in Nashville we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Nashville | New American across every city.

Rolf and Daughters in Germantown helped define the modern era, while Drusie and Darr downtown and The Mockingbird in The Gulch carry the style into newer rooms with their own points of view.
