8 new american rooms in Nashville we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Nashville | New American across every city.
New American cooking is Nashville's restaurant lingua franca, built on local sourcing, an open-ended menu and a refusal to sit inside one tradition. 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.
