The 22 Best Restaurants in Nashville

"It's no longer as impossible to score a reservation here as it once was (you can prepay on Tock for early and late seatings, sometimes the same week you plan to eat), but the experience feels just as exclusive as it always has. Up the stairs and through a narrow hallway above the Patterson House are 22 seats in a U shape around what can only be called a show kitchen. This is where Chef Brian Baxter puts his own take on the chef incubator that has been home to Will Aghajanian and Liz Johnson, Ryan Poli, Trevor Moran, Josh Habiger and Erik Anderson. Baxter’s leaned into local ingredients and Low-Country vibes. In addition to wine pairings there’s a kombucha pairing, too, featuring house-made kombucha. When the restaurant moves into its new high-profile location in the Voorhees building it will continue its incubator pattern and bring in someone else to tap in for Baxter." - Margaret Littman
