"Southside Grill has been around since 2010, but it’s owned by Bill Darsinos, whose family has long-standing culinary ties in Nashville (i.e. Darfons, Greko, and the recently opened SweetMilk). You’ll find the place packed during weekday happy hour and weekend brunch, with locals lining the indoor dining room and cozying up on the covered patio. Start your meal with filet-topped bruschetta before moving on to mains like pistachio chicken on goat cheese mashed potatoes, and finishing off the experience with a slice of chocolate cake." - Kellie Walton
