"Located at 2101 Green Hills Village Dr. on the former site of Carrabba’s Italian Grill, I'm following construction of a 57,000-square-foot, four-story Restoration Hardware outpost in Green Hills that will include food and beverage outlets curated by Chicago restaurateur Brendan Sodikoff. Sodikoff — founder and CEO of Hogsalt (which includes Au Cheval, Doughnut Vault, and Maude’s Liquor Bar) — partnered with Restoration Hardware in 2015 to form RH Hospitality, which oversees RH-related dining; online hiring posts for an executive chef, restaurant manager, and other Nashville staff from late December confirm the retailer’s culinary intentions. Although the exact offering for this location isn't finalized, based on the Chicago, Palm Beach, and Toronto RH cafes (whose posted menus are virtually identical), I expect a large cafe with wine and coffee bars and rooftop views from the fourth floor. The Mall at Green Hills owner pegs a spring 2018 opening, so I’ll be watching for more updates." - Matt Rogers
