The 13 Best Restaurants In Downtown Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Lona isn’t on the level of Bourbon Steak when it comes to fancy dinners, but it’s the city’s best new option for special occasion Mexican. You’ll find it in the former Makeready spot in the Noelle—a dimly lit dining room that could easily be mistaken for any place in Mexico City. A second or third date, executed in hushed tones, is definitely the move here. Split bites of a chipotle-spiced lump crab guacamole, a respectable queso fundido, and a well-seasoned steak tampiqueña with an undeniably fantastic version of refried beans." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
