"Sora, a rooftop spot in The Sheraton downtown, is all about the sushi and the view—360 degrees of windows overlooking the city transport you, especially at night, to somewhere more like Seattle than Music City. It’s the perfect place to sip cocktails with cheeky names like the Super Freak, a jalapeno, tequila, and pineapple number that’s sweet but not too sweet, and step outside the california roll comfort zone. The Bride roll comes generously draped in a yuzu crab mix, and they do a really good vegetarian maki full of hearty sweet potato, a silky corn creme brulee, and tempura fried carrot roll that we kept talking about long after we left." - ann walczak, carlo mantuano
