The 17 Best Restaurants In The Gulch - Nashville - The Infatuation
"Situated on the ground floor of the W hotel, Carne Mare has all the makings of a timeless steakhouse, but the dishes here are more interesting than what's on the menu at other classics. That might have something to do with the fact that they bill themselves as an Italian chophouse, and you’ll definitely see some of that influence on the menu. Start with some oysters, a clean and slightly briny counterpoint to the rich caviar-topped mozzarella sticks and foie gras-filled mini ice cream cones you should follow them up with. The steaks, from the wagyu to the prime rib, are fantastic, as are the spicy lobster spaghetti and the 17-layer (yes, we counted) chocolate cake for dessert. Just know it gets a bit loud in here." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
