#6 in Fine dining#22 in Date night
What to get
- Pimento cheese with benne crackers
- A plate of Southern vegetables
- Husk cheeseburger at the downstairs bar
- Vinegar pie
When to go
Weekend brunch in the back garden is Infatuation's favorite way in; dinner books up on weekends.
Insider tip
Set in a historic Rutledge Hill house built in 1879 (Eater) by a Nashville mayor (Infatuation); the downstairs bar serves a reliable cheeseburger without the full dinner commitment. Sean Brock is long gone; the menu is run by Neighborhood Dining Group's team.
Heads up
Infatuation calls it 'reliable, solid' rather than cutting-edge. Great for introducing visitors to Southern ingredients, less so for chasing the newest thing.
