As a good option, it is always wise to ask the hotel clerk, what is the best place around?; most of the time you will be good. This was one of those times that worked out very well. We were sent to a local place several blocks down from the hotel, Darfons.
We started out with the crab cakes and combo appetizer which included wings, chicken tenders, cheese sticks & fried loaded potato bites; the cheese sticks were more like logs with a slight crunchy batter; very good. For the main course, I ordered the special of the night, Herbs de province seared Salmon. This was one large piece of salmon coated with a chiptle-tomato sauce, sitting atop sauteed spinach with garlic-basil oil with a base of crispy fontina polenta. The polenta was very thick and filling while the special tomato sauce really set off the salmon. The garlic oil also helped keep everything loose and moist. My favorite drink, Sprite with extra limes, really provided a good balance to the salmon. A very good meal. Don't let the outside fool you; this is a very good restaurant with great service to boot; a must to stop by when in Nashville.
