Trevor Moran's 12 South restaurant runs an inventive Asian-leaning tasting format from a 20-seat counter — the kind of personal, format-defying cooking that's rare in any city. Moran (a Noma alum) draws on Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian traditions without sitting comfortably in any of them. The shaved ice course is the signature; the cocktail program is serious; the format demands trust. For one of Nashville's most original dining experiences.
