A Midtown tasting-menu room built around a single-counter format — chefs cook directly across from diners, the menu changes constantly, and the format demands a multi-hour commitment to the full experience. The Strategic Hospitality team (Pinewood Social, Bad Idea) opened it in 2011, and it's gone through multiple chef eras while staying one of Nashville's most ambitious dinners. For chef-driven tasting-menu dining in a city where that format is still rare.
