Every once in a while, you may want to treat yourself to a nice meal at a fine dining restaurant, whether you want to celebrate a special occasion or a job promotion, mark an anniversary or special date night, or simple enjoy a delicious meal from world-class chefs. Tennessee is home to countless restaurants perfect for the occasion, but one was recently recognized as the best in the state.
According to a list compiled by 24/7 Tempo, the best fine dining restaurant in Tennessee is Yolan, a Nashville establishment with a focus on Italian cuisine. Yolan is located at 403 4th Avenue S.
Here's what the site had to say about the best fine dining restaurant in Tennessee:
"Tony Mantuano was the chef at Chicago's best Italian restaurant, Spiaggia, for 35 years, accumulating not just countless fans but also a Michelin star, several James Beard Awards, and many other accolades. Nashville lucked out when he moved to the city after Spiaggia fell victim to the pandemic, and he now runs this superlative restaurant there. The fare is authentic and often unusual — for instance, risotto with salt cod and Meyer lemon, spinach and tortelli with brown butter and sage, and a 55-day dry-aged Kansas City bisteca fiorentina, enough for two."
To determine its list, 24/7 Tempo looked at reviews and ratings on local, regional and state sites and "[extrapolated] a shortlist of establishments that fit the fine-dining bill." The list includes eateries that run the culinary gamut from sushi bars and French restaurants to steakhouses and establishments with fixed-price menus.
