Kayne Prime Steakhouse is the most exclusive, high-end steakhouse in Nashville's popular Gulch neighborhood. Located alongside three other M Street restaurants - Whiskey Kitchen, Tavern Midtown and Virago - Kayne is the premiere upscale establishment. Executive Chef Robbie Wilson offers guests amazingly delicious, farm-fresh, seasonal side dishes that complement each perfectly served and seasoned steak. The atmosphere is similar to other M Street restaurants, which tend to be furnished with dark woods and rich tones. The service is quick and helpful and exactly what you would expect from a top notch steakhouse. Reservations are recommended. -Lynn-nore Chittom

This quaint little eatery's charming and simplistic design will transport you to a quiet and picturesque village in Europe. Flower pots blossoming with color, a handwritten menu, and oversized sunflowers on the patio complement the simple, white tablecloths and exposed brick walls.

Try dishes like Grilled Quail with lentils and braised greens or Homemade Spaghetti with oven-dried tomatoes, olives, caper, and white anchovies. A good wine list tops off the meal.
