James Beard-nominated chef Daniel Lindley’s Italian restaurant is our top pick for date night for its handmade pastas, extensive wine list, sultry décor, and dimly-lit patio.
On one side you have formal white-tablecloth restaurant serving up farm-fresh dishes like a pork chop white bean cassoulet. On the other, a laid-back spirited joint with shrimp rolls, burgers, and craft cocktails.
The simple, yet elegant restaurant has a strong Appalachian influence and rustic feel. Try the signature Appalachian Lunchable dish with deviled eggs, pickled shrimp, pimento spread, Tennessee country ham, and rosemary biscuits.
