On the fly we headed to Germantown restaurant and catering biz, Mad Platter. The old brick building with high ceilings and "old city" Nashville charm delivered on service, cozy ambiance and appetizers. Our main courses fell short - Yancy's beef was bland and his mashed potatoes lackluster. My salmon was overcooked but paired with yummy grits, carrots, zucchini and wilted greens.
Like I said, the apps made up for it. We devoured the caesar (not too garlicky) and shrimp bisque (just the right combo of shrimp, white wine, stock, cream and mushrooms). We enjoyed the stuffed quail with sage. The ending was a happy one - try the 3 layer chocolate ganache - white, dark and milk abound finished with a graham cracker crust. Think of this as another Germantown/Downtown alternative...a few grades below the Watermarks and Radius 10's of our world. It does boast a wine list that may rival those two. A big shout out is due to our server, Daniel, who was johnny-on-the-spot without annoyance.
I'm back in the saddle in 2008...resolving to eat my way through Music City, so...
KEEP EATING OUT, NASHVILLE!
