The hotel's lobby decor and restaurant is gorgeous - textured fabrics, music-inspired art, iron sculpture and wooden accents gives Hutton and 1808 Grille a country meets Music City look. We loved the napkins (patterned with a flower, unlike the traditional black or white!) The staff was accommodating but a little hurried.
The food was good but not great. We had the pork appetizer on a corn cake - the pork was very tender. However, we also noshed on their romaine heart salad which was a little bland. My friend, Mollie, loved her pear salad though. Pam had the short ribs last time and really enjoyed. This time she got the sliced tenderloin with guacamole and liked the pairing. Mollie and I dug into the duck gnocchi with mustard greens. They served us a side of roasted beets that were ho-hum (wished their had been a mixture of golden and red beets although I'm not sure if they could get them fresh which likely would influence.)
The final word - I hope the food eventually meets the high-end surroundings (and prices.) As always, get out there and try for yourself so...
KEEP EATING OUT, NASHVILLE!
