Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in The Gulch & North Gulch

An Unforgettable Feast at Choy If you’re looking for a sign to book a table at Choy, this is it. I went in with high expectations, and somehow, they still managed to blow me away. Let’s start with the absolute star of the night: the duck. I don’t know what kind of magic they’re working in that kitchen, but this was next-level. Crispy, flavorful, and so good that it made us all go quiet for a minute—which, if you know our group, is saying something. Worth every penny. Now, let’s talk wine. The sommelier, Justin, is a wizard. He paired our wines so perfectly with each dish that we started trusting him with life decisions. Service? Impeccable. Our waiter was incredibly accommodating, especially with the gluten-free folks in our group. No eye rolls, no hesitation—just great recommendations and careful attention to detail. That level of hospitality is rare and so appreciated. Overall, Choy is a must-visit. The food is spectacular, the service is top-notch, and if you leave without trying the duck, you’ve made a terrible mistake. I’ll absolutely be back!!

My favorite restaurant in Tennessee did not disappoint (this was my 4th visit). Amazing food and watching it being plated before your eyes with explanation of each course by the chef elevated the experience.

My girlfriend and I chose Evelyn's for our Valentine's Day dinner and we are so happy that we did. The food was amazing and service was the best we've had in a year of living in Nashville. The meals and drinks came out quickly and our server Maddy was so kind. She went above and beyond to make our experience even better. We can't wait to come back!

Husband and I went for valentines day - had a great experience. Food was delicious, servers were kind and informative - very laid back evening. We were seated in the back area so the ambiance was a bit lacking compared to the main dining room but didn’t take away from our evening. Would go back for a date night!

elena reached out before we arrived and made sure our evening was special! there was a gift and a personalized menu for my boyfriend, since we were celebrating his birthday. tiffany stopped by and made sure to wish him a happy birthday as well. everyone from the host stand to the food to the service was amazing. i feel bag for not remembering our server’s name, but she was wearing a red headband and had curly hair. she was so sweet and had great recommendations. we’ll definitely be back! great hospitality!
