Evelyn’s Opens its Doors With Steak Tartare and Towering Sundaes

Evelyn’s recently opened its doors at the Hutton Hotel with a focus on modern American fare. The downtown dining room pays homage to Evelyn Sharp, a 20th-century hotelier, investor, socialite, and art collector, with fine art reminiscent of Evelyn’s personal collection. The restaurant, which features a mid-century modern aesthetic, showcases a dinner menu that includes shareable snacks and small plates, like steak tartare, Nashville hot fish and chips, and desserts such as drop biscuit cobbler, s’mores chocolate cake, and Evelyn’s Sundae for Two.

Evelyn’s, which officially began service last week, will be open daily for breakfast, brunch, and dinner beginning at 7 a.m.

Experience a burger-fueled time machine at the Pharmacy Burger

The Pharmacy Burger is taking it old-school with a new burger series called the “Nashville Burger Time Machine.” The long-time local burger joint is paying tribute to classic Nashville restaurants that’ve closed by resurrecting some of their dishes or making a burger inspired by them. The nostalgic restaurants being remembered include Rotier’s Restaurant, Gold Rush, Edgefield Sports Bar & Grill, King Solomon Gyros, Arnold’s Country Kitchen, and Omni Hut. September’s specialty burger honors Rotier’s Restaurant with its famous Rotier’s Burger — a beef patty with extra cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles served on French bread. The specialty burgers in this series will be offered at both the McFerrin Avenue and the Assembly Food Hall locations.
