NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's a busy Wednesday at Superica in the Gulch. The "elevated Tex-Mex" menu is popular. But this week, something else is drawing diners.
It's Dine Nashville's "Restaurant Week" — with the spotlight on food. Lots of it. Dozens of restaurants take part, with deals, discounts, and more, from longtime favorites to newcomers.
"Deals and promotions — fun events like this — will make people remember just how good the food scene is here,” says Superica server Suzanne Taylor. "I've had a note of restaurants to try on my phone since I moved here in 2020. And I swear it's not gotten any shorter; if anything it's gotten longer!”
Superica is just one of more than 50 eateries across Nashville taking part in Restaurant Week. In fact, just a short walk around the corner, we found another restaurant taking part with some palate-pleasing plates: Marsh House at Thompson Hotel.
Beverage Director Todd Johnston looks forward to this unique event, to not only celebrate but also to show off.
"I think it's a chance to really celebrate restaurants in Nashville," Johnston told us. "This is an opportunity for each restaurant participating to kind of show what they do best."
At Marsh House, fresh seafood is the specialty. This week, it's fresh gumbo, shrimp toast and a swordfish entree — for $40!
"I think not only new concepts are coming to town but a new caliber of restaurant, which y'know, it's either from fine dining to just elevated and approachable to fast-paced, and yeah. You have options," Johnston said.
Plenty of options... and plenty of great dining deals. If you’re interested, check out our online interactive map – with participating eateries – and their specific specials.
