If you're looking for an elegant dining experience, I would recommend The Capitol Grille at the Hermitage Hotel in downtown Nashville. Executive Chef Tyler Brown prepares each dish using the freshest ingredients, creating southern cuisine for every occasion with an emphasis on certified Tennessee Black Angus Beef and game, and market fresh seafood. Contact info: 615-254-6909 (231 Sixth Avenue North, Nashville TN)

I would also recommend Flemings Steakhouse. They offer some of the finest prime beef available - marbled and aged up to four weeks. They also offer the freshest seafood and a tempting array of delicious salads, sides and desserts. Contact info: 615-342-0131 (2525 West End Avenue, Nashville TN)

Best,

Allan,

I see you have gotten some good advise let me also suggest something to you. Try checking out musiccitytours.com, they are a travel and sightseeing company that can help you make the most of your trip. Keep in mind that late September into October starts the fall foliage or colors and Nashville does start getting busy. Hotels def. need to be booked. My advise ask yourself where and what you would like to do. Downtown is great and the hotels are nice but if you don't want the traffic that comes with that try the opryland are where the fmous Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Opry House is. I would rec. the Guest House Inn if you aren't looking to spend the Opryland price. The reason I rec. this site is b/c they have packages already put together to assist you in the best possible trip. I personally would rec. the Discover nashville trip or even the walking tour. The have an all day pass that gives you a 1 hour trolley tour, walking tour of Downtown to include the Ryman with a tour guide who looks just like Willie Nelson and yes actually sings for him. You will also get a pass to go to the Country Music Hall of Fame on your own time. Discover Nashville also allows you to see the sites but without the walking tour. Also think about doing the Jack Daniels Distillery. It really is a neat tour and a great drive to Lynchburg with a informative guide. If you are looking to see some of the local songs check out the Nashville Palace by the Opryland Hotel or go to Printers Alley and Broadway, this is the downtown area with the Honkey Tonks. I sure hope this helps with your planning. Please feel free to ask me questions
