Nothing marks spring like the start of Nashville’s patio season. A warm breeze, sunshine on the shoulders, and hopefully, a cocktail in hand. With so many great options around town, we’ve picked out a few of our favorite perches by neighborhood. Now, go get a table outside.
West Nashville
Miel

What to order: Artisanal Cheese Selection and Marinated Olives
