Best West End Nashville Restaurant: Enjoy Elevated Comfort Food at The Tin Angel
Home to Centennial Park, the West End is known for its music festivals, its food, and a full-size replica of Greece’s Parthenon. A must-see neighborhood, it’s always got something going on.
Tin Angel co-owner Rick Bolsom once shared with Nashville Lifestyles his philosophy on food: "Make it good, make it interesting, and try to avoid getting weird for weird's sake." What’s important to him, when it comes to his restaurant’s menu of upscale American food, is comfort.
To that end, through his restaurant’s fare, he’s trying to create a rare pairing of bygone comforts with forward-thinking cuisine. So with each season, his chefs experiment with locally sourced ingredients to create a new menu, using such items as grass-fed beef and locally grown vegetables.
That blend of comfort and creativity extends to the restaurant’s interior, which features a freestanding fireplace, refurbished pub tables, brick archways, and local artwork beneath a pressed-tin ceiling, which gives a nod to the building's historic roots.
