Merchants Restaurant is located in the heart of Nashville's historic district in the 19th century Merchants Hotel and offers a number of dining experiences ranging from casual grills to fine dining and exclusive private parties. Quietly elegant and sophisticated, this restaurant is beyond doubt one of the best places for a business lunch, special dinner or a romantic evening with soft piano music and candlelit tables overlooking Broadway. Each of the three floors has its own unique appeal and distinct aspects of décor which assist in creating the right kind of setting, whatever the occasion.

From the grille menu you could opt for Creole crab cakes followed by pecan encrusted trout or something from the numerous salads, sandwiches and pastas which are available. The fine dining menu could bring you appetizers of shrimp and lobster fondue and afterwards an entrée of oven roasted duck breast with brandy cherry sauce with vegetable cous cous and Swiss chard. The eclectic drinks list features wines from some of the major wine producing countries.
