Events / Restaurants 'Eat Out for Nashville' — Tonight's the Big Night!
Posted by Chris Chamberlain on Mon, May 17, 2010 at 5:54 AM
It's an amazing list, as you'll see after the jump. Some of the city's oldest dining establishments signed on, as did ones that opened while the flood waters were still swirling. Our Top Chef contender Arnold Myint is even on deck. Big thank you's also to Lazzaroli's Pasta, which is opening today just for the occasion, and Patterson House, which won't be open tonight but is donating just the same tomorrow. Most restaurants are donating from their dinner proceeds, but some are doing things differently (as noted in the list below). Feel free to contact the establishments directly if you have any questions.
So get together a group of friends and enjoy a good meal somewhere tonight while you help the flood relief effort. And don't forget to thank the restaurant management (and servers and staff) for participating. Between this one day event and the ongoing relief efforts by so many other spots around town, I continue to be amazed and humbled to be associated with this wonderful community.
Get out and do some good tonight! So where are you going, Bitesters? Full list below:

I love that O'Charley's signed up.... it's mine and my husband's COC (Chain of Choice).

I thought I read that Miro District was participating. I hope so as I made a reservation. Anyone know for sure?
@ Liza J, ditto! I called and the phone isn't disconnected yet, but no one is answering it. Just had a great meal from there in about Feb.
WestEndGirl- you are correct, Miro District IS participating. Here's a link to their facebook page announcing it: http://www.facebook.com/mirodistrict#!/mir…
I just had lunch at The Perch in Brentwood, where I ordered both a savory and sweet crepe- all in the name of charity of course! Dinner tonight at Amerigo, followed by dessert at Bravo Gelato. Boy, I am going to be seriously stuffed before this day is done!
Just got back from Lazzaroli's, and if the turnout there is any indication, tonight's going to be one for the record books. His sauces were rapidly heading out the door, I think I might have gotten the last fettuccini, and Tommy Noodles said business had been booming.
Late lunch at Nuvo Burrito (YUM!!) followed by some pasta shopping at Lazzaroli's. The goat cheese & pear ravioli with brown butter sauce rocks my face off. Hope everyone supports these and all the other establishments that are giving back!

Lazziz = pretty good Persian. Glad this worthy event caused us to give it a try.
We were absolutely packed out tonight. Thanks for the support! And thanks to Chris Chamberlain for all his work!
Just got back from Cha Chah - completely understaffed for the turnout tonight and the food was just ok to boot. We had to wait 20 minutes after being seated to get water and menus, and then 45 more minutes later before our server even brought out some bread to nibble on because the kitchen was so backed up. I'm trying really hard not to judge it based on just tonight, since most places were probably crazy, but it just wasn't a good experience. At least the money went to charity!
Went to O'Charleys on Rivergate. Arrived 6:05, sat at 7:45.....paid bill at 9pm. They were not prepared at all!!! I should have just dropped off 10 dollars to the community foundation. However, I hope that others enjoyed their night and bunches of proceeds pile up!
Now we need a list of restaurants that took a financial hit because of the flood and invite folks to dine there to re-boost their businesses. Anyone organizing that? Could be extended to a list of all businesses that suffered lost revenue due to the flood.
Went to Holland House. It was packed, and the hostess told us service might be slow, but we got drinks and food and were out in less than an hour, and food was great.
Jiller - sorry you had a bad experience. Try it earlier!
I went to Cha Chah at around 5:30, it didn't start picking up in there until around 7. Our server Benjamin was fantastic and the wine and tapas were great as well! I particularly loved the lamb. I didn't get to try dessert as I was stuffed but it looked great on our neighbors table.
Went to O'Charleys in hermitage. It was PACKED. I don't think they were prepared. We waited a little over an hour (for charity) but once we were seated it was all smooth sailing. I'm glad they participated for those of us in the suburbs. Great job to everyone who organized this!
It was an absolute crazy night at Cha Chah. Thanks to those of you who came out. (especially those who made reservations) I have never seen walk-in volume like this on a monday before. We were totally under staffed and to top, ran out of more than half our menu. We pushed as long as we could; any other night, I'd have stopped seating. Happy to participate. Thanks for positive blogging!
Left work a little after 5 and headed straight to Amerigo in Cool Springs to meet a friend for dinner. Already at that point the line was almost out the door. Friend and I had some wine at the bar while we waited about 40 minutes for a table. Our server was slammed but did a great job, and the food was fantastic. After that I dropped by Bravo Gelato on my way home to grab a couple of pints. There were at least 10 ppl inside and on the tables outside eating gelato and Noel said they'd been busy all day. So happy that it went so well!
It was a busy, busy night at the Acorn based on what Andy Hunter told us, but I really couldn't tell at the table. Everything was fantastic. And I have a new favorite cocktail--that lemony thing with the St. Germain. I would like one right now, actually.
