The name is the address of this downtown breakfast and lunch spot in the space that for years housed the beloved Southern teahouse Satsuma. Early morning specialties include pancakes, steak and eggs, pork chop and eggs, omelets, thick-cut bacon and hash browns. The basic lunch menu is supplemented by daily blue plate specials like fried chicken, beef and pork chops with two or three sides. The unique calling card for 417 Union is its genuine, 60-year-old soda bar that serves old-fashioned favorites like banana splits, hot fudge sundaes, floats, malts, milk shakes and even New York egg creams.

It's hard not to leave the lush dining rooms of this small Italian chain without feeling completely stuffed with pasta, seafood, meats and pizza, which are consistently well cooked and moderately priced. A menu of small plates offers a variety of Northern Italian fare.

Everyone has their favorite meat-and-three, but Arnold’s probably tops more lists, as evidenced by the cross-section of Nashvillians who line up daily for the fried green tomatoes, peppery roast beef, turnip greens, bread pudding and chocolate pie. Presided over for two decades by the curmudgeonly but lovable Jack Arnold and his luscious, vivacious wife Rose, the dining room has fewer tables than customers, so be prepared to share. Son Kahlil finally talked his parents into bringing back breakfast, and downtown commuters start pulling into the graveled lot just after dawn, lured by the sizzle of bacon and smell of biscuits. The restaurant used to be cash-only, but it has recently begun accepting Visa and MasterCard and opens for breakfast in fall 2006.

At the Table
A handful of entrees rotates daily at this cheery, no-nonsense meat-and-three, which serves some of the best fried fish in town. Friday is literally “fry day” when pork chops, chicken, fish and ribs are all on the table. On Saturday, the staff preps five hours for Sunday dinner, with the likes of turkey and dressing, fried chicken, baked chicken, baked ham, oxtails, mac-and-cheese and sweet potatoes. Compared to the blue-plate fare at so many other meat-and-threes, At the Table's vegetables are less cooked—or more precisely—less overcooked, and retained a greater similarity to the fresh produce from which they came. Owner Robert Hudson takes pride in the fact that he uses all fresh veggies from the Farmers' Market, with few exceptions. — Carrington Fox

The first thing you notice about a Bagel Face bagel is the shape (more akin to a baseball than to a doughnut), followed closely by the texture (more tender than so many jaw-breaking specimens, without being fluffy like a bun masquerading as a bagel). It’s a combination that has won over restaurants and coffee shops across town — which stock the bagels for their sandwiches and breadbaskets — and that lures an early morning clientele to the sunny yellow shotgun space in Riverside Village.

To speak in film terms, you might call Belcourt Taps & Tapas a good date movie, a romantic comedy leaning toward a chick flick. On any given visit, the restored bungalow is equal parts cooing couples and girls’ nights out. The menu is a small ensemble cast of shared plates and desserts. If Taps & Tapas is a film, it is the soundtrack that makes it sing. Owners Chris Lynch and Rose Melillo brought in a sound engineer to outfit the quaint house as a listening room, and the result is an intimate room where quiet conversation can coexist with a writers’ night.
