Legendary chocolate pie at Sylvan Park restaurant
The sign will be up in the next few days, but Bites will tell you before then — Sylvan Park is opening a Donelson outlet in the former Ole Dinner Bell location on Lebanon Road.
Owner Eleanor Clay confirmed that she hopes to open by early December. The restaurant is one of several under the Sylvan Park name, including the original on Murphy Road in Sylvan Park and locations on Nolensville Road and in Melrose.
The Donelson building was in good shape, so the Sylvan crew just gave it a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint, plus some Sylvan decor and equipment. Sylvan Park Donelson will seat 94 and be open to serve during lunch and dinner until 8 p.m.
The menu will be largely the same as other Sylvan Park locations, but Clay says she's also working with a few new items, including broccoli cheese casserole.
This is Sylvan Park's second expansion into Donelson — Clay opened a Sylvan Park on Lebanon Road near Fletcher's Pizza. She sold the restaurant, and it operated as Donelson Park Cafe for a while before closing.
