Dining room at Capitol Grille, Nashville, TNChef Tyler Brown is serious about local foods, so The Capitol Grille’s kitchen brings in produce from nearby Glen Leven farm. Beef is also local; there’s a seasonal feature on the menu that lets you taste Tennessee beef along with whatever’s pushing up out of the ground at the moment. Fresh foundations are only half the story, though. In Brown’s hands, these ingredients become simple but distinctive dishes. Definitely get the pork shoulder with fava beans and old-time Southern heirloom rice. The “boudin blanc”---crawfish pies with green onion chimichurri---is a winning starter. A list of à la carte sides accompany a selection of “simply prepared” meats such as North Carolina trout or house-aged beef. At breakfast, indulge in the Southern staples: grits, biscuits and sausage cream gravy. For lunch, savor entrée salads, sandwiches and reasonably priced pasta dishes, and at the bar bargains may be had on certain Capitol Grille offerings. Just down the hall is the clubby Oak Bar, a haunt of legislators, lobbyists and downtown power brokers. Dessert means coconut cake and profiteroles with chocolate sauce. The wine list is a fine collection that ably supports the cuisine.
