Hathorne

The building that houses Hathorne was once the fellowship hall of the former Methodist church next door. The emphasis on welcoming hospitality is still quite evident in the lovely space that still shows off the church’s prayer rail as a room divider and repurposed pews for banquette seating. The menu revolves around seasonal vegetables accented with unexpected international touches like golden beets with a tahini/green onion puree, parmesan, and olive oil. Even meatier dishes like the fried chicken a la schnitzel feature delightful sides of sweet potato and spinach plus a bright hit of acid from the addition of a lemon vinaigrette. The return of Tuesday Burger Night with a rotating menu of specialty patties is worth marking on your calendar, and a new lunch service adds another excellent midday dining option for West Nashville.
