Virago Sake Patio
Last year I started a little series called “Tweet Me Right!”, where I recognized local businesses that impressed me with their Twitter skills. Tweeting a special of the day isn’t what gets my attention. Communication is key. I look for Twitter accounts that are interacting with their customers, creating dialogue, and thanking them for their business.
It has actually been quite a long time since I’ve done one of these spotlights, but recently someone in particular has really stood out from the rest of the pack of Nashville tweeters, and I felt compelled to do one again.
Tavern Upper Patio
This recognition is a little different than others I’ve done, because I’m not just focusing on one restaurant, but instead an entire group of restaurants - M Street. The M Street Group is made up of Tavern, Virago, Whiskey Kitchen and Kayne Prime. I follow them all on Twitter, so I get to eavesdrop on many a conversation between them and their patrons, and I like what I see.
While the tweeting aspect is the main reason for this shout-out, it’s not the only one. Every part of the business comes into play – food, service, ambiance. I can honestly say that all of my most recent experiences at each of these places has been spot on. Need a reminder of some of the fantastic food I’ve had at each? Just look here for Whiskey Kitchen, here for Virago, here for Tavern and here for Kayne Prime.
Whiskey Kitchen
There are a couple of things in particular that I’d like to point out in addition to those posts. First, the Chef’s Menu at Virago. While most of you know that the sushi is some of the best in the city, you may not often try some of the other amazing offerings. That’s a mistake. The next time you’re there, venture off that sushi menu and try something new. I bet you won’t be disappointed.
Next, let’s talk about Kayne Prime. Yes, it’s a steakhouse. To be completely honest, up until now, steakhouses are pretty much my last choice when dining out. I’m an adventurous eater and have never really understood the allure of eating something I could easily make at home. But my attitude has now changed and it’s completely thanks to Kayne Prime.
This is no typical steakhouse. The menu is inventive, creative, and even vegetarians can leave feeling not only satisfied, but happy. In fact, last week when I was craving vegetables and had a dinner date with a non-meat eating friend, the first place I thought to go was Kayne Prime. Sound weird? Maybe a bit, but we feasted on an array of incredible (very large) side dishes, and even had enough left over to take home for another meal.
Kayne Prime Union Room
Now to the very best part of this post. Reinforcing my opinion of their awesomeness, the M Street group has happily offered up three $25 gift cards for me to give away to my readers! One card will be for Tavern, one for Virago, and the other for Kayne Prime. All you have to do to enter is this:
Mandatory for Entry: Leave a comment below telling me which of the M Street restaurants is your favorite and why. Never been to any of them? Then which one do you most want to try?
Increase your chances to win with these additional entries. Note- you must leave a separate comment:
- On Twitter, follow one of the M Street group restaurants that you don’t already follow: @viragonashville, @tavernnashville, @kayneprime, or @whiskeykitchen and tweet the following: Win a $25 gift card for one of Nashville’s best restaurants from @betheats! http://bit.ly/rbCK4p Then come back here and tell me you tweeted, along with your twitter handle.
- “Like” Kayne Prime on Facebook, then come back here and tell me you liked them, leaving your first name and last initial so it can be verified. (KP is the newest of the bunch, so we need to show it some love!)
Contest ends on Monday, August 22nd at NOON CST. Once the winners are chosen, I’ll contact them via email and will post it here on the blog. If any of the winners don’t respond within 48 hours, I’ll be forced to choose others, so make sure you check your email!

I’m pretty new to the Nashville area, so I haven’t had the opportunity to try any of the M Street restaurants, but I have really been wanting to check out Whiskey Kitchen. I’ve heard the atmosphere for young people is great!
Eleanor N. — August 18, 2011 @ 7:19 am
That’s a tough choice — but my favorite is Virago — I’ve loved going there since I first moved here in 2005. Amazing sushi!

Lindsay — August 18, 2011 @ 7:31 am
Sad to admit I’ve *only* tried Tavern, but it was delicious. I still think about those sweet potato chips. A gift certificate would be the perfect way to get me to try the others! :)

Beth replied: — August 18th, 2011 @ 8:17 am
I love WK, but it can get very crowded, so I suggest either going early or really late. Virago would be wonderful for date night dinner, and since WK is right across the street, you could either start or end there for a cocktail!

I love that cheese plate too. I had a birthday party at Virago a few years ago, and ordered a few of them for the group and people raved about it all night long. Yum, now you’ve got me craving cheese at 9 a.m.!
Leah — August 18, 2011 @ 8:06 am
To choose between Tavern & Whiskey Kitchen is almost painful, but if forced, I’d have to pick Tavern. It’s my latest restaurant obsession. The food is outstanding and the service even better!

Agree Leah! I’m so impressed with the service every time I go, and I haven’t eaten a bad thing yet!
Elizabeth — August 18, 2011 @ 8:06 am
I can’t believe I wasn’t following Tavern already on Twitter – a group of friends tried out their brunch two weekends ago and I was BLOWN AWAY. I’m very picky about breakfast/brunch (other favorites: Mad Donna’s and Pfunky Griddle) and this has now joined my “Top Five” favorites. The stir-fry is killer (apparently a Hawaiian specialty?) and although I didn’t get to try the red velvet waffle, that’s next on my list! (www.twitter.com/elizabethelmore).
I also went and “liked” KP on FB. Love to see others raving about the mushrooms and pepperoni side dish. I swear you’re going to find me at the bar having a cocktail and munching on those one of these days…

Beth replied: — August 18th, 2011 @ 8:42 am
They do!! It’s slightly different– KP’s has pine nuts whereas Tavern’s has almonds, but both are simply divine. That salad is one of the main reasons I chose to go to KP recently. That and the corn brulee!

Whiskey Kitchen has become our go-to place for staff lunches. We love it. Of course I love their nachos.

Easy to answer this one…..we have recently discovered the amazing Wednedsay happy hour at Tavern and have been two weeks in a row! 2-4-1 cocktails from 2pm — 10pm? Nuts. And the food is great and affordable. Atmosphere…..location, and our server Jennifer was perfect yesterday. It will be in our regular rotation for sure.

amy (fearless homemaker) — August 18, 2011 @ 10:23 am
virago might be my favorite, since i have the longest history with it — i’ve been going there for years + it’s always been amazing. i do want to try kayne prime soon, though, especially because that’s where my now-husband + i first met 5+ years ago, when it was still radius-10. =)
Wallace — August 18, 2011 @ 10:42 am
Tavern is probably my favorite right now. Whiskey Kitchen is great on Sunday afternoons when they aren’t busy. I’ve only been to Virago for drinks on the rooftop patio but want to eat there and at KP soon.

I love Viragos. Every since they were at the old location. They have the best sushi and I will never cheat on Viragos and go anywhere else. The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is great. They are the best. But I also have to commend the other places they are great also.
Vicki — August 18, 2011 @ 12:37 pm
What a great giveaway! Virago will always have a place in my heart (moreso the original, but I love the new one also). It was the first restaurant I went to when I moved to Nashville and it was where I sat every Monday night for half-price sushi. Once upon a time I may have even had a thing for one of the bartenders…
All that aside, I would love to try Kayne – it’s the only M Street restaurant I haven’t been to!

Hey Beth,
I’m not even sure how I stumbled on your blog, but I subscribed right away. (It’s the first blog I actually subscribed to!) I totally related to being that person that everyone calls for restaurant advice, recipes, etc. But I’m not complaining-I love it!! I’ve thought about starting a food blog for awhile, but for now I’ll live vicariously through you! (I do contribute once a week or so to my group’s blog, and I find myself talking about food or recipes a lot on there…www.pointofgrace.net if you care! ha!) I’m the pudgier blond! HA!
OK, so Virago hands down. I finally figured out a few months back through a friend that I could order sushi with “soy paper” instead of seaweed. I LOVE IT AND CRAVE IT NOW! The seaweed was holding me back-a texture thing. So I’ve figured out that Virago is the Holy Grail of sushi…
And, I found out about Tavern’s brunch on your blog! Closer to Brentwood and me than Marche, so I’m all about it! Can’t wait to try.
Thanks for taking time to write your cute blog!
Shelley
PS I’ve never commented on a blog either, so it will be a miracle if this even posts…

Have eaten at all but Viarago and am a fan. They hit on all cylinders of great restaurants, food, Decor – ambiance – and most importantly service. They genuinely seemed happy to have you and leave you wanting to come back. I have been a regular at the Palm since they opened and have enough points to have my caricuture on the wall but have gone to KP twice in a row now and haven’t looked back. I have been in Viarago for drinks and think it is a beautiful restaurant, little something for everyone.
Just need to get a condo down there so I don’t have to leave.

I’ve only ever eaten at Virago, and that was a loooong time ago! I went to Tavern for drinks & I liked the atmosphere better there. I was drooling over their menu, so I’d definitely list that one as my favorite!

I just started following Whiskey Kitchen on Twitter- heard great things about them. However I also tweeted your comment verbatim! My handle is @RhondaHendricks.

Tavern’s hamburger and sweet potato fries are amazing! I’m sure I’d like them all but I LOVE Tavern!

I’m split on which concept is my favorite. I really like Tavern’s food and drink menu, but I’m a member of Citizen so I have to say it’s my favorites since I can get a little of each concept there!

I tweeted my entry @blakea89 and like Kayne Prime on Facebook. Blake A.

I LOVE going to Whiskey Kitchen because the food is excellent for the price. The bar above Virago overlooking the city is an AWESOME atmosphere.

I’ve only been to WK once, and never to the others… but WK was so fun, had some freakin’ fabulous Veev Lemonade, and we just had the greatest time that night. I’d love to find a steakhouse that my mah johngg girls would love: one vegetarian, one all big burritos, one doesn’t venture outside the comfort zone, and me: the human garbage compactor. So I’d LOVE to win Kayne Prime. Thanks for the giveaway, Beth!
KS — August 20, 2011 @ 4:27 pm
PS. Retweeted you, and retweeted WK’s tweet!

loved the whiskey kitchen… so classic nashville to make shrimp and grits even more awesome while maintaining its core greatness!

I liked Kayne Prime! If they’re anything like the other M street restaurants/bars….I know I’ll love them!!!

I have only been to Tavern once and it was for brunch, so I would love to go back again for lunch.
ErinsFoodFiles — August 21, 2011 @ 4:00 pm
We’re pretty partial to Whiskey Kitchen, but then again we’ve yet to visit Kayne Prime!

I like the drinks at Tavern. Would really LOVE to try Kayne Prime – but its a bit out of budget for me, so this gift card would be awesome!
Whitney — August 22, 2011 @ 7:30 am
I LOVE Virago. From the green been tempura (delicious!) to the half price bottles of wine on Sundays, it’s definitely my favorite! The upstairs patio isn’t too bad either :).
Scott — August 22, 2011 @ 7:53 am
I’ve only been to Whiskey Kitchen…which was awesome. The thing I liked most about it (or any restaurant) is when the menu has so many choices that sound amazing. I’m not a get the same thing every time kind of guy (ala Beth at Germantown cafe!) so a place with a lot of different “can’t go wrong” menu items is great for me!
Leslie @ Frugal Nashville — August 22, 2011 @ 8:13 am
I really like Whiskey Kitchen, but I’m still waiting to try Kayne Prime!
Sue (KyddSR) — August 22, 2011 @ 8:29 am
I had a really fun time at Tavern with some girlfriends on a Sunday afternoon. They get bonus points for being open post-brunch times, and the cocktails were great too!
Sue (KyddSR) — August 22, 2011 @ 8:31 am
Tweet, tweet. (@kyddsr), and i already follow ‘em all.
Abbey — August 22, 2011 @ 8:32 am
We love Whiskey Kitchen. They have the best fish tacos. Can’t wait to try the others soon!
Sue (KyddSR) — August 22, 2011 @ 8:33 am
Now I “like” Kayne Prime on FB (Suzanne R)
Ginny Drews — August 22, 2011 @ 9:06 am
Nashville I’m on my way YAY, I haven’t tried any of these wonderful places yet but am so looking forward to trying all of them. We will be moving to the area in 3 weeks, can’t wait.

Hi Beth,
I have recently moved back to Nashville and am excitedly overwhelmed by all things food/restaurant/farming/local going on! Congratulations on your Food Network show! Of all of the things I have stumbled upon recently, I am most thrilled for the fresh pressed juices from thejuicenashville.com. She is serving at 12th South and Woodbine Farmers Markets, with home delivery on the horizon. The most pleasurable, fresh-tasting juice I’ve experienced and Stephanie, the owner, is delightful. Hope you or your readers are able to enjoy some, and I look forward to learning more about what is going on in Nashville through you!
