Kayne Prime

When UNC basketball coach Dean Smith left $200 to any player who had ever lettered with him in his will, several planned a trip to Nashville to spend their windfall at Kayne Prime. That's how well-known (and well-loved) this restaurant is. This is a classic, if modern, steakhouse owned and operated by M Street, one of the most popular restaurant companies in town. You can feast on bone marrow, oysters, the ultimate steakhouse salad–the wedge–wagyu, rib eye and more from a room with killer city views. The bacon cotton candy appetizer (yes, you read that right) is a particular favorite. Kayne Prime's prices fit its reputation, so it is primarily a special occasion spot, and folks are expected to dress the part. No flip flops or tank tops here.
