Just south of Nashville’s hustle and bustle you’ll find the quiet town of Franklin, Tennessee, once an upscale suburb that has exploded into the public eye in the last decade. Known for its darling downtown, historic ties to deep Civil War history, and the scads of country music stars that make their home in Williamson County, visitors are always enthralled to experience the beauty of Franklin. You can find 1799 Kitchen and Cocktails just off of Franklin’s main downtown strip, and it comes highly recommended by locals and visitors alike.
1799 Kitchen and Cocktails is located in the Harpeth Hotel, a Curio Collection location by Hilton. It's located on 2nd Avenue North in Franklin, Tennessee, which is a prime location for folks looking to experience the beauty of the city's downtown.
The interior design of the eatery is top-notch, providing a perfect oasis and escape for those seeking respite from the day. Can't you just imagine taking a dinner meeting here?
The chef-driven restaurant serves brunch, dinner, and handcrafted cocktails that shift seasonally. Innovative and thoughtfully crafted, the menu is meant to showcase local spice and flavor.
Reservations are definitely encouraged, though you can choose to walk in if you find yourself in the area. From Creole favorites to prime cuts of beef, there's a little something for everyone.
Dinner may be the most popular time to visit 1799, but brunch is truly decadent. We'd recommend trying the blueberry pancakes served with vanilla curd or the avocado toast made with pickled shallots and feta. Coming by for dinner? The whipped feta starter is a dream, and the cornish hen main course is pretty close to perfection.
You'll find craft cocktails and beer on the 1799 menu, and don't hesitate to order wine by the glass if you're looking for a prime pairing with your meal. Coming with friends? You can also purchase wine by the bottle!
Have you ever been to 1799? You can visit from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays.
