417 Union is a place where great food drives an ongoing celebration of vibrant community and rich history. We are currently first come first served. We serve classic American fare with an emphasis on Southern traditions. Like many of our favorite Southern cooks who came before us, we are inspired to build on this culinary foundation with new innovations every season. We are proud to bring a variety of fresh, high-quality food to the Nashville community, as we have for eleven years and counting. We love to draw on the bounty of ingredients produced in Middle Tennessee, and we buy local whenever possible. Nashville bakery Provence provides all our sandwich breads, and our famous house blend coffee is fair trade and organic.

Outstanding! One of the best meals we have ever had! Each dish was elevated to another level and was the best we have had of its kind (eg gnocchi, crispy brussels, cornbread, roast chicken, flourless chocolate cake with brown butter gelato). Wonderful service. Great atmosphere. We will recommend and return when in Nashville again!

It was Valentine's Day - nevertheless we were seated immediately but never with the sense we were being rushed to make way for the crowd. The food was excellent and inventive - the valet had our car in no time and it made a day that is often perfunctory fell special.
