The Hart
5-Course Pacific Rim Inspired Tasting Event
This year-and-a-half old restaurant, named for the street upon which it is found, resides within the BentoLiving Hotel in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood. Justin Koziol, a Hawaiian native, came up with the concept for The Hart, and Hawaiian influences are felt throughout the menu of Executive Chef Ryan Costanza. Here, you’ll find signature fare like smoked tako poutine, ahi club sandwiches, whole grilled snapper, tuna poke, kimchi fried rice, and much more. Chef Costanza cut his cooking chops in multiple Michelin Starred restaurants, including Coi and Crenn Dining Group. At The Hart, he is marrying Mid-Southern American influences with global sub-tropic flavor profiles. We would be remiss if we didn’t also mention the dazzling modern interior, with its endlessly high ceilings and minimal barrier between interior and exterior. We can’t wait to visit The Hart, which Eater just named to its “Hottest New Restaurants in Nashville, April 2022”!
