USA. The Southern Steak & Oyster, a well-known downtown Nashville steakhouse, has opened a full-service restaurant and bar in Concourse D of the South Terminal at Nashville International Airport.
The new 3,589sq ft restaurant will be jointly operated by TomKats Hospitality owner Tom Morales, who concessionaire Fraport Tennessee describes as a “legendary restaurateur”, and Skyport Hospitality.
The Morales family business has contributed to the Music City’s transformation over the years, according to Fraport, restoring historic local brands and creating new authentic concepts such as The Southern, which marks its tenth year with this new location.
The eatery – which has seating for 126 guests – features a New Orleans-inspired design with an open kitchen and abundant natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows.
Executive Chef Matt Farley has created a menu with cuisines from the Gulf Coast to the Caribbean, in a restaurant which uses the slogan ‘South of Somewhere’ to describe its culinary influences.
