Watermark Team to Open Restaurant in Adelicia
The team behind Watermark restaurant in The Gulch will expand its restaurant reach toward Midtown with the opening of miro district food and drink in The Adelicia residential high-rise. Slated to open in May 2008, miro district will offer Italian-inspired cuisine with a seasonal menu of shared snacks, house-cured meats and artisan cheeses, handmade pastas and main courses.
Nathan Lindley, the general manager of Watermark, along with executive chef Dean Robb—both alumni of Frank Stitt’s Bottega Café & Restaurant in Birmingham, Ala.—will lead the restaurant, which is the second such venture of owner Jerry Brown’s Hospitality Development Group.
The restaurant takes its name from the 18th century moniker for Nashville and surrounding area. In his novel In the Miro District, author Peter Taylor depicts life in Nashville’s Acklen Park neighborhood (where the Adelicia is located) as a “gentler world…known romantically as the Miro District.”
Located at 906 20th Ave. S., miro district will serve lunch and dinner, with lighter fare available throughout the day and late evening.

go nashville go
It's easy to tell I'm middle aged and suburban -- instead of thinking how great it's going to be, what I think about is how hard it is to park in that area.

Posted 07/21/2008 at 12:49:59 PMFABULOUS! LOVE Dean Robb! Order the caprese salad appetizer of heirloom tomatoes, California mozzarella, basil AND for your entree the pappardelle with braised duck and fennel and be transported to foodie heaven. Finish with Dean Robb's homemade lemoncello. ECSTASY!
Posted 08/24/2008 at 10:46:43 AMMy husband and I ate at Miro District on Saturday night and we were not impressed! The service was terrible. Our server never even introduced himself to us...he only offered to comment on the menu when I asked him and he still did not try to "sell" me anything. The Capri Salad was fabulous...it was the best part of the meal. After waiting 40 minutes for our entrees they arrived at the table luke warm. I had the veal and despite it being cold it was burnt on the bottom side. My husband had the grouper and it was very tasty...it would have been better if the bed of greens were warm. We then pressed our luck and got dessert. I again prodded a suggestion out of our server and we had the cinnamon creme brulee in a pumpkin...terrible. You could see the crystalized butter sticking to the side of the ice cold pumpkin. Needless to say $100 later we will not go back.
