Marquee Sets a Table for the Kind of Night Nashville Used to Dress For

Marquee is a room that treats dinner and a drink as one unbroken evening rather than two stops, done in the style of an earlier era when a night out had a certain polish to it. Nashville Guru has gone through its doors and come back with a tour of the place, which is reason enough for anyone who prefers a proper table and a well-made cocktail over a crowded bar to take notice. For a city whose reputation rests on what happens after the sun goes down, a spot built around lingering well and looking the part is exactly the sort of arrival worth marking.
