“When conceptualizing Zeppelin, we wanted the restaurant and cuisine to tell a narrative that was relatable, yet new and distinctive to our guests,” said Scott Baird, Partner and Creative Director of Big Little Fish. “Our menu is a reflection of that, allowing diners the ability to explore dishes that are simple and light to more complex and substantial, with a trace of whimsy.”
Designed by award-winning design firm The Gettys Group, the 4500 square-foot restaurant will seat 165 guests. The design highlights light-colored finishes, an exposed all-white ceiling creating a loft-like ambiance, and wrap-around windows that open up to make an indoor meets outdoor dining atmosphere. Anchoring the center of the space is an 18-seat grand bar appointed with white metal, soft wood, and a finely detailed stone top. Zeppelin also boasts a 500 square-foot all-season outdoor lounge with four firepits that features misting and heating systems to provide a temperature-controlled outdoor retreat year-round. Zeppelin will offer dinner and drinks Tuesday – Thursday from 4 PM – 12 AM, and Friday – Saturday from 4 PM – 1 AM. Private dining and outdoor lounge areas will be available for special event bookings. To learn more about Zeppelin visit http://zeppelinnashville.com/, or follow them on Instagram and Facebook.
