Historic charm and culinary wit team up for a one-two hit at this cozy, sophisticated restaurant.
The Mad Platter Restaurant & Catering owners, Craig and Marcia Jervis, met in 1984 while catering the Jackson Victory Tour, fell in love and literally have been cooking together ever since. In 1989, after five years of catering, they opened The Mad Platter Restaurant. The Mad Platter Restaurant, located minutes from Downtown Nashville in Historic Germantown, offers daily changing menus and an award-winning wine list. Dishes include: filet of beef tenderloin cracked black pepper crusted and topped with stilton and red wine gastrique, sauteed shrimp and andouille over sun-dried tomato and parmesan polenta and the mad platter rack of lamb marinated, seared, and slow-roasted to order in a Dijon rosemary crust. Whether big or small, The Mad Platter catering services can be customized to your budget and theme. Visit The Mad Platter for lunch or dinner.

In Short
The restaurant anchors the renaissance of historic Germantown, and plays off the pre-Victorian feel of the neighborhood. Exposed brick, tall painted-wood ceilings, and beige walls contain a cozy room with bookshelves, small two-tops and crisp white tablecloths. A favorite for savvy business lunchers, the tables fill up by noon. Come dinnertime, a more sophisticated crowd arrives from all over town. The eclectic menu delights in playing the seasons against a backdrop of regional American cooking.
