About
Seema Prasad opened Miel in 2008 in Sylvan Park and has been running one of Nashville's most respected kitchens ever since. The food is French-inflected and locally driven — seasonal ingredients from Nashville-area farms, technique that reflects real classical training, menus that change with what's available rather than what's always been on the list.
The wine program is exceptional by any measure. With over two decades of experience building and curating lists, Prasad has assembled something at Miel that goes well beyond what the restaurant's scale might suggest — a deeply considered list that serious wine drinkers make a point of exploring.
Miel is open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner only. Reservations are strongly recommended. This is one of the city's most important neighborhood restaurants and one that the food community consistently cites when making the case for Nashville's dining depth.

Seema Prasad opened Miel in 2008 inside a historic meat market building on 53rd Avenue North in Sylvan Park, a residential neighborhood a few miles from downtown. In the years since, it has become one of Nashville's most respected restaurants — a French-inflected, locally sourced kitchen operating at a genuine fine-dining standard while staying rooted in the character of its neighborhood.
The menu is seasonal and locally driven, built around ingredients from Nashville-area farms and guided by the intersection of French technique and American sensibility. It changes with what's available and good, which means the cooking stays honest rather than static. Service is polished and invested without being formal — exactly the right register for what's on the plate.
