Soft Shells Are Back!

Tags Menu, Restaurant, Nashville

We’ll be serving the soft shells crispy tonight and throughout the weekend as a special, with roasted fennel and pineapple relish.

Also, we have absolutely beautiful morels in right now, so one of our appetizer specials this weekend will be sauteed morel mushrooms with sherry and toast points. Our other special appetizer will be sauteed Savoy cabbage with Benton Farms prosciutto topped with a fried quail egg. I’m also expecting some squash blossoms from Timber Top farms any minute now, so as soon as I lay eyes on them we’ll figure out how best to serve this weekend.

Meanwhile, our newly revamped lunch menu has proven quite popular the last couple of weeks, so be sure to stop by from 11 am-2:30 pm Mondays-Fridays. And with bar manager Terry Raley back from his recent European family vacation—ask him about his wacky new Russian friend and backing down a narrow one-way street in Portugal—remember that Ombi offers refreshing drink and food specials, in the bar and patio area only, from 4–7 pm every day but Sunday. Specialty cocktails are $8, a $2 discount from the regular cost for that and other specialty cocktails. It’s $6 for your choice of premium vodka martinis, $5 for classic rye Manhattans, and half-price for draft beer, wine by the glass and white sangria. And the whole bar menu is full of tapas and other discounted menu items, all under $10.

‘Til next time,

Laura
