About Lion’s Share

A CHEF-LED RESTAURANT FOR CELEBRATIONS…OR ANY NIGHT OF THE WEEK.

Inspired by the private drinking clubs of London and classic hunting and fishing lodges, Lion’s Share, from Chef Robbie Wilson, is a fine dining Nashville restaurant in Sylvan Park—-equal parts neighborhood gem and destination. The menu reflects Wilson’s signature “balance of comfort and adventure,” with a brawny precision from the kitchen, where much of the cuisine is kissed by smoke and cooked over a custom-built, wood-fired hearth. While proteins take center stage over open fire, vegetables are given equal attention, and pristine raw fish is sourced with the same intent.

A dynamic bar program features classic cocktails with a modern perspective alongside an extensive wine list. Set within a richly detailed, British-inspired interior, Lion’s Share offers both an elevated dining experience and a lively bar and lounge—ideal for date nights, celebrations, or a more casual night out.

Equally suited to special occasions or a relaxed evening at the bar, Lion’s Share is meant to be enjoyed often—-and in many ways.

Chef Wilson, a James Beard Foundation Award Semifinalist for Best Chef: California, brings Michelin-level experience and Esquire Best New Restaurants in America recognition to Nashville. Lion’s Share features multiple dining spaces for private dining, group dining, and events, accommodating parties from 8 to 150 guests.
