Nashville
The team behind the upcoming Hoxton Hotel in Pie Town, Evelyn Capital, has submitted conceptual plans for a new restaurant, Mēdüzā Mediterrania, set to open in 2026. This project is part of an initiative to establish the Downtown neighborhood, specifically Pie Town, as a vibrant destination beyond the well-known Broadway area.
The proposed restaurant will be strategically located next to the anticipated Walt Grace Vintage site at 717 Ewing Avenue, making it a significant addition to the area. Plans reveal that the current structures on the 0.45-acre site will be completely demolished, paving the way for a new, approximately 9,000 square foot restaurant, which will be the first ground-up restaurant space proposal in decades for Pie Town. This marks a shift from the recent trend of adaptive reuse projects in the neighborhood.
Design and Features
The design of Mēdüzā Mediterrania will include a driveway accessible from the alley, landscaped spaces, and a bio-retention pond, promoting a sustainable aesthetic. A request for concept plan approval has been submitted, with the property zoned as DTC. Pending approval, the plans will be discussed during the Metro Planning Commission agenda on 10/23/2025 to advance the proposal.
Cuisine and Management
Mēdüzā Mediterrania will feature upscale Mediterranean cuisine, with a diverse menu including a raw bar, steak options, and lobster selections. The restaurant will be operated by Noble 33, a group with existing locations in major cities such as New York City, Houston, and Miami. Noble 33’s portfolio extends to popular dining establishments like Toca Madera, Sparrow Italia, and Casa Madera.
Background and Surrounding Developments
This new restaurant site was previously home to The Library Cafe, which opened in early 2024 but closed later that same year. The culinary landscape in the vicinity continues to expand, with another restaurant, V Modern Italian, expected to open in the spring in the Gulch as the first U.S. location for Fast Fine Restaurant Group. Additionally, the region will see the opening of Demure Cocktail Lounge in Germantown, continuing the trend of new hospitality concepts.
Other developments in Pie Town include the purchase of a half-acre property near the site of a planned Marriott hotel by Sila Developments for $5.2 million. Furthermore, Ray Nashville, a 32-story multifamily tower, is set to begin construction, which will further contribute to the neighborhood’s ongoing growth.
Conclusion
The proposed Mēdüzā Mediterrania is a key part of Pie Town’s development strategy, highlighting the area’s potential as a food and entertainment destination. As Nashville prepares for this new culinary offering, the community anticipates the positive transformation this project will bring.
