"The Marsh House is on the ground floor of the Thompson Hotel, and it scratches the seafood itch for all of Nashville’s landlocked, breakfast-seeking citizens. Sip a perfect cup of coffee before getting into a robust raw bar (even at 9am) and the fried oyster benedict with its perfectly poached eggs, zesty Creole remoulade hollandaise, and lightly breaded oysters. They do other things well besides seafood, like a surprisingly soft cast-iron cinnamon roll (let’s be real, those things can be hard as rocks) with tangy cream cheese frosting. All you need is one of the house Bloody Marys and you’ll feel like you’re somewhere in the Lowcountry South with a sea breeze." - bailey freeman
