Noelle, the boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Nashville, in partnership with Richard Sandoval Hospitality, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated opening of Lona, a contemporary Mexican cuisine restaurant, in early 2025. This marks the third location for the renowned Fort Lauderdale-born restaurant, following its successful establishments in Fort Lauderdale and Tampa and the first location for award-winning Chef Richard Sandoval in Nashville.
A collaboration between chefs Richard Sandoval and Pablo Salas, Lona invites guests to savor an elevated Mexican dining experience where vibrant flavors meet culinary craftsmanship. Dive into standout dishes like the Tuna Ceviche with avocado, jalapeño, and citrus ponzu, the perfectly charred Shrimp Pastor Tacos topped with pineapple butter and salsa verde, or the indulgent Lobster Quesadilla brimming with Oaxaca cheese, roasted poblano, and chipotle aioli. Don’t miss Pablo’s Fajitas, a sizzling favorite served with caramelized onions and peppers, or the rich and satisfying Short Rib Enchiladas smothered in a smoky guajillo sauce. Finish on a sweet high note with housemade Churros paired with creamy Mexican chocolate and dulce de leche dipping sauces.
The experience is elevated further with Lona’s impressive beverage program, a tribute to Mexico’s spirited traditions. Guests can sip on expertly crafted cocktails like the smoky Mezcal Mule with ginger beer and lime, the refreshing Lona Margarita featuring reposado tequila and a tajín rim, or the Sangria Rojo, a fruit-forward blend of red wine, citrus, and spice. Mezcal and tequila enthusiasts will find themselves at home with a thoughtfully curated selection of premium pours that pair perfectly with each dish.
Lona Nashville will operate as an independent restaurant, initially offering dinner, with lunch and weekend brunch service shortly after. Conveniently located off Printers Alley, the restaurant is an exciting new addition to Nashville’s thriving culinary scene. As the grand opening approaches, more information will be shared, including detailed menus, hours of operation and exclusive experiences. Stay tuned for updates as we prepare to bring this vibrant concept to life.
