Claymore

Nashville diners should treat Claymore as a coming-soon Wedgewood-Houston steakhouse, not a live reservation target. The useful expectation reset is that this is being framed as a neighborhood steakhouse from the team behind iggy’s, rather than a splashy steakhouse with published menus, prices, hours, or booking rules already in circulation.

A 60-seat steakhouse from the iggy's team

the restaurant is projected to open in 2027 with 60 seats. Its strongest trust signal is the people behind it: Chef Ryan Poli and Sommelier Matthew Poli, whose iggy’s is described in the audited material as an award-winning Italian restaurant centered around fresh pasta. That matters because the early pitch is built around careful sourcing, kitchen detail, and a beverage program designed to work with the food.

The room is being positioned around hospitality and neighborhood use. The available evidence points to an emphasis on creating a welcoming environment for staff and customers, which is more useful to know than speculative menu talk at this stage. Expect the identity to sit closer to a polished local steakhouse than a format driven by spectacle.

The bar looks like part of the decision

Its bar program is one of the few concrete details already named: classic cocktails, top-shelf spirits, a broad whiskey list, house-made ingredients, and spirit-free options. That makes the beverage side a real reason to watch the opening, especially for first-timers deciding whether this is only a steak dinner or also a serious bar stop.

Off-premise dining is not something to plan around yet. No takeout, delivery, menu, or packaging details have been published in the audited evidence, so the safer read is to judge the restaurant first as an in-room steakhouse and bar when it opens.

Quick reference: projected 2027 opening, Wedgewood-Houston, 60 seats, steakhouse format, bar with cocktails, whiskey, and spirit-free options.
