Richard Sandoval Concept Heading To Downtown Nashville

Lona, a restaurant brand in Denver-based Richard Sandoval Hospitality’s portfolio, is heading to Noelle, a hotel in Downtown Nashville at 200 Fourth Ave. N. It will take over the location that formerly housed Makeready L&L.

Lona, created by Chef Richard Sandoval and Chef Pablo Salas, is a modern Mexican cuisine concept. It has a location in Tampa as well as a concept in Fort Lauderdale.

“Lona aims to redefine the Mexican dining experience by combining traditional flavors with contemporary techniques and artistic presentation,” the Lona website states. “At Lona, guests will be immersed in a lively atmosphere that pays homage to Mexico’s rich culinary heritage while embracing the spirit of innovation.”
