Located in the historic Werthan factory, Rolf and Daughters offers a casual, vibrant atmosphere that pairs well with its sharable plates, evolving natural wine list, and house cocktails. Since opening in late 2012, Philip Krajeck's Germantown restaurant has been named one of America's Best New Restaurants by Bon Appétit and Esquire magazines. Fun, seasonal, and inventive, the menu highlights produce from local farms and handmade pastas.

Reservations are accepted for the dining room, communal tables, and bar. We also keep a portion of the restaurant open for walk-ins, both at the bar and communal tables!

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Philip Krajeck

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 2012, Rolf and Daughters has racked up accolades from Bon Appétit, Esquire, and more for its exquisite pastas and seasonal, New American fare. Today, James Beard nominee Philip Krajeck is still wowing fans at this local Germantown favorite with plump tortelloni and dry-aged beef tartare. Linger with a glass from the knockout natural wine list in the rustic-chic space lined with communal wooden tables or on the charming patio.

    Rolf and Daughters is excited to announce, "A Conversation with Ben Shewry and Ira Kaplan"! Ben Shewry, celebrated chef of Attica in Melbourne, New Zealand and author of, 'Uses for Obsession: A Chef's Memoir', is joining us for a conversation about his career, his inspirations, and of course, his obsessions. Helping to moderate the conversation is Ben's friend, musician and co-founder of Yo La Tengo, Ira Kaplan. To accompany the conversation, Rolf and Daughters is serving lunch "staff-meal style", to give each ticketed guest a glimpse of what real restaurant life is like. Books are provided with the purchase of the ticket. Immediately following the conversation and Q&A, Ben is sticking around to sign them! *PLEASE NOTE* - Tickets are $45 each and seating is on a first come, first serve basis. If purchasing multiple tickets, we may not be able seat groups together (although we will try). - Tickets come with a copy of 'Uses for Obsession: A Chef's Memoir'.

    Always outstanding. Can’t go wrong ordering the greens—it’s the perfect salad. Rigatoni was delicious. Loved the noyaux/meyer lemon dessert. Best Arnold Palmers maybe anywhere. Fantastic service. Highly recommend.

    Back in Nashville after six years and Rolf & Daughters was top of my list to visit again--it didn't disappoint! By far our best meal in Nashville. We especially enjoyed the straciatella and squash toast (probably our favorite of the night), the cecamariti pasta in a yummy buttery/peppery sauce, and the pork and farro. Flavors were spot on. We sat at the bar, which gave us an opportunity to engage with our friendly and helpful server and others on the staff. This place offers a great blend of warmth, elegance, and approachability that I find appealing. Highly recommend!

    Hi Conni, Wow—what an amazing full-circle moment! We’re so honored Rolf and Daughters topped your return-to-Nashville list and even more thrilled it lived up to the memory. From our squash toast to the cecamariti and pork, it sounds like you hit all the seasonal standouts. We’ll pass your kind words along to our bar team—they’ll love hearing it. Can’t wait to welcome you both back next time you’re in Germantown! All the best, The Rolf and Daughters Team
