NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Gaylord National Resort is delighted to announce the opening of the all-new, completely reimagined and modernized Old Hickory Steakhouse on Wednesday, May 10, 2023. The elegant steakhouse is the third dining experience scheduled to debut to guests and will offer a timeless fine dining experience with locally sourced ingredients to create exquisite and extraordinary meals. The property’s ongoing investment is part of an unprecedented $14 million restaurant transformation following a dramatic $64 million guestroom renovation.
Guests of Gaylord National’s Old Hickory Steakhouse will be welcomed into a 10,000+ sq. foot area divided into four unique spaces decorated with rich hues of forest green, deep-sea blue, sandy beach, copper and gold. Windows along the outside wall will provide a spectacular view of the Garden Atrium that will allow diners to view the resort’s light and fountain shows throughout the year. Every detail of the design has been intentional with the goal to provide a timeless backdrop that showcases elegance and refinement for guests of Old Hickory.
Highlights of the Old Hickory Steakhouse space include:
- Old Hickory Bar, an all-new wrap around bar where guests can enjoy hand-crafted cocktails and savor a curated menu.
- The Den, just off the bar, is a richly appointed and secluded room featuring cozy seating, a statement fireplace and large screen TVs.
- Main Dining Room, a contemporary two-room area which will boast a gorgeous gold ceiling, masterful lighting, marble and wood tables and custom seating with leather accents.
- The Terrace Room, a room for all occasions with three walls of windows, lush seating, moody lighting and views overlooking National Harbor.
“Food brings us together, making the everyday special, and special occasions an event to remember,” said Allen Smith, director of food and beverage at Gaylord National Resort. “Our goal for Old Hickory Steakhouse is to provide a refined dining experience whether that be for a solo traveler, a business dinner or locals enjoying a luxurious meal in the dining room or casual drinks and a meal at the bar.”
