Owners of Izzy’s are Jo and Brad Bitterman. Jo Bitterman says, “My husband, Brad Bittermann, and I met in Las Vegas in 2006 while working at a restaurant in the MGM Grand together. We have both been working in restaurants for 20+ years each…Brad has opened numerous restaurants, bars, and hotels in Las Vegas for the big-box companies, but we have never done something on our own. Our other partner and manager, Harland Hoel, worked with Brad after they met in 2010 at Caesars Palace…Brad was the Director of F&B and Harland was the manager of Gordon Ramsay’s Pub and Grill. We moved to Nashville in March of 2018 when Brad took a job as the Director of F&B at the Omni in downtown Nashville…and he got Harland to move here as well shortly after to be the GM of Barlines at the Omni. Our Chef, Tara Garland, worked with Brad and Harland as the AGM of Barlines at the Omni as well. She studied culinary arts and graduated from the University of Tennessee where she also helps teach other culinary students. This is her first Executive Chef role. When the hotel shut down in late March because of COVID, the four of us decided to venture out and open our own restaurant, called “Izzy’s,” named after our 13-year-old daughter. ”
The menu is divided into starters with options of chicken wings, artichoke dip, and tacos. Main menu items include a burger, pulled pork sandwich, lobster roll, and more. Side items include a variety of fries topped with lobster, pulled pork, cajun, or truffle fries. Izzy’s will be offering beer on tap as well.

Hours stated for the restaurant are 11 am – 9 pm but it’s unclear if this is seven days a week or just for the opening day.
